Sweet Candy Treats Collection | Paper Rose Studio | Design Team Project

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I am happy to say that I am part of Paper Rose Studio‘s Design Team for 2026!  I was so excited when asked as it’s been my dream to be part of this team for so long.

My project today is a fun Z-Fold Card which is interactive, eye-catching and surprisingly an easy card to make.  It’s a great way to showcase the gorgeous patterned paper and the coordinating embossed die cuts from the Candy Treats Collection.  It’s perfect for giving to your friends, class mates, work mates or someone special for Valentine’s Day!

Why You’ll Love This Fun Fold Project

  •  Perfect size for Valentine’ Day or Just Because
  • Interactive fun fold design
  • Great for using patterned paper scraps
  • Fits in a standard C6 Envelope
  •  Includes a step-by-step video tutorial

Design Details

Usually I go for the opposite sides of bright & bold papers when creating projects, but this time round I decided to jump right in & use the bold & bright sides of the papers.  You could always tone them down a little by adding Vellum over the top.  The card opens to reveal a little bit of a different Z-Fold.  I added a space on the back for writing your message & finished it off with a Belly Band.

You can easily customize this fold by:

  • Changing the sentiment – friendship, kids, birthdays, etc

  • Using different papers & coloured cardstock

  • Swapping colors for non-traditional Valentine looks

Supplies Used

Here’s what you’ll need to create this fun fold:

Cardstock & Paper – Paper Rose Studio

Tools

  • Paper Trimmer
  • Scoring Board
  • Bone Folder
  • Adhesive – Liquid or Tape
  • Scissors
  • Dimensional Tape

Tutorial: How to Create This Fun Fold

I’ve put together a Basic Template showing how to cut, score and assemble this fun fold from start to finish.

Final Thoughts

Fun folds like this make Valentine crafting extra special. They’re interactive and fun to create!

Thanks for visiting & happy crafting!
