Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video


We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

More details:

  • I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
  • We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
  • The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
  • The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.

  • Check out these projects featuring Clearance Rack deals


    There are quite a few amazing deals on the Clearance Rack now and I thought I'd highlight a few of my favorites:  

    First is the beautiful Splendid Thoughts stamp set for just $16 and the coordinating Splendid Stem dies for just $8.25. I shared these projects last year: 


    I am surprised that the stamp set and dies are both there along with the pretty Soft Seafoam ribbon and the Open Leaf Trinkets. *Both are now just $1.25! Click on the blue highlighted words to see these items in the Clearance Rack.

    Next is the Leaves of Holly stamp set.  It was $22 and is now just $15.25 on clearance. 

    I created these beautiful Christmas cards on a video last year.  

    I call it the 5 at a time technique.  You stamp one sheet of neutral paper and then cut it into 5 pieces using my template below.  And the neat thing is the layers under the stamped White card stock are also cut using a template. Just 2 sheets of card stock to make 5 card fronts!  *Watch the video below or click here. 


    See how I stamped down the center of the White card stock on the photo above?  Next I cut it using the template below: 

    The first template is what you stamp on.  The one below is for the layers under the stamped pieces. It's just 1/8" larger for a nice thin layered accent.  

    Next is the template for the colored layers on each stamped layer.  

    Watch the video below to see how it's done.  Think about your favorite stamp sets and how fast you can create beautiful cards using these templates!

  • Pinwheel Tower Fancy Fold card with video & free projects sheet!


    Here's another card we made at my July Card Clubs.  I always try to feature one fun fold card and this was a doozy!  

    When they saw the many pieces they were a bit worried it would be hard.  But as we made it together they loved it!  Be sure to watch the video here or below; it's so much easier than it looks!  

    This card is super fun to play with; it reminds me of a 'never ending' card.  You can turn and turn it and see something new each time. But the finished card lays flat and is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" so it fits nicely in an envelope.  

    Besides the Gorgeously Made stamp set (seen here) I chose the Layering Leaves (seen here) for the pretty greetings and leaf images. 

    I chose to feature the Countryside Inn designer series paper seen here with it's many shades of Blue.  I chose to use Night of Navy and White card stock, Navy and Boho Blue inks. 

    You can find the measurement, photos, directions and supplies list here on this free project sheet. Download July 23 Pinwheel Tower card

    Each of the 4 panels of Navy card stock is adhered to the center 'tower' made from a 4 1/4" square of designer paper. Once you have your card base created it's simple to add the 6 pieces of DSP and your stamped panels. 

    I also used the Radiating Stitches dies seen here (online exclusive) and the Stylish Shapes dies for the greeting.  The ribbon is the Night of Navy 3/8" bordered ribbon.

  • Gorgeously Made with a neat background technique & video tutorial


    I shared this card as part of my Tuesday Live video last week.  I was featuring the Gorgeously Made bundle.  Check out the background! 

    I focused on creating a pretty, textured background under the main image. Here are the steps:

    1. I first stamped the foliage image with Boho Blue ink onto Boho Blue card stock.
    2. Next I textured it with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. (It's one of my favorite folders.)
    3. Lastly I dragged my White Craft ink pad over the texture. Tip: use a very light touch or ensure your ink pad is a little bit dry. I LOVE the look of this so much!  

    I used the same foliage image for the inside of the card as I did the pretty background, stamping once in full strength Boho Blue ink and stamping again without reinking.  

    I stamped the other large leafy image from the Gorgeously Made set on the Countryside Corners white die-cut. I added the print image a few times in second generation Boho Blue ink (this means stamped off once). It's layered on a Navy die-cut before adding to the card base.  

    The greeting is heat embossed on Navy using White embossing powder. The die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies – my go-to dies for greetings. 

    There's just something special about a monochromatic card; this time in blues.  If you're going for an elegant or cohesive look try using just one color in varying hues.  Greens, blues and browns are some of my favorite choices.  

    Click here or on the photo below to watch the video.  It's the first project featured; the other is a super fun 'fancy fold' card.
