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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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:

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!

Continuing on to share another adorable swap card made by Candy. She used the Zoo Crew bundle. I love her primary, happy colors!

Here's one I made when I was preparing samples for my new catalog open house event:

I simply used a few pieces of the Zoo Crew designer paper and added a stamped flag greeting with twine on a long strip of Lost Lagoon. Cute & Quick!

Forever Friends kit; a beautiful set of foil accented cards & envelopes

May 26, 2023

Two weeks ago I had time to create at a stamping get together at our church. I took 3 kits and make them in about an hour and a half. Stress free and fun! I love using our kits because I have everything I need to make the cards; I simply need adhesives and a bone folder.!

Here's the start of my 9 cards.

Save

And here are the finished cards! I did change up the greetings because I needed a bunch of thank you cards. I kept the kit mostly as is since they were so pretty as designed.

This kit is called Forever Friends and can be seen here. It's $21 and includes everything you need to create 9 cards with coordinating envelopes like stamps, a block, ink, embellishments & more.

Save

It's just one of our many kit available in our Kit Collection online.

Each kit includes pre-cut pieces and printed images. Some kits include stamps, ink and a block. Others do not and are ready to finish without any stamping. You can choose what fits your needs.

Below is a snapshot of some of the kits in our collection. They are available from one year; but supplies can run out within that year. But they'll restock them once they do for up to that year. See them all here.

Have a wonderful Memorial weekend!
