Pinecone Surprise Card

October 23, 2026 by Tracie

A Fun Fold for the Holidays!

If you love creating cards with a little something unexpected, you’re going to love this Pinecone Surprise Card! This fun-fold design combines the rustic beauty of the Alpine Winter Designer Series Paper with the detailed pinecones and evergreen accents from the Frosted Pinecone Bundle to create a special holiday card that’s sure to impress.

The Alpine Winter DSP brings the beauty of the season to life with its pinecone and evergreen patterns, while the Frosted Pinecone Bundle adds beautiful layered pinecones that really stand out against the wood-grain background. I added a few gold accents to finish the design and bring in just a touch of holiday sparkle.

But the real surprise is on the inside! When you open the card, the unique folding mechanism reveals a series of diamond and triangular panels that create a dimensional display. It’s such a fun design to make and an even more fun card to share with someone special.

Although this card looks complicated, taking it one step at a time makes the assembly much easier. I’ve included cutting instructions, assembly directions, and diagrams to help you put all the pieces together.

Whether you’re making handmade Christmas cards for friends and family or simply enjoy trying a new fun-fold technique, the Pinecone Surprise Card is a wonderful way to showcase your favorite holiday papers and dies.

Ready to give it a try? Gather your Alpine Winter DSP and Frosted Pinecone Bundle, and let’s get crafting! Don’t have these supplies, click the button below and you will find all the supplies you need in the online store. I hope you enjoy making this special card as much as I enjoyed designing it.

Happy Stamping!

Autumn Opulence Bonus Cards

October 9, 2026 by Tracie

This card is one of three cards included in the Autumn Opulence Bonus Card Kit. The kit was shipped with the October Card Class, but because these cards require a little more time to assemble, I’ve posted a video on the StampWithTLC YouTube channel showing you how to assemble all three cards. This way, you can take your time putting them together rather than trying to complete them after the October Card Class.

Even if you didn’t purchase the Bonus Card Kit, you can still create your own hidden message card like the one shown above! A free downloadable Instruction Sheet is available below the product listing with all the measurements and assembly instructions. And, of course, the YouTube video is available for everyone to watch.

All three cards in the Autumn Opulence Bonus Card Kit feature the beautiful Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Elegant Leaves Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®. The DSP pack includes two sheets of die-cut pieces, which are perfect for creating scrapbook pages, as well as adding beautiful details to your handmade cards.
