ENCOURAGEMENT FRAME

This elegant fun fold card showcases the beautiful Framed Violets Bundle paired with the gorgeous 2026–2028 In Color Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper . The soft striped pattern provides the perfect backdrop for the delicate violet image, which was colored using Peaceful Pine and accented with a touch of shimmer from the Barley Blush Shimmer Brush for a subtle, luminous finish. The layered focal panel adds dimension and interest, while the sweet 2026–2028 In Color Butterflies bring a whimsical touch as they flutter around the floral image. A soft Barley Blush Ribbon bow completes the design, adding texture and elegance. This fun fold card is a wonderful way to showcase these beautiful new In Colors while creating a card that is sure to delight the recipient.

This adorable Double Z Fold card features the charming Safari Smiles Bundle and is full of fun details and dimension. To create the ground scene, I incorporated the tree image from the Twisted In Time Bundle, adding the perfect touch of whimsy to the design. The soft cloudy sky was created using a homemade cloud template made from a retired Cloud Punch and lightly blended with Cloud Cover ink using a Blending Brush. The sweet elephants were colored with the Light Smokey Slate Stampin' Blend, giving them a soft and realistic appearance. Cloud Cover cardstock was the perfect choice for the card base, tying all the elements together beautifully.

I created this fun and interactive Z Double fold card using the beautiful Balloon Festoon Bundle paired with soft Pool Party cardstock and the lovely Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper for a fresh and cheerful look. The Z fold design adds movement and dimension, making the card extra special when displayed. I loved combining the festive balloon images with the soft patterns from the designer paper to create a playful celebration theme with lots of layered detail. The Pool Party color palette gave the project a light, airy feel while allowing the balloons, patterned paper, and embellishments to really stand out. This card was such a fun way to showcase both the unique fold and the versatility of the bundle and designer series paper together.
