Delicate Botanical Expressions card with video & free project sheet

August 31, 2026

Before I share today’s card I want to remind you that today is the last day to take advantage of the Designer Paper and Card stock sale. Go here to shop and grab the deals on paper.

Here’s the pretty card I shared last week on video. We made them at my August Card Clubs. Sadly it was the last Club I’ll hold in Minot. Our house has an offer in pending and I’ll have just one last event this Thursday there. My home studio has so many wonderful memories from my friends/customers. It’s hard to say goodbye!

I’m holding my Holiday Catalog open house September 3rd from 3:30-6 pm. If you’re local please come to see me (and the displays, food and deals!)

It features the new Botanical Expressions die (the white leaves die-cut) seen here. It’s a single die that can be used in multiple ways. I especially love the cut lines in the dies.
*Tip: rub waxed paper over the cutting side of your dies every few cuts; it releases the card stock easily then.

Here I adhered it over dark green DSP and added Barely Blush DSP above and below it. There are so many pretty details here!

The floral DSP is called Bloom Boutique Specialty paper and can be seen here. It’s filled with gold foil highlights.

This card is a landscape gatefold card. The Peaceful Pine layer is adhered to only the left side of the card base.
My greetings are from the Scalloped Blooms and Framed Violets sets. The inside flowers are from the Flowering Meadow stamp set.

That pretty scalloped greeting die is also from the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it. It has measurements, supplies, photos and directions.

I also shared the ‘how to’ video below. I hope you watch!

Brilliant Accordion Fun Fold card; it’s a big WOW!

February 17, 2022
If you ever want to impress someone with an extra special hand made card, try one of these Accordion cards. They are so easy to make it looks fancy and a bit tricky.

I used the Daffodil Afternoon designer paper from our current Sale-a-Bration promotion. You can see it here and get it free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.

The neat greetings are all from the Special Moments stamp set; another free choice from our Sale-a-Bration promotion through February. See all of our free SAB choices here.

Details:
- The colors are Crushed Curry & Mossy Meadow with a bit of Flirty Flamingo.
- Beautiful Layer dies – greeting die-cut shapes
- Medium Daisy punch – flowers (sponged color on the edges)
- Daffodil dies – stems & daisy centers
- Bough punch – leaves
The fold is actually quite simple for the inside of this card. I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.

Accordion card measurements:
- Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”
- DSP 5 ¼” X 10” scored at 2”, 3”, 4”, 5”, 6”, 7” & 8”
- Vanilla 3 ½” X 4 ¾” for front & 1 ¾” X 4 ¾” inside
- Front DSP 1 ½” X 3 ½”, Mossy CS 3 ¾” X 5”
Click on the photo below to watch the video. This card is the last project; you'll see one other fun fold cards and a sketch card idea.

How to make an Easy Fun Fold Window card with the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Paper

February 16, 2022

This is one of the card folds I demonstrated on last week's FB Live where I featured the Daffodil Daydream bundle along with the coordinating Daffodil Afternoon DSP.

I love how our products coordinate so wonderfully. This Daffodil Afternoon DSP is part of our Sale-a-Bration promotion. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order. This promotion ends on February 28th. See all of the free products here.

For the greetings I used the Special Moments stamp set; also in our 2022 Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's a big set of 21 images and it's free with a $100 order through February.

The cards look like a simple window card from the front; before you open it. I used the Layering Circles dies, cutting through both the DSP and card base for the window.

The front of these cards both use the same Designer Paper; you can get a totally different look depending on which sheet you choose. The cute layered butterflies are from the Daffodil dies.

This is how the card looks when you open it. It's a simple double fold that the circles are easily added to. Just close the card and add them 'through' the window onto the inside layer.

Below is the video. This card is the second project I share. If you like fun fold cards be sure to catch the last one; it's a wonderful accordion style card!
