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!

Winter Wishes & Abundant Beauty masks fun fold card; free tutorial & video!

October 26, 2023

Today's project was inspired by my Team member Candace who made this cool fun fold card for a recent swap.

Save

Isn't it neat! She featured the Beary Cute bundle on her card in Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate & Pretty Peacock.

My favorite part of her card is that it's quite easy to make! I knew my followers would like to know how to make it so I shared it on a recent video (seen below).

I used similar colors but chose the Magical Meadow stamp set & the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks seen here.

Save

I used a blending brush, Lost Lagoon ink and the snowflake mask to create my card front. After adding the pretty snowflakes I textured it with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

It's a mini slim line card; the finished size is 3" X 5 1/2". I just love the fun of the popped up panels inside!

My friend Lyssa Zwolenek inspired these cards and created the template too. She is super creative and so great about sharing ideas!

Below are a few cutting templates for you.

Save

Watch the video here or below to see how this is done.

Directions:
- You'll start out with a 6" square of designer paper.
- First cut is at 2". You're left with a 4" X 6" piece on the right.
- Cut the 2" strip into a 2" X 4" piece, leaving you with a 2" square.
- Next cut the 4" X 6" piece on the right into three 2" X 4" pieces.
Save

See this gorgeous Snowflake Magic specialty paper here.
- Now you'll cut each 2" X 4" strip into two pieces by cutting it in half on the diagonal.
- Be sure you cut each one in the same direction.
- Cut the 2" square in half on the diagonal and then cut each triangle in half. These pieces are used on the inside of the card.
You'll use 4 of the large pieces and two small triangles on each card.

Beautiful cards made with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit!

October 24, 2023

I created these pretty cards with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit. It's meant to be used as an advent calendar but I thought they'd make great Christmas cards.

Save

I will not be surprised if this kit sells out soon. It's gorgeous! The envelopes for the advent calendar are approximately 3" X 4"; a good size to add a treat inside.

Save

I added Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler card bases, some textured strips of the same colors and a few greetings.

The greetings mostly cover up the numbers printed on the wood & gold paper elements in the kit.

For greetings I used the Brightest Glow (annual catalog) and Beary Cute (Holiday catalog) along with circle punches and Tailored Tags dies.

We made these projects at my October Flowerbug's Team meeting. So pretty but super easy!

You could make up to 25 cards using this kit just by adding card bases, a few layers and greetings. The red adhesive-backed sequins, Dimensionals, Cherry Cobbler and craft twine all comes in the kit.

Save

See this kit here online. Our Christmas kits can sell out quick; so don't wait too long. You never know if it will be back in time for Christmas.

The kits is gorgeous as an advent project as well! It also includes the cutest clothespins to close the envelopes.
