Today I’m sharing Sharon’s beautiful card swap. Our October Team swap theme was Fall or Halloween.
She chose to feature the Sunflower Fields suite and the Everyday Arches dies. I’ll share the products used here below.
That gorgeous foil paper behind the arches is theRadiant Foils specialty paper. See how she used the Arches dies for her greeting? She turned it sideways and layered it with a second one in Early Espresso.
I jotted down the measurements for this fun fold card for you.
Pecan Pie card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″, lower z-fold 8 1/2″ X 1 1/4″ scored at 4 1/4″ & 6 3/8″
DSP vertical front and inside 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″
DSP horizontal front 4″ X 1″ , inside 2 pieces at 1 7/8″ X 1″
Arches; DSP 3″ X 4 1/4″, Early Espresso 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″, White inside 2 1/4″ X 3 1/2″, greetings 2 1/4″ X 1″

Cool Chevron fun fold with a free project sheet & video tutorial
Tomorrow is the last day to redeem your Bonus Coupons for orders placed in July.
I was inspired to make this fun chevron card fold when my friend Susie Wood shared hers with me. It's a neat way to use your scraps of designer paper for a unique card front. See hers here.
I chose to use the Botanically Inked designer paper for my cards.
I made one before and one during a recent live video. See it here.
Inked Botanicals Diagonal Z-fold card; with a free printable project sheet!
Each month at my local Card Clubs we make at least one fun fold card. Here's the pretty card we made in August:
It's called a Diagonal Z-fold card. You might think it looks a bit intimidating but it's really not. I shared how to make it in a recent video seen here. Plus I have a free project sheet for you as well! Download Diagonal Z-fold card
I textured the Lost Lagoon layer with either the 3D Basics folders or the Painted Texture 3D folder.
My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and White with a bit of Vellum added with the die-cut leaf (Gorgeously Made dies). The other sprig and leaf are from the Bough punch (temporarily out of stock).
Below is the template I made. You start out with an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. Make a mark at 3" down from the upper right and 3" up from the lower left. Cut in half on the diagonal.
Then place the flat side of the card stock on your paper trimmer or scoring board and score at 4 1/4" and 8". That's it!
To create the diagonal layers for each area you start with full rectangles like a normal card and cut off the upper portion at an angle. Measurements are given in the project sheet above.
I've used the Inked & Tiled stamp set a lot; I love the images and the greetings fit in the Double Oval punch perfectly!
The designer paper is the Inked Botanicals seen here.
Join me for a Free Fun Fold card class – Live tonight!
We're making this neat Tuck & Fold 'Peek-a-Boo' card tonight on my Facebook Page here. It starts at 7:30 pm CT Monday evening.
I encourage my followers to prep their pieces ahead of time and create along with me on the Live video.

Front & inside layers 4" X 5 1/4"
Greeting for front
White layer inside the DSP fold – 2 3/4" square

I'm using a brand new designer paper from the upcoming Holiday catalog. It's called Garden Walk. It comes in 6 X 6" size – 48 sheets – 6 each of 6 designs.
**I'll be offering a designer paper share later this week; it includes eighty 6 X 6" pieces of our newest, beautiful designer papers – all for $37 including shipping! Let me know if you want in on this; I'm taking names now and can invoice you after Wednesday.
Here's the inside view: I saved 3 of the 4 cut off corners to create a unique way to add my greeting.
My card base is Calypso Coral as well as the ink. The stamps are both from a new set called So Sincere. It's one of my very favorites in the Holiday catalog!
I hope you join me tomorrow night; Monday, August 28th at 7 pm CT here. If you aren't on Facebook the video will be uploaded to my YouTube channel here.
Oh; did you spy the new embossing folder? It's called Distressed Tile; it is in the upcoming Holiday catalog.
