It’s a good day for a Blog Hop! This week we are focusing on side fold cards. It’s an easy way to add more interested to a simple card design.
My project for today uses the Under My Umbrella stamp set and Umbrella Builder punch. In the US, spring has just arrived, so I wanted to make a pretty spring card.
This is a very easy fun fold. Basically, you take a half sheet of cardstock 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 5 1/2″ and 6 3/4″. Fold the card on the 5 1/2″ score line, then fold back on the 6 3/4″ score line. Put adhesive on the inside of the small panel between the score lines and seal that part shut. How easy is that?!
For my card, I stamped the umbrella and the rain boots directly onto a piece of DSP from the Ornate Garden Specialty pack. I stamped the umbrella handle directly onto the white stitched square, fussy cut the boots, and popped the boots and umbrella up with dimensionals.
No card is complete without some sort of bling, so I finished this one off with In-Color Enamel Dots.
I hope you enjoyed this project! If so, I’d love for you to comment below!

You’ve chosen such gorgeous paper for the boots and umbrella – it makes the whole card happy. I love it. The way you’ve positioned the umbrella to break out of the squares is perfect. Wish we were coming into Spring in the Southern Hemisphere!
Thanks so much, Ann! I’m happy to be leaving winter behind.
Love the spring-like feel to the card. Beautiful coloring!
Thank you!! I stamped on DSP, and didn’t have to color!
