Here’s the card I made for our latest Team card swap. What do you think of the color combo?
As you can see, I used the Cutest Crew bundle here. I’m a cat owner so I chose the cats. My colors include Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, White and Basic Gray.
This adorable bundle is in our Online store and was available last week but now the dies are out of stock again. I have a feeling this is how it will be for awhile. We all love our pets! You can see the Cutest Crew bundle here or the stamp set alone here. *Be sure to add your email to the product page so you get notified when it’s back in stock.
The largest card base is Crushed Curry and the next layer is Smoky Slate which is the part that opens.
I colored in the images with Blends markers. It was fun to color them in cat like patterns.
Thanks for stopping in today! I hope you like my cards.

‘Ornament’ Christmas cards for quick & easy card making!
We're making ornament cards on tonight's Stamp with Me Live. It's a quick & easy idea for your Christmas cards!
The designer paper is the Santa Express seen here. It's filled with lots of great patterns; not just Santas & trains.
I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special.
Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight.
Gather these supplies:
Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
Twine or thin ribbon
Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes
I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set.
The card base is Mint Macaron with White & Poppy Parade accents.

The colors include Shaded Spruce, Mint Macaron and Blushing Bride. Of course they came from the colors in the Santa Express DSP. This paper will be 40% off starting December 1st with the Last Chance sale. But remember it's while supplies last!
Inks include Shaded Spruce, Mint Macaron, White Craft & Blushing Bride. The 'Joy' greeting is from the Brightest Glow stamp set.
Here are the measurements of each piece. But honestly to figure out how to put it together you may want to watch the video.
Shaded Spruce 8 1/2" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" & 7", 8 1/2" X 2" scored at 5 1/2" & 7", inside piece is 2" X 1" scored at 1" to the corner diagonally • Mint Macaron 5 1/4" X 4" • Blushing Bride 5 1/4" X 1" & scraps for snowflakes • DSP 1 1/8" X 4" for right side, 2 pieces at 1 3/8" X 1 3/4" for left • White 5 1/4" X 4" for back and scraps for snowflakes & oval greeting
Here's a photo of the wiper mechanism. This is the scored end of the 8 1/2" X 2" layer.
It's a super fun card to open and then open again and again! There are endless possibilities to add to your wiper pop-up; think greetings, animals, balloons, stars….

2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!
Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!
We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.
~~~
Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.
Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.
Measurements are:
Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
Evergreen layer 4" square
Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card. She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here.
Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.
Measurements:
Card base 5" X 10". Score at 2 1/2" & 5". You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark. From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners.
Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark. Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners.
Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
Designer paper squares are 3"
Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!
I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I? They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.
