Box Fun Fold Card Idea: Pop Up Fun!

For Mystery Stamping last night we made another fun fold card. It was a little tricky to explain in words, but when you see it put together and you have the cutting dimensions, it's easy to put together. If you'd like to join us next week for Mystery Stamping, be sure to join the On Y Go! Stamping Facebook group. For these sample cards, I used the Sending Sunshine, You Are Amazing, and Field of Flowers stamp sets as well as the Artistry Blooms, Playing with Patterns, and Butterfly Bijou patterned papers. All of the supplies are from Stampin' Up! You'll find the cutting dimensions and supply lists below, so on y go! Let's get stamping.

Thinking of You Fun Fold Card

This first box fun fold card uses the Field of Flowers stamp set with the Butterfly Bijou patterned paper. I love the new Butterfly Brilliance collection, but it's always fun to pair patterned paper with other stamp sets. Here, the wild flowers are stamped with Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry and the grasses with Just Jade. The base to this card is Crushed Curry. All of these colors are in the Butterfly Bijou patterned paper.

Sending a Box of Sunshine fun Fold Card

This sunset card design uses the Sending Sunshine stamp set with the Artistry Blooms patterned paper. The sunset was created by stamping the water with Bermuda Bay, the rocks and sentiment with Blackberry Bliss, the sun with Mango Melody, and the clouds with Calypso Coral and Magenta Madness inks. Then, I used a blending brush to add a little Daffodil Delight in the sky and some Sahara Sand and rich Razzleberry at the edge of the water.

Fun Fold Birthday Card Idea

This birthday card follows the same basic design. However, I replaced the piece of 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" Basic White cardstock with a piece of the Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper. I stamped the speech bubble with Crushed Curry ink, but I stamped it on a piece of scrap paper first before stamping it on a piece of Basic White cardstock. Then, I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral to match the cardstock base. I fussy cut the speech bubble and adhered it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
