Neutral Noel Z Fold Christmas Card Tutorial

Hi Friends!

If you love Christmas fun folds, this Neutral Noel Z Fold Christmas Card has so many beautiful details to enjoy! I created it using the Welcome Noel and Noel Tidings Bundles along with the Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Paper.

Neutral Noel Z Fold Christmas card featuring layered neutral houses, evergreen branches, metallic gold foliage, patterned specialty paper and a Merry Christmas sentiment.

The layered Christmas houses and greenery create a cozy holiday scene, while all that gorgeous gold adds just the right amount of Christmas sparkle. And although there is plenty to look at on the front, the Z Fold is what makes this card extra fun when you open it.

This card was inspired by one I saw by Mary Deatherage.

You can follow along with my complete video tutorial to make your own. I share all the measurements, supplies and step-by-step instructions, plus tips for putting the Z Fold together. Once you know how to create this fold, you can use it again and again with completely different stamps, papers and occasions.

Welcome Noel Easel Fun Fold Christmas Card Tutorial

Hi Friends!

If you love a card that becomes a little display all on its own, you’re going to love this Welcome Noel Easel Fun Fold Christmas Card!

I created this card using the Stampin’ Up! Welcome Noel Bundle along with the beautiful Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper. The finished card creates a wonderful little Christmas scene filled with colourful houses, deer, evergreen trees and touches of gold.

Handmade Stampin’ Up! Welcome Noel Easel Fun Fold Christmas card featuring red, brown and green die-cut houses with gold windows, small deer and dark blue evergreen trees layered over blue and green Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper, with a Merry Christmas sentiment and coordinating decorated inside panel.

The easel fun fold is what really makes this project special. When the card is opened, the front stands up for display, while the inside becomes part of the overall design. It looks impressive, but I’ll take you through the construction step by step in the video tutorial so you can recreate it yourself.

I love how the colourful houses pop against the blues and greens in the Whispering Woods paper. I added dark blue evergreen trees through the background to create even more depth, and those little deer scattered throughout the scene are such a sweet finishing touch.

Welcome Noel Easel Fun Fold Christmas card featuring red, brown and green die-cut houses with gold windows, small deer and dark blue evergreen trees layered over blue and green Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper, with a Merry Christmas sentiment and coordinating decorated inside panel.


The gold details in the windows and the small gold embellishments add just enough Christmas sparkle without taking over the design.

There is also another reason I wanted to feature the Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper. It is Stampin’ Up!’s Give Back product this year, and $4 from every package sold goes to charities dedicated to empowering women. That makes using this beautiful paper feel just a little more special.

In the video tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how I created the easel mechanism and then take you through the entire card from start to finish. I’ll share all the measurements, supplies and tips along the way so you can make your own version.

Fun folds are always one of my favourite ways to turn a handmade card into something extra special, and this one is perfect for displaying throughout the Christmas season.

What do you think — is an Easel Fun Fold one you’ve tried before? 💜

Pendulum Fun Fold Card with the Fun For Fall Bundle

Hi Friends!

Today I’m sharing a fun interactive card featuring the Stampin’ Up! Fun For Fall Bundle, and this one has a little surprise built right into the design.

It’s a Pendulum Fun Fold Card, which means part of the card actually moves when you give it a little nudge.

Interactive Pendulum Fun Fold Card created with the Stampin’ Up! Fun For Fall Bundle, featuring a colourful scarecrow, corn stalks, crows and a wooden fence against a dark teal background.

I love using this type of fold with playful images, and the scarecrow, corn stalks and crows from the Fun For Fall Bundle work perfectly with it. The pendulum element adds just enough movement to make the card feel extra special without making the construction overly complicated.

In the video tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how the Pendulum Fun Fold mechanism works and take you through the complete card from start to finish.

I’ll also share all of the measurements, supplies and step-by-step instructions so you can recreate the fold with the Fun For Fall Bundle or adapt it to other stamps and dies you already have.

This is one of those fun folds that is just as much fun to give as it is to make. The movement adds a playful little surprise when the recipient opens or handles the card, and the fold can easily be changed up for different seasons and occasions.

If you enjoy interactive cards and unusual fun folds, I think this one deserves a spot on your “must try” list.

Floating Front Fold Card Tutorial with Winter Adventures

Hi Friends!

If you’re looking for another fun fold to try, this Floating Front Fold card is definitely one to add to your list!

Handmade Floating Front Fold Christmas card created with the Stampin’ Up! Winter Adventures Bundle, featuring a dimensional winter scene with layered green and white evergreen trees, die-cut snowflakes and sparkling snowflake embellishments.

I created this Christmas card using the Stampin’ Up! Winter Adventures Bundle, and I love how the dimensional design of the Floating Front Fold gives the winter scene a completely different look.

The Winter Adventures Bundle gives us lots of wonderful elements for creating winter scenes, and all those evergreen trees and snowy details work beautifully with this fold.

The real star of this card, though, is the Floating Front Fold itself. It looks impressive when you first see the finished card, but once you understand how the pieces come together, you can recreate the same fold and decorate it in all sorts of different ways.

In my complete video tutorial, I’ll walk you through the Floating Front Fold from start to finish, including all the measurements and assembly.

And don't think of this as only a Christmas card fold! Once you know how to create the basic Floating Front design, you can change the colours, papers, stamps and dies and use the same idea for birthdays, thank-you cards and lots of other occasions.

I hope you’ll give this fun fold a try. If you make one, be sure to let me know! 💜

Sweet Bugs Z Fold Birthday Card for a Special 6th Birthday

Hi Friends

Earlier this week I shared this adorable Z Fold birthday card featuring the Sweet Bugs bundle from Stampin’ Up!

Handmade Z Fold birthday card created with the Sweet Bugs bundle featuring a bee, ladybug, flowers, greenery, layered arch die cuts, and a “Happy Birthday” sentiment on soft pink and white cardstock.

This project was especially fun to create because I originally made it for our granddaughter Maggie’s recent 6th birthday. I wanted something cheerful, playful, and full of personality, and the Sweet Bugs bundle was absolutely perfect.

I love the combination of the cute bug images, pretty flowers, and interactive Z Fold design. The fold adds extra dimension and creates such a fun surprise when the card is opened.

During the live demonstration I shared how to create the Z Fold base, build the sweet little scene, and add dimension while keeping the card easy to mail.

If you missed the live video, you’ll find the replay below. I hope this card inspires you to create a fun birthday card for someone special in your life. 💜

Beautiful Bloom Boutique Z Fun Fold with Hidden Bookmark

 Hi Friends!

Earlier this week I shared this beautiful Z Fun Fold card live featuring Floral Flight Accents and Bloom Boutique Specialty Designer Paper, and this project was such a fun one to create.

Elegant Z fun fold handmade card featuring Bloom Boutique floral designer paper, black floral die cuts, butterfly embellishments, and a hidden removable bookmark with sentiment “Here’s to a new chapter!”

Not only does this card feature an elegant Z fold design, but it also includes a removable bookmark hidden right inside the card. I always love projects that have a little extra surprise detail tucked inside.

The soft blue floral patterns paired with the bold black die-cut accents create such a striking contrast, while the interactive fold makes this card extra special for the recipient.

During the live demonstration I shared how to create the fold, add the bookmark element, and layer the decorative pieces for dimension and balance.

I received a swap card from my friend Shauna Mikuliak with this fold and book mark, and knew I had to share how to create it. This is the card she sent me.



If you missed the live video, you can watch the replay below and create along with me. I hope this project inspires you to try a fun fold card with a little hidden surprise inside. 💜
