Thanks for Putting Up With Me! A Fun Fold Card Tutorial

Sometimes the best handmade cards are the ones that make someone smile before they even open the envelope!

This month’s project for Creatively Connected with CardNMum was all about having a little fun with our paper crafting. And what better way to do that than with a card that says, “Thanks for Putting Up With Me!”

I think we all have someone in mind who would appreciate receiving this one!

A Little Texture, A Little Dimension, and a Fun Fold!

For this project, I wanted to combine a few different elements to create a card that was interesting on the outside and just as pretty on the inside.

I love how the different textures work together. The stamped cardstock adds depth, while the layered die-cut details create a fun focal point.

The patterned paper brings in some softer colors and adds interest without overwhelming the design.

And then there’s the fun fold!

I always enjoy making cards that have a little something unexpected when you open them. It’s a great way to make a handmade card feel extra special without needing a ton of complicated supplies.

Watch the Creatively Connected Replay

If you missed this month’s Facebook Live, don’t worry! You can watch the replay below and craft along with me.

During the video, I’ll walk you through creating the card, share some tips along the way, and hopefully inspire you to try something a little different with your own supplies.

Who Would You Send This Card To?

I think this sentiment is what makes the whole card!

We all have those people in our lives who put up with our quirks, our sense of humor, and maybe even our ever-growing craft supplies.

This would be such a fun card to send to a friend, a fellow crafter, or anyone who deserves a little thank-you with a smile.

I’d love to hear who you’d send this one to!
