Hello, Crafters.
Today’s card is a combination of two cards I found on You Tube that I liked. I decided to add the ideas together to create one card! I’m so pleased how it turned out, not least because today’s video is a two-in-one! You can choose to make a fancy fold card or a fancy fold card that is also a surprise pop up gift card holder as well!
When I first saw the gift card holder it was inside a single fold card but I didn’t think it looked very secure. I carried on looking for a fancy fold card for today’s video and found Linda Bauwin’s Double Flap Opening Card. I case’d the card by changing only the measurements to suit A4 cardstock. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the Limited Edition Ever Eden.
It has gold foiling through the designs on one side of each sheet which makes it a Speciality DSP. The DSP did most of the work for this card except for the die-cut sentiment layer and the die-cut trim I added inside the card. The two dies are from the Eden Dies which matches the Eden’s Garden Stamp Set. These two items are on pre-release from the forthcoming Spring/Summer Mini Catalogue which goes live on 4th January 2022.
Unfortunately the DSP is only available until 3rd January 2022 while stocks last. Also available as a Limited Edition is a pack of ten sheets of 12″ x 12″ Cotton Paper i.e. 5 sheets in Evening Evergreen and 5 sheets in Soft Succulent. I have two Paper Shares left for anyone who’s interested in buying a quarter of a pack of both papers. The cost is £5.50 post paid in the UK only.
The products I used for the Happy Birthday card are Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen A4 Cardstock and 12″ x 12″ Ever Eden DSP. I stamped the belly band with the small leafy stamp with spots between some of the leaves. The belly band is in Soft Succulent Cardstock (CS) and I used Soft Succulent ink for a tone on tone look. I chose the HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment from the Sweet as a Peach Stamp Set, and stamped it on Basic White CS using Evening Evergreen Ink.
To create the Polished Pink Christmas Card I used Polished Pink and Mossy Meadow CS together with some Whimsy & Wonder DSP. I stamped tone on tone on the belly band using the holly stamp from the matching Whimsical Trees Stamp Set, The MERRY CHRISTMAS sentiment was stamped on Basic White CS using Mossy Meadow ink. All other details to create this card are in today’s video. Below is the template you cam make to punch the holes for the handles.

Genius! Can’t wait to get started. This lesson came just as I wondering how to present this year’s gift cards. You are meticulous in your work inspiring me to take my time for best results. Thank you always! You deserve all your rewards for the inspiration to BUY MORE tools and product!
Many thanks, Billie. I was thrilled how this project turned out! I will certainly be making Linda’s card as a standalone because I love how it makes the DSP do the work! This design and SU’s selection of amazing DSP go together so well! xx
