AMAZING Most Adored Cascading Pleats fancy fold card – with video & free project sheet!

February 19, 2024

Have you seen or made a 'Cascading Pleats' fun fold card before? They're so cool and actually quite easy to make.

I shared how in last week's video. *if you want to watch them Live, follow me on my FB page here.

I chose to feature the Most Adored Specialty designer paper for my video projects. On this card I used both the Flirty Flamingo side and the Gold Foiled sides of this pretty paper. See it here. It's free with any $50 order through February during our Sale-a-Bration promotion – or while supplies last.

I have full measurements in my free project tutorial below but it will help you a lot to watch the video.

There are three layers and they 'cascade' in sizes from smallest in the front to largest in the back. Each has 2-3 layers.

Other products used include: Thoughtful Moments Hybrid 3D embossing folder, Hooray for Surprises bundle, Give it a Whirl dies, Something Fancy stamp set, Gold foil paper & Elegant Trim.

It looks quite complicated but it really isn't. I hope you 'll watch my video below or here to see how it's made.

Gears & Textures bundle; another wow with Candace’s fun fold card

January 28, 2026

Today I’m sharing a neat card made by Candace; my talented team member. She used the Gears & Textures bundle to make this:

Save

You can see the Gears & Textures bundle here. It’s so special & unique and perfect for masculine cards. But as you can see in Candace’s card it’s great for gals too!

She made her own paper with the stamps in the set. She used Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy & Flirty Flamingo inks. She added die-cut gears from the Metallic Textured Specialty papers seen here.

Save

If you want to make a card like this start out with a 4 1/4″ X 11″ piece of card stock scored at 5 1/2″. Trim off a 1 1/2″ piece from one end. Then trim off another 2 1/2″ piece which is the vertical center piece. The stamped paper layers are 1 1/4″ X 4″ on the top & bottom and the center is 2 1/4″ X 4″.

Thanks for the amazing fun fold card Candace!

Sweet Encircled with Love Valentine’s card

January 27, 2026

Tracey created this striking card with the Made with Love designer paper:

I love the abstract designer paper pieces she added to her White layer. Then to make sure the greeting was the focal point she added the top square of DSP. Perfect!
This is a great example of taking leftover pieces of coordinating DSP and layering them up. A great way to use scraps!

She used the Encircled with Love stamp set seen here along with the 1 3/4″ & 1 7/8″ circle punches. Her colors include Real Red, Flirty Flamingo with White which she got from the pretty designer paper.

See the Made with Love designer paper here.

Your card inspired me to look at and use my DSP scraps Tracey! Thank you.

This fun fold looks difficult but it’s quite deceiving. It’s really so simple to make; I hope you try one! I’m a bit obsessed with this fold!

The Friendly Foliage bundle is a big favorite of many since it came out in our Online store a few months ago.
