It’s been cold here in North Georgia and while I don’t like the snow and ice to stick around long the lows at night haven’t been above freezing, so it’s still sticking around in the higher elevations and in shady spots. While it’s cold like this it makes me think of our blueberry bushes. Odd, right? But I know that the chilling hours we get now will help give me a bumper crop come June and I’ve loved picking blueberries and of course using them in all kinds of things from our bushes since our children were small.
So today’s card shows off those wonderful blueberries I’m anticipating with a fun fold. Open the front panel and you’ll see the beautiful Designer Series Paper inside.
Open the second panel and you’ll have a full panel for writing.
Want to see how I made it? Why not check out this Video Tutorial showing you how I cut this fun fold card and decorated it using the Blueberry Bushel Stamp set Last Chance List (163432) and Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (163775).
And of course here is a PDF with a complete supply list and measurements so you can make one too.

This stamp set is an all occasions set that includes some wonderful sentiments and images. It also coordinates with the NEW To the Point Label Punch (164568) making it a great choice for beginning stampers or quick project making. I loved sets like this when I first started stamping since it took the stress of lining up an image perfectly on my stamped panel. With a punch it’s easy, stamp on a scrap piece, line up the image inside the punch and cut! Who doesn’t love that?
This first card is done in our Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink giving it a softer feel perfect for spring.
