A neat Diamond Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet

January 19, 2026

I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week’s Live video. If you missed it you can watch it here on YouTube or here on Facebook.

Isn’t it a neat card fold? And it’s super easy to make. I also love that it shows off our coordinating designer series paper so well. Here I used the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP seen here. It’s gorgeous prints include gold foil accents.

I made two different versions because I needed multiples of them for our January Team swap with my Flowerbug’s.

The center greeting layer is added with two folded strips of paper positioned next to the center score line. This allows the greeting to pivot and pop-up when you flex the card. These are about 1 1/2″ X 1/2″ and I simply fold them in half and placed with the score lines next to each other.

You can see how the center panel ‘pops’ up when it’s opened. I really love this fold!

I used the Greenery Lane bundle for the greeting and the White leaf die-cut. You can see this bundle here.

The other two dies are from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

I created a free project sheet for this fun fold card. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card.

Pretty Pumpkin projects in out of the box colors with Video too!

October 8, 2021

On Tuesday's FB Live I featured the Pretty Pumpkins bundle in out of the box colors. I was inspired by the white pumpkins that are trendy now and by a card made by Deb Crowley.

Save

Isn't it gorgeous? The colors are Pool Party, Olive & Smoky Slate. I stamped the pumpkins in Smoky Slate onto White Basic card stock and colored them in with our Watercolor Pencils seen here. A Blender pen is the magic tool when using watercolor pencils! Watch the video below to see how.

Save

I stamped the greeting directly onto the die-cut stitched rectangle using Smoky Slate ink. It's cut from In Good Taste designer paper. I used a blending brush to add a bit of Coastal Cabana ink behind the die-cut pumpkins.

Save

Next is another pretty card in Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Rose Gold. This pretty specialty paper is in our Annual Catalog on page 134 seen here. It's also my free gift for orders in October! *see details below

Save

These pumpkin and leaf die-cuts are in the Detailed Pumpkin dies seen here. *Save 10% when you purchase the bundle – stamp set & dies. I did fussy cut the greeting after stamping it. The embossing folder is called Brick Wall.

Look at this pretty & quick treats box. It's one of our 3 1/8" square Acetate boxes seen in the annual catalog here. You get 10 boxes for $6. Inside can hold either treats or 3 X 3 cards & envelopes.

Save

I added a 2" X 9" belly band of Coastal Cabana card stock, a few pumpkin die-cuts, a wrap of Gold 3/8" shimmer ribbon and a fussy cut greeting.

Save

Did you know we carry 3" square envelopes in the Annual Catalog? Check out page 136. They're perfect for little note cards and they fit in this box too!

You might wonder where you get 3 X 3" cards…. I made them from a piece of 12 X 12" card stock. It's the best size CS to start with. You'll get 8 small cards from one sheet with no waste! Watch my tip on this in the video below.

Save

I think these cards would be great at each place setting on the Thanksgiving table! Think white pumpkins, autumn colored leaves & turquoise ribbon or accents. Mmm – I think I have a plan!
