Welcome to 2025 Funky Folds blog hops!!

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm hopping with an awesome bunch of talented crafters who love dabbling with folds!!  

We are a group of like-minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky 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. 

All Blog Hops have an 'anything goes' theme using any type of 'funky' card fold.

My card for our hop is an exploding box card!!  I think this is a fun card and works so well with flowers and butterflies and then had the brainwave that the mushrooms would work perfectly!! 

Having the coordinating punch works so well for these stamps - so much easier to create the cute pop up elements!

ON the back of the card is the writing panel so the card can be kept open to display!!  

And the fun elements is that this card folds flat for easy postage!  

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of amazing inspiration just for you!
