Delightful Florals fun fold card with an easy tuck closure & free project sheet!

I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video.  Can you tell it's a fun fold card?  

It features the new Delightful Florals designer paper; only seen in our Online Exclusives here.  This card will be included in a pre-cut kit to go & tutorial in October.  See all of my available kits here.

The colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and White.  

Here's the open view: 

It might look like an ordinary opening but you can see in the photo below how the lower flap tucks under the vertical banner to hold it closed.  An interesting take on a gatefold card! 

You can download the free project sheet here: Download Delightful Florals Center Tuck card

Triple Stack & Cut cards with free project sheet & video tutorial

I'm a bit addicted to this card layout!  I'm calling it the Triple Stack & Cut card.  

You start out with three different patterns of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5".  Stack them together and make the upper right cut - a triangle.  You could measure it but I just made sure my stack was even and sliced it off. It's approximately 3/4" from the upper left and 1" from the lower right.  

Then for the remaining pieces you continue cutting all three pieces at once, cutting approximately in half on the diagonal and about 1" from the lower left.  

You can now mix & match so one piece of each pattern can fit on each of 3 card fronts.  I adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Berry Burst card stock.  That then adheres to your card base - I folded back my front to create a fun fold design.  

Tip: Note that the patterned paper has a large print, a small print and one without pattern.  This can help your card appear soothing and less busy. 

I shared how to do this on the video below.  In the video I used the Traditions of St. Nick designer paper; another Online Exclusive seen here.  

I used the Christmas Classic bundle seen here with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow & White card stock. 

The Mossy Meadow leaves are from the Christmas Classics dies.  Here are the three cards I made:

Autumn Leaves card with free project sheet; great layout for 6 X 6" designer paper

I created about 25 of these pretty cards for a recent online swap. We also made it at a Team Meeting in August.  

My colors include Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Lost Lagoon, Copper and Very Vanilla.  I used the new Autumn Leaves bundle from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.  It goes live for customers on September 6th.  

You might wonder how I achieved the two tone leaf. I inked the leaf in Pumpkin Pie ink and rubbed off the edges a bit.  Then I added Pretty Peacock ink to the edges of the stamp with a sponge dauber, huffed and stamped.  

Here's the inside: 

These products go live to customers on Wednesday, September 6th.  Is the Autumn Leaves bundle or the All About Autumn designer paper on your list?  

Remember you can get 12 sheets of this gorgeous designer paper in my Holiday Paper Share happening now.  Details here.

Here's the free project sheet you can print out & save for card ideas. Download Autumn Leaves card; August 23
