For the month of October, I will be offering a FREE BUNDLE with every $50.00 you order from me (merchandise subtotal, before tax and shipping). The free bundles are retired and gently used by me, and are pictured on my blog (menu item “BOGO Sale”). You will need to send me an email (suheilmohr@gmail.com) with your mailing address and the title of the set you are choosing immediately after placing your order with Stampin’ Up! You’ll want to let me know right away, before someone else selects it, because these bundles are one-of-a-kind. I will remove the ones that are selected, and mail them the first of November. Sound fun? I hope so!

For the first day of October, I wanted to share a Fun Fold Christmas card, featuring pears! I learned to make this Fun Fold, during “mystery stamping,” at Peggy Noe’s virtual team meeting. She gave us the instructions for this “bridge” card design, and we all selected our own cardstock, designer paper, sentiment, and decorations. 

Pears on “Bridge” Fun Fold

I began by cutting Mossy Meadow Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 10, scoring, and folding, each end 2 1/4″. Then, I cut two pieces of Painterly Pears Designer Paper, 2″ X 4″, and glued them to the folded ends. This was followed by cutting Real Red Cardstock, 1 3/4″ X 3 3/4″, and gluing Painterly Pears Designer Paper to it, 1 5/8″ X 3 5/8″. The top third of this “bridge” piece was glued to the top flap, leaving the rest free. Next, I used Perfectly Pears Dies to cut two pears, and stems & leaves, from Painterly Pears Designer Paper. Then, I stamped the pears, with a Scenic Adventure tree stamp, in Mossy Meadow Ink, and Old Olive Ink.

For the inside, I cut Real Red Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and layered it with Basic White Cardstock 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″. Then, I stamped “Merry Christmas” in Real Red Ink in the open space, seen from the closed card. This sentiment is from the Jolly Holly Stamp Set. I glued one pear to the inside, beneath the bridge, and attached one pear to the top of the bridge with Dimensionals.

As a final step, I added three Peppermint embellishments.
