Today I’ll be sharing a Spanner Card with you. It’s a fun fold that is pretty easy to create but has a big wow factor. And since I’m using the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (163303) which is a lovely landscape paper it’s perfect for this type of card since it shows off the paper so well.
Love this paper? I know I do with it’s soft watercolor look. Want to see how I created this card? Here is a video tutorial for you today.
And of course, you’ll need the measurements, my supply list, and step by step directions with the You tube Link so everything is in one place.
So what do you think? Are you enjoying the “old & new” that I’ve been sharing with you this week? Stop back by tomorrow for a fun Double Gate Fold Card I’ll be sharing with you!
Snowflakes… a weather wonder with their different shapes and sizes as they fall from the sky. I can remember the joy the first snowfall created as a child and later the hope for a snow day with my children and a chance to build a snowman.
This card while shows off snowflakes is a wonderful card to send someone you love.
And the sentiments easily can be used through out the winter and for Valentine’s Day too making it a great choice for your crafting needs.
This card is also a fun fold that is easy to create. The base is your typical 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ that is scored in half. Then you simply cut slits on each side of the card front at the 1″ mark from the edge down to the center score line. Adhere those two flaps to the card base and decorate.

Do you love the fall? The changing colors and cooling nights, along with taking the kids to pick out a pumpkin to carve and hay rides. I know we enjoyed those things when the kids were young. We specially loved to camp in the autumn and sit around the fire enjoying the fellowship of friends and family. So today’s card makes me think of those times and the fun we had together.
This fun fold is simple to create take a 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of card stock and score it at 2″, 3 1/8″, 5 3/8″, and 6 1/2″. Then decorate as desired. A signature panel can be added to the back in the 2 1/4″ section behind the focal point. Why not give it a try?

The summer makes me think of time at the lake as a child. Watching the boats go by and the waves come in. I miss Lake Michigan and the easy drive to beach and the feel of driving down Lake Shore Drive as a teenager with friends in a convertible and the wind blowing my hair. Or the fireworks on the 4th with all those boats out on the water under the bursts of color. So today’s Sunrise Sailing Bundle (Online Exclusive 165497) cards make me think of those carefree days of my youth and those wonderfully elegant boats out on the water.
This Bundle has a wonderful Hybrid Embossing Folder that allows you to add some wonderful texture to images and dies. Check out these two cards made with this bundle.
This first card uses some simple stamping and a bit of color brushed across the embossed image to create a relaxing monochromatic card.
And this next card uses a fun fold called Book Binding. With a simple score line and a bit of adhesive you create this fun card.
Done in Secret Sea, Misty Moonlight and Poppy Parade it has the perfect summertime feel, don’t you think?

This first card uses the Dies to create a fun that flips open using the butterfly die that is designed to do just that!
Making this card so easy, simply line it up on the score line and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss. Done in shades of Balmy Blue and Azure Afternoon it uses some simple stamping and a bit of the Blender Brush to add some color to the embossed card stock.
And this next card is a fun fold called the 3 Vertical Panel Front Card.
The card is created with simple scores and cuts, folds flat for mail, and stands up for display.
Some of the iridescent Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix Embellishments (164618) adds a bit of shine to the project as they catch the light. Fold the butterflies’ wings a bit for a look of butterflies in flight.
