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.

I've shared this fun fold card before but using the Woven Textures and Country Woods DSP put them over the top in my opinion!

The Father's Day greeting is from the Gone Fishing stamp set. The hearts are from the Friends for Life dies.

You can see the inside view of the Father's Day card below. I used the Spring Corners stamp set for accents.

Here's a close-up of the Birthday version. The star dies are from the Wanted to Say dies seen here. Love these! Of course the Nested Essential dies are perfect for the layered greetings here.

Below is the inside of the birthday card. I used the Layered with Love stamp set for the little presents border.

There is a 7 1/2" X 1" scored brace that creates the pop-up effect when the card is opened. Otherwise it lays perfectly flat for mailing and is an A2 size card.

Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

April 18, 2025

Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played? We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!

I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards. These are mine:

Save

Here are each of them below. The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand.

Save

I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them.

Save

The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath. Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

See these pretty cards & envelopes here.

Save

The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold.

The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock.

Save

I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.
