I hope you enjoyed our weekly YouTube live crafting session yesterday, we created this super easy fun fold called a Bendy Card!

Did you miss the live?

If you missed it, I’ve posted the video tutorial replay at the bottom of this post.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Balloon Festoon bundle but you can create these fun fold cards for nearly any occasion with any supplies you have!

I was inspired to try a bendy card based on a cute penguin bendy card my friend Liz sent to me!! Here is her video and her card below. SO CUTE .. penguins from the Wild Bunch set!!

A handmade bendy card with blue floral patterns features three illustrated penguins on the left panel and a “Thank you for all you do!” label with a blue heart on the right. The card stands upright and curves slightly forward. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

A top-down view of four colorful, hexagonal bendy cards arranged on a dark surface. Each fun fold card showcases creative patterns with curved bases. The text above reads: “Top View: Bendy Cards!! www.PattyStamps.com”. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Bendy Card Dimensions

A spiral notebook page with handwritten instructions for making a 5x7 bendy card, including measurements and diagrams. A note at the bottom says, “Reminder: Mail this card FLAT in a 5x7 envelope!” Branding for PattyStamps.com is also visible. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Envelope Note:

These cards are to be mailed FLAT in a 5×7 envelope. Do NOT fold the bendy card in half… you’ll ruin the bendy part. (see video for details). If you don’t have that size, you can pick from a variety of colors HERE.

A handmade birthday card stands upright, featuring layered pastel balloons, polka dots, and confetti on a folded, 3D base. Text reads “Happy Birthday” at the bottom and “For an Amazing Friend” on the central balloons. Stars and dots decorate the card. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Above & Below: my Bendy Cards featuring the Balloon Festoon bundle and the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP.

Remember, the Balloon Festoon bundle doesn’t have to be used for birthdays. Think about:

Congrats – job promo, new job, new home, retirement, sales achievement
Graduation
Baby Shower
Anniversary – think maybe silver or gold for milestone anniversaries
or simply: congrats, so proud of you, hooray, you did it, cheers, celebrate today

A handmade pop-up card features colorful patterned paper balloons and congratulatory messages like "You did it!" and "Hooray!" The card reads "Congratulations Bendy Card" at the top and "Congratulations!" along the bottom border. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

The Congrats card above could be for so many different occasions!! The balloons just make it extra fun!

Another Bendy Card idea.. here is the Father’s day card I made for Eric, featuring the Stampin’ Up! BBQ Master bundle!

A handmade Father’s Day card with a 3D design featuring a grill, flames, a cheeseburger, and a blue oven mitt on a red striped background. The front reads “GRILLIN’ AND CHILLIN’,” with “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY” on a curved banner below. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
