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:

Driving By meets Simply Marbelous for a retro style Birthday card

February 24, 2022

We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs. Look at this:

It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult. The Simply Marbelous designer series paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing! It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?!

I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all. I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine! It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too! Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.

The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here. We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder.

*There's a video to see how this card was created. You can watch it here.

The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.

I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles. See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February.

The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.

After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows – a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine.

Here's the video below:

Keep reading!

I'm giving you 6 free card kits for orders over $55 through the end of February. Plus my other gifts as well! *I ran out of the easel calendars & embossing folders; I'll be substituting Rhinestone jewels instead. (Gingham embossing folder & Easel calendar kit!).

In addition to my free gifts you'll get a free Sale-a-Bration choice too! Gifts galore! It ends on February 28th. Go here to order.

Next deal….. how about $100 in free product?

During our Sale-a-Bration promotion (ends February 28th) you can choose $125 in product of your choice for just $99. Plus TWO free stamp sets too! In addition to that the Starter kit includes a free Paper Pumpkin kit, business supplies and catalogs too.

I polled my Flowerbug's Team to ask them why they joined when they did.

Top 5 reasons my gals chose the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit:
1. A good deal
2. Continuous discount
3. Love of Stampin’ Up! products
4. See new products & catalogs early (cannot wait!)
5. Ordering regularly anyway
You may think you have to 'sell' or hold events. Or order a bunch of items to have on hand. Nope! Here are some myths you might have about being a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator:

Myths:
1. You have to sell. Or hold classes. Nope! I call my gals who simply enjoy the discount ‘Happy Shoppers’.
2. It’s a commitment. Wrong. You can quit ordering at any time. Enjoy it while you can and end when you want. There's no pressure from me or Stampin’ Up! to do more than you want to.
3. You have to join in swaps or group activities. It's your choice.
4. I don’t have time. You're in charge! Spend as much time as you want on this hobby; nothing has to change.
5. I’m not creative enough. Case & copy anything you see online or use any of my free tutorials.
Here are some Facts:
1. To stay active, you need $300 in orders/sales each quarter. But with the 20% discount you’re really paying just $240 out of pocket! But you get the benefits of the full $300. WOW! And you're taxed on the lower amount; not the full $300.
2. Your first quarter is waived so you do not need the $300 in orders until the end of June. That means you can pre-order from the new 2021 Annual catalog that starts in April. New In Colors!
3. You get all of the benefits a customer does; including free host rewards and we get our discount on top of special promotions.
4. Plus we get extra $$ income if our orders/sales are over a certain amount each month. That includes our own orders!
Are you ready to get yours?

An amazing flower from the Ladybug Builder punch? Yes!

February 22, 2022

I have been sharing many cards made with the Hello Ladybug stamp & punch bundle in the last few days. I've gone a bit crazy with it lately! If you missed them scroll to the next few posts before this one or watch the video here to see most of them.

I've seen a few samples of flowers made with the Ladybug Builder punch and had to try one myself. I love the dimension you get when you curl the 'wings' a bit!

It's definitely a 3D type flower; maybe suited best for a box or gift bag. Wouldn't that be pretty!

I punched 'wings' from the Ladybug Builder punch from our Simply Marbelous designer paper. This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion through February 28th. See it here!

It's my top favorite item in our Sale-a-Bration catalog! I love that each sheet is monochromatic on both sides; many shades of the same colors. Don't miss out on this amazing paper.

I used quite a few punched wings to make these flowers. Start with a 1 1/2" – 1 3/4" circle punch as a base to add them to, working your way from outside towards the center. Be sure to curl them first with a bone folder.

This card is also a unique fun fold I'd never seen before. I used our Stitched Rectangle dies to cut a partial window in the front fold. You can get my tips on achieving this fold in the video seen here or below.

I used the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks seen here for my background. Our blending brushes make this a breeze.

You can see the measurements in the photo below.

Which is your favorite color?
