I put this card together using the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack. The Pack is full of beautiful Mixed Media paterns, including florals and graphics. It coordinates with the Mixed Media Florals Suite. The Memories & More Card Packs are designed for memory keeping. They’re easy to use to create card designs and 3D projects.
I thought it would be fun to put together a quick Fun Fold design using the cards, and share a PDF Tutorial with you. You can download the Tutorial, use the cutting dimensions, your favorite patterned paper, and create your custom card designs.
This fun fold has been around for a while. I’m calling it an “H-Front Flap” Fun Fold. The photo above shows the card after you lift the front flap.
The card below shows the inside of the card, including the writing layer.
You can download the Tutorial below. Have fun with it!
Hello, and I’m sending much love to all of you wonderful Mom’s. Happy Mother’s Day!
Here’s a quick and easy Fun Fold card featuring the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Paper Pack has three sheets of double-sided designs. There are floral and greenery designs on one side, and all-purpose patterns on the other. It also includes three sheets of die-cut elements that you can use on cards or to frame photos on scrapbook pages. As a fun plus, some of the die-cuts are sized to fit card fronts. This makes it easy to create quick, beautiful cards.
Frames & Flowers DSP Pack – #163765
The Frames & Flowers DSP is on pages 28 and 29 of the new Catalog. The samples in the catalog showcase pretty packaging and tags. I thought it would be fun to create this Front Flap Fun Fold design. It showcases two sides of one of the sheets of the Designer Series Paper, die cut elements, and is quick and easy to complete.
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
I cut a Peach Pie cardstock card base 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.
The Designer Series Paper layer is 12″ x 5 1/4″.
Score the patterned paper at 2″, 4″, 8″, and 10″.
Make a small pencil mark on each side of the scored pattern paper layer at 3 1/8″ down from the top.
Cut diagonally from the second score line at the top to the 3 1/8″ pencil mark on each side of the patterned paper.
Cut diagonally from the 3 1/8″ mark to the second score line at the bottom on each sice of the patterned paper.
Take a look at the cutting diagram below. Note that this diagram is not to scale.
Fold the patterned paper layer as follows: First score line is a mountain fold, second score line is a valley fold, third is a valley fold and the last score line is a mountain fold.
Adhere the center portion of the DSP layer to the card base.
Adhere the Basic White writing layer to the center of the DSP layer.
Embellish the the card with the coordinating die cuts and add your sentiment layer.
You can download and print a PDF version of the instructions for this card here, or click the blue button below.
This card is one of many designs you can create using the Frames and Flowers Specialty DSP. For more card making alternatives for this pretty patterned paper, take a look at page 22 in the Annual Catalog. It’s always fun to use a sketch for inspiration.
So, cut a simple one layer card base, score and cut a piece of patterned paper, add a center writing layer, and create something fun to say “hello”.
… the only limitation is your imagination.

Along with the card inspiration, I put together a video and PDF Tutorial that you can download to create your inspired Easel Fun Fold Card.
The Country Birdhouse Bundle includes the stamp set and dies. The Bundle focuses on cozy birdhouses adorned with flowers and an adorable bird. There’s so much you can create using the birdhouse as your centerpiece for cards and scrapbook pages. Then add some extra decoration to your scenes with the wood details. This Bundle lets you mix and match each detail to create individual designs every time you use it.
I had a little fun decorating the inside of the card using more of the flowers. This little birdhouse has its own private “garden”.
The Country Woods 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is a “must have”. Rustic and sophisticated, I promise you this paper pack will be your new “go to”.

Or layer it, add a sentiment and an embellishment or two, and you have a beautiful quick and easy card to share.
Not only is the Country Woods Designer Series Paper great for backgrounds, I used it to die cut my birdhouses. I love the cozy, rustic vibe.
Both cards are identical in design. I just switched up the elements and colors. The sentiments in the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set have a sweet mixed font. Simple!

So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
For those who don’t know, my card design is a Step Fun Fold. It’s been around for a while, and there are many versions of it. It’s actually easier than you think.
I cut a Petunia Pop cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.
On the 5 1/2″ side, place the cardstock from right to left on the Paper Trimmer up to the 1 1/4″ mark.
Lift the arm and move the cutting blade to the 1″ mark (on the side ruler), cut down to the 4 1/4″ mark on the side ruler.
Move the cardstock to the 4 1/4″ mark and repeat the instruction line above.
Rotate the cardstock to the long side making sure the larger panel is on the right.
Move the cardstock to the 1″ mark on the top ruler.
With the scoring blade, score from the top down to the 1 1/4″ mark on the side ruler. Lift the scoring blade. Move the blade to the 4 1/4″ mark and score to the bottom.
Slide the cardstock to the 2″ mark on the top ruler and repeat the instruction line above.
Slide the cardstock to the 4 1/4″ mark on the top ruler.
Life the scoring blade and bring it down to the 1 1/4″ mark on the side ruler. Score from the 1 1/4″ mark to the 4 1/4″ mark on the side ruler.
Slide the cardstock over to the 5 1/4″ mark on the top ruler.
Score from the top down to the 1 1/4″ mark on the side ruler.
Lift the scoring blade, go to the 4 1/4″ mark on the side ruler and score to the bottom of the cardstock.
Fold the card base as shown.
Cut And Adhere the layers
Cut two Basic White mat layers 1 1/8″ x 3 1/8″. These are for the side front panels.
Cut one Basic White mat layer 7/8″ x 5 3/8″. This is for the bottom of the card front.
Cut one Basic White mat layer 2 7/8″ x 3 1/8″. This is for the center front panel.
Cut two patterned paper layers 1″ x 3″ (side front panels).
Cut one patterned paper layer 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ (bottom layer).
Cut one patterned paper layer 2 3/4″ x 3″ (center front panel).
Adhere the layers as shown. Fold and burnish on all of the score lines. The folds will form the step design.
Click the button below to download the PDF Tutorial for this project.
You can add a writing layer to the inside. I used Basic White cardstock cut 3 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
So, find your special paper trimmer, make a cut, score, lift, and score again, and create a fun Step Ful Fold design you can send to someone special.
… the only limitation is your imagination!

It’s April, and time to introduce my April Monthly Customer Card Kit, “Beautiful Balloons”.
The Beautiful Balloons Bundle is on the Last Chance List that will be available to customers on April 9th. I thought I would give the Beautiful Balloons Dies another spin through my cutting machine and use them to create this month’s Kit.
Both cards are designed using the Book Binding Fun Fold. I used the same measurements to create one card vertically, and the other horizontally. As always, these are quick, easy designs you can create with paper and elements you already have on hand.
These are two very differend cards using the same Bundle, Designer Series Paper, and design.
