Recently I participated in the Online Stamping Retreat held by Kylie & Bruno Bertucci, Lisa Curcio & Gina Hawley. These events are always so much fun and focus on beautiful fun folds – what more could I want seriously? At the recent event held back in February, Bruno made a seriously cool card featuring the Storybook Moments suite. It was so much fun to make – so much so that I made another two versions. Stay tuned as I will share these in the next week!

what is online stamping retreat?

The Online Stamping Retreat is held multiple times a year and focuses on teaching new & inspiring fun folds created by Kylie & Bruno Bertucci, Lisa Curcio & Gina Hawley. Registration is only open for limited times & you can add yourself to the wait list for the upcoming June 2025 retreat by clicking here.

my finished storybook moments scene card

Here is a look at my finished card from the front. This is a chunky card but is totally worth it! A card that is best given in person or there will definitely be extra postage required!

The Storybook Moments suite is such a cute storybook style suite that is perfect for so many occasions. For this card I decided to create it to gift to my gorgeous friend Rochelle as these vintage/coloured/storybook style scenes remind me of Rochelle’s gorgeous style.

a fun little storybook moments box envelope

To house my finished card I created a quick and easy flip top box which I have decorated with the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper and some beautiful retired Boho Blue ribbon and completed with a swing tag with a personalised name.

how this fun fold works with a swing out scene

I love how Bruno created this card design to easily swivel and swing out to create a fold out scene. This works perfectly with the Storybook Moments images and suite components to create this magical garden scene.

Using the included die from the Storybook Garden dies to create this fun garden ‘scene’ really set the scene for this fun & interactive card.

a look at the full storybook moments scene

Here is a look at the finished full scene with the left and right hand side cards folded out to reveal the garden scene.
This is such a fun way to create an interactive card with a lot of possibilities for personalisation.

a closer look at the detail

Here are some close up looks at the detail and embellishment that went into creating this project.

somewhere to write a message

You could add a section in the swing/swivel panels to write but this particular project I followed Bruno’s example and added a card to the back which is where you can leave a message to the recipient.

I hope that you enjoyed seeing my project today and were inspired to try out an interactive card like this one I have shared today.
