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!

A WOW fun fold card with Dragonfly Dreams!

March 15, 2021
This weekend my Flowerbug's Team held our monthly card swap & Team gathering. Our theme was window cards and I'll be sharing them all week long!

Check out this special Z fold card Jacki made!

Her colors are Terracotta Tile, Black & White and the Dandy Garden Designer paper seen here. Did you know that the Dragonfly Punch coordinates with this Designer Paper? She punched her dragonflies directly out of the paper! No stamping for these at all! See the Dragonfly Garden bundle here.

Check out the whole suite of products here.

This card features almost two full card bases with just a few score lines. It looks a lot harder than it is.
- Terracotta Tile – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Whisper White – front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside fold is 5 1/4" X 8" scored on the long edge at 4" X 6".
- Designer paper – 1 3/4" X 5"
Her 'window' in the front is 2 3/8" and the black circle on the inside fold is the same. The White greeting circle is 2 1/8". All of these circles are cut with the Circle dies in the Annual Catalog.

Steps to assemble this card:
- You'll adhere the White front to the main card base and then cut your window.
- Stamp on the inside White card before adhering to the inside of the main card.
- Add the Designer paper to the inside fold.
- Die-cut the greeting circles and adhere together.
- Fold the card closed and add the circle to the inside fold 'through' the front window. Perfect placement!

Create gorgeous backgrounds with just a few common stamping items! Video tutorial!

March 12, 2021

On Tuesday's FB live I shared a fun and easy technique for gorgeous backgrounds. Once you create them you can use them to create stunning, beautiful cards like these:

Save

This was my first try at this technique this week. Honestly it's not a new technique at all but I hadn't done it for years! The stamp set is called Soar Confidently (seen here) and I hadn't used it yet. I think it works wonderfully with a pretty background.

I used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point Stampin' Write markers on an E block and spritzed with plain water. Then 'stamp' on our Basic White CS and let dry with the block on it (this prevents warping). Then stamp on it with any black ink.

Here are a few more samples I shared:

The left card above features the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the right is the Floating & Fluttering set.

See what I mean? And it's fun too! Each time you do it they turn out differently so it's kind of addicting! Watch the video below to see how easy it can be.

Gorgeous Butterflies with the Brilliant Wing dies

March 11, 2021

I was playing around with these dies and came up with these striking colored butterflies.

Save

I used the designer paper as a template to sponge through. This is what's left after you use the Brilliant Wings dies to cut out the 6 butterflies. Although in hindsight I should have sponged on the other side so the die fit. It was upside down on the die; I had to hold it up to the light to get the die placed correctly.

Save

I added a piece of White CS behind these butterflies and used the Stitched with Whimsy dies to add that pretty stitched edge. See those here.

Click on the image below to see these items in my store. Remember this designer paper is available through May 3rd or while supplies last.

Save

The greeting is from the Vine Design stamp set on a 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade card stock.
