Fabulous fun fold card with the Fluffy Squirrel bundle

November 28, 2025

I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. We are spending it with my kids, eating, playing games and visiting more family.

I am proud to share Candy’s swap card with you. It’s for our ‘foil’ themed November Team swap. She featured the Fluffy Squirrel bundle seen here.

There are so many things that absolutely make this card a winner! She did case it from Ruth’s Stamping Corner.
First of all the Need for Tweed designer series paper; how perfect! Then there’s the cute acorns that are included in the punch! Then the Earthen Toned foil paper circle – punched with our 2 3/8″ circle punch. And what about that neat fold she created!

It’s basically a book-binding card fold but with a twist. She is great about sending me her Measurements:
– Lost Lagoon 11″ X 4 1/4″ score on long side at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″, 2nd piece is 3 1/4″ X 4 1/4″
– Vanilla – 2″ X 4″ and her sentiment is 3″ X 7/8″
– Need for Tweed – 3″ X 4″, 1″ X 4″ & 2″ X 4″

Thanks for making this adorable swap card for us Candy!

3 cards with my ‘Life is Beautiful’ MDA stamp set!

July 16, 2020

You may have spied my stamp set in a previous post, but I haven't shared much yet! You can be sure I will be posting quite a few projects with it.

If you didn't know, it's a stamp set I helped create as a perk of achieving a Million Dollars in sales in my career with Stampin' Up! It's so cool to have my name posted under the stamp set in the upcoming 2020 August – December Stampin' Up! catalog!

I shared three technique cards using the Life is Beautiful stamp set on FB live last week. I did upload it to YouTube so everyone can watch. *see below

The top left card is created by stamping and heat embossing the leaves with White embossing powder. Then coloring over with Blends alcohol markers. Such a cool effect and actually fun to color too. The dark card stock covers most mistakes if you go off the image a bit.

The colors are Bermuda Bay, Black and Mango Melody. The pretty label tags are die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.

I wanted to have a play with a rainbow style card using the distinktive dots in the set.

I used Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point here. The greeting is from another MDA set called Ridiculously Awesome.

Next is a simple baby wipe technique.

I stamped the tree twice to create a wider trunk and more branches. The colors here are Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede with Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock dots.

Accordion Style Fun-Fold card with video

July 15, 2020

Here's another easy fun fold card that shows off all sides of your designer series paper. And uses up thin strips too!

I made them during my weekly 'Stamp With Me' Facebook Live last week.

I chose to use the Brights 6 X 6" designer paper pack and the Many Mates stamp set.

Aren't they fun? The back is flat and does not open. You could include a full card base on it instead of a flat piece if you'd like. I will write or sign the inside on the larger White part.

You might notice there are dots around some of the punched pieces. I used my Blends markers to add that fun detail. I also colored in some of the words on the greetings too. This stamp set is fun!

When you adhere the greeting on the front add adhesive to just the very top flap.

Measurements:

Card base: 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"

next layer 5 1/4" X 4", textured

White accordion fold 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 1", 2", 4" and 6"

Designer paper – 3 pieces 4" tall. 3/4", 1 1/4" and 2 3/4"

Supplies:

Stamps – Many Mates

Ink – Gorgeous Grape, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, Black Memento

Card stock – Brights DSP, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Black

Punches – Tailored Tag, Label Me Lovely, 2" circle, Lovely You Pick a Punch, Banner Triple

Other – Blends markers, rhinestone jewels, Dimensionals

Below is the video for you. Enjoy!
