Anything Goes Saturday with a Quick & Easy Fun Fold
G’Day Friends,
Once again I’m sharing the card created for our Anything Goes Saturday. Be sure to check out Robbie’s project she created by clicking on the link.
I decided to try & do a quick & easy Fun Fold but as usual my projects turn into a mountain & quickly become “bigger than Ben-Hur” lol.
I pulled out an oldie, but a good long retired Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! & teamed it up with papers from Craft Consortium. I think they work perfectly together, don’t you?
Supplies –
- Enjoy the Moment – Stampin’ Up!
- Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
- Early Espresso Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!
- Early Espresso Ink – Stampin’ Up!
Want to see how this easy Fun Fold card came together? Check out the full project on my YouTube Channel by clicking on the image below!
Until next time, have a crafty day!

Whimsical Spring Digital Kit by Lavender Blu
G’Day Friends,
Have you seen the fun, bold & bright Whimsical Spring Digital Kit from Lavender Blu Digitals? Be sure to pop over to Fiona’s Esty Shop to check it & other kits you may want to purchase.
The designs & colours of purples, blues, oranges, purples, pinks, etc in this kit are gorgeous. They are out of my comfort zone but the patterns & colours just appealed to me so much.
I went for something a little different today & stuck to the 1 piece of the paper to create my card.
- Place 4 different sizes of Stitched Rectangle Dies onto a piece of Pattern Paper so that they fit into each other & are even around all sides. This will give you your “frames”
- Adhere all pieces to Basic White Smooth Cardstock
- Adhere the larger rectangle direct to the Base Card
- Apply Dimensional Tape to the 2nd rectangle prior to adhereing back in place matching the pattern correctly
- Apply 2 layers of Dimensional Tape to the last rectangle prior to adhering back in place matching the pattern correctly
Supplies
- Whimsical Spring Digital Kit – Lavender Blu Journals
- Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
- Berry Burst Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!

Easy DIY Christmas Card Using Enchanting Chrismas Collection
G’Day Friends,
Creating Christmas cards are the perfect time to slow down and share a bit of handmade joy. If you’re looking for a simple yet stunning way to spread cheer this season, creating your own Christmas cards is a wonderful place to start. And the secret ingredient? Enchanting Christmas Collection!
This is also the Collection Robbie & I will be using for our Christmas in July Super Saturday.
Throughout June, we’re sharing lots of easy & quick projects on our blogs, YouTube channels & even more ideas & inspiration in our Newsletters.
To view robbie’s project for today, click HERE.
How to Make It –
- Pick Your Star Paper
Choose 2 sheets of Enchanting Christmas Paper that will set the tone. Maybe it’s a cozy plaid, a snowy village scene, or elegant gold foil stars. - Create a Focal Point
Cut a rectangle or oval from your paper and layer it on your white layer. Use Dimensional Tape if you want to add dimension. - Add Embellishments
Layer on ribbon, add a festive sticker, or glue on some tiny buttons for a charming handmade feel. A mini bow instantly ups the cute factor! - Write or Stamp a Holiday Greeting
“Merry Christmas,” “Warm Wishes,” or even just “Joy” works perfectly. Handwritten messages add a personal touch, but sentiment sheets or stamps make it quick and polished. - Add a Little Sparkle
adding embellishment or a touch of glitter glue around the edges or a dash of metallic pen goes a long way in making your card feel extra special.

Until next time, have a crafty day!
