Are you looking for a fun fold card with a total wow factor? This design starts with a simple base, but the real magic happens on the front! The triple panel layout creates a playful pop-out effect that extends in multiple directions, making it such a fun and interactive card.
This fold is also a fantastic way to use up your Designer Series Paper scraps while showing off all those beautiful patterns. The center panel is the perfect place for your focal point—whether you choose a simple sentiment or build it up with layers of greenery and texture, the possibilities are endless.
I absolutely love the Nature Walk Suite. It’s especially great for creating masculine cards, making it perfect for birthdays, Father’s Day, and more. For this card, I paired Night of Navy and Balmy Blue—such a gorgeous combination with the Designer Series Paper on the front. I used coordinating dies for the focal elements, and the shine from the Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper adds the perfect touch against the blues and Crumb Cake tones.

I also created a version using the featured Products of the Month with a Pretty Peacock card base, paired with Lost Lagoon and Basic White. I added greenery using dies from the Petals of Beauty set for extra texture and interest—perfect for a special customer card!
For my final sample, I used Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lolly with a sneak peek of the Beautiful Ordinary Life 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper from the upcoming May–August Catalog. This paper is absolutely stunning! I paired it with the Cake Day Bundle (currently on the Last Chance list), making this design perfect for celebrating someone special.
I know you’re going to love creating this fun fold card—it’s unique, versatile, and guaranteed to impress. As always, happy crafting! 💙
