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

February 9, 2026

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.

Queen Anne’s Lace cards

September 26, 2020
I was playing with the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set and was in the mood for purple. I combined Gorgeous Grape with Purple Posy to make the card below.

There are just three pieces on this card but it looks like there's more! Sometimes you don't need to add an extra layer for the sentiment. You can stamp it on the main piece below the image usually divided by a ribbon. But this time I added the flower image on an additional layer of Purple Posy for an extra layered look.

This Queen Anne's Lace stamp set is one of two you get free this month when you purchase the Starter Kit. Read about that here! It's such a great deal with over $75 in free product! Pay just $99 and get $200! And FREE Shipping too!

I added a piece of the Brights DSP on the left. That tricolor ribbon sure brings it all together! Tying a knot and securing the ends in the back is easy and with soft ribbon there isn't a thick bump at all.

Measurements:
- Gorgeous Grape main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4"
- Purple Posy 2 3/4" X 3" tall
- Whisper White 4 1/4" X 3"
I also made this additional card on the right using a sketch I found. It's very similar but this time I stamped all on one layer and added a 3/4" strip of Playing with Patterns Designer paper between the main image and the greeting. Easy!

Hopefully these easy cards inspire you to stamp this week. Using two shades of the same color sure makes it easy to choose colors! Think of blues, pinks, greens, etc.

Life is Beautiful Halloween card; masking & bats galore!

September 25, 2020
Fall is in the air around here in North Dakota. Each week it's getting cooler, the leaves are changing and it's getting dark so early! That means Halloween is coming soon!

I was creating squares for a Halloween framed sampler for a Team swap (see this post) and had an extra one. So I decided to create a card with it.

Save

To make the square I first stamped the tree image from Life is Beautiful onto a 2 3/4" piece of White CS using Smoky Slate ink. Then I used a 1 1/2" mask over the center and sponged on Pretty Peacock ink. Next I placed the window/mask over the sponged area and added Cajun Craze ink in the 'hole' to create the moon. It's layered onto a 2 7/8" piece of Whisper White CS.

Other details:
- The bats are fussy cut from the Magic in This Night Designer paper. I did sponge the edges with Black ink.
- The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set and is on a Tasteful Labels die-cut.
- The main card is Cajun Craze and the designer paper strip is 2" X 5 1/2"
I can't wait for you to see the amazing Halloween samplers tomorrow!
