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.

Be Dazzling specialty paper is sold out! Fabulous Summer Shadow dies projects with video!

September 17, 2021

I cannot believe the many ways you can use these Summer Shadow dies seen here! I shared two bright, fun cards yesterday here and have more yet today.

Save

I sure love the leaves in Coastal Cabana & Pool Party! The flowers are Melon Mambo & Blushing Bride.

Save

The greeting is from the coordinating stamp set in the Annual Catalog called Shaded Summer seen here. I love the greetings & font in this set! That heat embossed greeting/die-cut is from the Messages die.

Save

Next up I created some colorful cards using the Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling specialty designer paper. As of today this paper is SOLD OUT unfortunately. They did predict they'd run out of this paper before Sale-a-Bration is over.

Just so you know, these Summer Shadow dies (and the Sheep dies) are also expected to run out!

Save

I used Blends markers to color my flowers. You can see this in the video below. The card base is Granny Apple Green and the vertical strips are Poppy Parade on the left & Magenta Madness on the right.

Which is your favorite?

The pretty Summer Shadow dies unleashed my creativity!

September 16, 2021

I sure had fun playing with the Summer Shadow dies this week. I planned to make 3 cards and ended up with 6! I had to make myself stop, which rarely happens. I started out with this amazing card inspired by one made by Beth McCullough.

Save

I die-cut a bunch of flowers & leaves from Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green Coastal Cabana and Magenta Madness and added them to Black CS that I embossed with the Hello & Thank you embossing folders. The greeting from Shaded Summer is on a die-cut from the Messages die. See the pink & black gingham ribbon? It's originally Black & White but I colored it with my Magenta blends marker.

As you can see in these eye catching cards you can do a lot with these dies!

Save

I also made this neat card with a paper piecing technique. I inserted petals into the outline flower and secured them with tape. The black & White DSP behind the fie-cuts is from the Pattern Party DSP. It's a huge pack of 48 sheets – a hostess choice with orders over $150 seen here or on page 171 of the annual catalog.

The colors are Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Black, White & Mango Melody.

Save

Easy 8 Card Wonder with Christmas Season

September 15, 2021

Last month my local gals made these cards at class. It's made with my Easy 8 Card Wonder template. I just love creating my own designer paper with our gorgeous colors and stamped images! It's one of my favorite things to create.

Save

I chose to use these colors: Old Olive, Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry, Cajun Craze & Bermuda Bay.

The stamps include Little Delights, Sparkle of the Season, Thinking, Thanks & Peace; all from the 2021 Holiday Catalog.

I stamped an entire 8 1/2" X 11" piece of White card stock using the Christmas Season stamp set. On the reverse side of this is the printed template so I know just where to cut each piece!

Save

You can get the PDF tutorial for this one sheet wonder here on my Tutorial Shop. Once purchased you'll receive it via email. Be sure to check your spam or junk folder for it!
