Hello my crafty friends and welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog. I had stumbled on this type of card on Pinterest and wanted to check it out. Of course, it's by the talented Sam Calcott of Mixed Up Craft and I will link her tutorial at the end of my post. I like that it is a 5 x 7" size, it's a Gatefold (which is more interesting than a plain card front), and has this surprise pop up inside. Above is how the card would look as it came out of the envelope with a belly band holding it closed.
Below you can see I have slid off the belly band and you get a peek at what's inside. If you follow me, you know I rarely post things in the same order I make them. When I saw Sam's video I immediately made a Valentine card. I was happy with it and eager to make another one - thus the New Years card I'm sharing today. I'll be sharing the Valentine's Card next month in the first of a series of New Fun Fold cards I'll be doing.
Everything I used is from my stash - something I'll be doing a lot of in the coming year. I have lots of fabulous items in my craft room that I don't feel I have used enough - like this champagne bottle die - so I will be concentrating on doing that in 2023.
You can find Sam's beautiful cards and her tutorial HERE.
