Balloon Festoon surprise slider card with video tutorial

I shared this CUTE card on last week’s Live video. We made it at my May card clubs:

It features the Balloon Festoon bundle seen here and the Beautiful Ordinary Life designer series paper. Both are in the 2026 May – August catalog by Stampin’ Up! They pair up wonderfully together!

It might look like a simple fun fold card but look how it opens:

The inside greeting layer slides out when you open the front of the card. It’s super easy! Watch the video below to see my tips & tricks on this card fold.

My colors include Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, White & Daffodil Delight. I used the colors in the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP as a guide.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here. Feel free to download it to print or save in your files for later.

Below is the video tutorial; I hope you watch it! There’s a second card I share as well; I’ll feature that project in tomorrow’s post.

• Sweet Encircled with Love Valentine’s card

  Tracey created this striking card with the Made with Love designer paper:

  I love the abstract designer paper pieces she added to her White layer. Then to make sure the greeting was the focal point she added the top square of DSP. Perfect!
  This is a great example of taking leftover pieces of coordinating DSP and layering them up. A great way to use scraps!

  She used the Encircled with Love stamp set seen here along with the 1 3/4″ & 1 7/8″ circle punches. Her colors include Real Red, Flirty Flamingo with White which she got from the pretty designer paper.

  Your card inspired me to look at and use my DSP scraps Tracey! Thank you.

• Triple Z-fold with Friendly Foliage with video & free project sheet

  January 26, 2026

  We made this cool card at my Card Clubs in November. I adore the Friendly Foliage bundle!

  Save

  This fun fold looks difficult but it’s quite deceiving. It’s really so simple to make; I hope you try one! I’m a bit obsessed with this fold!

  The Friendly Foliage bundle is a big favorite of many since it came out in our Online store a few months ago.

  The designer paper seen below is from the Need for Tweed package which is on the Last Chance List right now and discounted. See it here.

  I also used the Branching Out dies for the outer frame. My colors include Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon & Basic Beige. This soft & soothing color combo really works!

  Here is the free project sheet. Click here to download or print it.

  And here is the video tutorial for you.

• Finally! We’re getting a new Stampin’ Positioner!

  January 23, 2026

  ---

  Stampin’ Up! has created a new Stampin’ Positioner for us! Since they had to take the Stamparatus off the market we’ve been waiting for a new tool for perfect stamping. Well, it’s now here!

  Save

  As you can see in the photo above it’s a brand new design. It has two clear plates, easy to use magnets and a brand new ‘press’ type mechanism.

  Right now for those who are a Demonstrator, it’s available to pre-order until February 2nd for $49. After that, the new Stampin’ Positioner will be added to the Starter Kit FREE in February!

  The cost of the Starter Kit is $99 and includes $125 in product of your choice. But in February, they’ll add in the new Stampin’ Positioner to ALL Demo’s starter kits!

  This is super exciting for us Demo’s now and also for those that join in February!

  Save

  It sounds like the general population will have to wait to get theirs…. but they promise it will be available sometime later this year to everyone.
