A special fun-fold card with Caring Leaves with video & free project sheet

I shared this unique fun fold card on last week's FB Live video.  It's also uploaded to my YouTube channel too.  

It was one of the projects we made at my October card clubs this month.  The Caring Leaves stamp set is in our current Holiday catalog. See it here.  It's a sweet & simple set that is both Distinktive and a 2-step set. 

You can see the fun fold below. The card base is scored 3 times. The measurements can be found in the free project sheet here. Click on the following link to print it or to download it.  Download Caring Leaves Oct 2024

My colors include Very Vanilla, Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock.  After stamping the front panel we added texture with an embossing folder. I offered the Birch 3D or the Leaf Fall 3D folders. 

That stunning Pretty Peacock & Copper foil specialty DSP is called Oxidized Copper and can be found here.  It's currently in low inventory though.  

We blended a bit of Copper Clay ink to the front panel and greeting strip after embossing. A blending brush provides a beautiful & smooth color. 

Below you'll find the video; please be sure to follow me on my YouTube Channel here too.  I share one every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT on my Facebook page.

• New Catalog Party Displays!

  January 13, 2026

  ---

  It was a bit chilly when I held my New Catalog Open House this weekend but I still had a great turnout. I teased them to come with the promise of some warm soup and beverage. I truly love seeing my customers and friends come and enjoy spending time with each other here. Friendships are a huge part of stamping!

  Here are some of the displays I created for the event.

  

  Many of the cards on my display boards are swaps I received. I participated in 4 different swaps and received over 100 cards back! I love swapping!!

  

  I place my cards in our clear envelopes so unfortunately there may be some reflection in the photos.

  

  I have two magnetic boards from IKEA in my studio I can add DSP to for easy displays.

  

  Unfortunately the Sweet Bugs stamp set is already out of stock! Darn; that will be a popular one! No worries though, it should be back later this month.

  

  The designer paper hanging at the top is the new Splash of Sparkles specialty DSP. You can see it here.

  

  One of my favorite suites is the Nature Walk seen here.

  

  Above are the Online Exclusives released in November. I had to include these in my display because I had so many great samples and some people had not seen them yet. You can see all of our Online Exclusives here. The only difference between these products is they are not in a printed catalog. They can be ordered at any time.

  

  Lastly are my two January kits to go on display. Lovely & Beautiful and Sweet Bugs – both are fun fold cards.
  You can get the details and reserve your favorite here. Or choose the PDF tutorials.

  I served a Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili soup that everyone loved. Here’s a link to it on Pinterest if you’re interested.

  Bonus days are here!

• New Catalog card swaps video

  January 12, 2026

  On last week’s Live video I shared lots & lots of my new catalog and Online product card swaps as I walk you through the catalog. I received many amazing cards with great layouts & fancy folds. I hope you watch it. Here’s the link.

  I held my New Catalog Party this weekend and it was a big success! It’s always great to see people I don’t get to see regularly.
  I had so many wonderful displays of new products and my card swaps too. I’ll share those later this week.

  I did receive a few of the new kits in our Kit Collection seen here. One I had to make right away is the Adopt a Pet kit. It’s adorable! Kids would absolutely love making & playing with these.

  

  Isn’t it cute? Here’s the link to it in the store. It’s just $15. Oh, the imaginative play children will have with these critters would be pretty special.

  

  In the video I also shared the many new Stampin’ Up! specials going on.

• 12 Days of Crafting PDF is ready!

  January 8, 2026

  ---

  I don’t know why I put it off because I truly enjoyed playing and creating with my 12 Days of Crafting kit.

  

  It became available a few months back and there are still some left! See it here.

  I couldn’t share the projects until after Christmas because some people did open it as an advent kit and did not want any sneak peeks. But it’s ready now and I can finally share the projects!

  

  This incredible crafting kit is filled with tons of never before seen products like 2 stamp sets, 2 sets of dies, multiple pre-cut pieces, new DSP, embellishments, twine & so much more.
  I used a few inks along with the products in the kit to create 12 pretty cards. The PDF tutorial is free to anyone who purchases the kit from me (and my Team of course).

  The PDF is available on my Tutorial Shop here for $16.

  Bonus days are here!
