Diamond Fun Fold Card | Fern & Flora

Dramatic is the word I’m using for the new Fern & Flora designer papers. These pattern papers include rich, regal colors for a huge impact. They’re great for all occasion and masculine card themes making them super versatile!

The entire bundle of products include simple greenery and greetings which can be used all year long. Mix and match stamped images, like I’ve done here, with the coordinating dies for layers of texture.

I used the Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Marker, but if you want a faster way, just stamp the image on colored cardstock and die cut it. Tone-on-tone stamping looks dramatic without the task of coloring.

I allowed the fun folds of this card to be featured on the front without compromising the inside space. By doing so, you have plenty of room to write a personal note or even affix a gift card using a Glue Dot.

Diamond Fun Fold Card | Amazing Friend

This alternate sample using the same products as the first but provides a completely different mood to the card. The bright Berry Burst pattern paper compliments the darker tones of the print behind it.

Stampin’ Up!’s designer paper includes abundant patterns and color coordination which means mixing and matching is easy! The only challenging part will be deciding which of the papers you want to use first!

I opted to keep the image colors simple so as not to compete with the pattern papers. Light layers of Stampin’ Blends colors were muted by the Color Lifter.

Don’t miss the new 2026-2028 In Color Butterfly embellishments that debut tomorrow on May 5! There are 5 colors to choose from in two sizes.

Thankful for You

Unlike the first two cards, this one has a reverse feature. The stronger pattern is represented on the front “diamond” angles while the simpler pattern is in the background.

There’s no right or wrong way, simply a preference, which I wanted to provide. The busier pattern in the foreground allows for simpler embellishments or greetings which will make quick cards. Here I’ve opted to experiment with additing die cut leaves and flowers.

I’d love to know which of these patterns is your favorite. Do prefer the simple angles and heavier patterns to the back or the front? Leave me a comment below.

Whether making thank you, birthday, anniversary, get well or sympathy cards, the new Fern & Flora Bundle is perfect for them all.
