A neat Tower card with video & free project sheet with Peaceful Garden

December 3, 2025

I just love this fun fold ‘tower’ card layout! It gives you lots of opportunities to feature your designer paper.

I featured the Peace on Earth bundle and the Modern Garden designer paper. The colors include White, Secret Sea and Silver. The Peace on Earth bundle was a ‘must have’ for me because of the pretty greetings and layering die-cuts. I like that the greetings include more than just Christmas making it quite versatile.

This Tower card fun fold is made with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock but scored 5 times across the long edge. Then you simply adhere the ends together and allow the other end to open. Genius!

Note how the center panel swivels a bit…. I stamped one card with a holiday greeting and the other with a sympathy greeting. You can see the back side of the Holiday card here. I pulled out a Paper Pumpkin stamp set to fit.

I love the textured embossing on the left White panel. That is from the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder seen here. I used just the side of this folder to achieve the textured edge.

I created a free project sheet for this card; simply click on this link to print or download it.

Here’s the tip on how the front panel swivels a bit on the fold. So easy to achieve!

It’s two strips of card stock about 1/2″ wide and 1″ long folded in half. Each half is adhered with the fold on the main card fold.

Below is the video tutorial for this card, another pretty Christmas card and a candy bar treat holder.

Exploring In Color cards & envelopes & the Paper Pumpkin refill – both while supplies last!

June 2, 2023
May's Paper Pumpkin kit was amazing! It featured our newest In Colors in fabulous scenic themed cards. Here is an alternative card I made with this kit:

I cut one of the card bases into three strips and adhered them onto a Boho Blue card base (5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"). Each printed piece is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4". The White inside is 2" X 5 1/4". The greeting, binoculars & pretty label piece are from the kit. I added a 3/4" strip of Boho Blue CS under it.

**Each month my Paper Pumpkin customers receive a big bunch of alternative ideas!

Remember that purchasing the starter kit does not mean you have to hold classes or 'sell' Stampin' Up! products. It just means you want the 20% discount on your purchases. You can be any sort of Demonstrator you want – enjoy the discount only or hold events, or turn it into a business. YOU are in charge and whatever you choose to do is just fine with me and Stampin' Up!.

Continuing on from my post yesterday where I shared photos of our visit to London and some from the Norway cruise…..I thought you'd like to see some photos of the hospitality suite on the ship. We were on the Anthem of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean's ship.

Save

We were invited to stop in each day to spin for a prize. Prized were SU logo items like mugs, towels etc.

Save

They had lots of goodies for us to enjoy each day. Jars & jars of candy & treats many of them unique to us as they were from the UK.

Save

In the hospitality suite they displayed our swap cards, had games & chairs for us to hang out to visit our friends.

Save

We are treated royally by Stampin' Up! but honestly the best things about the trip were time to relax and also spending time with new and old friends we've made over the years.

Save

To stay within direct sales compliance I need to add that earning the incentive trip is not typical for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fewer than 1% of demonstrators actually achieve this extraordinary result. I appreciate my customers and team members that make this possible for me each year!

Trip photos of London & Norway

May 31, 2023

I thought I'd share a few photos of our trip to London and the Norway cruise we just returned from. The cruise was this year's Incentive trip courtesy of Stampin' Up! There were over 300 achievers on this trip: I am so proud to be one of them! To stay within direct sales compliance I need to add that this milestone is not typical for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fewer than 1% of demonstrators actually achieve this extraordinary result.

We spent a few days in London before starting the cruise to Norway.

The first day we did a food tour in Soho, London. We love doing food tours – besides tasting local favorites we learn a lot about the area from our guide. I highly recommend doing one when traveling.

This is Chinatown in London.

Save

We had a steamed bun filled with barbecue pork inside. It was really tasty and so unusual!

Save

Our last stop was for desert. These are lemon twists from a local patisserie. The outside is white chocolate. So delicate and yummy.

Save

Below is a huge tiled wall of the history of Soho where we toured.

Save

The next day we did a personal tour of London where our driver took us anywhere we wanted to go. My friend Dawn Olchefske and our husbands enjoyed a relaxing drive all over the city. Below is Big Ben.

Save

This is our driver, David. He let me sit in his black cab for a photo. The steering wheel was on the right!

Save

One of our favorite things was a gondola ride in Olden, Norway.

Save

I am not a fan of heights but for some reason this didn't bother me. We traveled up the mountain over 1000 feet in just 5 minutes! Here's a view of us at the top:

Save

This was one of the many, many waterfalls we saw while cruising the fjords in Norway. It was amazingly beautiful!

Save

We had a wonderful time on this trip – seeing the sights, visiting with our friends & being pampered! We are very glad to be back home. But we miss the food we didn't have to cook ourselves and the room steward who cleans our room each day!

Back to reality!
