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.

Dressed to Impress meets Ornate Frames for a gorgeous hand made box!

May 13, 2020
These are the boxes I included in my Spring Retreat last month. I think they're gorgeous and was so happy with how they turned out!

Save

They're hand made from White and Lovely Lipstick card stock with fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Best Dressed designer series paper added to the top. The greeting is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set. The pretty die-cuts are from the Ornate Frames & Ornate Border dies which are now available again! See them here.

Here's a picture of the assembly process:

Here are the box dimensions:
- Top is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" on all sides
- Bottom is 3 5/8" X 5 3/8" and scored at 3/4" on all sides.
Tips:
- Once you have the box pieces cut and scored you can use the Ornate Border dies to die-cut the pretty windows in the sides.
- Cut the White frame using the Ornate Frames dies. Stamp the greeting and add fussy cut leaves and flowers.
- Fill with chocolate!

Introducing the new 2020-22 In Colors!

May 12, 2020

They're in my hands! The new In Colors that is. Look at these gorgeous new colors we'll all get to play with soon!

Save

I added a few of our current colors of card stock with each new color so you can compare them. The Misty Moonlight is like soft, worn denim.

Save

This one seems like a color we've never had before! It's a honey brown or rich, caramel color.

Save

The Magenta Madness is a pretty bright pink. If you've been around long enough it reminds me of the Pink Passion we used to have years ago.

Save

The Bumblebee is a golden version of Crushed Curry but a bit brighter.

Save

Just Jade is a pretty green and also seems different from anything I remember us having before. It's lovely!

Here's a sneak peak of 5 cards I made with LOTS of brand new products! Everything is new but the White card stock.

Save

How many new products can you spy here?

Save

We are going to absolutely LOVE these new colors! I cannot wait to play and create new, favorite combinations with our current line of colors.

Special offer! Each year at my Open House event in early June I offer my local gals a fabulous bundle of our new In Color products . This year I'll be offering it online to everyone (in the USA)! It's usually consists of the In Color ink pads, ink refills, assorted In Color card stock, In Color designer paper and embellishments (or ribbon). Then with that purchase they get the set of In color markers free! It's a great way to have it all and not worry about needing ink refills or markers later.

However Stampin' Up! is already running low on a few of these items so I may have to change it up this year. I'll know more the last week of May, which is when I'll open it up to everyone. The Covid-19 crisis is sure causing havoc with shipping and inventory; not just with SU but globally. But we make do with what we have right? And that will include a ton of new and excited products!
