On website https://www.blocklayer.com/spiral-templates generate spiral shape. Move size slider to at least 6 spirals and center slider to have bigger middle area. Click on SVG and right click on spiral shape → Save as to your computer.

Add generated spiral shape to XCS. Click on imported spiral and UNGROUP it. Right click on size description and DELETE. 

Click on spiral shape and change spiral size. For A5 greeting card I used 145mm width.

Double click (editing node mode) on spiral and move last node to an opposite spiral to make spiral “end".

Insert rectangle and change width to 297mm or what size you want.  

Insert line and move it in the middle of rectangle. You can overlap rectangle shape. It will be used as “folding” part. Right click on line and MOVE to another layer. Set to Score.  

Insert Text. Make it personal for a person who open this greeting card. Right click on text and MOVE to another layer. Set to Engrave.

On spiral shape you can glue some spring theme like flowers, butterflies or anything what you want. You can use shapes directly from XCS or using AI to generate some designs.

Click on spiral shape, flowers, butterflies and rectangle shape and change to CUT.

For gluing I used Glue stick. I used 270gsm Cardboard.

HINT: Be careful when you use Score processing for “folding” line. You need to know how much power to use to not cut the cardboard and can easy "fold" a greeting card.
