Funky Fold Friday

I’ve challenged myself to step outside the traditional A2 cards and try making at least one card a week that’s “fancy”. So Friday will now be know as Funky Fold Friday! I even joined a blog hop group on Facebook to help with inspiration! 

I have decided to start off sharing a classic easel card but with my own twist! 

I started off by refreshing my memory on measurements - this hardly chart will come in handy.

I used a custom sentiment for my mom whose birthday is coming up along with some retired products from Stampin’ Up! 

For life of me I can’t remember the name of the DSP but it’s old enough it’s from before I started labelling everything so I wouldn’t forget the names. Yes I am a paper hoarder LOL. The stamp set is Loving Thoughts and I used the Banner blast stamp set and punch to make my banner. I love this set so couldn’t part with it when it retired! 

Now my twist is I added some custom made embellishments to the easel base that act as both the place holder for the easel to lean on but can also have a few essential oils dropped onto the clay to turn the Easel card into a diffuser for the persons desk or mental. The clay embellishments are made with retired Simply Pressed Clay Stampin’ Up! Again yes I am a crafty hoarder - I operated a home based early learning program and the kids loved this stuff so I stocked up when it retired. However you can use any clay and molds to create your embellishments with! 

When I send my aromatherapy cards out I include the following instructions.

I love that these are perfect little “home decor” art work so great to keep on display for a long time! 

Do you have a favourite Funky Fold? 

Happy Stampin’
