A neat Tower card with video & free project sheet with Peaceful Garden

December 3, 2025

I just love this fun fold ‘tower’ card layout! It gives you lots of opportunities to feature your designer paper.

I featured the Peace on Earth bundle and the Modern Garden designer paper. The colors include White, Secret Sea and Silver. The Peace on Earth bundle was a ‘must have’ for me because of the pretty greetings and layering die-cuts. I like that the greetings include more than just Christmas making it quite versatile.

This Tower card fun fold is made with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock but scored 5 times across the long edge. Then you simply adhere the ends together and allow the other end to open. Genius!

Note how the center panel swivels a bit…. I stamped one card with a holiday greeting and the other with a sympathy greeting. You can see the back side of the Holiday card here. I pulled out a Paper Pumpkin stamp set to fit.

I love the textured embossing on the left White panel. That is from the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder seen here. I used just the side of this folder to achieve the textured edge.

I created a free project sheet for this card; simply click on this link to print or download it.

Here’s the tip on how the front panel swivels a bit on the fold. So easy to achieve!

It’s two strips of card stock about 1/2″ wide and 1″ long folded in half. Each half is adhered with the fold on the main card fold.

Below is the video tutorial for this card, another pretty Christmas card and a candy bar treat holder.

A special fun-fold card with Caring Leaves with video & free project sheet

October 28, 2024

I shared this unique fun fold card on last week's FB Live video. It's also uploaded to my YouTube channel too.

Save

It was one of the projects we made at my October card clubs this month. The Caring Leaves stamp set is in our current Holiday catalog. See it here. It's a sweet & simple set that is both Distinktive and a 2-step set.

Save

You can see the fun fold below. The card base is scored 3 times. The measurements can be found in the free project sheet here. Click on the following link to print it or to download it. Download Caring Leaves Oct 2024

My colors include Very Vanilla, Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock. After stamping the front panel we added texture with an embossing folder. I offered the Birch 3D or the Leaf Fall 3D folders.

That stunning Pretty Peacock & Copper foil specialty DSP is called Oxidized Copper and can be found here. It's currently in low inventory though.

Save

We blended a bit of Copper Clay ink to the front panel and greeting strip after embossing. A blending brush provides a beautiful & smooth color.

Below you'll find the video; please be sure to follow me on my YouTube Channel here too. I share one every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT on my Facebook page.

More Christmas card ideas from the Holiday Catalog by my Team

October 25, 2024

This is the third batch of Christmas card swaps I've shared – all made by my talented Flowerug's Team.

First up today is an adorable card made by Candy. She used the Snowy Wonder bundle seen here in the Holiday catalog.

Save

I adore her color combination of Pool Party with Real Red & White. It's one of my favorites for the holidays. She stamped her snowflake background. The snow globe is stamped with the Falling Snow background stamp.

She added tons of layers and textures here! From the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder to her die-cuts, greetings and snowflake embellishments. So much detail!!

Here's the inside view. This greeting is from the Peaceful Season stamp set.

Next is a sweet & simple card made by Karen.

Save

Her greeting is from the Peaceful Season bundle. She chose to feature the nostalgic Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.

Save

This pretty paper is one of the frequent 'give back's' that Stampin' Up! does each year. They are donating $3 to children's literacy programs around the world for each pack they sell.

~~~

Mary also chose to use this same DSP on her card. Another simple but neat way to make your designer paper the star of the card. Her colors are Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler & Vanilla.

Save

There are still more swaps left to share; stay tuned!

3 great fun fold ideas from my Team swaps

October 24, 2024
You're going to love these fancy fold cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for this month's swap. I shared a few others yesterday and here are three more:

Lori made this cute 'gift box' card.

Save

She used the Take a Bow DSP seen here and the Peaceful Christmas dies too. She wrote the 'Merry' greeting by hand. It's like a pocket card except the top is a fold that pulls up the inside like this:

Save

Measurements:
- DSP 2 pieces of each at 3 7/8" X 4 1/2" (striped), Red is 1 1/8" X 4 1/2"
- Real Red 4 1/4" X 2" score in half at 1" (poke two holes for threading ribbon), 3" X 4 1/4" inside pocket
- White 2 3/4" X 4" inside pocket layer
- scraps for die-cuts
Next is a sweet card made by Joan who did make a pocket card!

Save

She used the Christmas Friends stamp set (seen here) along with the Deckled Circle dies. Isn't her coloring fabulous? She has a knack for coloring with the Blends markers.

Next is an adorable card made by Sharon who chose the Sweetest Star bundle and also used the Take a Bow DSP.

Save

She scored her colored Santa from center to each point and added it to the inside of her punched star window with two stacked dimensionals in the center. Love this idea! See the Sweetest Star bundle here.

Save

Check back tomorrow for more Team swaps!
