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.

Creative Cards Simple Sketch #CC2

February 22, 2021

Get inspired by sketches! You can find them everywhere online; especially on Pinterest. Just search for card sketches and you'll be amazed at the great layouts you'll come up with.

I've started a weekly challenge with my Flowerbug's Team where I share a card sketch or color challenge. I'm calling them Creative Cards or #CC. Here's the one we did last week:

Save

And here's the card I came up with.

Save

I chose to use the Playing with Patterns designer paper and a new product that's coming out to everyone in March. It's called Butterfly Bouquet and it has gorgeous Designer Paper and a beautiful stamp & dies bundle. The stamp & dies will be out in the upcoming 2021 Annual Catalog in May. But they're releasing it early in March!

Demonstrators can order it now in February. On the card above I used mostly the DSP with just one purple die-cut. The greeting is from one of my favorite greeting sets; Happy Thoughts.

Fun Origami Folded Window cards for FB Live Monday!

February 19, 2021

Have you made an origami folded window? They're so easy to do! I'll be making cards like these on Monday night's FB Live 'Stamp with Me' here.

How does 'Stamp with Me' work? I share the projects a few days before the Live to give you time to prep your pieces. You use the paper, stamps & ink you have to stamp right along with me!

Save

You'll start with a 4" square of Designer Paper. I chose to use the Berry Delightful paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Then you draw an X in the center. Do this by placing a ruler from corner to corner. Draw a line. Do the same once more on the other corners. This X is where you will bring the DSP point up to. Press well and then fold back the tip to the fold. Do this on all corners!

Save

It looks like the tip hangs off the corner but it doesn't. I added a layer to some of these measuring 3" square. If you add a stamped layer inside that is 2 3/4" square.

Save

The stamps are from the Berry Blessings stamp set; it comes with this super fun designer paper in a bundle. It's FREE with a $100 order through February 28th. If you place an order to earn this bundle you'll also receive a free 10 cards kit from me for my 12 X 12" one sheet wonder. See it here.

Seashells fun fold card; wow!

February 18, 2021
Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap.

Save

I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea! She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder.

Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper. This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here.

Save

That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here.

Measurements:
- Gray Granite 8 1/2" X 5 1/4" and trim off 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" on the upper left front. Front is 4" X 2 3/4"
- Pearlescent paper is also 4" X 2 3/4"
- Blushing Bride 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" inside, 2 7/8" X 4 1/8" front
- Vanilla inside is 2 3/4" X 4"
*Remember that if you have a nice wish list February is a great time to whittle it down! You can choose to order as a customer and earn free Sale-a-Bration items or get the Starter Kit option and get 25% off a $125 order. And then get 20% off all further purchases!
