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!

Happy Thoughts Fun Fold cards kit to go; opt in by the 18th!

January 12, 2021

Lately I've been offering two different pre-cut card kits each month. I'm finding so many great products to feature; I cannot help it! And I like offering a variety of options for my customers.

Did you notice the Happy Thoughts stamp set in the new Spring catalog? It's filled with beautiful greetings; something many of us cannot get enough of. So I created a group of 8 fun fold cards around this set. Look!

Save

I also decided to use the Happy Blooms designer paper; I love the colors & patterns so much. This paper is free with any $50 online order from now through February 28th. See it here.

Here are two unique cards in this kit. Remember you get two of each in the kit; one to keep for ideas and one to send.

January’s Card Kits to go; 1st is True Love black & white with pops of color!

January 11, 2021
I was so happy when I saw the True Love designer paper in the new Spring Catalog. I absolutely LOVE black & white prints in our papers! I find it's the most versatile to use since you can add ANY COLOR you want to it and Black and White makes it POP!

Save

If you like to fussy cut or color you'll fall in love with this pretty paper.

Look at these pretty cards! And you can color the floral images with markers OR fussy cut them out to add beautiful detail to the cards.

Save

I created 5 cards; two of each design for a total of 10 cards. Three of the five designs are unique fun folds too. *see photo below

You'll receive all pre-cut, punched & die-cut pieces, 1/2 package of True Love Designer paper (6" X 12"), black glittered ribbon, Black matte gems and a share of 2020-22 In Color enamel dots so you can finish these cards at home.

I chose to use the Vine Design stamp set since it's full of a wide variety of greetings and the lovely vine and floral images too. You can add on either the stamp set or bundle at an extra 10%! It fits in the package and costs nothing extra in shipping costs. And if you do you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration choice also.

I used Black, Real Red and Just Jade inks. Remember you'll stamp your own images.
