March 13, 2026

The Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper is the star of these cards! This striking DSP is fun & playful with both bright and soft prints with foil accents.

I truly enjoyed playing with it and am excited to show you the results!

Aren’t they bright & pretty cards?! 4 of the 5 layouts are fun fold designs and the color combinations are unique! I paired it with the Greetings for All ephemera so there’s no stamping needed to finish your cards.

You can choose from the pre-cut kit to go that includes products OR the PDF tutorial option.

The pre-cut kit includes the following: 1/2 pkg Splash of Sparkles specialty paper (6″ X 12″), a share the Greetings for All ephemera, Silver trim and Gold/White twine. Plus you’ll receive the PDF tutorial AND the exclusive video tutorial. It’s $32 and will be mailed out at the end of March. Click here to get yours.

If you’d prefer the PDF tutorial option click here. It’s $16 and includes step by step directions, measurements, photos and a supplies list. It is sent to you via email immediately after purchase.

Unique Charming Day fun fold card with video tutorial

August 25, 2025

I shared this cool fancy fold card on last week’s Live video. It looks like an ordinary card at first glance…

I colored the main floral image with a Wink of Stella and ink from my ink pads. Watch the video to see how it’s done.

I featured the Floral Charm DSP that’s discounted right now during the In Color promotion. See it here. It’s almost $2 off. My favorite thing about it is the color coordination. Each pattern has a soft, matching back side.

I also used the Charming Day bundle that coordinates with the DSP. See that here.

Here’s how the card opens. I’m calling it a double diagonal center fold card. The center stays in place but the outer triangles lift up and to the outside as shown below.

I have a complete project sheet for you with measurements, directions, supplies and photos. The video tutorial will help you understand how to assemble this card; see it below. Click on the following link to print or download this project sheet: Download Double Diagonal Center fold cards

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another super neat fun fold card; both featuring this beautiful paper and Charming Day bundle.
