Thinking Of You Fun Fold Card Using CTMH Heart & Home Stamp with I Heart Us Paper

Hello friends! It has been raining again in Southern CA; but right now is sunny with clouds.  We have had more rain this year than the entire 20 yrs. I have lived here.  I really feel bad for all those areas with flooding.  This weather is downright scary the past few years.  

I found this fun fold card posted somewhere on Pinterest I think.  The video I watched 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; and also glued it to a card base; so that it would stand up.  I like this size.  

I have been creating several of these awesome cards.  I created another one of these fun fold cards for my sister Alice.   I absolutely fell in love with it.  LOL!  I have had fun trying to figure out different dies to use with it.  I have used a variety of dies for the 3 cards I have created like this, so far.  The post before this one had my first fun fold card. This is the second one and I have two more to post.  I created a video; which means I have to finish one more card that I used on my video.  LOL!

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.

Friend/Thank You Card Using CTMH Budding Peony Stamp set

Hello friends!  I hope everyone is doing well.  It has been very windy and warm here the past few days.  At least the rain seems to have stopped for now.  

Here is another card I created during the night when I was supposed to be sleeping.  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 used different measurements than Gaynor did; as I wanted it to fit in a A2 sized envelope.  I also wanted it to stand up; so I added the card to a regular A2 sized card base.  You have to open it further or it falls over from the weight of the front.  I also added an extra layer of the black cardstock to the back of the card; trying to give it more support.  LOL!  I thought I could write a note in that section.  See photos below of what I have created.

I created a video demonstrating this card and 3 others.  You can find it here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN9QYRZZnn8&t=22s
