Unique Charming Day fun fold card with video tutorial

August 25, 2025

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

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.

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

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another super neat fun fold card; both featuring this beautiful paper and Charming Day bundle.

Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial

January 29, 2024
I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!

Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video:

Save

I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card. The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper.

I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color.

Save

More Details:
- I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture!
- Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer. This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper.
- I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.
