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!

There’s a new Product of the Month for September.

It’s called Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer paper and can be seen here. It’s yours for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 point.

There is also a few new kits in our Kit Collection too. You can see it all here!

More Christmas card ideas from the Holiday Catalog by my Team

October 25, 2024

This is the third batch of Christmas card swaps I've shared – all made by my talented Flowerug's Team.

First up today is an adorable card made by Candy. She used the Snowy Wonder bundle seen here in the Holiday catalog.

Save

I adore her color combination of Pool Party with Real Red & White. It's one of my favorites for the holidays. She stamped her snowflake background. The snow globe is stamped with the Falling Snow background stamp.

She added tons of layers and textures here! From the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder to her die-cuts, greetings and snowflake embellishments. So much detail!!

Here's the inside view. This greeting is from the Peaceful Season stamp set.

Next is a sweet & simple card made by Karen.

Save

Her greeting is from the Peaceful Season bundle. She chose to feature the nostalgic Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.

Save

This pretty paper is one of the frequent 'give back's' that Stampin' Up! does each year. They are donating $3 to children's literacy programs around the world for each pack they sell.

~~~

Mary also chose to use this same DSP on her card. Another simple but neat way to make your designer paper the star of the card. Her colors are Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler & Vanilla.

Save

There are still more swaps left to share; stay tuned!

3 great fun fold ideas from my Team swaps

October 24, 2024
You're going to love these fancy fold cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for this month's swap. I shared a few others yesterday and here are three more:

Lori made this cute 'gift box' card.

Save

She used the Take a Bow DSP seen here and the Peaceful Christmas dies too. She wrote the 'Merry' greeting by hand. It's like a pocket card except the top is a fold that pulls up the inside like this:

Save

Measurements:
- DSP 2 pieces of each at 3 7/8" X 4 1/2" (striped), Red is 1 1/8" X 4 1/2"
- Real Red 4 1/4" X 2" score in half at 1" (poke two holes for threading ribbon), 3" X 4 1/4" inside pocket
- White 2 3/4" X 4" inside pocket layer
- scraps for die-cuts
Next is a sweet card made by Joan who did make a pocket card!

Save

She used the Christmas Friends stamp set (seen here) along with the Deckled Circle dies. Isn't her coloring fabulous? She has a knack for coloring with the Blends markers.

Next is an adorable card made by Sharon who chose the Sweetest Star bundle and also used the Take a Bow DSP.

Save

She scored her colored Santa from center to each point and added it to the inside of her punched star window with two stacked dimensionals in the center. Love this idea! See the Sweetest Star bundle here.

Save

Check back tomorrow for more Team swaps!

Get great ideas from our Team Christmas card swaps made with Online Exclusives

October 23, 2024

Today I'm sharing a few cards made by my Team for our October card swap. The theme was winter or Christmas. And both of these cards feature Online Exclusive products! If you haven't shopped these items yet you're missing a huge selection of products! Click here to see them all.

Paula's card is made with the Iconic Imagery bundle. I cannot believe the amount of die-cutting she did on her cards; she made 14 of these!

Save

Isn't it incredible?! Besides all of the small stamps she die-cut she also cut out nine 1" stitched squares per card! Wowsers!

Here's the adorable bundle below. Click here to see it in my store. I love the many images and the greeting labels a lot.

Save

Her gingham designer paper is also on Online Exclusive. I honestly cannot believe we haven't fun out of stock on this one. It's called Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper. See it here.

See that cute greeting & die-cut? They're both in the Iconic Imagery bundle.

Save

Next is a beautiful sled card made by Deloris. Isn't this stunning? Did you notice she used the same gingham designer paper that Paula did above? It's the Green & Gold Specialty DSP.

Save

She featured the Sophisticated Sled bundle seen here. You can find it in our Online Exclusives. It's a gorgeous set of stamps & dies. I especially love the sled made from wood DSP and gold foil. And those skates and laces are incredible!!

Save

Check back tomorrow for more Team swaps!
