Welcome to our Blog Hop!

Welcome to the monthly Fun Folds Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators!!

We have a great lineup of talented crafters for you today, who enjoy creating fun folds.  If you love fun folds, I am hoping you find inspiration and enjoyment so much that you will be inspired to join us next time.  You are in for a treat with all the talented demonstrators participating. You can find that list  located at the end of the post about my card creation.  

The card I am sharing today for our Blog Hop is created using Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck stamp set and Dies. This is a fun  Fun Fold.  The person who receives it will certainly get a chuckle when they see it.  My card today is a CASe of Kathi Ondus’ card.  Click on her name and you can see her video.  Kathi is one of the talented ladies in today’s Blog Hop.

This Fun Fold is really like two cards in one. The regular size card and a smaller one inside.  I started with Crumb Cake as the base for the regular size card.  To this I added a panel of Copper Clay card stock embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  A piece of Basic White card stock has a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck stamp set stamped at the top using Early Espresso ink.

I  stamped, colored and die cut all the pieces needed to create this card. I used Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Copper Clay, Bronze, Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon, and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker for coloring. I die cut the sun from a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock and adhered it to the top of the Basic White piece.  I cut a stump from a scrap of One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper for the rooster to stand on to announce it is morning.  I stamped the greeting in Early Espresso ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, matted on a scrap of Daffodil Delight card stock and adhered  on the Basic White piece and also the Copper Clay embossed piece.  All greetings and sentiments are from Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck stamp set.

The smaller inside card is Basic White embossed on the front using Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. Usually when I use embossing in my cards, I will emboss a separate piece and adhere to the base. I find it easier to do that, but I felt the added piece would make the card thicker, added thickness is not great for Fun Fold cards.  A rooster is added to the card front with one of the stamp set sentiments.  I also added a fence, cut from Crumb Cake card stock.  I popped Neutral Adhesive Backed Sequins on the card.

Open the card up and you will see another rooster. This one is holding a birthday cake and wishing Happy Birthday.  The sentiment at the top is stamped in Early Espresso ink on a Basic White  card stock scrap and matted on a scrap of Copper Clay card stock.  It is adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  The three Happy Birthdays are die cut using a long retired die from Stampin’ Up! Hey Birthday Chick stamp set & Dies.  Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck is a great addition to the two other sets with chicks.  You can see the dies used to create this section of the card.  Again, Neutral Adhesive Backed Sequins are popped around the card.

A Basic White envelope flap gets embossed using Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  This will match the embossing on the card.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!
