Pretty Bridge fold card with Snowflake Kisses with free project sheet & video tutorial

December 23, 2025

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It features the Elegant Pine Snowflake designer paper and the Snowflake Kisses bundle.

My colors include Pretty Peacock, White & Lost Lagoon above. The Elegant Pine Snowflake designer paper is beautiful and can be seen here.

I created a second card with Secret Sea as the card base instead of Pretty Peacock. Which do you prefer?

This card is a bridge fun fold layout. It starts out with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base but requires two extra cuts from the center score line down 1 1/8″ from each edge. It’s easy with our Paper Trimmer. Watch the video below to see how it’s done.

I created a free project sheet for you with photos and measurements. Click here to print or download it.

I hope you try one. If you haven’t made one before please watch the video below. They are quite fun to make & open!

The photo below shows the card closed, the main panel lifted and the inside! Tip: We used a handmade stencil to sponge snowflakes on the inside. *cut snowflakes from a piece of card stock and sponge or blend ink through the windows.

Below is the video tutorial which includes a second card with this bundle. I hope you watch it! Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

Adorable Poppin’ By card swaps

May 22, 2025

Today I'm sharing 3 adorable cards made with the Poppin' By bundle from our latest Online Exclusive release.

Candace made this amazing fun fold card for our May team swap:

She folded her card front into a box and added lots of sponged popcorn and the cute box on the lower front. Note his sunglasses & shoes! They're part of the stamps & dies bundle. The corrugated card stock on the front mimics a box so well.

Do you see the window sheet strips on the two pieces of popcorn coming out of the box? They flutter when you move the card. She also added a 'wobble' to the top piece of popcorn. Love this so much!

Here's the Poppin' By bundle – stamp set & dies. So cute! See it here:

I received a few cute popcorn cards with my Disney swaps.

This first one is made by Marcia Besecker. She added so much detail to her card!

Lots of texture and fun details on this one!

Next is an adorable swap card made by Amy Storie. I love her choice of colors and the fun accents she added to her card.

This bundle is super cute don't you think?

Sneak Peek’s of upcoming products plus swaps!

May 20, 2025

Today I'm sharing swaps from the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip to Orlando, FL. And, are you ready for some sneak peeks of upcoming products?

Here are the display boards for our card swaps. We had the choice to participate or not and if we did we could make cards or 3d items. Cards were 26 count. I'll share mine soon.

Next is an upcoming kit you'll see in June from our Kit collection. Guess what!? It's a scrapbook kit!! I've been begging for this for years!

The photo above shows both cards and scrapbook pages made with this upcoming kit. It will be available on June 3rd.

~~~

Next is a new set of products we'll see in the Holiday catalog in September. Designer paper, coordinating cards & envelopes and a set of greetings ephemera in gold foil. These items will definitely be the featured product in one of my kits to go this fall.

And look a this pretty designer paper and stamp & die bundle! It will also be featured in the upcoming Holiday catalog in September.

I'm excited about this bundle because my friend Susie and I are sharing our products so we can both make samples.

Next you'll see the Perfectly Pears suite on a display board. These pretty products will be one of our new Online Exclusives seen in July.

Demonstrators will be able to pre-order it in June so you'll likely see projects shared with it very soon!

We had to stop in the M & M store in Disney Springs.

I could not resist taking a photo of all of these colors of M & M's!! Color is my jam! I could have stared at them for a long time!

Back from Disney World – the 2024 Stampin’ Up! incentive trip

May 19, 2025

We had a wonderful time on the Stampin' Up! annual incentive trip to Disney World. We got home late last night and even though we hoped to have a restful trip we were quite exhausted. These North Dakotans were not ready for 96 degree heat!

I'll share a few of our favorite photos today and more of Stampin' Up! products tomorrow.

This is what we saw on the TV screen when we arrived to our room:

Below is the view from our room in the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney World:

This basket was found in our room at the end of the first night there. A super neat felt basket (that folded flat) filled with some of our favorite snacks & beverages (a survey was sent to us last fall).

The beautiful nightly fireworks we could see from our resort. We spent many evenings at the outdoor cafe visiting with our friends and enjoying them.

I had to get a picture with Sara (SU CEO) with the paper chain background!

Our friends, Dan & Lori Heiling, Susie & Deke Wood and us at Hollywood Studios.

We at at the 50's Primetime Cafe in Hollywood Studios.

I'll share more photos tomorrow!
