Learn to Make a Tri-Fold Floral Birthday Card

August 8, 2026 by Heather Holbrook

Who wouldn’t love to receive this stunning floral card in the mail for their birthday!? Yana’s beautiful design is a tri fold with extra flaps, folds and opening for a unique interactive experience. The front of the card has a die cut diamond shaped opening with a die cut leaf trellis inside and stamped roses on two corners with the stamped sentiment in the center. When opened the next layer has a soft teal dry embossed panel with more roses and when that flap is opened it reveals the last layer with the stamped sentiment inside.

For the roses she used different ink pads in pinks and greens with layering stamps and a stamping platform a very realistic look. The dry embossing was actually done with a stencil instead of an embossing folder, an easy way to get more use from stencils. She added depth by stacking her sentiment and trellis, which also makes them sturdier and there’s also some gems for shimmer too. 

Watch her how to video tutorial on the Yana Smakula blog.
