How to Make a Garden Poetry Fun Fold Card (Sneak Peek + Bingo Reveal!) (Video)

There’s something special about getting your hands on new products before anyone else.

Today’s card is a sneak peek of the beautiful Garden Poetry Suite — and it’s also a glimpse into what we’ll be creating together at my upcoming March Bingo event.

This card starts with a clean, thick white base and layers in rich color, texture, and dimension. By adding a narrower folded panel to the front, we create a subtle “fun fold” feel without making the card complicated. It’s interactive, but still elegant and easy to mail.

The combination of:

• Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper
• Garden Textured Specialty Paper
• The Paradise Garden bundle
• A bold banner sentiment
• Layered geometric die cuts

creates a focal point that feels thoughtful and polished without being fussy.

What I love most about this design is how approachable it is.

There are no difficult techniques.
No complicated measurements.
No overwhelming steps.

Just smart layering, intentional placement, and letting beautiful paper do the work.

And that’s the heart of what I teach.

Why You’ll Want to Recreate This Card

You’ll love this layout if:

• You want a card that feels interactive without being complicated
• You enjoy layering without bulk
• You like mixing geometric shapes with florals
• You want something polished but totally doable

This is also a layout you can adapt easily:

• Change the sentiment
• Swap colors
• Use what you already own

It’s versatile and confidence-building.

There’s so much we can give our attention to and spend our time doing today, but what if you had something at your fingertips that allows you to create memories and express yourself instead of watching Netflix? That’s where our paper crafting kits come in!
