Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

May 5, 2023

I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator.

Here's one of my recent projects:

Save

I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace.

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.

Save

I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge. It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed. Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel.

Save

Measurements are:

Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside) & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”
Portrait DSP 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”
Portrait DSP; same or different 3” X 4”

Save

All of these products are now available in the new Annual Catalog. If you don't have a local demonstrator let me know; I'll send you one for just $5. If you order from me online first I'll send it free!

Pumpkin Patch pop-up Fun Fold card

September 25, 2024

Paula made this super special fun-fold card for our September Team card swap:

Save

Can you see how the framed scene is lowering as the card is opened? She cased this idea from Creating with Kristina who cased it from Sharon Armstrong.

The colors are Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Mossy Meadow and White. Her DSP is from the Take to the Sky pack. The dies to create the frame are called Countryside Corners dies and can be seen here.

Save

Isn't that neat?! It's been awhile since I've made one of these types of cards but her card inspires me to make one.

This stamp set is called Pumpkin Patch and is part of our Online Exclusives. See it here.

Save

If you look closely at the stamped scene you can tell that she masked her pumpkins & fence. Her sponged sky & grass sure add to the realistic scene! So well done!

Clearance Rack refresh & Autumn Expressions with Splendid Autumn DSP

September 24, 2024
The Clearance Rack has lots of new items at fabulous, discounted prices check it out here!

Save

Don’t wait, theses items won’t last long!

Today I'm sharing a really neat fall themed card swap made by Lori. It's so pretty!

Save

She used the Autumn Expressions bundle seen here. It has the neatest double frame die plus the chain, pretty leaves and more.

She used the gorgeous Splendid Autumn DSP for her textured background and also for the scene inside the hanging frame. This DSP is unavailable right now; it should be back sometime this week. You can see it here.

Save

Don't you love the foil frame and hanging chain?!

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
- Crushed Curry 4" X 5 1/4"
- Textured DSP 3 3/4" X 5"
- Vanilla inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
Can you see how the frame lifts up? It reveals the back of the DSP on top and the stamped greeting inside.

Save

I love the pretty greetings in this set. And below you can also see the dies that are included. The frame folds on the scored hinge but you can use it alone too.

Save

Here's the inside view. Her colors include Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Vanilla & copper from the Textured Metallic specialty paper seen here.

Save

Next is another pretty card made by Marla. She also used the Splendid Autumn Designer paper for this fun fold card.

Save

One 6" X 5 1/4" DSP piece is cut into 3 pieces to create this neat card.

Measurements: She scored her 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" Cajun Craze card base as follows: 2 1/8" and 2 1/4". The DSP and Vanilla layers are all 2" X 5 1/4". The best thing about these scenic cards is how the scene continues as you open the card. So be sure to cut and adhere the pieces in order.

The greeting is from Thoughtful Journey; the leaf images are from You are Beautiful & maybe Irresistible Blooms.

Casing my friend with Caring Leaves & video

September 23, 2024
Last week I was out of town to see my son get married in the beautiful Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming.

Save

The photographer was incredible; I have to share some of her early shots with you. It was a quick trip but we were blessed to be there for the small ceremony. We had a wonderful time driving through the stunning park with the photographer scouting out photo opportunities. We're thrilled to add Katrina to our family!

Today I'm sharing the swap card I made for our Team card swap this month:

Save

My colors include Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Beige & Very Vanilla. Peacock is one of my favorite 'outside the box' colors for autumn projects.

Two of my favorite types of stamps are 2-step and Distinktive and this set is both! It's a sweet & simple set & it's just $17. See it here.

Save

When I was planning my card for the swap I came across the card on the left below. It's one my friend Susie Wood made awhile ago. I loved the layout and cased it using the Caring Leaves set.

Save

Casing a favorite card or layout is my go to when designing a new project. It's fun to switch up colors and products while using the same design.

I created a video that's posted below. I stamped the outline leaves on the large Pretty Peacock layer before embossing it with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. I also stamped an extra leaf to fussy cut and add under the tag. See the measurements below.

Save

Measurements:
- Basic Beige 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
- Pretty Peacock 2 3/4" X 5 1/2", 2 3/4" X 4
- Pumpkin Pie 2 1/2" X 3 3/4", 4 1/4" X 1" strip
- Very Vanilla 2 1/4" X 3 1/2" plus tag die-cut
Below is the video I shared along with card swaps from my Team.
