A neat overlapping fun fold card with free project sheet, video & punch trick!

March 10, 2026

Yesterday I shared one of the three fun fold cards I made in the video tutorial last week. Today I’m sharing the second one.

My colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, White and the retired Boho Blue. The colors in the new Delicate Dreams DSP includes a brand new In Color coming out in May. It’s called Hydrangea Hue. I don’t have it yet so I had to substitute.

The Delicate Dreams designer paper AND the Delicate Whispers bundle are out of stock right now but you can add your email to the list to be notified when it’s available. Click on the links to do this. They should be back in stock in a few weeks.

The front top flap overlaps the lower one. I added a strip of the Boho Blue and besides texturing it with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder I used my To the Point punch to mimic the Mossy Meadow punched piece. I love this punch!

Here’s how you do it.

You must insert the layer in the back of the punch and wiggle it between the slot. You don’t insert it through the usual space. See the card stock sticking out of the upper part of the punch? *If you don’t want the usual size of your punch this is how it’s done.

Here’s the inside view of this card with the upper flap lifted:

And here’s the view with both flaps lifted:

Notice the colored die-cut on the White layer here? I cut that die from the White layer and sponged it with Mossy Meadow ink. Then re-inserted it into the White CS. I love this effect!

If you’re loving my free project sheets I suggest you create a file on your computer and save them all there. Easy inspiration!

I’ll share the last card tomorrow. Don’t miss it!

Below is the video tutorial for this card and two more.

Make up to 24 great cards with this easy layout!

July 9, 2021

I created 24 wonderful but super easy cards on this week's Facebook Live video. I featured the same template but switched it from vertical to horizontal for each set of 12 cards.

I chose to use the new Pattern Party host Designer Paper because of it's versatility and fun color combos. You can see this paper here.

I kept these cards super simple but you could easily add more layers if you'd like. Here's a close up of two of my favorites:

Above is Crushed Curry card bases paired with the adorable Pattern Party black and white side of this fabulous Designer Paper. I used both the Friends & Flowers and the Sunny Sentiments stamp sets here. The flowers are colored in with Blends markers.

Here are all of the landscape cards; I love this stamp & punch bundle!

And next are all of the vertical cards. I stamped the flower image from the Friends & Flowers on either White or colored card stock and colored them in with either Blends markers or Wink of Stella; or both! Simply add a greeting strip and some rhinestones. So easy!

The above set of cards is the exact same layout as the landscape cards; just flipped vertically! I love the versatility of this design! This is the same designer paper as well, but on the colorful side. The reverse is all black & white patterns.

The images are from the Friends & Flowers stamp set. The greeting strips are about 3/4" X 3".

Think how quickly you could make a stack of cards using this easy layout! Below is the video to get my tips and see the cards better.

Remember that my perk for ordering over $50 in July is a stack of twenty 4" X 6" Designer Paper that includes at least 12 sheets of this Pattern Party DSP. It's enough to make all 24 cards shown and more! And the more you order the more free Designer Paper you'll receive!
