Simple Fun Fold Card

Today I’m sharing a Simple Fun Fold Card using the Filled with Sweetness Bundle from Stampin’ Up! This bundle and the coordinating Homemade Sweetness Designer Series Paper are absolutely perfect for creating cards to go along with homemade gifts like jams, baked goods, or any handmade treat. It’s such a sweet way to add a personal touch to your gift giving.

What I love about this fold you can use it with any stamp set, paper, or bundle you already have. Just change the paper and sentiment and you have a completely different look for any occasion—birthdays, thank you cards, thinking of you, or even holidays.

Project Dimensions:
  • Standard Card Base in Blueberry Bushell 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
  • Pop Up Panel in Blueberry Bushell 3″ x 8 1/2″ Scored at 1″, 2″, 3″, 4″
  • (2) DSP Panels 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Basic White Panel for inside 2 3/4″ x 3 1/4″
  • DSP Strip for top of fun fold 7/8″ x 2 7/8″
  • Blends Used: Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushell, Strawberry Slush, and Shaded Spruce.

 

One thing that I love about the dies, is that it comes with a fun cut out that looks like Twine and a Bow, but I would highly recommend using the Self Adhesive Sheets when cutting them out due to how thin the die cuts are.

 

 

In the video, I thought it would be fun to use the Basic White Twine to create my own bow.

 

 

I hope that you enjoyed this fun fold and give it a try.  Thank you for stopping by and I will see you next time for more creative fun

This project features the stunning Scalloped Bloom Bundle paired with the coordinating Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper. Both are sneak peeks from the upcoming May–August Stampin’ Up! Catalog. The soft, elegant patterns in the paper combined with the playful layering of the scalloped circle dies create such a timeless and sophisticated look. These products are sure to become fast favorites, and I can’t wait for you to get your hands on them when they become available on May 5, 2026 in my online store!.

 

In the sample below I am featuring one of the brand new 2026-2028 In-Colors – Peaceful Pine.
