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 inside 'box' that pops up the scalloped rectangle layer is adhered to both the side and back of the card. It folds flat when mailing but sure adds nice dimension when the card is opened.

I plan to share this card fold on a future live video soon. Follow me here on Facebook or here on my YouTube channel.

Here are all 10 cards included in the kit. You do need ink and greeting stamps to finish them.

One Horse Open Sleigh Spanner fun fold card

July 27, 2023
I was surprised to see the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper back in stock. It was unavailable last week but it's back now. I featured it in one of my July card kits to go. See it here online.

Save

This designer paper is so pretty; it's filled with beautiful scenes and soft prints.

It's called a spanner card because of it's unique fold – the horizontal layer spans the card from side to side.

Save

I added a few die-cut trees on the right side. I colored them with Blends markers – adding brown and Gray Granite to the white. The greeting is from the Lasting Joy stamp set.

The Gray Granite card base is a simple 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Then you cut up to the score line at the 1 1/4" mark on front; on both sides.

I added designer paper to the center panel and also to both side panels. The horizontal piece 'spans' under the to side panels like this:

Save

Measurements:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4". Cut up to the score line at 1 1/4".
- Horizontal layer 5 1/2" X 1"
- Designer paper 2 3/4" X 4" and two pieces 1" X 4" for the sides.
Save

This card was included in both my PDF tutorial and the pre-cut card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold. I have just two kits left. You can see them both here along with other kits and tutorials.

There are quite a few amazing deals on the Clearance Rack now and I thought I'd highlight a few of my favorites:

Save

I am surprised that the stamp set and dies are both there along with the pretty Soft Seafoam ribbon and the Open Leaf Trinkets. *Both are now just $1.25! Click on the blue highlighted words to see these items in the Clearance Rack.

Next is the Leaves of Holly stamp set. It was $22 and is now just $15.25 on clearance.

I created these beautiful Christmas cards on a video last year.

Save

I call it the 5 at a time technique. You stamp one sheet of neutral paper and then cut it into 5 pieces using my template below. And the neat thing is the layers under the stamped White card stock are also cut using a template. Just 2 sheets of card stock to make 5 card fronts! *Watch the video below or click here.

Save

See how I stamped down the center of the White card stock on the photo above? Next I cut it using the template below:

The first template is what you stamp on. The one below is for the layers under the stamped pieces. It's just 1/8" larger for a nice thin layered accent.

Save

Next is the template for the colored layers on each stamped layer.

Save

Watch the video below to see how it's done. Think about your favorite stamp sets and how fast you can create beautiful cards using these templates!
