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.

• Fun & Simple card layout for designer paper with video tutorial

  February 19, 2025

  ---

  Here's one more card shared on last week's Live video.  It is a very simple layout with a bit of fun to it.

  It's simply two layers of designer series paper with a slanted greeting across it. The slant adds a bit of playfulness to the vertical layers.  

  I used the Mixed Media Florals suite seen here.  It's in our Online Exclusives line which is available to everyone.  The Online title confuses some people but all it really means is that it's not in any published catalog and can be found in our online store.

  I tried another version above; one with flowers and the other with a patterned design.  Which do you prefer? 

  The center panel is 2" X 5 1/2" and the outer is 2 1/2" X 5 1/2".  The Black strip across is 1" wide.  

  The main panel is actually black & white without color.  I used our Blends markers to add color to it.  I love the ability to add whatever color I want to feature.  In this case Petal Pink with pops of Lemon Lolly, Black and Old Olive.

  I don't have a free project sheet for this card as it's one featured in my free PDF this month (with any online order).  But here are the basic measurements:

  • Coral layer – 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
  • DSP 3" square & 1 1/8" X 3" strip

• Neat Z-fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  February 17, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a neat Z-fold card that's a little different than usual.  I chose to feature the new Mixed Media Floral designer paper from our Online Exclusives line.  You can see it here.

  My colors include Mossy Meadow, White & Calypso Coral. The left card above has a 4" square of DSP as the main panel. On the right card I fussy cut the flowers from the DSP and added them over a printed blue panel that resembles sky. 

  The greeting is from the SAB Heart Shaped bundle; the die-cut is from the Mixed Label dies and the Coral piece is punched using the Labeled with Love punch.

  You can see how it opens in the photo below: The card base is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and there's a full 11" X 4 1/4" scored layer above it.
