Twisted Easel Fun Fold Birthday Card with Lovely Arrangements Bundle

Hi Friends!

This week’s card is a Twisted Easel fun fold, which means it stands beautifully for display and folds flat for mailing. If you’ve never tried this style before, it’s a fantastic way to add an interactive element without complicated scoring.

The botanical background brings movement and interest immediately. Instead of covering it completely, I framed it with a stitched rectangle panel to give the eye a resting place and create a strong focal area.

The white floral image layered over green leaves keeps the design clean while still feeling detailed. Because the patterned paper is fairly bold, keeping the focal flower mostly neutral allows the card to feel balanced rather than busy.

The navy patterned strip on the left adds vertical structure and grounds the design. A soft ribbon bow introduces texture and softness, while a few embellishments finish the card without overwhelming it.

This is a layout you can easily adapt:
– Change the sentiment for sympathy or thank you
– Swap the patterned paper for a more subtle background
– Use different color combinations for seasonal variations

If you missed the live demonstration, you can watch the full replay on YouTube (link below). I walk through the measurements, layering order, and design reasoning so you can recreate this card or make it your own.

Floral cards never go out of style — and the Lovely Arrangements bundle makes layering simple and elegant.
