Today I’m sharing a project that’s giving all the festive sparkle… because you know me — if there’s glimmer paper involved, I’m there in half a second! 😂✨
This fun fold card was created with the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Gardens Suite, and honestly… this suite just sings Christmas elegance. Soft blues, beautiful foliage, and the sweetest little doves — I was obsessed from the moment I opened it.

And then there’s this fold.
A star fun fold! ⭐
It’s one of those folds that looks super fancy, but comes together easier than you’d think — and it’s PERFECT for using up those last pieces of Designer Series Paper you’ve been hoarding (don’t worry… I see you, I do it too).
I originally saw this card from the lovely Dawn Griffith but it has been making it’s rounds of the crafty world lately.

Front panel of “Peace, Love & Joy” handmade card by Kayla Renee from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Gardens suite. Designed with white doves, layered foliage, blue sparkle ribbon, and silver accents for an elegant holiday look.

The front panel features a cluster of die-cut doves, layered leaves and sprigs, and of course… my beloved Blue Glimmer Paper. If you’re making last-minute cards and want something that packs a punch without needing complicated techniques, this fun fold is the move. It stands beautifully, shows off your DSP, and still gives you plenty of space inside to write a thoughtful Christmas message.

Inside panel of handmade star fun fold Christmas card by Kayla Renee, featuring soft ink blending, a white dove die-cut, and leafy blue branches. Clean minimal design for handwritten message space.

Inside, I kept the design simple with one of the doves and some ink-blended foliage to tie the whole theme together. Soft, serene, and snowy — exactly the vibe of the Peaceful Gardens suite.

If you’re still working through your last festive projects (we all are, let’s be real 🤣), this is such a beautiful card to pop into your rotation. It’s a little bit fancy, a little bit glittery, and a whole lot joyful.

Happy crafting, friends — may your week be filled with sparkle, paper trimmings, and peaceful moments at your craft desk. 💙✨
