We are busy preparing for Nick’s graduation party that will be held here on June 9th. He’s super excited and ready to move onto college to focus on Exercise Science, but will be enjoying a well-deserved summer off first. His last day of school is Friday, and the graduation ceremony is Monday evening.
In addition to party prepping, I’m creating many personalized graduation cards for the other kids we know that are also graduating this year. This fun fold card I’m sharing today is pretty popular. In fact, I found several versions of it out there on the internet. So I tweaked it a bit to make it large enough to hold a gift card upright AND large enough to fill our standard Basic White envelopes.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these Grad Cap Fold Cards with Pockets using the the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set and other fabulous products from Stampin’ Up! I also shared measurements of other basic variations. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

I’m absolutely in love with Stampin’ Up!’s new 2024-26 In Color Collection! These trending colors debuted in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog and in the Online Store on May 1st. But many of us demonstrators/reps for the company were able to get our hands on these colors much earlier. So I showed them off in a Live video on March 19th. Did you view it? Click here (or below) to see that color reveal and color comparison presentation.
To make this month of May even more exciting for those wanting to add these new In Color products to their collection, Stampin’ Up! is currently offering $82 worth of these 2024-26 In Color products (the ink pads, markers, assorted cardstock, and designer paper) for FREE with the purchase of the Starter Kit. Purchasing the Starter Kit gets you on the demonstrator side of things. And then after getting the kit, you could choose to sell Stampin’ Up! products to others or not worry about any of that and just enjoy being a discount shopper. You would also be a part of my exclusive Stampers With ART Community.
So today I thought I’d show you some fun fold cards featuring these products paired with the new Friends For Life Bundle. You can make versions of these cards with any colors or with other stamps and dies. But I wanted to feature these new colors AND I chose this bundle because is has a variety of sentiments and the leaf imagery coordinates great with one of the designer paper patterns.
I also thought I’d show off one of my favorite cards I received in a recent swap. This card (designed by fellow demonstrator, Virginie Julien) features all these new colors in a beautiful watercolor design. (She is planning to share how to make her card soon…possibly even this Wednesday! Here is a link to her Facebook page. And here is a link to her YouTube channel.)
I’ve inserted a link to my how-to video which is happening OR has happened (depending on when you are reading this) at 11 AM Central Time.

Many of you asked me to make and share a how-to video for my Twist Corner Tri-Fold Card that I posted back on April 5th. So after getting new products in my hands from the May 1st release of the new 2024-25 Annual Catalog, I found several papers, stamp images, dies, etc. that when combined would make more of these landscape fun fold cards.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these cards with the Unbounded Love and Textured Floral bundles (stamps and dies) and pretty sheets of designer paper from the Flowering Zinnias, Perennial Lavender, Winter Meadow, and Frames and Flowers packs.

