Unique Charming Day fun fold card with video tutorial

I shared this cool fancy fold card on last week’s Live video.  It looks like an ordinary card at first glance… 

Save

I colored the main floral image with a Wink of Stella and ink from my ink pads.  Watch the video to see how it’s done.

I featured the Floral Charm DSP that’s discounted right now during the In Color promotion.  See it here. It’s almost $2 off.  My favorite thing about it is the color coordination. Each pattern has a soft, matching back side.

Save

I also used the Charming Day bundle that coordinates with the DSP.  See that here. 

Here’s how the card opens.  I’m calling it a double diagonal center fold card. The center stays in place but the outer triangles lift up and to the outside as shown below.

I have a complete project sheet for you with measurements, directions, supplies and photos.  The video tutorial will help you understand how to assemble this card; see it below.  Click on the following link to print or download this project sheet: Download Double Diagonal Center fold cards

• Quick & Easy Shaker card with free project sheet & video

  December 4, 2024

  ---

  On last week's video I created two types of shaker cards. Today's project is the easy version. It uses one of our A2 size clear envelopes to hold the shaker pieces.

  I used the Snowy Scenes designer series paper seen here.  It fits perfectly into one of our clear envelopes seen here. After I add the loose shaker pieces on top of the DSP I fold the envelope over and seal it in the back before adding it to a cardstock layer. It's so easy!

  My colors are Real Red with Garden Green.  I heat embossed the greeting from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The ribbon is our sheer silver ribbon from the Annual catalog. The shaker pieces include the loose White snowflakes in the Holiday catalog along with two other types of retired loose sequins.  

  Below is a photo of both shaker cards I shared in the video below.  

  Here's the free project sheet; click on the following link to download or print it. Download Easy Snowy Scenes Shaker card

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Click on the video below to see how it's made.  I also share a second type of shaker card that's even easier!  I hope you watch and follow me on both YouTube and my Facebook page.
