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!

Neat Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team

June 22, 2023
Our Team gathering and swap was this past weekend and our theme was to use designer paper.

This first card was made by Marla and features the Countryside Inn DSP.

Save

It looks like an ordinary gatefold card, but it's not! It latches closed with the heart & leaf punches on the right side!

Measurements are as follows:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 3" and 8 1/2"
- Designer paper is 2 3/4" X 4" on the left and 2 1/4" X 4" on the right. *same on the inside
Save

It's hard to tell in the photo but the top right corner of the large, layered die-cut catches under the punched pieces on the upper right of the card base. So cool and smart! I love it when a fun fold card stays closed easily.

She featured the Countryside Inn designer paper seen here. If you love blues, you need this pretty paper! And it's on sale in June – down from $12.50 to $10.62 now.

She also added more of the pretty paper inside her card.

Save

Next is a sweet card by Candy – (see what I did there?) She featured the Zoo Crew designer paper and Zany Zoo bundle. She colored each of those flowers with a Blends marker!

Save

It's a 'book-binding' card fold. Start out with a 4 1/4" X 11" card base; score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". You'll adhere the 'binding' area down so the card opens at the 4 1/4" score line.

Her coloring is beautiful; I believe she used Blends markers.

The embossing folder is the Countryside Blossoms and the stitched circles and banner are from the Stylish Shapes dies.

I'll share more team swaps tomorrow!

Here is another fun fold card I made on last week's Tuesday video. If you'd like to watch me live, join me on Tuesday's at 11 am CT here on Facebook or see them later on my YouTube channel here.

This card features the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper and a favorite card theme of 'Black & White with a pop of color'.

Save

The pretty floral paper sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic DSP chose the color theme. I fussy cut one of the flowers from the designer paper to add to my stitched circle die-cut. I mimicked the dots in the DSP and used the Dots & Spots die on a piece of the Fresh Freesia card stock.

This Delightfully Eclectic designer paper is on sale now in June. See it here.

The measurements are listed in the photo below.

Here are all three of the cards I share in the video. Scroll down a bit or watch it here.
