I love demonstrating “fancy folds” using Stampin’ Up! products. SU makes it so easy since all their products are coordinated! Here is a really neat project that is looks harder than it really is! It is also known as the “Hip to be Square” card by Roni Johnson!

I created several projects using this fancy fold technique — Using the POINSETTIA PLACE Suite, SNOWMAN SEASON stamp and Snowman Builder Punch in the full 6″x6″ format with the matching box.

I also adapted the technique to 3″x3″ format to create fun smaller cards that fit perfectly in the 3″ Square Envelopes (145829) or Acetate Card Boxes (150428).

Follow my Video Tutorial below and I’ll show how to create a “WOW” card and custom box that you will love gift-ing for any occasion!
