Balloon Festoon Fun Fold Easel Card for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

  Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is Fun Fold cards.

I have created my all time favourite and go to fun fold - an Easel Card! The twist with this card is that I have created the card base from the largest balloon die in Balloon Festoon, a new die set from the 2026 Annual Catalogue.

It might look crooked but thats intentional. The easel wouldn't work very well if I attempted to stand it upright, so I angled the balloon. 

Here's the challenge picture

Lets take a closer look at this card.

To decorate this card I used the next balloon size from the Die set to cut an inside and outside panel. The front uses the new Velvet Meadow DSP, along with birds from Cutest Crew Bundle and the greeting from Balloon Festoon.

I never forget the inside!

If you're on the fence about purchasing the Cutest Crew Bundle GET IT, its so adorable, you won;t regret it. 

If you're thinking of making this fun fold, heres a tip, use the grid lines on your Stampin Trimmer to make sure your card is straight for the easel score line (see 6.5cm grid line and how I aligned the centre fold on that line)

Hobby Haven - The last of the preprinted die cuts

 Today I'm sharing  the last of the pre printed die cuts from Hobby Haven! I so enjoyed this DSP pack.

I like the colourfulness and mix of items on it

A little banner to finish the inside and we're done!

Corner to Corner Layout Cards with Hobby Haven DSP

Today I'm sharing some new scrappy cards I have been playing with. I'm making 'room' for all the new goodies coming soon, especially new DSP papers so this has been a great way to use up the last remaining pieces of DSP I have for these suites.

I have made these "Hour Glass" cards using also the last of the pre printed due cuts

These were my favourite die cuts, all the plants look so pretty 

How about a card perfect for any Baker or someone who likes to cook

I lied, it is FANCY!

My mum is going to love this card! She is an avid sewer, shes a fabulous quilter

Lets pamper ourselves

I had used all the pre de cuts so I hand cut the images frim the DSP

Tic Tac Toe with Mossy Meadow Squares for Lets Craft Together Blog Hop

 Welcome back to another Let's Craft Together Blog Hop! This months theme is a Tic Tac Toe.

I have created a simple card using lots of 1" squares, cut from cardstock and DSP.

Here's the challenge picture

I choose to use the far right column. Dry embossing with Sunflowers, using Mossy Meadow cardstock and Mossy Meadow DSP from BOHO vibes.

It took a bit of time to line up all the squares so that it was even and straight. Looks pretty good I reackon.

Scrappy strips of Hobby Haven

You guessed it! I must admit I went a little nuts with this design, but its such a fun technique I had to keep going. I'm so sad to see Hobby Haven DSP going, its been one of my favourites to play with. I have made a tonne more scrappy cards! I love them all, these will soon be out in the post to family and friends all over.

Who doesn't love a pot plant card?

How about books?

I know someone (Mum) who will love this sewing card
