A simple trick makes this Floating Pop-Up card work; with measurements & video!

April 19, 2022

This special fancy fold card is super unique and makes you wonder just how it's sort of floating! You will be shocked at what it takes to make it work.

I used the Crane of Fortune bundle to create this card. The colors are so soft & pretty – Gray Granite, Calypso Coral, White & Early Espresso.

The front panel flips up as you open the card and it even wobbles a bit. You can see how it works in the video, or scroll down to the next photo.

I stamped the main image on a die-cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. They are on the retiring list; so if you don't have them yet you know what you need to do!

The Good Fortune dies include the pretty leaves I used to hold my card open. When doing this be sure to add Dimensionals under the image to support the card open.

You need two little pieces of card stock under the front layers to make the pop-up work. Mine are 1/2" X 2 1/2" but size really does not matter here. Just fold them in half and secure one side to the card base and the other to the top layer. Do this on each side of the front panel. Again, please watch the video here to see how it works.

Oh So Ombre cards; quick & easy with my 2-cut template!

December 30, 2020
Check out these cute cards made with the upcoming Sale-a-Bration FREE designer paper called 'Oh So Ombre'. I created them on my Stamp with Me FB Live Monday night. I created a template to chop up a piece of designer paper into 4 pieces. See the video below.

Save

It's a pack of 48 sheets in 6 X 6" size with beautiful colors & patterns with a gradual color change. One side is smooth and the other features the fun dots.

You'll be able to earn this paper pack FREE with a $50 order during our annual Sale-a-Bration promotion. It starts in just 6 days and runs from January 5th – February 28th, 2021.

I made these 3 cards with the Dandy Garden Designer Paper (another sneak peak; from the 2021 Spring Catalog) with my template seen below.

Save

Start out with a piece of double sided Designer Paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it into 4 pieces using the template below. Then, mix & match your pieces on a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.

Tips:
- This is easiest if you use patterns without a direction on them; such as flowers that grow up from the bottom or words.
- Choose one pack of DSP that coordinates well and cut 2-3 pieces in a variety of patterns. It's fun to mix & match them.

New: Vine Design Dutch Door fold card

December 29, 2020
I made several cards for online swaps featuring products in the upcoming 2021 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalog. This pretty fun fold card was one of them. I gravitate towards anything with leaves or vines so I knew I'd like this set called Vine Design.

The colors here are Night of Navy, Seaside Spray & Old Olive with White. I used my Stamparatus for the vine image; it's so perfect for multiple cards! Perfect inking and placement each time.

Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

December 28, 2020
I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend! We sure did. It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together.

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs. It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too. It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style. Scroll down to see the video.

You just need three circles of different sizes. I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges. I use these dies so much! If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here.

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets. Just one ink color; Night of Navy.

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives. See that video here.
