It’s time for a new Creative Creases challenge. Firstly, thanks to all those who participated in my last challenge! If you haven’t played in my challenge yet, I hope I can inspire you to join me in the challenge that’s starting today! The Top Pick for the last challenge can be found in the Creative Creases post that you can find HERE with the link to enter the current challenge. I am always on the lookout for a different fun fold, so this one from Patty Bennett looked like a great one to try. Using the Pretty Pumpkins bundle and the beautiful Blackberry Beauty designer paper, this card went together without too much work at all.
My secrets to making this Quiet Meadow project
- Firstly, this card started with Cinnamon Cider 12×12 cardstock, cut to 12″ x 9.” Then, I scored it in half in both directions and cut off the bottom left panel (see photo).
- Secret: Next time I make this card, I am going to have the front panel just a smidge wider than the inside panels. Once I scored and folded it, the front didn’t quite cover the inside panels. It’s easier to trim once you folded it if you don’t want it longer. But there’s no way to make it longer once you folded it.
Now, the FUN Part!
- Honestly, the hardest part of this card was making the window on the front using DSP as a panel. Patty didn’t really show that in her video. Hopefully, you are a pro at that and are laughing at me right now. However, if you’d rather skip the window, it doesn’t make this fun fold any less appealing.
- Next, I cut the DSP to cover two panels, and used the piece from cutting the “window” for the other panel. After adhering them to the cardstock, I began the process of cutting/coloring the pumpkins and stamping sentiments.
- Then, I began placing them all on the panels. Finally, I added the Brushed Metallic Dots for the bling that every card should have!
I am submitting this card to the following challenges:

Wowzers! What a beautiful card. It was nice that you had 12 x 12 cardstock. I only have white but I might try and CASE you! Have a blessed week.
This style is easily done with 8-1/2″ x 11″! Patty’s tutorial uses that size, I believe. Enjoy making this card! I would love to see it so hope you add it to the gallery.
What an awesome fold.. such a fun surprise when you open it to have another unexpected fold/panel. And so beautifully done. Love.
Very creative card for folding a card – I like this new take on it.
Wonderful card ! This fold card is amazing and I love the beautiful combo of colours you chose with the pattern paper and the delicate die cuts. Love it ! Thank you so much for sharing and for playing along at ATSM.
This is so pretty. The paper is gorgeous as are the embellishments. I’m ready to try this for Christmas. Found you by way of The Serene Stamper, Tina Zinck. She did a tutorial and gave you credit. I’m now subscribing. You do beautiful work.
I love this card! Fall is my favorite time of year, & this DSP is so beautiful & the pumpkins just take it over the top. Thanks for sharing, Peggy
