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.

Note how the front panel with the checkered banner is outside the left side of the card.

She used the Timeless Plaid & Otterly Adorable DSP here as well as the Arches dies.  Inside you'll find the Soft Waves embossing folder with a bit of sponging to catch the texture.

Look at these wonderful Plaid Themed card swaps

April 24, 2025

I'm excited to share these fabulous swap cards by my Flowerbug's Team today. Our theme was to use plaid in some way on our cards.

Jacki made this unique card with the Timeless Plaid DSP.

Save

She cut three pieces of Timeless Plaid DSP using the Stylish Shapes dies. Then cut them into even pieces and added her sentiment between them. I love the simple addition of the twine on the upper left. She used the new Secret Sea with Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

Paula made this gorgeous card also using the Timeless Plaid DSP.

Save

She also used the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and the Textured Notes dies and the Wishing You bundle. I love her color combo; it really shows off the pretty colors in the DSP. Look at the ribbon threaded through the die-cut edges! Her colors include Early Espresso & Pecan Pie.

Candy made this gorgeous card using the Twisted in Time stamp set.

Save

She also used the Textured Notes dies and the Plaid embossing folder. Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Basic Beige and Early Espresso.

More swaps coming tomorrow!

Do NOT forget about the free shipping promotion through Friday!
