Today’s sweet project is a DIY fun fold card with two card making techniques: paper piecing and die cutting.
The stars of the card are the adorable images from an exclusive stamp set by Stampin’ Up!, Seasons of Fun.
The set is available to “hosts” of qualifying “workshops.” A “host” can be any shopper who places a “workshop” order of $150 or more. The order earns Host Rewards or shopping dollars, which can be used to purchase exclusive host products. In this case, the adorable 7-piece Seasons of Fun stamp set is only $12.
All the images in the set are special.

Fun Fold Seasons of Fun Card | Featuring Paper Piecing and Die Cutting
All the elements contribute to a stinkin’ cute card. Can you guess the color of the card base? It’s the oh-so-pretty Fresh Freesia, and it has been paired with a snowflake patterned paper in the same color. Recognize it?
Penguin Playmates
Sale-a-Bration Gift with $50 Purchase
It’s Penguin Playmates 12 x 12″ Designer Series Paper offered for FREE during Sale-a-Bration, which ends Sept. 30.
Paper Piecing Technique
Paper Piecing is a fun way to add color, pattern and interest to stamped images. Not only is it a great option for coloring, it also makes use of small paper scraps. Win! Win!
In the Sled Girl card, the coat, scarf and hat have been paper pieced to coordinate Sled Girl’s fashion ensemble with the card background.
Die Cutting Technique
Die Cutting in paper crafting is an awesome alternative to fussy cutting. Instead of manually snipping shapes and images, a metal die with a cutting lip is placed on a piece of paper and passed through a special cutting machine. The pressure created by the machine perfectly cuts the paper to shape. You can cut the shape over and over again in little time.
