Fun Fold Easel Card & Lola's Birthday!

 Fun Fold Easel Card

I love making easy fun folds and this one is very easy! I used the gorgeous Floral Delight Designer Series Paper again, it is just so pretty!!

Directions: 

Start with a piece of Pool Party Card Stock cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score it at 4 1/4".

Open up the card, place it in your Stampin' Up! Trimmer and cut on the long side at 1 3/8" up to the score line, repeat of the other side. * See photo.

   

                                                                   𑁋𑁋𑁋 Score   ⎯⎯⎯ Cut                                                                     

On the middle section only, score at 2 1/8". Mountain fold it.

Attach a 3" x 4 1/8" piece of Basic White C/S to the inside then glue down both of the flaps.

Attach a 1 1/4" x 4 1/8" piece of the Floral Delight DSP to each flap.

Cut a 2 1/2" x 4" piece of Basic White C/S (I used a Radiating Stitches Die for mine).

Stamp a Pool Party Ink heart onto this layer using the Free Sale-A-Bration set "Heart Shaped".

Using the Free Heart Shaped Dies, die cut a Daffodil Delight C/S heart and attach it over top of the stamped heart.

Attach this layer to the middle pop up adding glue to only on the bottom section.

Die cut 2 Pool Party C/S hearts, 1 Daffodil Delight Heart and 4 Soft Sea Foam leaves, all from the Heart Shaped Die Set.

Die cut a Basic White label and stamp "thank you" in Pecan Pie Ink. Attach to the card over top of the heart.

Attach the flowers using Dimensionals and 2 of the leaves using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Stamp the trio of flowers in Pool Party Ink and die cut. Attach them using Dimensionals to the inside of the card about 2/3 of the way down, this acts as the stopper for the middle portion of the card so it will stand up. Attach the 2 remaining leaves using glue.

I also coloured all my flowers with some Wink Of Stella. Add some Rhinestone Gems to finish it off!

The card folds flat for mailing!

I hope you have enjoyed todays card and I hope I have inspired you to try this fun fold!

Here is my card.

The card is a regular A2 card, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4". 

I added a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Pool Party Card Stock that was embossed with the StarStruck Embossing Folder. You can earn this embossing folder for FREE during Sale-A-Bration 2025!

Cut a 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" piece of Basic White C/C and stamp the branch in Pecan Pie the flowers in Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly and leaves in Old Olive. Then tear off about a 1/2". 

Attach this layer to the Pool Party layer. I also splattered it with Wink Of Stella.

Stamp "wishing" in Pool Party onto Basic White C/S and Die cut. Attach to the card.

Stamp and die cut the sentiment using Pecan Pie Ink. Attach with Dimensionals. 

Add a small Daffodil Delight bow and a Bumblebee Trinket. 

Isn't this such a happy card!

For the inside I stamped the flower again and I added a thin strip of the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper with a small strip of Pecan Pie Card Stock behind it. 

Finding time in my craft room is always so rewarding! I hope you find some time to play and create too!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
