I was looking around on Pinterest for inspiration and came across a card by Patty Bennett. She used a long piece of Ornate Garden Designer Paper folded in 3 places to make an accordion style fun fold card. So I clicked on the pinned idea and it took me to her blog post where she shared how versatile this basic fold can be. I was reminded with one of her variations that I HAD indeed used this same fold in past cards I’ve made, too.
Patty showed that you can get four card variations from that folded designer paper, but I thought of one more. And I just showed these variations live on YouTube about an hour ago. (I used the Christmastime is Here Designer Paper, the Butterfly Wishes Stamp Set, the Sweetest Borders Dies, and All The Trimmings Ribbon, and the Wonderful Gems for the first card. And I used the Healing Hugs Stamp Set and Ornate Borders Dies for the second one.) 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.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).

My project idea that I’m sharing today is a Center Step fun-fold card. I shared how to make a vertical/portrait version of this fold with my Box of Sunshine Paper Pumpkin kit on June 20th. And today I’m sharing how to make a horizontal/landscape version with several products from this beautiful Peony Garden Suite: Prized Peony Stamp Set, Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder, Elegant Faceted Gems, and Square Vellum Doilies.
The directions are best explained in a video. So I shared the details during my latest Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook this past Wednesday (yesterday). I uploaded the recording of this class onto my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook) and shared it 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), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

After my box opening broadcast to my Facebook Group last weekend, I decided the new Peony Dies needed some attention right away. They can be intimidating to look at! But once you watch someone put the die-cut pieces of the 3D flower together, it all makes sense. So I created a card using the new Peony Dies and gave them an even more realistic 3D appearance with sponges and ink. Then I shared this card during my latest Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook on Wednesday.
I uploaded the recording of this class onto my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook) and shared it here in my blog post.

ORNATE GARDEN MEGA TUTORIAL BUNDLE I took part in a mega tutorial bundle group where everyone involved contributed a project tutorial using products in the newly released Ornate Garden Suite. Each project includes instructions, photos, imperial and metric measurements, and complete product lists. Click here to learn how you can get this entire bundle of 90 great ideas.
When the new Ornate Garden Suite became available, I created quite a few cards. One of my favorites was this one.
I wanted the raised flowers in the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder to really stand out. So I inked up the background side of the folder before inserting the Mango Melody cardstock and embossing. And I loved the results!
I created a few more versions of this card using other colors, and then I demonstrated this card in my latest Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook this past Wednesday. Then I uploaded the recording of this class onto my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook) and shared it here in my blog post.

And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
But this “Cherish” card shown above was actually inspired by the layout that I originally made with this card below.
Some of you may think you’ll use up your pretty papers too quickly if you cover the whole front of a card. But look how easy it is to make a pretty card without a lot of fuss. AND my guess is that those of you not using much designer paper also have quite a bit of pretty paper that you may NEVER use…piles of it? wink wink Designer paper is meant to be used and not hidden away and hoarded in our craft rooms. So dig it out. And use this simple layout for inspiration to make cards that you can send off to your family and friends!
