Luxe Foliage Window Z-fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

September 28, 2026

I just love this card I made for last week’s video! It features the exclusive Luxe Foliage specialty designer series paper.

Gorgeous, right? I cased this fold from my friend Susie Wood. I get so many fun fold ideas from her. Check out her blog here.

This stunning Luxe Foliage DSP is a Product of the Month and available while supplies last. See it here. You can redeem it for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 mark. There are 4 sheets of each pattern in this pack!

I paired it with Secret Sea, Gold foil and White here. On this card I used the Everyday Arches dies for the window and the Tile Garden stamp set for the leaves/stem.

This card involves die-cutting a window in the front layer of your card and reusing it on the inside scored White layer. You can catch on to how it opens in the above photo but it may help a lot if you watch the video here.

On the left card below I used a different set of dies for my window. First the Tile Garden dies to create a rectangle window. Yes; these dies are square…. so I cut a second time to create the rectangle window. The Gold textured frame is made with the Phrases & Frames dies seen here.

I fussy cut the gold/Secret Sea flower for the front layer. I love the images in the Tile Garden bundle; they have a texture to them.

I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial; I hope it helps you in understanding how this is done. It is much easier than it looks!

Expressions in Kindness kit is back! And the sale ends today!

October 31, 2024

The Expressions in Kindness card kit is gorgeous! Look at these stunning cards…..

Save

This beautiful kit has been out of stock for many weeks. I'm so glad it's back in time for the kit promotion. It was $23 and is now $20.70 but that price ends today! See it here.

The kit is meant to make 8 cards but one set of the card bases is printed on both sides. I couldn't waste it so I trimmed it to add to both White & Blackberry Bliss card bases. I did have to add two greeting labels to get 12 finished cards but that's all I added besides extra envelopes.

Save

Here are the other 2 sets of cards; I didn't change much.

Save

Our kits are all inclusive which means everything is included including a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, envelopes, gems, ribbon and adhesives.

Even though I consider myself an experienced stamper I love our kits. They give me a chance to create without a lot of prep or planning. They're great for gifts or last minute crafting.

Last of our Team swaps include a neat technique and a fun fold

October 30, 2024
Today I'm sharing the last three card swaps from my Team in October. Our theme was winter or Christmas.

First is Roxann's card. It's a Christmas village scene!

Save

She used the Yuletide Village stamp set seen here. She also used the Falling Snow background stamp; which she heat embossed with White powder.

She fussy cut all of these homes, church and trees! It's so pretty and real looking!

~~~

Next is a fantastic technique made by Tracey. You might think she used designer paper here…..

Save

It's not! She made her own stamped background using watercolor paper and three colors of ink. Here's how she did it:

She thoroughly wet the watercolor paper before stamping the snowflake images in the following inks: Pool Party (looks like green here), Balmy Blue & Boho Blue. When you stamp on the wet paper the ink travels and blends together but leaves a faint impression of the snowflake images sometimes. Simply gorgeous!

The snowflake die-cuts are from the Frozen Edges dies seen here. The greeting and snowflake images are from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here.

Measurements of the layers are as follows:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4", Textured white layer 5 3/8" X 4 1/8", greeting strip 5 1/2" X 1"
- Blue background is 4 1/8" X 3 1/4"
- Watercolor paper strips – left to right – 1/2" X 3 1/2", 3/4" X 3 1/2", 1" X 3 1/2" and 1 1/2" X 3 1/2"

Next is a pretty fun fold made by Rita.

Save

She used the Winter Meadow designer paper and the Encircled in Nature dies (seen here) for her trees. The front panel (White) is adhered to a flap that is part of the card base. It's a neat fold!

Her card base measures 11" X 4 1/4", score at 2 1/4" & 5 1/2". Then make a mark at 1" from the top and 1" from the bottom on the 2 1/4" score line. You'll trim off the outer portion and that creates a flap for the White layer which measures 3 1/4" X 2".

Thank you to all of my Flowerbug's for creating incredible cards for our October card swap. My gals are super talented!!
