The past few days I’ve been “at” a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator event virtually. They called it On Stage at Home. Normally at this time of year we’d be gathering together in various locations around the world to learn, share ideas and meet with friends old and new. This year, we were sat in front of our various devices, but more demonstrators than ever were able to attend, world wide, so I guess there’s a silver lining. It did make me realize, though, that the thing I like most about these events is hugging my friends. So in lieu of that, here’s a fun fold friendship card. Cards are like hugs in the mail – and will have to do until we can gather together again.
This is an easy fun fold design, with two pieces of cardstock that are cut lengthwise (the base is 4.25″ x 11″). Trim a section off the front flap and then add another piece that is narrower as an opposite fold. I based the colour scheme off the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper and added an Ornate Layer behind the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.
It’s a pretty straightforward layout of a card – background, layer with patterned paper, layer with sentiment – but by changing up the design of the card itself and playing with the folds it makes it more interesting.
