🌸Florals in Bloom Fun Fold

Handmade pocket fun fold card with a white, dark-bordered insert pulled out to show how it fits inside the floral pocket. The pocket has purple and pink flowers, a gray scalloped edge, and a dark ribbon.

Today I’m sharing a Pocket Fun Fold Card that’s a little different from a traditional card—and so much fun to make! 🩷Save this idea for later on Pinterest!

The pretty floral pocket holds a removable insert where you can write a note to someone special. It’s a lovely way to send a birthday greeting, a thank-you, or a little encouragement just because.

You can change the patterned paper and colors to make this card your own!

I hope it inspires you to create a card and brighten someone’s day!

Who would you send a pocket full of encouragement to? I’d love to hear in the comments! 💕

❤️Candy Cane Christmas

Christmas book fold card with a gingerbread man and red-and-white candy cane on a white decorative circle, brown snowflake paper, red stitched ribbon, and peppermint embellishments.

This sweet little gingerbread man is ready to spread some Christmas joy! I paired the Home for Christmas Dies with Timeless Christmas Designer Series Paper for a festive book fold card in Pecan Pie, Real Red, and Basic White.

The Red & White Peppermint embellishments make adorable gingerbread buttons and add a little sweetness along the narrow side panel. Real Red & White Stitched Ribbon ties everything together, while the candy cane adds the perfect finishing touch!

I love how the book fold creates a little “spine” along the left side—an easy detail that makes a handmade card feel extra special. ❤️

Inside of a Christmas book fold card with a white panel layered on red and brown cardstock, a red “Merry Christmas to you and yours” sentiment, and a red-and-white peppermint embellishment.
