Impress your mother with this beautiful Mother's Day fun fold card

Hello fellow crafters! Mother's Day is just around the corner so today I have a beautiful Mother's Day fun fold card idea, using the brand new Sending Smiles bundle and my Stitched Rectangles dies. I'd love to show you this fun fold idea.

 

 

The Sending Smiles bundle will be available for you to order next month (3 May!) when the new Annual Catalog goes live. Stampin' Up! demonstrators can pre-order from upcoming catalogs a month in advance so we have time to create sample ideas to share with you. I chose this bundle because it is a stamp and go set - all images are solid so they don't require time to color in. The phrases make this an all occasion set - a great value for my dollar. And I also really liked the layered Sending dies - you will see one of these dies on today's card. (you can see the dies on my video below)

And here is the card open, so you can see how the fun fold looks. I show you how to create this card in my video below!

Hi Bronna, I am so glad you asked. All you do is use the Stitched Rectangles dies to die-cut out the rectangle. Easy peasy! Let me know if you have other questions. I am happy to help.

I have a question. On the base card I am seeing a scores? Do I use the die to cut the rectangle or do I score? Thank you. Sorry I am not understanding the instructions.

Yay Joanne - you won't regret that purchase! Have fun with that fold.
