Acorns Craft & Chat Fun Fold with the Merriest Moments Bundle

Monday mornings usually start with an Acorns Craft & Chat. We spend a couple of hours together on Zoom making a card. I try to make it a fun fold but sometimes we try a sketch or colour challenge. This week we had a Floating card to make.

For my card I chose to use the Merriest Moments Bundle and the Painted Christmas 12″ x 12″ paper. Both of these are returning favourites from the 2021 July – December Catalogue.

The finished card looks like a square gate-fold card. The fun is inside.

The square panels pop out when you open the card, and then lie flat when the card is closed. The panel on the front was created using the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder (dies and embossing folder). This comes as part of the bundle along with the Merriest Moments stamp set.

I’ve found that the trick is to die-cut using the large outline die, and then place the die-cut in the embossing folder and emboss it. The detail from the embossing folder is fabulous and I love that the rectangular centre piece is left plain. You can then add a stamped sentiment which can be die-cut using the stitched rectangle that comes as part of the same die set.
