Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.

August 24, 2026

I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

You can see the video for this card and one more below. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!

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.

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.

Here's the free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it. Download Sophisticated Sled Dec 24

Below is the video tutorial for this project. Plus check out the fun fold card using upcoming products too!

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.

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!

Adorable Card swaps featuring the Otterly Amazing suite

December 19, 2024

Today I'm sharing swaps that feature the adorable Otterly Amazing suite from our recent release of Online Exclusives.

First is a card made by Kelly Acheson.

The placement of her DSP is unique and leaves room for the cute swimming fish at the bottom. She used the coordinating stamp & dies for her otter, coloring it with Blends markers. Her colors include Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

Next is a fun fold card by Tracy Jacobs.

She made a cut on her card base and adhered the right side down which allowed the left side to open. Her colors include Gray Granite with White.

Measurements – card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". At the bottom right cut to the score line at the 1" mark. the DSP and inside White layer are 3" X 5 1/4". The punch is the Modern Oval punch from the Annual Catalog.

Lastly we have a sweet card made by Julie Davison.

Her colors include Old Olive, Early Espresso, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral. She cut the otter from the Otterly Amazing DSP seen here. Her circle punches and angled DSP add a bit of playfulness that matches up with the jumping otter.

See this suite here online.
