Hello Friend Card Using CTMH So Much Happy Paper, Heart & Home Stamp Set and Cardstock

Hello friends! We have sunshine again in Southern CA.  I hope you are starting to have better weather throughout the US.  It is springtime.  

I have created 4 of these cards so far.  I have looked through my dies and found a lot of different ones that will work with this smaller card.  There are three posts before this one with the same fun fold design and I created a video to demonstrate how to make this card.

I created a video with 3 of these cards and one on the video partially finished.  You can find it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN9QYRZZnn8&t=22s.

I created this card for a very good friend.  I decided to add a poem to all of these Fun Fold cards; because my sister, Alice, writes poetry and writes us a poem whenever she sends a note or a card.  Here is the website that I found for poems.  https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/


Fun Fold Card



Same card.  I just used a different cardstock behind it for the photo.
I am using Sorbet lighter side of cardstock behind my card; so you can see the border easier.  There is so much white on it; that it makes it hard to see.

I glued the fun fold card to a regular 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 sized card base
I decided to use a poem I found on the Internet and left room to write a note on the right side of the poem.

Thinking of You Fun Fold Card Using CTMH Feels Like Home Paper w/Feels Like Home Stamp Set

Hello friends! I hope you are doing well and finding time to craft.  It is such a relief to have some time to create something.  Crafting is a stress reliever for me most of the time; as long as I am not on a deadline to get something done.  LOL!

I created another Thinking Of You Fun fold card for my other sister, Becky.  This is my 3rd creation with this type of cards.  I really enjoy creating them; especially trying to find other dies for the front of them.  

I found this posted somewhere on Pinterest I think.  This version was created by Gaynor Boyce.  Click on her name to pull up her blog post and the link for her video.  I made mine with different measurements; so that I could use a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch sized envelope and card.  I like this size.  

I created a video to share with you how I created this special fold card.  You can find this video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN9QYRZZnn8&t=22s.
