Neat Diagonal Z-fold with Balloon Festoon; free project sheet too!
I created this card for my May Team swap; the theme was to use new Summer catalog products.
The Balloon Festoon bundle is a new favorite of mine. The multiple sizes of balloon dies are just wonderful and perfect for any celebratory event. See it here.
I used the 12 X 12 Pool Party 2-tones card stock for the diagonal layer. It’s 12″ X 5 1/4″ scored every 4″. Then simply cut at an angle from the lower left to the upper second score line.
I created a free project sheet for you; click here to print or download it.
Below is the video where I shared this card and another featuring the same products.

Check out this CUTE project I made on last week's Facebook Live. It's an adorable hat that doubles as a treat box. Besides Christmas this could be perfect for a child or a baby shower!
The two hats are made with our Layering Circle dies and Whimsy & Wonder specialty DSP. I used the largest scalloped die and the largest smooth die in the set. To get the sides of the greeting strips I used the round end of a punch. *tip shared in the video here. They are 1/2" and 3/4" in width.
Below is the template for the box; please watch the video below to see how it's put together.
These would be so fun to give treats in; who wouldn't be excited to receive this?!

I played with the Whimsical Trees bundle on last week's FB Live. You can watch the video here.
The Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper coordinates with it too. And it's back in stock too!
I kept to the colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP for my card projects. Mostly Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron & Polished Pink. I made the lower left card ahead of time and the right during the Live video. Look at the detail on these die-cuts! So many choices!
Every tree and accent was die-cut using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Silver foil paper & Mint Macaron CS. The tag is from the Tags & More set of dies seen here. The embossing folder is called Wintry 3D and it comes in a pair seen here.
I wanted to include some silver embossing for the ornaments card and used an entire panel of the pretty Specialty Paper on the card front. I pulled in Mint Macaron & Polished Pink from the DSP and coloring to coordinate. That's my favorite thing about Stampin' Up! – our color coordination. No more shopping for things that match!
This card below is probably my favorite of the three. I die-cut a white tree from my card front (4 3/4" X 3 1/2") and sponged it with Polished Pink ink. Then I added a piece of designer paper behind the window and offset the sponged tree.
What a neat but quick Christmas card this would be!
The 2021-23 In Color gems add a bit of bling to the popped up tree. The greeting is from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set.
The right side is adhered down so only the left side of the card opens up. It's different yet fun and simple. You will need a paper trimmer to cut the card front.
I chose to use the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. See it here or on page 133.
