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.

Easter Friends; simply adorable! Video tutorial included.

March 22, 2022
I chose the Easter Friends stamp set for one of our Club cards in March. It truly has adorable images! See it here.

I shared a few other projects during a recent Facebook Live. Click here to see it.

Look at this sweet bunny image!

Save

I stamped him/her in Smoky Slate and added a tiny bit of blush on his cheeks. I added a light line of Pool Party blends marker around the edge. The designer papers on this card include the Heart & Home and Hand Penned DSP's. These will likely be on the retiring list which comes out on Wednesday, March 23rd.

They could choose between the bunny or the duck. The duck is colored in with Blends markers; So Saffron & Pale Papaya. All greetings are from the Easter Friends stamp set; stamped in Basic Gray.

Save

Other details:
- Stitched Rectangles for the White & Pale Papaya stamped pieces
- Flower & Leaves punch for the large flower
- Bough punch for the little bitty tulips
- Brass Butterflies scattered around the duck or bunny; see them here
- I made a 'faux bow' by folding sheer Pool Party ribbon back and forth, adhering the folds with mini glue dots. No bulk!

Sentimental Swirls; a super fun stamp set with a Video for multiple card ideas!

March 21, 2022

I played with the Sentimental Swirls stamp set on last Tuesday's FB Live video. Honestly I didn't want to stop! This set is so friendly and easy to create with.

Save

Here I stamped the swirls and leaves first using Black Memento ink. I added the solid leaf image using Granny Apple Green. Then added texture with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

The flowers were stamped on scraps of White paper and colored in with Blends markers. I curled them a bit and added with mini dimensionals. The bird is fussy cut and added with Dimensionals.

The card on the left below features the dot coloring technique. I used the bullet tip of my Blends markers to color the flowers. Fun technique! Watch the video below to see it in action.

Save

This set coordinates beautifully with the Flowers & Leaves punch in the Annual Catalog.  Below you see both cards along with the coordinating stamp set & punch.

Save

I love that this stamp set includes outline & solid images to match.

Save

For the next card I again stamped the lovely swirl in Black Memento ink onto a scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Contours dies. I added a few sets of leaves here and there among the swirls. The flowers were stamped on a separate scrap of White and punched out.

Save

I sure love the greetings in this set! Versatile and such cute font.

Save

I also shared this cute card too. I stamped a scattered background on a piece of White CS before texturing it with the same Tasteful Textile embossing folder. It is my 'go to' choice for a simple texture.

Save

The color here is Polished Pink with bits of Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green & Coastal Cabana. The White tag is 2" X 3 1/4" & the smaller Polished Pink is 1 3/4" wide.

How to achieve the Floating Technique? Lots of examples!

March 18, 2022
Our current Team creative challenge for my Flowerbug's group is to make a card using the Floating Technique. It's a fun technique that uses a window sheet or transparency.

Here are some of mine I shared on a recent Facebook Live video you can see here.

This first one features Black & White with a 'pop' of color – Magenta Madness in this case. Magenta Madness is retiring next week!

Save

I used the Dandy Wishes dies and the Layering Circles dies here. I adhered a bunch of strips of the All Together designer paper to a window sheet, leaving space between them. I cut it out with the largest circle in the set and popped it up on a Gingham textured White layer.

I added die-cuts from the neat Dandy Wishes dies and a heat embossed image from the Garden Wishes stamp set. This set is in a bundle with the Dandy Wishes dies and on sale in March! See it here.

This next card features Misty Moonlight and the Abstract Beauty DSP. I cut the feathers from this pretty DSP that has touches of Gold on it using the Iconic dies seen here.

Save

For this card the window sheet is a simple rectangle. After adding the feathers I trimmed off the excess and added it to the card with mini dimensionals.

Other details:
- the greeting die-cuts are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here.
- The textured White layer is done with the Bark 3D embossing folder.
- That strip of gold & white strips is also from the Abstract Beauty DSP.
- Colors are Gold, White, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy
Next is a card done in purples – Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape.

Save

Details:
- Layering Circle & Amazing Thanks dies
- Greeting stamped from Special Moments SAB set
- Texture is Hive 3D folder seen here
- Basic Rhinestone jewels were colored purple with Blends markers
This next sample features the Artistic dies along with the SAB Simply Marbelous DSP.

Save

Colors are Basic Gray, White & Black; very monochromatic. The greeting is from Friendly Hello SAB set, heat embossed.

Tip; to adhere the finely cut die-cut pieces I used our Adhesive Sheets seen here. They're the best solution for these types of die-cuts.

Save

You can see how I achieved these cards on the link below; just click on the photo to watch.
