This is a quick and easy mini fancy fold card disguised as a standard sized card! By adding a mini card on a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of cardstock, it fits into Stampin’ Up!’s Medium Sized Envelope for mailing, and doesn’t get lost on a gift.
I used some of the new Pattern Party Designer Series Paper on this one. It’s a huge package – 48 sheets – 4 each of 12 double sided designs, and you can only purchase this with Stampin’ Rewards. You earn Stampin’ Rewards once your product total hits $200 CAD when you host a online party/combine orders with a friend or two, or splurge on yourself. Of course, there’s also incentive to hit $300 in product sales right now because you’ll earn an extra $30 in rewards! See the information about that here.
This card is a single piece of Pool Party Cardstock cut to 4.25″ x 5.5″, and then I die cut the centre of the Designer Series Paper with one of the Stitched Rectangles. The Z folded Pale Papaya Cardstock covers the hole in the centre, and then the die cut piece fits on the front of that mini fancy fold card. The sentiment is another Stitched Rectangle on a Tasteful Label Die Cut. The sentiment and flower images are from the Free As A Bird Stamp Set.
I didn’t add any bulky embellishments to this card because I didn’t want to make it too thick for easy mailing – but you could easily add some ribbon or bling to further fancy it up!
We had fun making this easy mini fancy fold card together in Stampers Club the other evening. Our Zoom gatherings are usually filled with chatter and laughter, often with everyone laughing at me because I’ve messed up something when showing the construction of the card – I will often (unintentionally) demonstrate “What NOT to do when making this card”! While virtual card classes have their learning curve, some of the definite positives are the quick commute time for all and the quick class time – since I die cut and prep everything ahead of time for everyone! If you’re interested in joining us, new members can start their 6 months in club at any time – our next get together will be in June, so if you’d like to join us, please contact me! As we will still be virtual for a while, as long as you are located within Canada and can access the internet, you’ll be able to join us! I will most likely continue to offer an online version of club even once we can safely gather in groups again, because it’s nice to have options.
Thanks for stopping by the YamStamps site! Leave a comment and let me know what kind of projects you might like to see here in future!
