Painterly Pears Band Stand Card

 Band Stand Card – My First Try!











This week, I tried something new—a Band Stand Card, and I’m hooked!
It’s my first time making one, and I followed a wonderful YouTube tutorial by Ronda Wade. This fun fold not only opens up into a delightful standing display, but it also folds flat to fit perfectly into a standard medium envelope—practical and pretty!

For my design, I chose Mossy Meadow for the base and panel strips, pairing it with the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper for a fresh, vibrant look. I used the Perfectly Pears Dies to cut the pears and flowers directly from the DSP, along with the crosshatch detail and label on the front. The sentiments came from the matching Perfectly Pears Stamp Set, tying the whole theme together beautifully.

The focal images are mounted on a Window Sheet panel, which adds such a fun floating effect. For the finishing touch, I added three coordinating Low-Profile Sparkle Dots—just the right amount of shine!

I was pleasantly surprised at how simple this card was to create, despite its intricate look. If you’ve been wanting to try a new fun fold, I definitely recommend giving the Band Stand Card a go—it’s easier than it looks and such a wow factor for the recipient.

Have you tried this fold before? Let me know—I’d love to see your take on it!
