I love these little smash cards. It's a great fun fold card idea that is perfect for showing off patterned paper. We made them last night for Mystery Stamping and had a great time! If you haven't joined the Facebook Group and done Mystery Stamping, I hope you'll join us soon! We do Mystery Stamping every Tuesday night at 8:00 PM eastern except for the last Tuesday night of the month when we have a card class and game night. Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.
9. Adhere the piece of 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” patterned paper to the upper left square of the piece of 8” x 8” cardstock. This should be on the inside as well. 10. Adhere the piece of 3 ¾” x 3 ¾” white or vanilla cardstock to the lower right square area. 11. Fold your 8” x 8” cardstock back into a 4” x 4” square so that the patterned paper is hidden on the inside. 12. Adhere one of the 4 ¼” x 4 ¼” pieces of cardstock to the front/top. 13. Adhere the piece of 4” x 4” patterned paper to the card front/top. 14. Adhere a piece of ribbon to the bottom of your piece of folded cardstock so that you will be able to wrap it around to the front of your card and tie it on one side. 15. Adhere the second piece of 4 ¼” x 4 ¼” cardstock to the bottom of the folded cardstock, over top of the ribbon. 16. Stamp a design, sentiment, or both on the piece of 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” white or vanilla cardstock. Color if needed. 17. Adhere the piece of 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” white or vanilla cardstock to the piece of 3” x 3” cardstock. 18. Adhere this to your card front/top and tie the ribbon. 19. Embellish as desired!

The "Hello" card is layered on Flirty Flamingo cardstock and then on a Rich Razzleberry card base. The spots are stamped in Flirty Flamingo, Magenta Madness, and Rich Razzleberry inks.
Celebrate Sunflowers Card DesignMy first sample uses the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. I stamped the smaller sunflowers with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I layered the images on some Plaid Tidings patterned paper, which is 15% off for the month of October. For the greeting, I only inked the word "Thanks" to make it shorter.
Masking is the perfect card making technique for creating scenes and it works fantastically with the Coming Home stamp set from the 2020 August-December Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up! I love the way this card has a neighborhood of black and white houses with the focal point colored. It would be a great housewarming card! So on y go! Let's get stamping.
I colored the house with Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. For the greeting, I used the Well Written dies and Well Said stamp set. I love how these coordinating dies and stamps work together to create dynamic greetings!
This fun fold card making idea features a pleated card front that adds a touch of elegant whimsy. This quick card design is easy once you have the right measurements. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
Finishing the Drapery Fold Card DesignAdhere the folded piece of patterned paper on the piece of 5 ¼” x 4” cardstock so that the folded even edge is approximately ¾” from the top of the piece of 5 ¼” x 4” cardstock. Stamp a greeting on the strip of Whisper White or Very Vanilla cardstock and adhere this to the card front so that it slightly overlaps the patterned paper. Tie a ribbon around the front and adhere to your card base. While there seems to be a lot of steps, this card is actually quite easy. And it's a fabulous way to show off that gorgeous patterned paper you've been hoarding!
