Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - August 2025 - Bottom Fold Card

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! It's Designer Challenge time again and our theme for August 2025 is Bottom Fold Card. 

For my card, I was trying to think of ideas to create a bottom fold card when I had a brain fart! I thought about the old recipe folders or books. My Granny had little recipe cards, my Nanny had hand written notes on paper and stored inside recipe books. My Mom had a little of both. So I decided to make a recipe folder for the front of my card. 

I started with a 5x7 sized card base using Neenah smooth white cardstock. I added Karen Burniston's Long Flap and Closure from the same cardstock. I used my Cricut to cut out the word "recipe" twice using heavy weight smooth black cardstock, then glued the two pieces together to give the word some dimension. I die cut flowers and leaves from Karen Burniston's Fun Flowers die set and added them around the word recipe to make it look a little vintage. 

 For the inside, I wanted my card to open up to Grandmas kitchen. I used the Oven Pop-Up and Oven Extras to make this card. I added shelves and added some accessories using the Fireplace Add-Ons. I also added a floor mat using the blanket from Picnic Elements. I die cut the pieces from Neenah cardstock and coloured them in with Copic markers. 

I added the new Display Helpers dies to each corner to keep the card open properly. These were HUGE helpers and I highly recommend them!! I added a label to my card using the Katherine Label die set and stamped a sentiment on it from Simon Says Stamps called Inside Family Messages. 

I tried to keep the colors light but welcoming. From the Grandchildren's art work on the shelf to the cookies in the oven, this just screams Grandmas Kitchen.
