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!

All About Autumn Accordion Fold card

September 25, 2023
Check out this beautiful swap card Karen made with the All About Autumn Designer series paper:

Save

That pretty greeting is from the Autumn Leaves stamp set; the die is from the Timeless Greetings bundle. This beautiful designer paper (All About Autumn seen here) is not currently available. It will be back in later October though.

The card front doesn't look at all like it might be a fun fold does it? But check this out!

It's called an Accordion fold and she cased this card idea from Sue Campfield. The designer paper on the front is most of the card front; it's adhered to a small layer of card stock though. *You can see the back of the designer paper front on the photo below.

She did an awesome job on the inside of the card; so many layers and textures galore! The texture is from the new Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder seen here.

The scattered leaf Rose Gold foil die-cuts and gorgeous DSP are so pretty.

Beautiful Fall swap card projects

September 22, 2023
I shared quite a few of my Team swap cards yesterday and today are three more beauties!

But first, did you know the Clearance Rack was updated this week with LOTS more fabulous deals?!

Shop the updated Clearance Rack here:

Save

First up is a beautiful card made by Jacki featuring the Sending Smiles set seen here and the Sending dies seen here

Save

I always love to see out of the box colors for the Autumn season. She used Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow and Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry. The background designer paper is the Inked Botanicals from the Annual catalog.

What a gorgeous bouquet of flowers she created.

Next is Marla's card – she also used the Inked Botanicals designer paper. She also used the Cottage Wreaths stamp set seen here on her main layer.

Save

The colors include Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral – all featured in her designer paper.

Measurements:
- Vanilla card base 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" for stamped front panel
- Crushed Curry 3" X 5 1/4" plus 3" X 4" for front panel layer & 1" X 5 1/4" inside
- Designer paper 2 3/4" X 5"
Ginny made this last card using the Natural Prints set and Nature's Prints dies seen on page 24 of the annual catalog.

Save

She cased this card from Mitusu Crafts; she inked her clear blocks directly in our classic inks and stamped directly onto her card stock. She heat embossed the 'splotches' using Copper embossing powder.

There are so many awesome details here – the colors are Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock and Pebbled Path. I love the greeting shape – cut by hand I believe.
