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.

Change is Beautiful Paper Pumpkin alternatives; plus discounted past kits while supplies last!

April 28, 2022
April's Paper Pumpkin kit is filled with butterflies, scenes & fun fold cards. Each month I enjoy creating alternative designs with the contents in the kits to share with my subscribers each month.

I couldn't wait to play with this kit! Here's a pretty card I made just an hour after receiving my box:

I cut the front of a card base to fit on the front of a Crushed Curry card base and used other elements in the kit (butterfly, flower, banner & gems) to create this scene. I love changing up the cards; the kits are great as is but the challenge of creating something new is fun!

This next card uses the other half of the original card base. The flower layer and the polka dot layer behind it are from the original card. I did trim them just a bit to fit on a White layer.

Other Details:
- I stamped the butterfly in the kit onto the Granny Apple Green layer with Versamark ink for a soft background.
- The caterpillar is from the kit.
- The butterflies are stamped on White card stock using Black Memento ink and colored in with Blends markers.
- The greeting is stamped on an Oval die-cut.

Easiest way to create a scene; the Oceanfront stamp set!

April 26, 2022

Making swaps with a 'water theme' for my Flowerbug's Team was my first play with the Oceanfront stamp set seen here. I found out how easy it is to create a beautiful scene with just 4 stamped images.

Save

My colors include Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Black & Sahara Sand.

Save

The Pebbles Enamel Shapes embellishments are so perfect for the faux stones on the beach. They were unavailable for quite awhile but they're now back!

Save

The greeting & Palm tree are from the Paradise Palms bundle seen here. It pairs wonderfully with the Oceanfront stamp set.

Save

The Diorama dies make this card even more unique. I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the outer 'frame' of the scene and adhered the center down flat. This reveals just a bit of the Black layer and gives dimension or depth to the scene.

Using the Stamparatus helped make these 14 swap cards quick work! I love that we can reverse the plates on our Stamparatus so I could stamp all 4 images; one on each side of the 2 plates.

Save

I think these cards are a great 'guy' card or for those who love the beach.
