All Aflutter envelope-flap style card with free project sheet & video

June 22, 2026

This neat fun fold card was created for my June card clubs. I call it an envelope flap closure.

My colors include Darling Duckling, Blueberry Bushel with White. Wonderfully bright for summer! I used quite a few products here so I’ll list them for you.

All Aflutter stamp and dies bundle seen here
Darling Duckling 12 X 12″ Two-toned card stock
Irresistible specialty designer paper seen here
Lazy Daisy & Floral Spray 3D embossing folders
1 3/4″ and 2″ circle punches
Blending Brushes
a sanding block

The Irresistible designer paper is cut into a 3 3/4″ square and scored in the center diagonally. It’s adhered to the back of the Blueberry Bushel card base before that is adhered to the larger Darling Duckling CS.

There are three patterns in this specialty Irresistible designer paper you can see here. When you add ink to this specialty paper it reveals the white shiny pattern.

You can see the two patterns I used on my card here.

And here’s the other version. Note both the blue Irresistible patterns and the embossing folders.

After we textured the 2-toned Darling Duckling card stock we sanded it with a sanding block (from my husband’s shop) to reveal more of the White core.

You can see the All Aflutter bundle here. I love having butterfly images with a coordinating punch! See it here.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, photos and supplies list. Click here to see it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one other made with the cute All Aflutter bundle.

I’ll share the second card with the free project sheet tomorrow.

The right side is adhered down so only the left side of the card opens up. It's different yet fun and simple. You will need a paper trimmer to cut the card front.

I chose to use the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. See it here or on page 133.

Other products include:
- Tidings of Christmas bundle (annual catalog pg. 89 or seen here)
- Stitched so Sweetly dies
