Best Tips for successful Shaker Cards with video tutorial!

July 21, 2025

Who wouldn't like to receive a shaker card?! They're fun, shakable and hard to resist playing with.

I made a bunch of these for our July Team card swap featuring 'window sheets'. I love the fact that I could get multiple, colorful die-cut flowers with the Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape and the coordinating die-cut. Just add it to another piece of cardstock and die-cut. So fast & EASY!

Notice the sponged green designer paper above. That is the Irresistible Designs 12" DSP seen here. I added Olive ink to it with a Blending Brush; the printed embossed designs 'resist' the ink. Pretty cool!

I used the Paper Tags stamp set – stamping the greeting directly onto the window sheet with Black Stazon ink. Then I turned it over to add a bit of Flirty Flamingo blends marker on the 'celebrate' part.

Diagonal Fun Fold with new products! Free project sheet & video too.

December 24, 2024

Today I'm sharing a neat fun fold I hadn't made for awhile. It's a diagonal fold that is fun and easy.

Save

I used a few new, upcoming products from both the 2025 Spring and the 2025 Sale-a-Bration catalogs. The greeting & punch are made with the Bright Borders set and coordinating To the Point punch. The designer paper is the Toadstool Gardens 6" DSP from the SAB catalog. It's free with any $60 purchase from January 7th – February 28th, 2025.

I made over 20 of them for a mail out swap I joined. The colors include Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green.

Save

I share how to make it in the video here and seen below. Basically it involves trimming off half of one side of the card base, flipping it and adhering it back to the card front. The only confusing this can be adding your designer paper. I suggest using a non-directional paper when trying this out.

How to use the Sophisticated Sled bundle with free project sheet

December 23, 2024

We made this pretty card at my December card clubs. It features the Sophisticated Sled bundle from our Online Exclusives line.

Save

I chose White with Boho Blue as my color combination. The sled is die-cut from the Country Woods DSP. I also used the Painted Trees embossing folder seen here. I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the trees.

I used stamps from the bundle for the greetings & snowflakes.

Before I played with the dies I thought they would be difficult to assemble. But they're a breeze! I hope you watch the video below for my tips. The skates are genius! The laces slip into a slit in the skate die-cut for easy assembly.

See this gorgeous bundle here.

The Color Coach is back!

December 20, 2024

If you struggle with coordinating colors the Color Coach can help. It provides multiple ways to find the perfect combinations.

Save

The Color Coach is Stampin' Up!'s version of the color wheel and is based on color theory—the combination of art and science that determines what colors look good together.

One side of the Color Coach has all current Stampin’ Up! colors (except Neutrals) laid out with a spinning wheel in the center. This center wheel gives you monochromatic, complementary, analogous, and triadic information about our colors. The back explains each of these concepts, plus our range of neutral colors.

It's $12.50 and can be seen here.

For example who would think Pretty Peacock and Pumpkin Pie would go together so well? They're on the edge of complimentary colors but work wonderfully!

Below is a sample of an Analogous color combination. SU created designer papers with shades of similar colors using our Full of Life DSP in the Annual Catalog.

Have a great weekend!
