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!

Awesome fundraiser last weekend!

December 19, 2022

Last Saturday we held a big fundraiser for two of my favorite local charitable organizations here in Minot, ND. It was an amazing success because of the many donations & volunteers.

I kept feeling a nudge to do this and I knew my friends & community would join in. I was thrilled with the many people that helped pull it off.

We raised over $3400 in sales towards these charitable organizations. Woo hoo!

We focused on baked and craft items at our sale hoping to help people with their Holiday baking & gift giving. A local church offered us their Parish Hall to hold it. Here are some pictures of our goods.

We had an amazing group of donations. We were asked by many if we would do it again next year; and I sure hope we can!

Here's a little information on these two organizations:

Hairball Haven is a local feline rescue that takes in homeless kittens and cats, provide veterinary care, immunizations, spays or neuters and houses them until they find new, loving homes. They currently have over 100 in house & in foster homes. An average vet bill is $20,000. They're amazing and I'm so happy to help support them. My granddaughter Eliza loves to volunteer there when she's in town. Here's a link to their FB page and donation link.

Matthew 25 Project is the other wonderful organization we donated to. They are a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost. My friend Melissa started this in Minot and 1000's of people have benefited from their generousity. It's run by volunteers but they do have rent, gas and heat bills. Here's a link to their FB page.

I love this time of year when everyone feels the need to give to others.

Kindest Gnomes ‘Fancy Feet’ card; so cool!

December 16, 2022

We made this FUN Gnomes card at my December card clubs. I also shared it on my Tuesday FB Live here.

Save

You might ask, why is it fun? Well the gnomes feet wiggle. I call them 'fancy feet'. It features the Kindest Gnomes bundle. Unfortunately the stamp set has sold out. The dies are carrying over into January because we are getting a NEW Gnome stamp set in the Spring catalog. It will coordinate with the current Gnomes dies. See the dies here.

Here's what the inside of the card looks like. I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set. I like that this stamp set has greetings for winter or New Years.

Save

Below is the back of the assembled gnome and shows how the swinging feet work. The 'nose' is cut from a small rectangle of Blushing Bride and that oval is how you 'hang' the feet so they swing. It's not adhered at all. This entire piece is adhered to the Designer Paper layer; it's adhered with just two Dimensionals.

Save

Isn't it fun! I hope you watch the video to see how easy this is to make. Even if you don't have the gnomes set I'm sure you could make something else 'swing' like a greeting or other critters.

This card is included in one of my December card kits to go featuring the Storybook Gnomes designer paper. This kit has sold out now; but you can see others in my shop here.

Which one do you like better?

I don't think I shared these cards yet; they're made with the pretty Framed Florets bundle seen here. It's part of the Fitting Florets collection. The bundle will return in the Spring catalog in January.

Save

It is currently available along with the pretty Fitting Florets designer paper. This paper is available while supplies last or through January 4th.

For the card below I stamped the floral and leaf images in Black Memento ink and colored them in with Blends markers. The colors are Fresh Freesia with Granny Apple Green.

Save

The sentiment on the Black oval is heat embossed with White embossing powder. I love the striking look of white on black!

Save

The next card uses the same sentiment and more of the Framed Florets dies including the pretty leaves.

Details:
- The embossing folder is the Whimsical Woodland 3D seen here; it's on sale for $4 while supplies last.
- The Cherry Cobbler frame die-cut is cut from the Festive Foils specialty paper seen here; it's also discounted from $10 to $4, while supplies last.
- Colors include Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, White & Cherry Cobbler.
- I colored the White crinkled ribbon with a Cherry Cobbler Blends marker. I love using Blends markers to color my ribbons!
