VC Rocks Fun Fold Blog Hop

Welcome to VC Rocs Fun Fold Blog Hop. 

So you are looking at this snowflake card and wondering where

is the fun fold?

Just open the card and there it is! This is called an explosion card. 

Some refer to it also as a squash fold card. I learned how

to make these a very long time ago. Actually it was one of the 

first folded cards I learned to make back when I got started stamping 

in 2001. Wow! Now that is a blast from the past. 

Stamp set used Snowflake Soiree (retired)

This is the first time I used designer paper inside an explosion card.

I normally used computer paper and just did an all over stamping on it.

The designer paper is much prettier, and quicker! 

Love the black snowflakes on the "This is Christmas" specialty designer paper.

This is a corner fold card. 

Done in Bermuda Bay, white, and black cardstock. 

Stamp set Jar of Love. The string/bow stamp in the set is designed to fit

the larger jar, but it can be masked to fit the smaller jars as I've done on this jar.

Inside view. You can see how the cardstock was cut on the front of 

the card to make the fold. Just click on the photos to get a closer look at the cards.

Last up is a fancy pull out fold card. 

I used a Nice Cuppa, and matching framlits. 

Here is a side view showing the card fully open. 

I made the tea bag tag, and wrapped the string around the inside layer.

I've seen these cards before but the inside fold (part with the lemon and hearts) was

left blank. I just didn't like that broken up look, and thought it flowed better with

white cardstock on all three panels.

Hope you have enjoyed the fun folds.
