Today I'm sharing a neat fun fold I hadn't made for awhile. It's a diagonal fold that is fun and easy.
I used a few new, upcoming products from both the 2025 Spring and the 2025 Sale-a-Bration catalogs. The greeting & punch are made with the Bright Borders set and coordinating To the Point punch. The designer paper is the Toadstool Gardens 6" DSP from the SAB catalog. It's free with any $60 purchase from January 7th - February 28th, 2025.
I made over 20 of them for a mail out swap I joined. The colors include Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green.
I share how to make it in the video here and seen below. Basically it involves trimming off half of one side of the card base, flipping it and adhering it back to the card front. The only confusing this can be adding your designer paper. I suggest using a non-directional paper when trying this out.
Today I'm sharing the second version of my 1 sheet box & cards. I shared the other one on Monday; See it here.
These projects feature the Softly Sophisticated designer paper from our recent Sale-a-Bration promotion. Sadly SAB is over so it's not available anymore. You can easily substitute your favorite designer paper instead.
Please watch the video tutorial below to see how to make this box. I used the crinkled Pool Party ribbon from SAB to close it and the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp & punch bundle on these projects.
I decided to attach the ribbon on this box instead of leaving it loose. I used Tear & Tape and adhered it to the back, upper flap and half of the front. I tied the tag to the ribbon with twine so it's easy to tie together again.
Here's the template you can save. It's also included in the free project sheet below too.
Here are both of my 1 sheet boxes; which is your favorite?
Next I'll share the individual cards with the measurements. Each one is a special but easy fun fold layout. I used just one stamp set on these cards - the Heartfelt Hexagon set. The coordinating Hexagon punch is unavailable right now; it's out of stock but will be back in April.
Note the decorated envelopes to match! Doing this makes your projects extra special and uses up your designer paper stash too.
This card is a new take on a book-binding card fold. It has just one extra layer of card stock to make it a new fold.
Measurements: Calypso Coral card 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". 2nd piece is 3 1/4" X 4", White inside 2" X 4". DSP - large panel is 3" X 4", 1" X 4" & 2" X 4"
I love this card fold! It used the trimmed off layer from the card base as the front panel.
Measurements: Pebbled Path - 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4". DSP 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"
This card shows off both sides of your designer paper since the DSP is actually the front of your card base.
Measurements: Pool Party is 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". DSP - 1 piece at 3/4" X 5 1/2", 1 piece at 4" X 5 1/2". Wild Wheat strip 4" X 1"

I shared the coolest box on last week's video. It is made from 1 sheet of designer paper!
It fits six A2 sized cards and envelopes inside. It's the perfect way to gift cards to someone.
I used the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper for the box and the cards too. Of course Sale-a-Bration is now over but hopefully you ordered this beautiful paper. If not you can substitute any other designer paper.
I created a free project sheet for this easy box and the cards too! See it below. There's also a template for it but it will help you to watch the video too. Click hereto watch it. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.
Each of the cards are an easy fun fold layout. I'll share measurements here too but they are included in the project sheet too.
This first one is a fun version of a book-binding card fold. Just add one more piece of card stock and you have a whole new card layout!
Measurements: Petal Pink card 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". 2nd piece is 3 1/4" X 4", White inside 2" X 4". DSP - large panel is 3" X 4", left is 1" X 4" & right is 2" X 4"
This next card has the designer paper as the card front; attached to the front flap. Love this and how you can see both sides of our pretty paper!
Measurements: Poppy Parade card 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". DSP - 1 piece at 3/4" X 5 1/2", 1 piece at 4" X 5 1/2". Petal Pink CS is 4" X 1"
This is a great fold that uses the trimmed off card base as the front panel. Love this one!!
See how I decorated my envelopes to match the cards! This really elevates your projects and makes them extra special.
Measurements: Pool Party cards - 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4". DSP 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"
Below is the video you can watch. I share a second version of this box & cards using the Softly Sophisticated designer paper. I'll share details on this box & cards tomorrow.
Today is the last day of Sale-a-Bration! Sadly, it's our last chance to earn free products!

On last week's video I shared how to make a fun cow card and a pig too. Today I'll share the sheep version!
I decided to use a Pool Party card base to coordinate with the Sunny Days designer paper. The Deckled circle dies arean easy way to create a cute card. The greeting is from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp setseen here. Both the DSP & stamps are still available for FREE with any $50 purchase in our Sale-a-Bration promotion. I'm so sad this promotion ends today!
I used the adorable Cutest Cow bundle here.
I wanted to use puff paint for the fuzzy sheep body & the top of her head but it's not currently part of our products so I used the punch and punched a bunch of white pieces to add for her fur. In hindsight I should have used a cotton ball - pulling it apart and adding thin bits of it with glue. That would have been much easier!
Click here or on the photo below to see this cute bundle online.

I shared this cute card on last week's video. We made it at my February Card Clubs.
Isn't it adorable? My colors include Black, White, Pool Party & Old Olive. The Cutest Cows bundle can be seen here.
Instead of using the image that fits the Cow Builder punch for the front we punched the head and body from White card stock and colored in Black spots. We did use the nose/mouth and eyes/eyebrows images though.
The grass is from the Garden Meadow dies seen here. The cloud DSP is from the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper and the striped paper is the Rock & Roll DSP in the Spring catalog.
Check out the inside:
I love the greetings in this bundle that work so perfectly with the cow. 'Milk it for all it's worth!'

Her colors include White, Pebbled Path and bit of Gold foil & Vellum. She also added gold pearls and Gold Elegant Trim. The texture is made with the Exposed Brick embossing folder. The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments bundle.
The picture doesn't do it justice; it's simply stunning! If you haven't made one and want to know how check out this videoI shared a while back.

She paired it with the Let's Go Fishing designer paper & Twisted Rope 3D embossing folder. This is an entire suite in the Annual catalog and could retired in April. See it all here.

Oh; this one is so beautiful! Tracey made this one with the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper.
This fold is my absolute favorite way to show off our scenic papers! the card base has one extra score line and you cut your paper into pieces from left to right so when the card opens it's a full scene!
I LOVE her heat embossed greeting; it's fussy cut into multiple pieces and added with mini dimensionals; what a fabulous effect! The texture on the front left panel is the Exposed Brick 3D emboss folder seen here.
Measurements:
Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4", second textured layer is 1" X 5 1/4"
Designer paper is 6" X 5 1/4" tall. Cut from left to right at 2 3/4" & 4"
This pretty paper was available online but is sadly gone now. *Our Online Exclusives are available while supplies last.
I shared how to make this card on a video a few months back. See it here.
*Stop back in for more fancy fold swaps tomorrow!
