It’s a Fairytale/Storybook Time at Sparkles Monthly

Child Friendly, Encouragement, Everyday, Magical/Mythical/Fairytale, Ocassions, Shaped/Interactive Cards

Hello friends and Happy Father’s Day to all of those in the U.S. that celebrate this day!  Our usual is to cook out on the grill and spend time together.  So I hope whatever your plans are, you have a great day!  (I made a card for hubby, but forgot to take a photo…so I’ll share later.)

I’m stopping by today to share that we have a new challenge over at Sparkles Monthly and we have the theme of “Fairytale/Storybook”  this month.  Would love to see your take with this theme on your projects, so I hope you’ll join us.  Here’s what I came up with: 

Since, I had lots of “Winnie the Pooh” on my mind with the baby shower, I thought it would be appropriate to create something using the stash that I already had out and was thinking of when this challenge theme came time to do!  I think most of us grew up with this storybook and know who this is!  And I had purchased some of these items from Echo Park several months ago, so it was great to be using more of it up!

FRONT of CARD:  It doesn’t really look to appealing on the front, but I thought I’d share what I did anyway.  I used a stamp set from Echo Park and stamped the tree (and colored it) with the sentiment on the white panel and die cut it out.  I also used some of the Winnie the Pooh papers and layered behind it.  The green paper was stamped with the sentiment from the stamp set.  I added some matching enamel dots all over it.

Since this is a special Fun Fold design, I needed to help it stay closed, so I tied some twine around the right side of the card.

When you open the card, this is what the inside looks like!  You see the center fold pops out like a book!  So this is called a “Fun Fold Book Card” and the design was cut out with my Cricut machine using the papers and stamps from Echo Park Designs.  This way I knew it would all match up on the design.  I did stamp the Pooh with balloon and the other side with the sentiment and bee were also stamped.  I blended some blue ink around the edges.

I thought this would be such a cute card for a kid!

Thank you so much for stopping in today and I hope you like my fun fold card!  Please stop by the challenge blog to see more inspiration and join in to play!  See you soon!

  12. You melted my heart with this card and Winnie the Pooh. I think I have the same paper and stamp set (or sets-it might be 2 sets). I haven’t used mine yet, but I think you may have inspired me. I should check out the Sparkles challenge. I hope you’re having a super week. I’m off to do some more catching up as I see that embossed card in a post. hugs-Erika

  17. This fun fold book card is such a perfect nod to the storybook theme, Vicki! The way it opens to reveal that darling Winnie the Pooh scene feels like stepping into a childhood memory. The coordinating papers and sweet stamped images work so seamlessly together—your Cricut really helped bring this idea to life beautifully. It’s whimsical, heartwarming, and such a clever interactive design that would brighten any child’s day.