I got excited after creating my Delicate Wings Tucked Gatefold Card last Friday, and I quickly created a couple more that morning (yes…before packing for my trip 🤣) with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Cards and coordinating Designer Paper.
One is vertically oriented and the other is horizontal.
These cards also use very little products and require no stamps and ink. You can find the full list of products at the bottom of my post.
I’ll walk you through the steps of recreating the vertical one first. Here is the view with the card closed. The front panel is from the Memories & More card pack and the back is from a sheet of the designer paper.
And here is the card open. As you probably saw on last week’s post, This type of fun fold card opens by bending back those tucked side panels
Vertical Tucked Gatefold Card
Start by preparing your pieces.
Measurements…
Basic White Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 8″ scored parallel to the short side in from each end at 1-7/8″ and 3-3/4″
Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper
4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Card
3″ x 4″
Pretty Peacock Cardstock
3-1/8” x 4-1/8”
Gold Foil
3-1/4” x 4-1/4”
Use a Bone Folder to fold your card base along the score lines in the directions shown in this photo below.
Layer and attach the 3″ x 4″ Memories & More card, the Pretty Peacock piece, and the Gold Foil piece.
Cut your paper parallel to the long side first at 2-3/8″ and then again at 1-7/8.” You will get three strips with a very narrow one in the middle.
Attach the narrow strip to the middle area of the card base.
Close the card and attach the other two strips to the sides leaving a little bit of white cardstock showing on the inner edges.
Flip the card over and trim any excess designer paper off.
After that add Dimensionals on the middle front designer paper strip, but make sure you don’t go too high or too low. Use the layered front piece as a guide.
Add this layered front piece so it is centered. Then add a couple dragonfly embellishments. Bend up the wings a bit on these front ones if you wish. Then add some flat ones on the inside outer panels of white to finish off the card. And that’s it!
The horizontal card is put together in a similar way.
The measurements are just a bit different. And instead of embellishing the inside outer white panels, I added a couple panels from another larger 4″ x 6″ Memories & More Card to the inside inner white panels.
Horizontal Tucked Gatefold Card
Start by preparing your pieces.
Measurements…
Basic White Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 10-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side in from each end at 2-1/2″ and 5″
3-1/8” x 4-1/8”
Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper
4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Card
3″ x 4″ (for front)
Two pieces that are 2-1/4″ x 4″ (for inside background)
Textured Metallic Foil (Tungsten )
3-1/4” x 4-1/4”
Directions…
Use a Bone Folder to fold along the score lines of your card base.
Layer and attach the 3″ x 4″ Memories & More card, the smaller Basic White piece, and the Tungsten Foil piece.
Cut your designer paper parallel to the short side first at 3″ and then again at 2-1/2″ to get three strips as shown here.
Attach the narrow strip to the middle area of the card base.
Close the card and attach the other two strips to the sides leaving a little bit of white cardstock showing on the inner edges. Flip the card over and trim any excess designer paper off.
After that add Dimensionals on the middle front designer paper strip, but make sure you don’t go too high or too low. Use the layered front piece as a guide. Add this layered front piece so it is centered.
Then add five Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gem embellishments to this layered front piece and the two 2-1/4″ x 4″ pieces from the other Memories & More card to the inner white panels as shown.
Close the card and add four Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gem embellishments to the designer paper under the trees.

Today is the first day that the new 2024-25 Annual Catalog goes live! And I’ve got a super fun card to share featuring a few of the new products: the Spotlight On Nature Dies, the Under The Moon Stamp Set, and the Summer Splash Classic Stampin’ Pad. Today is also the day I normally go live teaching in an Online Paper Crafting Class. But my class is pre-recorded for you today, because I’m currently in Mexico more than likely relaxing by the resort pool or looking out on the ocean (I’m not sure, since I wrote most of this post before I left).
Today’s card is a Pop-Out Framed Display Card…a fun fold card. And it’s my incentive trip* swap card.
I created this fold based on the Bridge Fold cards, Pillar Pop-Up Window cards, and Diorama cards. Yes, I’m in Mexico with other Stampin’ Up! trip achievers.* The timing for the trip wasn’t ideal since it overlapped the release of the new catalog 🤪, but we are all dealing well with it – either forcing ourselves to stay offline OR enjoying checking in on our emails & messages while being pampered with warm weather and tropical drinks. On that note, I am VERY grateful to all of you who support me in some way in my business. Thank you! It’s a joy to be able to share the art of paper crafting with others.
You can find my pre-recorded class on YouTube and Facebook. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here(or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions. Also be sure to check out the new products AND the new In Color Starter Kit offer. (Information is below towards the bottom of my post.)
I hope you enjoyed what I shared.
Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a downloadable PDF. Scroll down further for a complete list of products most of them linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Can you see the Wink of Stella on the sun’s rays and under the boat? Probably not that well. It was hard to photograph. But that shimmer really adds a lot when you see it in person.
And here is a photo I took of all my swap cards ready to take with me to Mexico. See how they fold flat?
I hope I was able to inspire your creativity today!
