Artistic Sketched Garden fun fold card with free project sheet & video

April 27, 2026

I shared this neat accordion card on last week’s video. Most Tuesdays at 11 am CT I post a Live video on my FB page here. Then the following week I share the free project sheet for it here on my blog. Be sure to follow me here by subscribing to my blog on the right side, my YouTube Channel or my FB page. Don’t miss a thing!

I featured the Artistic Sketched Garden designer paper here; it’s new and will be available in the upcoming 2026 May – August Stampin’ Up! catalog. Each sheet is a black & white combination of florals or prints.

I paired it with Melon Mambo and Black here. The vase of flowers is fussy cut from a sheet of the DSP. I used the Perennial Postage dies to cut a piece of In Color DSP as a background. That simple strip of Black CS really sets of the colors here.

You can’t tell what type of fun fold it is in the photo above. But look at this one:

It’s so cool and gives you plenty of places to add designer paper. Here’s the free project sheet for all three cards. Click here to download or print it.

In the video below you’ll see how I made this card and two more easy fun folds. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

Delicate Dahlias with Poppin’ Pastels technique

August 12, 2021
This weekend I'm holding a technique class and this is one of the cards we're making. It features our new Soft Pastels and the Poppin' Pastel technique.

Save

The stamps are from the Delicate Dahlias set that is currently free with a $100 order. It's a beautiful 2-step, photopolymer set that's also Dystinktive. This means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking; a process Stampin' Up! has created.

The outline images are stamped with Black Memento ink and the inside is colored with our new Soft Pastel chalks seen on page 126 or here in my store.

Tip: scrape off a bit of the chalk and use the powder. You'll achieve brighter colors.

You need Versamark ink for the solid stamped image. Next you add the chalk to the Versamark stamped image with sponge daubers. I daubed most of the color on but rubbed it in the center of the flower for a darker hue. The leaves are fussy cut and added separately.

Delicate Dahlias with a 2-toned color technique

August 11, 2021

Here's a card I made for an online swap I participated in. I needed to use an item from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was my first choice of sets.

It has a large dahlia along with a smaller flower image as well. And both are 2-step stamps with outline and solid, dystinktive images to match. It also has two sets of leaves and 4 wonderful greetings as well!

Save

The triple-rectangles frame is a die-cut called Picture This dies. You get 2 dies in the set; a set of rectangles and one of circles. What I love most about these dies is that you can use both; the small stitched pieces OR the large frame! See it here in the online store.

Save

Can you see the multiple hues of colors on these flowers? I inked the large solid dahlia in Pale Papaya ink first. Then with a sponge dauber I added Calypso Coral ink on the outside and the center. Then huff and stamp. Clean between each inking. The small flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut.
