Stunning Garden Poetry Fun-fold card kit with tutorial option

March 12, 2026

The Garden Poetry designer paper was a firm choice for one of my card kits. It’s absolutely breathtaking with the coordinating prints in leafy and watercolor designs.

I wanted to show off both sides of this beautiful paper so I chose to feature fun folds for these cards.

I love the vibrant colors so much. If you enjoy creating with ‘ready to go’ kits I hope you’ll try one or more of my kits to go.

This kit to go includes multiple products to create cards like these click here. The kit includes all 10 pre-cut cards, 1/2 pkg of the designer paper, a share of the Garden Epoxy gems and the Berry Burst ribbon and costs $31. Plus you’ll receive the PDF tutorial AND the link to the exclusive video tutorial.

The PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, a supplies list and step by step directions. You’ll need a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper using the measurements in the tutorial. You’ll also need a few ink colors, greeting images and adhesives to finish your cards. I have a limited supply of these kits available; reserve yours soon!

If you’d like the PDF tutorial click here. It’s $16.

The PDF tutorial is sent to you via email immediately after purchase. Check your spam folder.

Snowflake Wishes Fun Fold card; easy but beautiful!

October 21, 2020
Here's another pretty fun fold card with the Snowflake Wishes suite of products. Marilyn made this beauty.

It's a side fold card which is super easy to do!

She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for her front layers, the Snowflake Splendor designer paper on the left and the Snowflake Wishes bundle for the stamps & die-cuts. Note the pretty Glimmer snowflake! Our Balmy Blue Glimmer paper is gorgeous!

She used Pacific Point ink on the greeting and the faint snowflakes in the background were done by stamping off a few times to get a lighter hue.

Measurements:
- Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" scored at 5 1/2", stitched rectangle die-cut is 3" X 4 1/4"
- Whisper White inside 4" X 5 1/4", stitched rectangle die-cut is 2 5/8" X 4"
- Snowflake Splendor DSP 2 1/2" X 4"

Look at this amazing fun fold card Tracey made for our Flowerbug's Team swap last month. Incredibly beautiful!

This card is over the top gorgeous! The Navy snowflakes are die-cut with the Snowflake Wishes bundle here and she also used the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here; it's on sale this month!!

This fancy fold card is for those crafters who don't mind scoring and cutting with multiple measurements! You can see her template below and one I found online to show scoring areas.

Here's the inside view:

- The center DSP is 4 1/4" X 2", the center Navy is 2 1/8" X 4 3/8"
- The DSP side pieces are 3/4" X 4 1/4", the Navy side pieces are 7/8" X 4 3/8"
Here is her template. It's called a Center Step card and measures 4 1/4" X 11".

Outside score lines are at 1", 2" and 6 1/2". The center score line is at 5 1/2" .
