Diamond Gatefold fun fold card with Season of Green & Gold specialty paper – video too!

September 16, 2024

On last week's Live video I created this beautiful fun fold card. It shows off both sides of our double sided designer paper beautifully!

I chose to feature the stunning Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper seen here online. It's filled with shades of green with gold foil accents and is part of our Online product line.

I cased my friend Susie Wood who made the card on the left below:

She used the Regal Flora designer paper in Cherry Cobbler with Blackberry Bliss. So very pretty! Find more projects by my talented friend from Iowa here on her blog.

I love this neat fold!

Details:

The pretty gold die-cut is from the Peaceful Season bundle seen here.
The greeting is from the Something Fancy stamp set seen here
The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Forest dies seen here

Look at the extra details inside too. Wedding cards are fun because you can go over the top a bit! This gorgeous card will be given to my youngest son who's getting married this week. I'm so thrilled for him and his fiance'. We're excited to welcome her into our family!

It used a pieces of designer paper measuring 12" X 5 1/4" that is adhered to a card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2". It's scored at 2", 4", 8" and 10". Then the corners are folded down. Here's the simple template I drew:

Life is Beautiful card; made from scraps

December 21, 2020
Have you ever made a card from the scraps on your work space? Or maybe you've been inspired by one as a starting point? Every piece of this card was a scrap!

Save

The stamped & layered main image was leftover from a project I was making but didn't like the shape for it. So it sat in a pile for weeks.

The tree & greeting are stamped in Navy ink. The snowflakes are stamped in Pool Party & Highland Heather. I added a few Snowflake Sequins too. You can see them here. They're 50% off right now; while supplies last. They are perfect for shaker cards too.

The Highland Heather rectangles and the Navy strip were in my bag of scraps and the ribbon was an extra too! Easy peasy!

I will sure miss playing with this stamp set when it retires on January 4th. I'm so sad it's going away! If you don't have it yet; I hope you order it before it's gone. Click here to see it in my store; it's just $17!

Measurements:
- Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- White 3" X 3 5/8"
- Navy 3 1/8" X 3 3/4", 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip
- Highland Heather 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" pieces
Tomorrow's Facebook Live will feature 2 fun fold cards using this stamp set. Tune in here at 11 am Central Time.
