BOOK-BINDING FUN FOLD FOR ESAD MINI CATALOGUE AND SALE-A-BRATION BLOGHOP!

We have welcomed in the 2025 Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration. It’s an exciting time with lots of great new products. Today I’m joining in with the ESAD Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop. Thanks for joining in with us.

Firstly, what is ESAD?

For our project today I have used the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper available as a bonus choice for Sale-A-Bration and created a Book-Binding Fold Card. They are so easy to make and the paper makes it so fun!

The sentiment is from the Bright Borders Stamp Set from the Mini Catalogue and punched out with the To The Point Label Punch.

I created another version of this card and will show that to you in my next post and share more details on how to make them. So be sure to check back.

Now you can head off to Odette’s Blog -> HERE which is the next Blog in the Hop and they will share some more amazing creations. (Or click on the arrow below).

Enjoy your Hop,

Jenny

MERRIEST TREES FOR WEEK 2 OF 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS

Week 2 for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series is half front with the Merriest Trees stamps and dies.

Here’s our card.

This is the inside.

If you don’t have the Merriest Trees another trees stamp would work just as easily I am sure.

Catch the video below. (If it doesn’t show in the email mail out please head directly to my blog to view it there).

You can PIN it now on Pinterest to come back to.

FRONT FLAP CARD WITH A SURPRISE + VIDEO!

Today’s card is a cool Fun Fold. It is a Front Flap Card. It has an added flap that you could add a surprise inside.

This card was shared to me by a Demonstrator friend Linny. I loved the card and wanted to share it with you.

Here is the card.

Lift up the Flap.

Open the card.

Under the flap would be a great to add a Numbered birthday perhaps or even add a pocked for a Gift Card.

I have a video for you to follow along.

I used the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Paper. Also the Golden Greenery Stamp Set and the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set. It makes a special Christmas card to send. This could be used for so many different occasions though.

I share another one version at the end of the video so be sure to check out that one.

Follow along and I hope you get to make one.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

FRONT PANEL GATEFOLD CARD + VIDEO!

I love Fun Folds. I have a cool Fun Fold card for you today AND a video to help you create it.

It’s a Front Panel Gatefold Card.

You have the Front of the card. Just like any regular looking card really. I have used the Stippled Roses Stamp Set for this one.

But lift the front and you have a Gatefold. It gives a little extra WOW! to the card. For this one I have used the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper on the side panels.

Then open the 2 flaps and you have the inside. With a little stamping and a strip of the paper it adds to the specialness.

What do you think?

You can follow along with the Video to make your own.

The measurements are included in the video. Stop or pause or rewind. If you prefer the written version I’m sending that out in my newsletter next week.

MAKE A QUICK AND EASY CONCERTINA FOLD CARD + VIDEO!

I love doing Fun Folds. I made this one some weeks ago but only now getting it out to you. This is a Concertina Fold Card. Have you made one before?

They are very easy to make once you know the scoring. This is the Concertina card. It’s a great way to use your pretty paper and to show off the both sides of it. I used the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper with it.

Here is the card.

Do you want to make one? The video is below and I have the measurements further below.

A Quick and Easy Concertina Card

CREATE YOUR OWN CONCERTINA CARD

Cut your paper to 14.4cm x 29.8cm 5 1/4″ x 11 3/4″

Score the paper at 4.4cm, 12.1cm, 19.7cm 1 3/4″, 4 3/4″, 7 3/4″

Card Mat: 10.5cm x 14.8cm 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″

Fold your paper on the score lines. It’s that easy. The narrow piece folds back over itself on the paper so you see the reverse side. Watch the video if you are not sure.

STAMPIN’ UP! FLIGHT AND AIRY PAPER CARD!

Create a card – with your paper. After all it’s such pretty paper.

For this I have used the Flight and Airy Paper.

I fussy cut one of the birds from the paper pack to add to the front with a sentiment layered on vellum and some ribbon.

This is the inside.

Cut a strip of your lovely paper twice the size as you would cut a card mat for the card. So just slightly smaller than your card base. Score a line down the middle and adhere the back to the card mat.

I have added a card mat as a base to make it sturdier but you could use it just with the paper as a card. 

Don’t forget to decorate the inside too.

This is such pretty paper. Really it is a must have!

This paper is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90 AUD.

PERENNIAL LAVENDER PAPER CARD!

I shared a card with using the pretty papers last post. Just by adding a strip.

I have another for you this time using the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. It is SO pretty. Why hide it!

I share how to create one in the last post so jump back. But it is basically a strip of paper just slightly smaller that your card mat base but double the width. Then score down the middle. 

Don’t forget to decorate the inside too.

COLOURED SIMPLE STIPPLED ROSES!

I shared a simple card recently with the Simple Stippled Roses stamps with no colouring on it. I ventured in to colouring with this card. 

I don’t colour a lot. I have to say these flowers took a LONG time to colour. Longer than I probably should have. I just wanted to get them right. Still not sure but in the end I left it as it is.

I wanted to have them overhang the edge of the card so I cut off half of the front of the card. The paper on the front is the Perennial Lavender Paper.

You can see how they overhang on the inside. I stamped on the white card mat too. Unfortunately you can see the colouring on the back of the roses. I didn’t really think about that at the time.

This is the card laying flat so you can see it. (The lighting was a little different with this one apologies for that).

The Stippled Roses Stamps and Dies are available in the Mini Catalogue.

You can see them more in my store -> HERE.
