I made these pretty cards on last week's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' Monday night. *See video below
The 2nd & 4th Monday's you can stamp with me Live on Facebook here. The next one is Monday, August 10th. I post the measurements & supplies ahead of time so you can prepare. Then afterwards you can share your cards too!
I chose to use a Triple Panel technique; at least that's what I'm calling it. I saw a sketch like it and created my own version here. You start out with 3 pieces of card stock or designer paper and cut them all the same way.
I used Bumblebee, Night of Navy and Smoky Slate for the cards above along with the Tasteful Touches bundle. That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Birds & More dies set.
Measurements:
Three pieces of card stock or DSP measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".
Cute one full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base of each color you use.
Cutting directions:
1st cut: Cut the first small triangle off of each piece. (On the bottom right card it's the Navy piece) Make a mark 1 1/2" from the bottom left corner and 2" from the bottom right corner. Cut this triangle off of all three pieces.
2nd cut: Make a mark from the upper left corner across at 1 3/4". Make a mark 2" from the lower left angled edge. Cut.
The 3rd cut isn't necessary as you'll use the angled piece left from the first two cuts.
Now you have three different colored pieces for each card. Mix & match one color per card!
Even if they don’t have a ‘Sale’ icon most are still reduced in price. My kits include about $20 in SU product plus the 10-12 pre-cut cards! Most only need greeting images added. You will need adhesives, ink and a paper trimmer to cut the DSP in most cases.
These are a steal of a deal!
They’re so fun to create with and many come with both PDF & video tutorials too. Most will include fun fold layouts and you’ll find new ways to create with my unique layouts.
We held out Team card swap Saturday and I want to share some of these awesome swaps they made. Our theme was to use new catalog products. This swap was ‘shoebox’ style so we made each other’s cards in person. I love shoebox swaps!
Tracey created this special card using the new Peaceful Pine in color. She paired it with Cloud Cover and Berry Burst here.
Look at that stamped panel; it is NOT designer paper! She stamped it because she loves to create with our stamps. And she finds it fun to create unique color combos too. She used the stamps from the Boutique Blossoms bundle seen here.
The Heirloom Boutique suite is one that Stampin’ Up! says will remain current for a year! I love knowing this; it helps when you join swaps and post projects for customers.

Her card is a spinner card using Baker’s Twine. It’s fun to set up a card like this so when the recipient removed the card from the envelope the circle spins. You simply wind it up before inserting it in your envelope. So cool!
We added stamped & punched butterflies all over this card; using the newest In Colors. The inside polka dot DSP panel is from the new Painted Patterns 12 X 12″ DSP seen here.It’s available in most of our color families!
Before the string is added to the crease of the fold you’ll cut the larger circle from the front. She has so many layers on her card; it can be tricky to get the circle die-cut ‘cut’ through the layers. We ran it back and forth the Cut & Emboss machine but it did cut!
It’s an amazing card Kim!

Yesterday I shared one way to use ink on an embossed layer. Today I’m sharing another.
Look closely at the card below. See how there are two different colors on this textured surface? I shared how to do this on last week’s video (see below).
This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It just ran out of stock and may be a month or more before it returns. Please add your email so you’re notified when it’s back.
Here’s how to do this: I inked the smoother side of my folder (the textured areas are recessed) with Hydrangea Hue ink. I then placed my CS on the opposite side of the folder, closed it and ran it through my Cut & Emboss Machine. It leaves the raised areas with the original CS color and the rest darker. It’s truly beautiful.
Here are both cards; with the addition of Peaceful Pine:
Below is the video tutorial where I share how to achieve this technique. I hope you watch it and try it!
