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


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.

  • Get a free bundle from the Holiday Catalog!


    During Sale-a-Bration you can pick out a free bundle with purchase of the Stampin' Up! starter kit.  It's the current promotion happening now through September 30th. Click here to print out the flyer below. 

    Did you know that ….

    • you get $125 in product of your choice for $99 and shipping is FREE!? 
    • you can enjoy a 20% discount (and up to 25%) on all of your Stampin' Up! orders?
    • you can pre-order from new catalogs a month early?  
    • you don't have to place an order until December 2021 to stay active? 
    • you do not have to hold events or sell product?  True! You can simply enjoy the discount yourself.

    Below is a sample of a possible Starter Kit. I gathered $125 in product and a free Holiday Catalog bundle.

    I have never had a demonstrator join my team and regret it.  They all love it as long as they stay active.  Some people stay a while and others do not.  I hope you stay awhile but if you don't, that's fine too.  There is no pressure to continue once you decide to leave.  You simply stop placing orders. 

    I have many people take advantage of this deal just to stock up on essentials or to get items on their long wishlist. Then when they're stocked up, they stop ordering. It's just that simple! No pressure to sell or hold events. Just enjoy the 20% discount while you can. Email me with any questions you have.

  • Ombre Blending with Decorative Masks; an easy technique!


    If you struggle to get a smooth blend I have a few suggestions for you.  We made this striking card at a class this weekend.  Everyone loved it and they all turned out fabulous!

    Details:

    • The colors here are Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler; with a bit of gold glitz thrown in.
    • The leaves are die-cut from the Intricate Leaves dies seen here. 
    • The greeting is from the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set in the Holiday catalog. I love this greeting!  See it here.

    Here are some tips & suggestions for perfect Ombre' blending:

    • Use out Blending Brushes; they really do make a smooth blend easier.
    • Choose colors that are similar in hue. For instance blues and greens, or yellows to reds.  
    • Blend over a Decorative Mask – see them all here.  The patterned stencils/masks seem to break up any inconsistencies in your blending. 
    • Here I added color onto Crumb Cake card stock; that also helps and would be a a good color to practice on. 
    • I start out with the lightest color and work my way downward; in this case at an angle.  
    • I leave a tiny space between colors and make sure to blend/connect them by going into the previous color just a bit before moving.
