Stamp & Camp with Mary There's A Card Thursday - April 16, 2020 - Lily Impression Fold Back Card


Today I want to show you a fancy fold or fun fold card.  I call it the fold back card, I think other folks call it other things.  I like to try new folds and new ways to make them look. This is just a great fold and you can use any designer series paper with it and it does not have to be the Lily Impression Designer Series Paper.  Try it with what you have on hand.


This is a great card so let's get to see how to make this card.

Stamp & Camp with Mary #simplestamping - April 15, 2020 - #simplestamping Handmade Impression Note Card


How are you all doing?  Have you been staying home and staying safe?  I thought I was an introvert until I have had very little contact with folks other than Don or Meigan.  I saw the mail person today and from 6 ft away talked to him.  I am sure he thought I was weird. Oh well I got some conversation in.  Also a really good friend called me this morning  I have not heard from her in awhile so it was great hearing from her. This is a great time to renew those friendships that may have slipped away.  Send a card or two to those friends that you need to touch base with.  I guess I will send out a few more Happy Mails today.


Hope you all enjoy today's card.  It uses a Technique that really isn't new but I used again to make some of the great Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper that is now gone.


Let's look at the video to make this great card.

Are your crafting supplies getting low did you know that Stampin' Up! ships via UPS and they are still delivering. Yup right to your door.
I know you may need adhesives, I had to order card stock as I have been going through a bunch of it. I ordered new Stampin' Write Markers as a few have  dried up from use.  What do you need, get that order in before you run out and just think no going out to get it, place order here.
