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:

Sparkle of the Season cards & box; it would make a wonderful gift!

September 14, 2021
I had to get the Sparkle of the Season bundle right away. It is perfect for many, many occasions and these wreath dies were one of the options I gave Stampin' Up! for one of my Million Dollar stamp set ideas. You can see it on page 58 of the Holiday catalog; or click here to see it online.

The 4 cards & envelopes fit in the Kraft Gift Box perfectly. Details on this box below; or click here.

I used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set for a few of the greetings here. Other products used were:
- Cork & Kraft paper in the Holiday catalog
- Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, So Saffron, Soft Succulent, Vanilla & Evening Evergreen CS
- Inks – Versamark, Crumb Cake
- Metallic pearls & Artistry Sequins, Banners Pick a Punch, Vanilla envelopes, Circles Collection dies
- clear embossing powder & Heat Tool
Isn't Pool Party beautiful with Crumb Cake & Soft Suede? And our new Cork paper is amazing; thin but with beautiful texture.

Here's a picture of everything you get in the Sparkle of the Season bundle. See it here or on page 58 of the Holiday catalog.

I bet you're wondering where this card box is from. It's quite hidden in the Holiday catalog in my opinion. See it here or on page 11 or 75. There are 10 in a package and they already have adhesives on the flaps! They fit our A2 cards & envelopes perfectly! Get 10 for $10. I heat embossed leaves on it for added texture. Check out the video below for my tip on masking the window.

Here's a link to the video; it's the first project featuring the Sparkle of the Season dies. The photo shows my Halloween cards but it is the correct video!

Ready for some fabulous ‘Cute Halloween’ projects?! Check out the video tutorial

September 13, 2021
Look at this adorable Halloween card I made on last week's FB Live. Follow me on Facebook here so you don't miss my weekly videos! There's on tonight at 7:30 pm CT and every Tuesday at 11 am CT.

Product used:
- the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog. See it here.
- I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
- the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
- the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
- Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath
Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above. It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies. Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front. I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right? I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

Measurements:
- White 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”, cut 1 ¾” from the right
- Black 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”,
- White & Fresh Freesia 3 ¾” X 4 ¾”, Black ½” X 4” strip for greeting
- Cute Halloween DSP ½” strips
I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card. Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video. I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

What a Year Kit to Go – Spectacular home decor banner & 10 cards too!

September 10, 2021

When I create a kit to go I never quite know how the projects will turn out. Of course I hope for fabulous every time and I'm usually quite happy with the results. I was amazed at how much I love these What a Year projects! They truly make me happy just to look at them! They're bright, happy & just plain delightful.

The banner is my favorite. I needed an update to the decor in my studio and this fit the bill beautifully. It's nice and big, spanning almost 3 feet across!  It’s perfect for a craft space, office or even a kids room.

This kit includes the What a Year Memories & More pack, 10 White cards & envelopes, a sheet of Stampin' Dimensionals and ribbon for the banner.

No stamps or ink are needed to finish these projects. However you will need adhesives, rhinestones or other gems, scissors, a hole punch and a paper trimmer. If you want to add texture to a few of the cards you will also need a die-cut machine & embossing folders.

*Be sure to order by September 19th to get this kit!

This PDF tutorial will be sent to you via email immediately after payment. The kit is mailed out at the end of September, barring any back-orders.

Go here to order the pre-cut kit to go. $28 (See the 2nd September kit option here. Choose both kits here!)
