Cascading Pleats Card & Monogrammed Gift Box with the Floral Charm Suite
I’m so excited to share this elegant handmade card and coordinating gift box I created using the brand-new Stampin’ Up! Floral Charm Suite, which debuts July 1st as part of the upcoming Online Exclusives. These projects were originally featured on our Stampin’ Scoop Pre-Order Unboxing video — if you missed it, you can catch the replay here:

About the Card: Cascading Pleats Fun Fold
This beautiful card showcases one of my favorite folds — the Cascading Pleats Fold. It adds such a unique and dimensional touch without being difficult to create.
I used the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper for the background, paired with gold foil die cuts and sentiments from the Charming Day Bundle. The shimmer and layered detail give this card a true “wow” factor.
If you’ve never tried this fold before, don’t worry! I’ve got you covered with a full video tutorial linked in the instructions section below — plus step-by-step measurements and templates to make it easy for beginners and seasoned crafters alike.
The Perfect Pair: Monogrammed Gift Box
To go with the card, I created a custom monogrammed gift box, perfect for gifting treats, jewelry, or small surprises.
I used the same floral patterned paper to coordinate with the card and die cut the letter “T” using the Party Alphabet Dies. These dies are incredibly versatile and one of my favorite go-to tools for personalizing gifts.
