How to Make Stunning Fun Fold Birthday Cards with a Unique Twist

 Hi Friends!

Looking for a fresh way to use your dies? This week's live demonstration was all about stepping outside the box with the Birthday Celebrations bundle and the Linked Together dies. This fun fold card takes designer paper to the next level, creating a dynamic layout that showcases patterns beautifully. But the real showstopper? An unexpected use of the Linked Together dies that adds a unique touch you won’t see coming.

One of my favorite techniques in this card is “embossing with die cuts.” If you’ve never tried this before, get ready to be amazed! This trick adds subtle texture and dimension without overpowering your design, making it a must-try for any crafter.

Here's the full supply list and measurements, so you can recreate this card with ease.

In the video tutorial below, I walk you through every step of creating this fun fold, including how to make the most of your Linked Together dies and how to master the embossing technique. You’ll also find the full supply list and measurements, so you can recreate this card with ease.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just love a creative challenge, this design is one you’ll want to add to your collection. Give it a try and let me know how it inspires your next project!

I also incorporated a pre-made floral image from the designer paper, that gave the card an elegant touch and saved time without sacrificing beauty.

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!
