Happy Friday Eve, Peas & grammadee ! I saw some requests for fun folds during CARDtober planning, so for this week I made two fun-fold autumn cards from three sheets of card stock:  This is a card sketch from SU demonstrator Connie Stewart of Simply Simple Stamping. Here is her video and a link to the sketch printable: linkTwist: masked stamping! I hadn't done this for years -- at least a decade. I don't believe I've ever used this technique in a finished project at all. But I didn't have a single image stamp that was the right size and seasonally appropriate, so I used masked stamping to arrange my two pumpkins. |

Your cards are cute, fun, and they look relatively easy to make (my preferred kind of card right now)!

Shakti Thanks for the folding fun!!! (I was one of the requesters of folding fun.) This card was so easy for how cute it is - cut, cut, score, score, stamp, stamp, a little glue and done! The longest part was finding a stamp image that fit in the square and could be masked. The video was very helpful with little tips.

Love the exuberant pink and turquoise/teal color scheme, jjpeapea! Connie posted these originally last fall, iirc, and then reposted this fall, so I've made them twice and always in autumn colors. I need to keep this sketch in mind the rest of the year, clearly. |

Used this for a couple of Christmas cards, Shakti . I used the layered stamping technique for the bears, and then decided to layer some foiling on the inside. Thanks for the examples and the instructions. I really like that the MFT dies cut right next to the stamped outline, so the diecuts make perfect masks for this technique.

I really like this Fun Fold. Although it’s easy to do, just like the demonstrator, I made a mistake. It’s not a huge one, and I don’t have time to do them over, but I probably will make this card again sometime. One of the cards looks wonky in the photo, but it isn’t as bad as the photo looks. I also forgot to add my print & cut design to the top card, so I’ll have to add that later, too. We had a special family event this weekend, so now I am playing catch up, and when card making in a hurry, mistakes are made. Here are my cards:   |

Lovely harvest season cards in a lovely fall palette, scrapnnana! I also need to remember to use this sketch more than once a year! |

I am particularly fond of the big Noel, but both are beautiful, justjac. |
