Hot Air Balloons - Simple Fun Fold Card

 Hello! How are you tonight? I have quite a bit of 6X6 designer series paper (DSP) and when I saw Karen Titus' video on how to use a 6X6 DSP to make a super easy fun fold card, I had to try it with the Hot Air Balloon suite.  This is in the 2024 Jan to April Mini and it is GORGEOUS!  Which card do you prefer?




Same design, same products, just a different colour combination.  There are so many colours you could choose based on the gorgeous DSP.

To make this card, simply pick a coordinating cardstock and cut it to 5 1/2 by 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4.

Then take a piece of DSP, cut 3/4 off the bottom.  Cut a piece at 4 X 5 1/4 and then two pieces at 1 X 5 1/4 . Using these pieces, with the card stock and a piece of basic white measuring 51/4 X 4, glue your card together (watch the video to see how simple this is).

Embellish with die cuts or stamps and VOILA you are done!

The inside is very simple


A complete list of supplies to make this card are provided below.  Also make sure you watch my video to see how easy it is.

I am offering a card class to go featuring this stamp set.  Registration closes very soon.  Check it out here


I hope you enjoyed this super easy card!  Thanks for joining me.  Have an amazing day.

 I have just loved playing with this designer series paper that is FREE with a $60 order.  This card is so easy to make and I think it is pretty elegant.  The flowers are cut from the designer series paper and if you don't have markers, you could just leave it monochrome or use a sponge or dauber.  So easy.  Which color do you prefer?



Want to learn how to get this paper for free!!! It is simple, place a $60 order with me before tax and shipping and you can choose this paper as your Sale a Bration item for free!!!!!  It is GORGEOUS!

Have a great night
