Hi and welcome to the July 2025 Funky Folds Blog Hop.  The Funky Folds group consists of like minded paper crafters who love to make projects with fun folds. Funky actually means "modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way"... so we are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait or landscape style. Think 'easel', 'pop-up', 'gatefold', 'z-fold', 'shaped' or 3D cards etc. The list is endless ... and it now includes journals, albums etc. All Blog Hops have an 'anything goes' theme using any type of 'funky' fold and today I'm sharing a couple of Tags & Envelopes Folios . I learned how to make this type of folio at a recent craft class taken by LJ's Crafty Corner .  If you love to make cards, journals, albums etc. with creative folds and would like to  participate  in our monthly  Funky Folds Blog Hop , you are welcome to join up through our community group on  Facebook  -  face...

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing my latest Design Team project for Paper Rose Studio, a pop-up card with a 3d baby crib inside. It features the very cute Boho Nursery 6x6 Paper Collection. Card Front All the images were fussy cut from the paper collection and the crib ends were die-cut using the second largest Nesting Arches Metal Dies. I've made quite a few different pop-up baby crib cards over the years with lots of different dies and punches and I love this latest version featuring products from Paper Rose Studio. This card will be winging its way to Canada to celebrate the birth of baby Jax!  If you'd like a  FREE PDF of the tutorial  so you can learn how to make a special, bespoke card like this one, just send me an email at  bronwyneastley.designs@gmail.com  or use the contact form on this blog to request your copy.    SHOP PAPER ROSE PRODUCTS -  https://paperrose.com.au?sca_ref=8078156.smN4aKWBPtM Boho Nursery 6x6 Paper Collecti...

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I have a cute, interactive card to share with you; it's a Camera Box Card with Slider . I designed this type of 3D card a few years ago for my daughter's birthday and thought it would be fun to make it again using some gorgeous products from Paper Rose Studio . My first Design Team Assignment for June was to highlight the Vintage Rose Collection and it was actually the camera image from the packet of embossed die-cuts that became the inspiration for this project. The main camera shape was created using an Envelope Punch Board and embellished using the pretty papers from the Vintage Rose 6x6 Paper Collection . The images on the film strip slider section were die-cut from the packet cover! ... ... and the box card was filled with beautiful images from the packet of Vintage Rose Embossed Die-Cuts . I chose some metal cutting dies that would work well for the camera lens, button and slider and finished the project by adding a sentiment from the Blac...
