Whew! We may have been on our summer hours, but this week’s YouTube Live was full of crafting chaos, kitty updates, tornadoes (seriously!), and some real good laughs. Oh, and yes, a super cute card that’s easier than it looks!
We crafted up an accordion-style fun fold card featuring the brand new Floral Charm Designer Series Paper, paired with Timid Tiger and Night of Navy for a bold, unexpected combo that we are definitely recreating again.
This fold has it all: it’s simple, it’s showy, and it lets your DSP do the talking (and you know we’ve got a lot of it to use up; don’t act like your stash is small 😉). Plus, it’s finished off with a belly band and a simple sentiment using our trusty Stylish Shapes Dies.
This card is a winner for swaps, birthdays, or just adding some "wow" to your stash of go-to cards. If you missed the live or just want the deets without rewatching our chaotic shenanigans, we’ve got your back.
For this card, we used Night of Navy for the card base. Then we adhered layers of the new Floral Charm Designer Series Paper and Basic White Cardstock. The sentiment from the coordinating stamp set was stamped in Night of Navy ink then die cut out using the Stylish Shapes dies. We then adhered this to the belly band we created long with coordinating die cut leaves from the die set.
Be sure to watch the YouTube video for full directions.
