Welcome to the April Funky Folds Blog Hop. We are a group of like-minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky folds. Funky actually means "modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way"... so we are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait or landscape style. Think 'easel', 'pop-up', 'gatefold', 'z-fold', 'shaped' or 3D cards etc. The list is endless.
All Blog Hops have an 'anything goes' theme using any type of 'funky' card fold. This month I've made Double Pop-Up Adapted Easel Card featuring the Country Flowers bundle (available from May 1 in new 2024-25 Annual Catalogue). This is a card fold that I designed a few years ago. It is the perfect sort of card to build up a scene, and better yet, it folds flat to fit into a standard envelope.
The Country Flowers bundle has lots of fun elements that work perfectly for this funky fold. And did you spy the paper? It also from the upcoming catalogue - Country Woods Designer Series Paper.
And, of course, I couldn't resist colouring my images using the 5 new In Colors for 2024-26. Such pretty colours. So many amazing new products to look forward to next month!
As soon as I saw the County Flowers bundle I thought of this card fold. There is a message panel inside which I have just realised that I forgot to photograph for you. Oopsie! You can see the original and other versions of this card fold that I have made here. You can purchase the original tutorial from this page - just simply choose 'Double Pop-Up Adapted Easel Card' from drop down list and complete payment. You never know, you might also see some other funky fold tutorials there to catch your eye!
Next up you are off to see an amazing funky fold from my fab friend Andrea Sargent. I know she will have something amazing to share with you.
If you love to make cards with creative folds and would like to join in with our monthly Funky Folds Blog Hop, you are welcome to head on over to our community group on Facebook to be part of the fun. You will find it here.

Lou
