Today’s project is inspired by a fun fold I learned from the talented Rachel Tessman. You know that feeling when you close a card, and all the pretty layers disappear? Not with this one! Even when it’s shut, you still get a peek at the gorgeous design inside—like a little sneak preview of happiness.
I took the original fold, gave it a bit of a makeover, and dressed it up with the Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper and the Everyday You & Me Bundle.
For the front panel, I layered up two pieces of Everyday Happiness paper to create the illusion of even more depth—because if I can make it look fancier with minimal effort, I’m all in! Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to show off another print. When all the patterns coordinate so beautifully, why limit myself to just one? I want to use them all!
I stamped, cut, and arranged the flowers from the Everyday You & Me stamp and die set into a partial wreath. This is such a fun way to use smaller stamps and die cuts, and it adds just the right amount of detail without overwhelming the card.
And here’s a little sneak peek for you—see that die-cut shape around the sentiment? It’s from the upcoming Textured Notes Dies (arriving 4 March)! This set features nesting rectangles, each with a unique textured edge, making it an absolute must-have. I already know I’m going to be using these on everything.
