You can use any piece of 6 X 6" designer paper you'd like!  Let the colors in your paper help you decide on the card bases and accent colors and embellishments.  It's really fun to make cards when you have this easy guide.

As you can see, depending on your designer paper, colors and orientation the cards don't look the same!

  June 1, 2026

  I shared this CUTE card on last week’s Live video. We made it at my May card clubs:

  It features the Balloon Festoon bundle seen here and the Beautiful Ordinary Life designer series paper. Both are in the 2026 May – August catalog by Stampin’ Up! They pair up wonderfully together!

  It might look like a simple fun fold card but look how it opens:

  The inside greeting layer slides out when you open the front of the card. It’s super easy! Watch the video below to see my tips & tricks on this card fold.

  Save

  My colors include Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, White & Daffodil Delight. I used the colors in the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP as a guide.

• Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes

  May 28, 2026

  ---

  Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

  Save

  Here’s how you do it:

  Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

  Save

   Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

  Save

   Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

  Save

  We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

  Save

  I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.

  I have one Mystery Box left!
