I shared this super cute fun fold card on last week's Live video. It has lots of layers but it's so easy to make!

Save

Besides the bright, happy holiday colors in the Take a Bow DSP I love that this fun fold uses your cardstock efficiently. Each diagonally cut card base is one half of an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of CS. I forgot to take a photo of this aspect but I do share it in the video seen here.

Below is a photo that shows how it opens and the pocket available for the optional gift card.

Save

My colors include Real Red & Garden Green with White. The diagonal layers are also easy to do. Start with a rectangle and cut it in half on the diagonal making sure you cut it to match the diagonal.

My greeting & White die-cut is from the Christmas Labels bundle which is on the Last Chance list right now. See it here.

The Red die-cut is from Greetings of the Season dies and the pine bough die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops and made from the Festive Glimmer paper.

Save

I added a double bow made from Red & White Baker's Twine and Peppermint dots that are currently unavailable but will return at the end of December. *They are NOT on the Last Chance list so they should be available for awhile!

I created a free project sheet you can print or download for this fun fold card. Click on the following link to get it. Download Take a Bow November 2024

Below is the video I made for this card and another super quick fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper! I hope you watch and make some.

Poetic Petals in a soft color combination

September 18, 2026

If you like soft and subtle colors here’s a pretty color combination using two of our newest In Colors – Barely Blush with Crisp Cantaloupe.

Save

The color combination is inspired by the beautiful Bloom Boutique specialty designer series paper seen here. It has bit of gold foil and includes all of our newest In Colors.

The unique Poetic Petals bundle seen here is what I used for the dies and greetings. Note the textured background and ribbon knot!

Save

It’s the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s temporarily out of stock but should be back in a week or so. To achieve this ribbon knot simply tie one color of ribbon around the other and trim the ends. Add with a mini glue dot.
The greeting tag is not current; it was among my stash of die-cuts and seemed to fit perfectly here.

Save

I shared the left card above yesterday. I used the basic layout but changed the cards for one landscape and one vertical. As you can see the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP includes pretty color combinations of our newest In Colors. Love it!

Thanks for stopping in today; I hope these pretty cards inspired you.

Pretty Poetic Petals cards

September 17, 2026

Today I’m sharing a few cards made with the unique Poetic Petals bundle. I was inspired by my friend and team member Karen. She paired it with the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP and I loved her idea. I’ll share her card next week.

Save

I used Hydrangea Hue with Peaceful Pine and White. Once I die-cut the flower frame I added it to a Peaceful Pine CS square; then add to the layered card front.

See the Poetic Petals bundle here. The dies are awesome and just look at the great greetings in the stamp set! It’s a must have for me.

Save

You likely notice the ribbon knot; it’s fun to tie one color of ribbon around the other to match the color combo! Try it yourself!

Save

And notice the background texture? That is the new Rustic Check 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s out of stock but should be back sometime this week.

Save

I’ll share the other card made with the Poetic Petals bundle tomorrow. Stay tuned!
