Anything Goes with a Fun Fold

Congratulations to all who submitted a project last month. You’re all winners! It’s always fun to see the different folds you submit. You inspire us every day.

I’ve been dreaming of daisies popping up in my garden for quite some time now. However, the weather can’t decide what season it wants to stay in. Am I the only one dealing with this? Probably not. You know what they say, “If life gives you lemons, make daisies!”  I know it’s lemons but darn it, I want daisies! If I can’t have them, I’ll make some, starting with this project.

If you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin you’ll recognize the elements of this card.  This is the March 2025 kit, Daisy Daydream. and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Who else loves to create alternate projects from their kit?  Take a look at the refill kit below.

The only things missing in a Paper Pumpkin Refill are the stamp set(s) and Ink Spot that come in the monthly kit. 

I used die-cuts (marked above) and one of the daisy card blanks to create this fun-fold.  I also added one sheet of Thick Basic White Cardstock, not included in the kit. 

Let’s plant some daisies!

Nuts & Bolts

Finished Size – A2 (4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″)

All measurements are in inches.

Acronyms & Jargon

• CAS = Clean And Simple
• CASE = Copy And Share Everything
• CS = Cardstock
• DSP = Designer Series Paper (aka patterned paper)
• SDSP = Specialty Designer Series paper
• SIP = Stamp Paper Ink

Paper Cuts

• Thick Basic White Cardstock –
  • 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 (scored at 2-1/8 & 4-1/4 )
  • 3-1/2 x 4-1/2
• Daisy Card Base – 
  • Front Panel – Cut down to 3-1/4 x 4-1/4
  • Back Panel – Cut strip 1-7/8 x 5-1/4

Construction

1. Fold and burnish card base using the finish card photo as a guide.
2. Adhere the Daisy Card Strip to front narrow panel.
3. Adhere the Daisy Card Front Panel to the Basic White rectangle. Adhere to front flap.
4. Stamp “Happy Birthday” on provided label die-cut.
5. Decorate the Front Panel by adhering daisy, honeycomb, bee [die-cuts] and stamped greeting from the kit. All pieces are popped up. You can use the Paper Pumpkin Instruction sheet as a guide for this step. Some of the daisy petals will extend past the front panel edge. If they extend past the right edge of the card [when closed], trim as needed.
6. Optional: Cut down one of the light colored card bases to 4 x 5-1/4. Adhere to the inside and decorate with additional daisies.

I wish the garden daisies would pop-up this quickly!
