A pretty Tri-Fold card with the Around the Bend bundle – video too

I created this pretty card for last week's FB Live video.  I featured 3 cards with the Around the Bend bundle.  This might be my favorite. 

Save

The colors include White, Soft Succulent & Petal Pink.  The Around the Bend bundle can be seen here.  It was one of my top picks from the Spring catalog. 

Did you know there are a few stamp sets in the 2023 Jan-April Spring catalog that are available in either Photopolymer or Cling rubber?  You can choose which one you'd like!  Love this option.  I believe they are offering the choice to see what we prefer and if it's feasible to offer both.

Here's how it looks open.  I added a piece of Evening Evergreen under the die-cut front flap to show off the pretty, delicate dots & curve.  I trimmed the edge of this Evergreen layer with a paper snips.  

Save

Here are the measurements: 

• White 5 ½” X 11” scored at 4 & 8”
• Soft Succulent 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
• Evening Evergreen 5 ½” X 2 ¾”

The flowers & leaves are also from this bundle.  I added the large flower & leaf layer with Dimensionals so it caught the upper flap, holding it closed.

Below is the video where I made this card; it's the third and last project.

• Impressions Abloom In Color card with free project sheet & video

  May 26, 2025

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video.  We made it at my card clubs in May.  

  Save

  It features two of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush and Darling Duckling.  The card base is Summer Splash.  I think these colors are fabulous together. 

  The Strawberry Slush layer was embossed with the new Pressed Flowers embossing folder.  It's part of this suite and can be seen here.  

  Save

  I popped up the stamped oval and adhered the stitched frame flat. I added our new 2025-27 In Color flat pearls. They're awesome and can be found here.  They come in the previous In Colors as well. 

  The Impressions Abloom bundle has it all; floral and greeting images with fabulous, coordinating dies.  I'll be sharing a few cards made with it this week to convince you how great it is.  

  Save

  This stamp set is both a 2-step set and distinktive which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  

  Look at the Summer Splash flowers on each card. They're different. The card on the left was done by not matching up the flower images. It gives the look of a fuller flower compared to the card on the right.  Lots of options!

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more using this wonderful bundle.  I hope you watch it; don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too!

• Check out these cards made with the new Paper Tag bundle

  May 23, 2025

  ---

  I was thrilled to get this cute card in my swaps at the Disney trip. It's made by Kylie Henshaw from the UK. 

  Save

  She used an embossing technique here; sponging colors on the white card stock first and then stamping and heat embossing the image in Black embossing powder.  What a fun card!  The bundle used here is the Paper Tags bundle seen below. 

  This next card was made by Sara, the CEO of Stampin' Up!

  Save

  This card was attached to this neat tote (seen below) that was one of our extra gifts on our Disney trip.  The colors include Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Strawberry Slush ribbon. The die-cut and greeting are from the Paper Tags bundle seen here.  

  Save

  The tote was filled with lots of snacks and beverages. But you know how cats are with boxes or totes!  At the first opportunity Sadie jumped in and claimed it.
