It’s time for a new Creative Creases challenge. Firstly, thanks to all those who participated in the last challenge! If you haven’t played in the challenge yet, I hope I can inspire you to join the challenge that’s starting today! Yay, it’s time for another Creative Creases challenge and I have a great card to show you. It’s very similar to THIS card I made for CC back in 2022, which has been one of my most popular cards ever. Firstly, I wanted to use the Wildflower Designs stamp set and paired it with Sketched Butterflies ~ you guys know how much I love to add some life to my cards! I like this variation, called a Triple Diamond Tri-Fold, and think you will, too.

My Card Today
My Secrets!
Let’s start with the card base…
- Firstly, I made this A2 card, starting with Crumb Cake cardstock, cut to 5-1/2 x 11, and scored at 1-1/2, 4-1/8, 6-3/4, then burnish the score lines.
- Panels:
- Cardstock: Inside Panel: 4 x 5-1/4, Middle Panels: 2-3/8 x 5-1/4 (2), Front Panels: 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 (2)
- DSP: Inside Panel: 3-7/8 x 5-1/8, Middle Panels: 2-1/4 x 5-1/8 (2), Front Panels: 1-1/8 x 5-1/8 (2)
- You could make the inside middle panel your spot for a sentiment and personal message, so you wouldn’t need the second DSP layer.
- After that, adhere all of the panels together and place them onto the card base with adhesive.
Now, the FUN part!
- Oh, how much fun this card looks already, so I looked for cute images for the small squares and found the perfect ones in a new Wildflower Designs stamp set. I stamped the two small flowers in Crumb Cake ink and cut them down to 1-3/8 squares, then I stamped the “Birthday Wishes” from the Nested Friends stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink and cut it out to a 1-3/8 square, as well. (Secret: I used my retired 1-3/8″ square punch)
- Once that was done, I made 1-1/2 squares and adhered all of them together.
- Then, the the card closed, I first adhered the “birthday wishes” square onto the middle panel, and added the other two squares around it. So, this finishes the basics of this card and would be totally fine if you stopped here, but not me, I had to add some life to the card!
- After that, I stamped the sweet butterfly from Sketched Butterflies in Misty Moonlight ink and cropped it out. Then, I cropped out the other two butterflies in white cardstock and adhered them to the middle and back panels.
Then, on the inside…
- Finally, to finish this card, I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink and cropped it out with the Stylish Shapes square die.
- Then, I closed to the card to place this square so that it framed the middle sentiment square.
- The last detail was to add the Tinsel Gems to the butterflies for a touch of sparkle.

Your card is fantastic. Scrolled all the way to the end and wasn’t disappointed. However, the button to click to go to the challenge didn’t work for me and the Guest Designer card link on the challenge site was not live. Have a blessed day.
Absolutely beautiful gorgeous card. Thank you so much for sharing.

Wowza, Debbie! This is stunning – so much real estate for decorating with gorgeous DSP. Perfect! 🙂
Debbie, you have done it again. You have a way of making me take a second look at beautiful Designer Series Paper that I haven’t given enough attention. Absolutely beautiful, and then there’s that magnificent fold. Love it all. Thank you for the inspiration.
