A set of fun fold cards with NEW designer paper! Free project sheet & video too

April 28, 2026

Yesterday I shared one of these fun fold cards and today I’ll share the other two. All feature the brand new Artisan Sketched Garden designer paper. It’s coming out on May 5th in the May-August catalog from Stampin’ Up!

I shared the top card yesterday and today I’ll share the lower two.

First is this SUPER easy fun fold card. It’s a great way to use your DSP up. The front layer is 3″ X 4″; perfect for 12 X 12″ DSP.

I chose to use two of the retiring 2024-26 In Colors for this one. Summer Splash and Pretty in Pink with Black & White. This Artisan Sketched Garden DSP is all Black & White but I colored the flowers and leaves in with Blends markers. The greeting image is from the Greetings for all Ephemera pack seen here. It’s one of my very favorite greeting packs and it’s carrying over too! The Black punched piece is from the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. Sadly it just retired and is not out of stock.

The inside White layer hides the end of the scored Pink flap. It’s a really neat and simple fun fold card. Click here to access the free project sheet.

And here is the last card in this trio of fun fold cards featuring the new Artistic Sketched Garden DSP. It’s another side flap card:

My colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel with White. The scored side flap flips to the right and has the diagonal squares with the greetings attached. The greeting is part of the Greetings for All Ephemera pack again; added to the Labeled with Love punched piece. This is retiring now and available here while supplies last.

Here’s how it opens:

What is a ‘Live Edge’ card? Check it out and the video tutorial too

October 15, 2024
You may have heard of 'Live Edge' tables; but have you ever heard of a 'live edge' card? Well that's what I'm calling this technique!

I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base. I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!

The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results. See the set here.

Here's how I stamped the inside:

Products used:
- Happiest Day stamp set
- Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
- Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP
I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper. I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them.

Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!

Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with an easy addition of glimmer strips and a few other ideas as well.

Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look

October 14, 2024
On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product. It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here. Here's one of the cards I made:

I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal. See it here. The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies.

Here's how I stamped the inside.

For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).

The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here.

I did not make a project sheet for this card since it's so simple.

Here are the measurements:
- White card base – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", White deckled rectangle die-cut 2 5/8" X 3 7/8", circle die-cut1 5/8"
- Black – 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
- Glimmer paper strips – 5 1/4" X 3/8"
Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with a special edge technique and a few other ideas as well.
