Storybook Magic Meets a Tri-Fold Shutter Fun Fold – Watch the Replay!

Hi Friends!

If you love a good fun fold (and let’s be real, who doesn’t?), then you’re in for a treat! Last Wednesday, I went live with a brand-new card featuring the Storybook Friends bundle, and let me tell you—it’s a showstopper. This tri-fold shutter fun fold is packed with layers, dimension, and just the right amount of whimsy to make you feel like you’ve stepped straight into a charming little storybook scene.

Now, if you’ve never tried a tri-fold shutter card before, don’t worry—I walk you through it all in the video, and it’s way easier than it looks. Seriously, the hardest part is deciding which adorable images to feature because Storybook Friends is overflowing with cuteness. From sweet little animals to playful accents, this bundle brings that nostalgic, hand-illustrated feel to your cards in the best way possible.

And because I always love to mix things up, I also showed how this fun fold works with the Wildflower Birthday suite. Talk about versatility! With its fresh floral designs and soft watercolor elements, this version has a completely different feel—more like a blooming spring garden than a storybook illustration. Whether you love the sweet charm of Storybook Friends or the delicate beauty of Wildflower Birthday, this video has plenty of inspiration to get your creativity flowing.

If you're ready to give this tri-fold shutter card a try, I've got you covered. Here’s the full list of supplies and measurements I used so you can easily recreate the look. Whether you're team Storybook Friends or Wildflower Birthday, having everything laid out makes crafting even more fun. You’ll find all the details in the video, but I love making it easy for you to dive right in and start stamping.

This card has plenty of space for stamping, layering, and playing with colors, and once it’s folded out, the design does all the talking. It’s one of those “WOW” cards that looks impressive but is totally doable with a few simple tips (which I share in the video, of course).

If you missed the live, don’t worry—you can catch the replay below. Trust me, you’re going to want to see this one in action. Grab your favorite crafting drink, hit play, and let’s make some magic together!

Step Into a Storybook: Diorama Fun Fold Card with the Storybook Friends Bundle

 Hi Friends!

There’s something magical about a diorama-style card—it’s like opening a little world filled with charm and whimsy! During my Wednesday night live stamping demonstration, I showcased a Diorama/Shadowbox fun fold card featuring the Storybook Friends bundle and the dreamy Storybook Moments patterned paper. And let me tell you, this one was a showstopper!

The moment I saw this bundle, I knew it was perfect for creating an interactive card with depth and dimension. The characters from Storybook Friends practically jump off the page, and that patterned paper? It’s like flipping through a beautifully illustrated storybook. But here’s the thing—this bundle and paper are available for a limited time, and I wouldn’t want you to miss out on bringing these adorable scenes to life!

Now, let’s talk about getting those elements perfectly centered—because nobody wants a lopsided story! My best trick? Start with a pencil guide before committing with adhesive. Position your die-cut elements while the card is still flat, ensuring everything sits just right when the card is assembled. Trust me, this little extra step makes a world of difference. Watch the video below for tips on getting the cottage centered.

And let’s talk about that bench—because, surprise, there’s no actual bench die in this set! But that didn’t stop me. A little creative die-cutting, and voilà—a custom bench was born. The trick? Take the rectangle die and cut it to create the seat. No one will ever guess it wasn’t part of the original set!

This card turned out so stunning, and I know so many of you were obsessed with how it all came together live. If you haven’t grabbed the Storybook Friends bundle and Storybook Moments patterned paper yet, what are you waiting for? These products are flying off the shelves, and once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Here's a list of supplies and measurements used on this card. You can also find them in the description of the video below.

A Fun & Easy Card with Storybook Moments Designer Paper—No Bundle Needed!

 Hi Friends!

Sometimes, a designer paper is so good, it steals the show all on its own. That’s exactly what happened with the Storybook Moments designer paper, and let me tell you—I am not mad about it.

During my live demonstration on Monday, I shared a fun and easy card that lets this gorgeous paper do all the work. No fancy stamping, no die-cutting marathon—just beautiful paper, a little trimming, and a dash of creativity. The best part? You don’t even need the coordinating bundle to make this card shine. This is one of those layouts that works with whatever supplies you have on hand, making it perfect for quick crafting sessions.

Now, let’s talk about this Storybook Moments paper. The artwork is simply magical, like something straight out of a dreamy illustrated book. It has those soft, whimsical scenes that instantly make any card feel extra special. I love when a paper collection is this versatile because it means you can create a whole stack of unique cards without breaking a sweat.

And since I know you love a good tutorial, I’ve got you covered. If you missed the live, you can catch the full video below, where I walk you through the entire process. I’ll show you exactly how to use this paper to its full potential and give you some tips on making the most out of every little scrap.

So, grab that Storybook Moments paper, get inspired, and let’s create something beautiful. Because when your paper is this good, crafting should be easy, fun, and completely stress-free.
