I was surprised to see the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper back in stock. It was unavailable last week but it's back now. I featured it in one of my July card kits to go. See it here online. This designer paper is so pretty; it's filled with beautiful scenes and soft prints. It's called a spanner card because of it's unique fold - the horizontal layer spans the card from side to side. I added a few die-cut...

Hi Friends! Last Thursday, I showcased the Seaside Wishes bundle in my Facebook VIP group and on YouTube. It's absolutely stunning! One of my favourite types of cards to make is white on white with a pop of colour, and in this case the silver foil was the pop! It's also a fun fold that I am calling a "Double Spanner" card. I don't remember seeing this fold before, so it just may be a GMO - Glenda Mollet Original fun fold!

This Fun Fold Friday card is a Spanner Panel Card. I got the directions for this card from Splitcoaststampers. It was on the main page and I had to try it.

I created a super cool Spanner Panel fun fold for today's project. This fold creates three layers to the card- so fun!

Today I am sharing one of the beautiful cards we created at my April 2020 Forget Me Not (FMN) class featuring the Timeless Tulips stamp set. Send your warmth and condolences with this beautifully crafted Spanner Panel Three Layer fun fold card.

Hello stamping friends. Thank you for joining me on my blog today. Welcome to Funky Folds Blog Hop #6. We are a community for like minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky/fancy/fun folds and to share our ideas. Funky actually means “modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way”. We are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait of landscape style cards. Each and every month the blog hops will have and 'anything goes' theme as long as your card has some type of 'funky' fold. I've made for you today a Spanner Panel Card. Why it's called that I've got no idea! I'd not seen this type of Fun Fold card before until recently and was keen to give it a go. What I love about it is that this type of card looks difficult to make but in fact it is quite simple. All that is required when cutting your card base is 2 extra cuts and you have your base for a Spanner Panel Card. How you layer or embellish your card is up to you as to whether you want a CAS card or one that is a little Stepped Up. I think I went for the Stepped Up version While the card is closed it looks like a relatively normal, standard card. When you open the card that is where the magic happens. I've used the products from the Unbounded Beauty Suite to create my card today with a Pretty in Pink and Peach Pie colour combo. I've used layers of the Unbounded Beauty DSP with Pretty in Pink and Peach Pie Cardstock for the side and centre panels and then added some layering of stamped inmages, die-cuts, DSP, twine, and embellishments. A fabulous feature of this card is how the front panel opens. A 'bridge' is created to hold the outer panels together. You can use a window sheet for the bridge to make it look like your stamping and embellishments are floating or you can use DSP and cardstock for the bridge. Lift the centre panel of the card to reveal the inside of the card. Here you can add more stamped sentiments and this hidden layer is perfect to add a personalised, hand-written message. Sometimes Funky/Fancy Fold cards are difficult to send through the post, this one will fit into a regular envelope for you to send a special card to a special friend. I do hope you like my Funky Fold that I've shared with you today. I really enjoy making these Funky Folds and creating something a little different to a standard card. Next up on the hop is Tammy Fite with her Funky Fold. I can't wait to see what she has made for us.
