Beautiful DSP Diamond Gatefold card with video & free project sheet

I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week's Live video. You can see it here or scroll down a bit.  

Save

It features the Spring Corners bundle seen here and the Bloom Impressions DSP from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  This DSP can be seen here. It's free with any $60 purchase!  Unfortunately it's in low inventory status and may be gone soon.  I love it and thought it was one of our best offerings.

The Spring Corners set is one of my new favorites; I love the unusual corner style greetings and other images but the dies are special too!  As you can see in the front panel I die-cut the coneflower image and then replaced the flower centers with Melon Mambo pieces.  So easy and a fun trick! 

Save

Here's how it looks when it's opened below. Notice the greeting is in two lines horizontally.  I cut the 'corner' shaped stamp set at the corner point so I could have a normal inside greeting.  When I want to use it as a corner stamp it easily fits back together on my block again.

• A set of fun fold cards with NEW designer paper! Free project sheet & video too

  April 28, 2026

  Yesterday I shared one of these fun fold cards and today I’ll share the other two. All feature the brand new Artisan Sketched Garden designer paper. It’s coming out on May 5th in the May-August catalog from Stampin’ Up!

  Save

  I shared the top card yesterday and today I’ll share the lower two.

  First is this SUPER easy fun fold card. It’s a great way to use your DSP up. The front layer is 3″ X 4″; perfect for 12 X 12″ DSP.

  Save

  I chose to use two of the retiring 2024-26 In Colors for this one. Summer Splash and Pretty in Pink with Black & White. This Artisan Sketched Garden DSP is all Black & White but I colored the flowers and leaves in with Blends markers. The greeting image is from the Greetings for all Ephemera pack seen here. It’s one of my very favorite greeting packs and it’s carrying over too! The Black punched piece is from the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. Sadly it just retired and is not out of stock.

  Save

  The inside White layer hides the end of the scored Pink flap. It’s a really neat and simple fun fold card. Click here to access the free project sheet.

  And here is the last card in this trio of fun fold cards featuring the new Artistic Sketched Garden DSP. It’s another side flap card:

  My colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel with White. The scored side flap flips to the right and has the diagonal squares with the greetings attached. The greeting is part of the Greetings for All Ephemera pack again; added to the Labeled with Love punched piece. This is retiring now and available here while supplies last.

  Here’s how it opens:

• 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:

• A new catalog sneak peek!

  April 24, 2026

  I’ve joined a ton of swaps to get lots of samples for my upcoming New Catalog Open House party on May 2nd. If you’re local stop in between 11:30-1:30 pm that day at my home studio.

  Here’s one of the swaps I made:

  Save

  It is made with the Opulent Oasis bundle. This bundle will be available to order on May 5th.

  My colors include Pool Party, Petal Pink and the new Crisp Cantaloupe (card base). I love the colors together! Can you tell there’s a hint of White on some of the raised texture? I rubbed my Craft White ink pad over the surface afterwards.

  Notice that big textured floral element – that is made with something brand new, called Impressions dies.

  Here’s how you use them: I used the die first to cut out the flower like usual. It did not have the deep impression in it with the first cut. Then I put in in the Cut & Emboss machine again with the same die but this time added the new Impressions mat. This floppy, stretchy mat pushes the card stock into the die and gives that deep texture. So cool! I’ve heard you can use other ‘non-impression’ dies with this mat too!

  There are a few new & exciting impression dies coming out in the new catalog on May 5th.

  Save

  I hope you’re getting excited about all of the new products that are coming to you in this fabulous new catalog. I know you’ll love it.
