Hi Friends! Here we are, at the last card of this month’s series, which of course, features the new “Hello, Irresistible Collection” from Stampin’ Up!
These beautiful products were recently released on our new “ONLINE EXCLUSIVES”. What this means is they’re only available online (you can reach out to me as well, to order them); these products will never be in our catalogues.
By doing this Stampin’ Up! is able to offer us MORE products, and respond quickly to relevant trends and our crafting needs. Pretty awesome, right? More products will be released throughout the year, some are only available while supplies last and some will be available longer.
FYI: There is no guarantee of what comes back and what goes when items sell out from the Online Exclusives. Therefore, I encourage you to please make sure you order your favourites products as you see them, to avoid disappointment.

I’m excited to share today’s card with you! This is a fun fold, which is new to me. Or perhaps I’ve seen it years ago and just don’t remember it. Either way, this card fold was a WOW to me when my friend (and team member), Laura Sherwood, shared it during our “Serene Stamper Gathering” a couple of weeks ago. Don’t you just love it when we all inspire one another?
This card fold (I don’t even know what it’s called – a three-panel fun fold, maybe?) is mega EASY to make. Simply score a 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of card stock in half, both on the short and long ends, and remove the top right piece (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″). Then you fold the bottom right panel inside and the top panel down.
Imagine all the different ways you could use this fun fold card! Oh my. Housework and meals may have to take a backseat for stamping and creating (oh wait, they already are lol).
Kidding aside, one of the reasons I really love this card fold is because I don’t have to remember any measurements, and this can be a super “WOW” card when you want to impress!
Keep the card simple, without or without die cuts, and with or without layers and embellishments. It’s a great card fold no matter how you use it.
Of course, I couldn’t resist using this card fold with the “Hello, Irresistible Suite”! I hope you enjoy today’s demonstration!
