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

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.

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

• Fabulous 1 sheet box for A2 cards with a free project sheet & video too!

  March 4, 2024

  ---

  I shared the coolest box on last week's video. It is made from 1 sheet of designer paper!

  It fits six A2 sized cards and envelopes inside. It's the perfect way to gift cards to someone. 

  I used the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper for the box and the cards too.  Of course Sale-a-Bration is now over but hopefully you ordered this beautiful paper.  If not you can substitute any other designer paper.

  I created a free project sheet for this easy box and the cards too!  See it below. There's also a template for it but it will help you to watch the video too.  Click here to watch it. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

  Each of the cards are an easy fun fold layout.  I'll share measurements here too but they are included in the project sheet too.

  This first one is a fun version of a book-binding card fold. Just add one more piece of card stock and you have a whole new card layout!

  Measurements: Petal Pink card 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". 2nd piece is 3 1/4" X 4", White inside 2" X 4". DSP – large panel is 3" X 4", left is 1" X 4" & right is 2" X 4"

  This next card has the designer paper as the card front; attached to the front flap. Love this and how you can see both sides of our pretty paper!

  Measurements: Poppy Parade card 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". DSP – 1 piece at 3/4" X 5 1/2", 1 piece at 4" X 5 1/2". Petal Pink CS is 4" X 1"

  This is a great fold that uses the trimmed off card base as the front panel. Love this one!!

  See how I decorated my envelopes to match the cards!  This really elevates your projects and makes them extra special. 

  Measurements: Pool Party cards – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4". DSP 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"

  Below is the video you can watch.  I share a second version of this box & cards using the Softly Sophisticated designer paper. I'll share details on this box & cards tomorrow.

  There will be over 20 brand new products in the Online Exclusives offering!  There are two adorable new designer papers, many new stamps sets & bundles plus an embossing folder and new gems. *these are available while supplies last.

  Today I'm sharing a card I created for an online card swap. It features the new A Little Latte designer paper and a new stamp bundle called The Little Things.

  Details:

  • My colors include Lost Lagoon, Early Espresso, White & Pecan Pie.
  • The Little Things stamp set features a few larger words – outline & solid images plus many smaller greetings that fit the banner dies in the bundle. 
  • I stamped the coffee splatters background in Versamark ink
  • The coffee cups are fussy cut
  • Measurements: DSP is 4 1/2" X 2 1/4", Espresso layer 4 3/4" X 2 1/2", Pecan Pie strip 1 3/4" X 4 1/4", White greeting is 4 3/4" X 3/4" 

  There are a few sheets of the A Little Latte designer paper that feature cups of coffee.  I used both types on my cards below fussy cutting them.  I actually enjoy fussy cutting easy images out.

  The above photo shows the new Happy Little Things bundle – it has two new banner dies that coordinate with the smaller greetings in the set.  I was surprised at how easy it was to stamp the solid 'Celebrate' to match the outline image. Out of all of  my 16 cards I only had to stamp one over.

  These were fun cards to make for a swap; cute but not too time consuming!

• Sale-a-Bration ends today!! How many critters can you make with the Cutest Cow bundle?!

  On last week's video I shared how to make a fun cow card and a pig too. Today I'll share the sheep version!

  I decided to use a Pool Party card base to coordinate with the Sunny Days designer paper. The Deckled circle dies are an easy way to create a cute card.  The greeting is from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set seen here.  Both the DSP & stamps are still available for FREE with any $50 purchase in our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  I'm so sad this promotion ends today!

  I used the adorable Cutest Cow bundle here.

  I wanted to use puff paint for the fuzzy sheep body & the top of her head but it's not currently part of our products so I used the punch and punched a bunch of white pieces to add for her fur. In hindsight I should have used a cotton ball – pulling it apart and adding thin bits of it with glue.  That would have been much easier!
