One Sheet Wonder Stampin’ Up! Double Pocket Fun Fold Card Making

I LOVE using up my scrap paper and this fun fold handmade card comes together to easily create a wow hand stamped card!  Easy to create, our double sided Designer Series Paper, like this FREE* Softly Stippled collection, delivers a ton of options to use when creating!  With a double pocket fancy fold card, you can tuck away a gift card (see the secret way to hold the gift card in the video tutorial below) and it makes for many areas to write or gift all wrapped up in the hug of a hand crafted card!

This is a stylish and easy way to create a memorable hand stamped card.
LAYERS of fun!  Picking a side is so challenging BUT this allows for BOTH sides to be featured!!

Recipe:
~  Taking this FREE* Most Adored Designer Series Paper.. 12"x5-1/2"
~  Score it at 1-3/4", 4=3/4" and 7-3/4" on the 12" side.
~  Fold into a V with the busier side, like this Plaid, showing on the front in the smaller first fold.
~  Adhesive between the 4-3/4" and 7-3/4" V center.
~  Stamp in the Flirty Flamingo and Real Red on the Basic White card stock 2-1/4"x3-3/4" (3 of them).  Leave the last piece for writing and I like to stamp it less or not at all.
~  EMBOSS with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine the Real Red card stock at 2-3/4"x4-1/4" (3 of them).
~ Adhere the White with Stampin' Dimensionals to the Real Red embossed pieces.
~  Using Tear Tape to adhere these to the folds, layering so they 'hide' behind each other.

Spice It Up:
~  Add our Red Rhinestones with the Take Your Pick Tool.
~  Using the strip of Designer Series Paper that was left over can make a great belly band also!

I love the layers of surprise and beautiful gold foil accents of this paper!
I encourage you, if you can, to adhere this last piece of Basic White AFTER you write on it - this is going over Stampin' Dimensionals and an embossed card stock and can make writing challenging.

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
