Creative Creases #113: Garden Paradise
Creative Creases #112: Special Delivery
Are you ready for spring and all of it’s beautiful colors? I sure am. While we wait patiently for the season to change why not create some blooms of our own? Welcome to the March 2026 edition of Creative Creases Challenge.
Today’s fun-fold is created with new items from the Garden Poetry Suite. The suite is packed with vibrant colors and a fun Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder that will make your creation stand out.
Don’t need the entire suite? I get it. The individual elements used in my fun fold are shown below. I really appreciate that we can purchase an entire collection of products or pick and choose. Sure makes it easy to replace consumables when we use them up. Perfect for the paper collector too!
What I love: The bright, bold colors on both sides of the Designer Series Paper and the Hybrid Embossing Folder.
