Delicate Dreams fun fold cards with free project sheet & video tutorial

March 9, 2026

The beautiful Delicate Dreams suite is new in our online products. The designer paper is especially pretty but unfortunately it’s out of stock right now. So popular! I had planned to offer it as one of my kit to go’s this month but it will have to wait until April.

I shared 3 unique fun fold cards featuring this suite on last week’s video. We made them at my February Team meeting and I’ll be sharing them all this week.

Today I’m sharing the double flap card (top right above). This neat fold gives you lots of opportunities to use your beautiful designer series paper.

My colors include Mossy Meadow, White, Secret Sea and Earthen Metallic foil paper. That beautiful blue you see here is an upcoming NEW in color called Hydrangea Hue. It’s going to be a favorite of many!

Check out this gorgeous new Suite here. Add your email to the list of any product that’s out of stock and you’ll be notified when it’s available.

Once you open it there’s a surprise inside; another layer to open!

I added a simple strip of the pretty watercolor DSP and a flower die-cut from the pretty Delicate Dreams DSP. This pretty paper has bronze foil designs all over it!

Here’s the final inside layer. I stamped images from the Delicate Whispers stamp set.

If you’d like the free project sheet for this card layout click here. You can download or print it off.

I’ll share the other two cards in the next few days. Don’t miss them!

Below is the video tutorial for these cards; be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Or follow me on Facebook here; I share a video almost every Tuesday at 11 am CT.

Dressed to Impress Best Dressed Triple Fold card

April 22, 2020

The retired list will be out this afternoon.

Stop back in to see it or click here to see it all in my store.

Here's the Best Dressed fun fold card I promised you yesterday. (See the Ornate Garden cards here.)

Look at this cute fun fold card! See how the paper matches up across the three panels? So clever! **Watch the video here on Facebook.

This card is standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" but you score it at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4" to get the triple fold.

Save

The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper! Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6". Cut the Best Dressed paper into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

Those three pieces add up to 6" across! What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet! The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4".

Save

I added a pretty die-cut border cut from the Ornate Borders die; love the eyelet detail on it! The set of dies are currently unavailable but should be back in stock in early May.
The greeting layers are cut using the Stitched Nested Labels and the flowers and leaves are stamped and fussy cut. The colors are Old Olive and Purple Posy.

The stamps are all from the Dressed to Impress stamp set seen here.

Save

The die-cuts here are from the Stitched So Sweetly dies from the mini catalog; also currently out of stock and unavailable. They should be back in next week. The colors here are Lovely Lipstick and Mint Macaron.

Ornate Thanks & Ornate Borders with a clever fun fold idea

April 21, 2020

I shared these two pretty cards on my Facebook Live last Tuesday. (Click here to see my page.) I made another version using the Best Dressed designer paper. I'll share those tomorrow.

Save

They are made from a standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock but you add a second score to it. It's scored on the long side at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4".

The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper! Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6". Cut it into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

Those three pieces add up to 6" across! What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet!

The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4". I used the To a Wild Rose stamp set for the greeting. The leaves and greeting die-cut are from the popular Painted Labels dies (now available again!!!)

Here's a close up view of the greeting. It looks like I heat embossed it right?

Save

I didn't but it is sparkly! I used the Wink of Stella pen! It's fun to trace the stamped greeting; it's large enough that it was easy to do.

You can find this pretty Ornate Garden specialty paper and the entire Ornate Garden suite of products here.

Save

This card base is Terracotta Tile; one of our 2019-21 In Colors. I paired it with Mint Macaron card stock.

Save

I added an extra Ornate Border trim on the inside of the card too. You might be able to spot more Wink of Stella on the designer paper and I added it to the die-cuts too. See that pretty Terracotta Tile ribbon? It's part of the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack with Old Olive. Gorgeous soft 1/4" ribbons!

Save

The label and leafy die-cuts here are from the To a Wild Rose bundle seen here.
