I am so excited to share my latest card creation with you all—a stunning Floating Center Fun Fold card CASEd from Brandy Cox that is sure to wow anyone who receives it. This card combines a variety of beautiful elements and intricate details, making it a true work of art.
To create this card, I used a combination of Basic White, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Smoky Slate, and Old Olive cardstocks. These colors blend together perfectly to create a rich, sophisticated look. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) I chose is from the Country Woods collection, adding a lovely, rustic charm to the overall design.

scraps for stamping bird, flowers, and sentiment
The focal point of the card is a charming robin perched on the birdhouse. I used the Country Birdhouse Bundle to create this delightful scene. The sentiment “hello friend” was cut using a Stylish Shapes die, and I crafted the hole in the birdhouse with the smallest circle die from the same set. The result is a sweet, welcoming card that feels both personal and heartfelt.
For the floral elements, I stamped the flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored them using Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends. The vibrant colors bring the flowers to life and add a cheerful touch to the card. I also die-cut additional flowers and leaves from Crushed Curry and Old Olive cardstocks to complement the design.
What makes this card truly special is the Floating Center Fun Fold. This unique folding technique adds an extra dimension and makes the card stand out. It’s the perfect way to showcase all the beautiful details and create a memorable experience for the recipient.
Creating this card was a joy, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. I hope it inspires you to try your hand at a Floating Center Fun Fold card.
