This month’s blog hop theme is Fun Folds! Now, I’ll be honest—fun folds aren’t usually my thing. I tend to stick to simpler layouts, like the classic single fold. But I was excited to step outside my comfort zone and try something new! So, what do I do when I need direction? I head straight to Pinterest! And I highly recommend you do the same—there are so many fun and clever ideas out there. I came across a cute design from Karen Titus and thought, “I can do that!” That’s how this project came to be.
I decided to use the Tractor & Co Bundle—one of the new Online Exclusive products from Stampin’ Up!—and I think it turned out just right! This cheerful fun fold card is perfect for Father’s Day—sure, I might be a little late or super early, but either way, it’s ready to go. I paired farm-fresh patterns with a bold red tractor die cut and a playful accordion fold that reveals layered messages inside. With charming stamped details like corn stalks, pumpkins, and even a chicken, this card is full of personality and perfect for the farmer or country guy in your life!
The Tractor & Co Bundle is packed with charm and everything you need to create a cozy, homespun scene—or something even more playful. You can mix and match stamped images and die-cut pieces to build tractors, trailers filled with pumpkins or festive trees, and fall crops. Then finish your card with just the right sentiment—whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas, a thank you, or simply a thoughtful hello. The bundle includes both the Tractor & Co Stamp Set and the coordinating Tractor & Co Dies, making it easy to bring your creative vision to life.
Even though fun folds don’t come naturally to me, I really enjoyed making this one. Sometimes all it takes is a little browsing and a great stamp set to spark a new idea. The Tractor & Co Bundle was the perfect choice, and I’m so glad I gave it a try.
Be sure to check out my other Tractor & Co card designs below, along with a scrapbook layout and a fun 3D treat box. Thanks so much for stopping by! If you’re inspired to create your own version of any of these projects, I’d love to see what you make—share your creations with me!
Tractor & Co Cards
It’s never too early to start crafting Christmas cards, and this adorable red tractor from the Tractor & Co bundle is the perfect place to start. I paired it with trees from the coordinating die set, and by turning the corn dies upside down, they look just like festive string lights!
I just couldn’t help myself—I had to make a couple of John Deere versions! That classic green and yellow is such a nostalgic combo, and it brought back so many memories. And can we talk about those chickens? Oh my goodness, they absolutely cracked me up! Their little personalities add such a fun, lighthearted touch—I was grinning the whole time I was putting everything together. This project really brought a smile to my face, and I hope it does the same for you!
Tractor & Co Scrapbook Page
“Bountiful Blessings” is the perfect title for this scrapbook page, which captures the heartwarming memories of country life. My version of a cornfield creates a beautiful backdrop to record moments like Grandpa taking the grandkids on a tractor ride or the deep sense of pride that comes after harvesting a garden you’ve lovingly tended. This layout is all about celebrating the simple joys, hard work, and family traditions that bring us the richest blessings of all.
Tractor & Co 3D Treat Box
I used the Tractor & Co dies to create this adorable 3D treat box, and I just love how it turned out! The dies make it surprisingly easy to put together—all the little details come to life with just a few cuts and layers. It’s the perfect way to deliver a small snack, candy, or homemade treat with a whole lot of charm. Whether you’re surprising a friend, thanking a neighbor, or adding a special touch to a party favor, this tiny tractor delivers in style!

Lovely fun fold and other projects. Reminding that soon harvest time is coming.😊
Your projects are all so beautiful Christie. I especially love that little treat box.
Oh my goodness, these are all so cute!! Love that bundle and you’ve created some amazing projects with it!! 🙂
Oh my goodness – these are SO stinkin’ cute! What fun! 🙂
Too cute! Love all the harvest! TFS
Can you please tell me what you used to get the yellow stripe on the green tractor which has the stitching line on it? Many thanks
Of course! I cut out a banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies in Daffodil Delight and just trimmed the edge to use. I wanted it to be more than just a thin strip, so I thought the stitched edge worked perfectly! Hope that will work for you too! 😊
Thank you, it makes a lovely added extra to the tractor. Love your cards
Thank you!! ❤️
Do you have measurements/directions for any of these fun tractor projects?
Hi Mary, thank you so much for your comment and for taking the time to reach out! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cards!
I’ve just recently started sharing tutorials and I’m still working on the best way to include measurements and instructions. For the Tractor cards, I was definitely in “fly by the seat of my pants” mode—sometimes I just get carried away creating and forget to write things down! 😅
That said, I love hearing what’s helpful to readers, and I’ll do my best to include more detailed measurements in future tutorials. I so appreciate your support and hope you’ll stick around as I continue to grow and share more crafty inspiration! 💛
I love the little treat holder especially! I can probably figure out the rest. I’ve just never been good at figuring out the 3 D stuff!!! This is such a fun set!!
Yay! It wasn’t too hard to figure out. Just make a little box. I will give you one tip. Make sure your wheels are level before glueing down… My tractor wobbles a little! lol 😆
