Yesterday’s FB Live was centered around a swap card I received on the Disney incentive trip back in May. I’m not a huge fan of the turtles DSP, BUT I did like the cute card crafted by Rosemarie Coleman from Canada! Her card is found in the picture above on the far left. Of course, being a person who loves lots of layers and mats, I had to revamp it. The kiwi card above is one I used for the Fruit Basket Upside Down pop up class, but I didn’t stop there!
Nope, I had to use the fun fold on a couple of Christmas cards as well! The card on the right is one for next week’s Christmas Card Class, and the one on the left I demonstrated yesterday on FB. I had a super busy day yesterday and didn’t have lots of time to prepare and prep for my Live, so I quickly grabbed the new North Pole Delivery Suite to make life easier. This suite will be available when the Holiday mini catalog goes live in September, and you will find that Stampin’ Up included two 12×12 sheets full of images that can be quickly added to a card for embellishment.
I simply stamped the greeting and sentiment in Garden Green, then adhered pieces to the card front with dimensionals. The Everyday Arches label was a diecut left over from a previous class, so it was easy to grab everything and share online.

Final Thoughts….
I didn’t know the name – if it even had one! – for this easy fun fold, so I was encouraging my crafty friends to give me some ideas. I had several reach out with possible ideas afterwards. My friend Linda thought it even needed to include the turtles in the title so those turtle images would forever be immortalized!!!!
Got to say that our friend Lynn had me laughing with the name “Side Car” Fun Fold in honor of an image of a motorcycle combo. I used the boring “Offset Vertical Flap Fun Fold” title on the PDF but gave credit to Lynn for her catchy title as well.
Pool Boy and I are off to pick up the last round of peaches, then we will be home working them up tonight. Pretty sure after typing this post the rest of the day is a wash craft-wise, but that’s ok. Spending windshield time with Pool Boy, having lunch with friends, then working up the produce together sounds pretty good to me, don’t you think? It’s the little things that bring joy.
I’ll be back tomorrow to talk acorns and strawberries and how they have something in common. Until then, have a great day and keep stamping, keep crafting, and God Bless!!!
