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.

Inked & Tiled with a gorgeous background with video & blending tips!

May 19, 2023

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite cards I've made this month. These colors are so me! I needed to make 28 of these for the Norway cruise with Stampin' Up! We have to option of joining a card swap and I always try to do something unique for this special swap.

I chose the new Copper Clay with Black and Coastal Cabana. Aren't they beautiful together?

Save

This card features the new Inked & Tiled stamp set seen here. It actually comes in a bundle with two punches. But I didn't use those here.

Save

After I stamped the flowers in Black ink I used Blending Brushes to add both Coastal Cabana and Copper Clay ink. We have both regular and small Blending Brushes now. For a background like this I recommend the larger set of brushes. See them here.

Tip: when wanting a smooth blend, I recommend adding ink to your brush and start off of your paper. Slowly work your way on with a soft, gentle swirling motion. Adding pressure can give you blotches or other marks. It's also helpful to have a fully inked pad. *Remember that is helps to add ink a little at a time. It can be a slow process!

Save

Isn't that texture gorgeous with the blended background?!

When I was creating this card I made the card on the right first. If you look closely the stamped panel does not have any texture on it. Adding the Exposed Brick embossing created the perfect finish!

In the video I share two other beautiful cards made with the Inked & Tiled stamp set.

Fresh, new color combination with Inked &Tiled – fun fold with video tutorial too

May 18, 2023
I've been working double time getting ready to leave for our Norway cruise – this year's incentive trip with Stampin' Up! I'm thrilled to go on this year's trip with my husband. He's a fabulous traveling partner!

Save

Depending on WIFI, I hope to share photos on Facebook and Instagram while we're gone.

"Fewer than 1% of Stampin’ Up!’s demonstrators worldwide achieve this trip."

I'm not usually a Subtles or Neutrals kind of gal but I sure love this beautiful color combination! It's Gray Granite, Petal Pink with a bit of our new Pebbled Path.

Save

What do you think? I haven't Gray Granite often because I never found a color to pair it with. But Pebbled Path is gorgeous and among the same color tones. And add Petal Pink and it's beautiful!

I stamped the large leaf image repeatedly on the Gray Granite layer. The greeting is on a white die-cut from the Timeless Arrangements dies. I added a few of the pretty die-cuts under the greeting before layering a folded piece of ribbon (Ribbon Duo Combo Pack) and then to the punched & textured Petal Pink circle.

My card is an easy Z-fold – 4 1/4" X 11" card base scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

Save

I added lots of texture with the Timeless Arrangements dies. The pretty 'Hello' greeting is from the new Layering Leaves stamp set. It's a new favorite and I LOVE that it matches the Bough punch! See it here.

Isn't it a beautiful set?

Cheerful Daisies card; perfect for Springtime!

May 17, 2023

I'm excited to share this pretty card with you. We made it at my May card clubs. It features the Cheerful Daisy bundle.

Save

I absolutely love the colors! I chose Lemon Lolly, Garden Green, white and the new Azure Afternoon. I think the blue washed layer from the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper shows off the white & yellow daisies perfectly.

Here's how we finished the inside:

Save

I sponged extra yellow on the Lemon Lolly daisy centers before adding the White die-cut over them. Here's a photo of the dies display I made: I did not add the separate individual daisies that fir over the large yellow die-cut below. On my card they're white.

Save

The ribbon wraps all around the card front and ties on the far left. The greeting covers the knot so you see mostly the ends.

Save

Check out that amazing, detailed greenery die-cut! It even comes out of the die easily. Love it!

Save

See the Cheerful Daisies bundle here; I think it's wonderful! Best daisy set we've had for awhile.
