Welcome to Creative Creases Challenges #114 . Simple or complicated, fun folds are always on the agenda. Get ready to exercise your creative muscle with inspiration from our designers and challenge participants.  

Today’s project is created with a Designer Series Paper called Artisan Sketched Garden from the upcoming May – August 2026 catalog from Stampin’ Up! More on that in a minute.

The fold is a simple Z-fold, one of the easiest folds you’ll find. Only one extra score and you’ve gone a step above the norm.

The Artisan Sketched Garden DSP is basic black and white, until you bring it alive with color. Sketched with color
