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

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:

• Calming Camelia 2 ways with video!

  January 7, 2022

  ---

  Today I'm hosting my Spring Launch & BOGO Bash event!  If you're local to me in Minot, ND stop in!  It's from 3-6 pm.  I guarantee it will be worth coming!  I'll have yummy treats & hot cocoa, great BOGO selection, tons of samples and door prizes too!  

  ~~~

  On one of my weekly FB Live's I played with the Calming Camelia stamp set from the new 2022 Sale-a-Bration catalog. See it here. I'm so excited it's SAB time!! 

  

  I chose a few green/blue tones to stamp the same leaf image – Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green & Just Jade.  After stamping on the 1 3/4" X 2 3/4" White pieces I added texture with the new set of embossing folders called Stripes & Splatters 3D in the new Spring catalog. See them here. I did heat emboss the greetings with White embossing powder also. 

  
  

  The pretty embellishments are called Faux Sea Glass Shapes. They are available here in the new 2022 Jan-June Spring catalog. 

  

  Which layout do you prefer?  Vertical or horizontal?  

  

  This pretty stamp set is free to hosts during January & February with an order over $300.  You probably think that's way too large of an order.  But there is a way around that!  Here are a few ways:

  1. Gather with a few friends and place your order together so you can earn it free. See it here. 

  2. Or contact me here for a host code just for you and a few friends.  Each of you orders using the host code and the orders count together towards Host benefits.  You'll get this stamp set free AND $36 in free product as well!  

  You can see the video below; I share a few projects as well as some beautiful Swedish stars!

• Abstract Beauty; my January card kit to go with a PDF tutorial option too!

  January 6, 2022

  ---

  I chose this gorgeous Abstract Beauty specialty designer paper for my January class kit to go because it's filled with striking colors & patterns.  I created these fun & unique cards; most of which are fun folds! 

  

  This kit to go includes all pre-cut pieces for 10 cards plus approximately $20 in Stampin' Up! product; 1/2 pkg of Abstract Beauty 4 X 6" specialty designer paper, some Just Jade & Gold ribbon & a share of Brass Butterflies. You'll get the PDF tutorial FREE (valued at $15). 

  The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment from my Shopify site.  Check your spam or junk folder. 

  Order by January 17th. The kit to go will ship out in late January via Priority Mail. 

  I used the Slim Saying stamp set for my greetings.  Add it on and I'll include it with your kit at 10% off. Message me here for a PayPal invoice. Otherwise use a greeting set you already own. 

  

  I also used these inks: Just Jade, Black, Misty Moonlight, Crushed Curry, Balmy Blue & Versamark.  You will also need White embossing powder if you want to make your cards exactly like mine.  

  Click here to order the pre-cut kit to go.  It's the best value at $28 plus shipping. 

  Click here to get the PDF tutorial for $15.

  This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive.  I have a second kit available here but it's in short supply.  See all of the available kits here.  You can purchase two or more and save on shipping!

• Easy idea with your leftover paper strips with Artfully Layered

  January 5, 2022

  ---

  I had a bunch of leftover Just Jade card stock strips I was determined to use. I believe it was from a fun fold card I offered in one of my kits to go. Luckily inspiration struck and I created this neat card for an online swap I participated in.  I love it! 

  

  I used the new bundle called Artfully Layered stamping the largest leaf multiple times in Just Jade ink.  The botanical images, dies and super fun greetings in this bundle were one of my top picks from the new 2022 Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog.  You can see this bundle here. 

  

  Each of the strips are 1" X 3 1/4" and they are adhered to a White piece measuring 3 3/4" X 5".  I adhered them so they did not match up purposefully.  You could also stamp them as shown and place them onto the card in order.

  Simply add a greeting and a punch or die-cut.  I LOVE when I can use leftovers to create wonderful cards easily.  

  

  The greeting die-cut is from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.  They include circles, hexagons, a few odd shapes & triangles.  They're fun, modern & unique!
