Today I’m sharing the fun fold card I demonstrated during my Facebook Live—now uploaded to YouTube for easy replay. This project features the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper (shown in the photo below) paired with the brand‑new 2026–2028 In Color: Crisp Cantaloupe. The soft watercolor patterns in the DSP work beautifully with this fresh In Color, giving the card a warm, cheerful feel.
The card (photo below) is my take on a Pop‑Up Easel Card, a playful fun fold that stands upright for display and folds flat for mailing. The easel mechanism creates a dimensional stage for the floral elements, sentiments, and patterned layers. I used the Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock for the base, added coordinating DSP panels, and finished the card with stamped images and embellishments that tie everything together.
During the live video, I also shared two double‑page scrapbook layouts using the same Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP collection. These layouts show how versatile this paper pack is—perfect for cards, memory keeping, and themed pages.
