Fancy Fold Card Want to learn how to make a fabulous looking card in a few simple steps? Fancy Folds Instructions I learned this technique from the book

Fabulous Folds for Card Making*
Design by Lisa Silver

  1. Punch 9 circles.  (mine is a 2″ circle)  I edged each circle with Butterscotch Ink.
  2. Fold each circle into four sections.  (lines on the above picture are to make it easier to view)
  3. Fold in bottom curves to make point at the bottom.  (do this with 8 of the circles)
  4. Flip Circle and fold in sides so folds meet in center.
  5. Arrange petals on remaining circle to make a total of eight petals.

Fancy Fold Card Close Up I added a little gold flower button from Buttons Galore and More. FYI:  If you happen to pick up the book, I’m on pages 148, 160 & 164

Quick and Easy Washi Tape Mother’s Day Card

Leave a comment

Mothers Day is just a few days away.  Your Mom is expecting a special handmade card.

Here’s a Quick and Easy Mother’s Day card that you can make in minutes.

First, I’m assuming like any good paper crafter, you have washi tape on hand.

If not, there’s still time to run out and get some.  (visit your local scrapbook store)

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Using your computer, print your Mother’s Day greeting on a piece of white cardstock.  Make sure it prints approx. half way down the page.
  • Cut the white cardstock 1/4″ smaller than the size you want your card to be.
  • Then tear the washi tape into strips and alternate onto the white cardstock.
  • Adhere it to a cut and folded coordinating colored card that is 1/4″ larger than the white cardstock.

(My finished card is 4 1/2″ x 5″)

Voila!  Now run out and get her a bouquet of fresh flowers from the grocery store and your done.

To my kids:

If you are reading this post, the supplies are on my desk.

Help yourself.

Love, Mom
