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:

Annual HUGE Stamping Sale is Saturday!!

June 25, 2021

Each year my customers and I host a HUGE crafting sale. We sell our excess product to make room for more; or to make money to buy more!

This year we have over 30 people participating and this is what is looks like! Remember most but not all is Stampin' Up! but it is all paper crafting items.

This first picture is just a quarter of our 25 tables. There's lots more inside and out.

It's in Minot, ND this Saturday, June 26th from 9-3 pm at 429 Cedon Drive. People who shop at our sale are so happy with the deals they've gotten. They never want to miss one.

It's absolutely amazing and the selection and prices are crazy! It's actually hard for me to see some of the Stampin' Up! products sell at these ridiculous prices. But then again, what good does it do sitting on a shelf?!

Here are some photos of our set up this year:

If you live near me in Minot, ND I hope you can come. If you don't, well I sincerely apologize for teasing you!

I hope you understand, but I cannot shop for anyone long distance. There just isn't time as we are open for just a few hours & tear down immediately after the sale while everyone is there to help. It takes a lot of people for this sale to run smoothly.

*If you want to come next year we traditionally hold it the last week of June.

I am planning a BOGO the end of July and hope to offer my retired products online to everyone.

My Team held a swap featuring Designer Paper and this is the card I created for it.

I loved the 'Inked Folder' technique so much I wanted to feature it on my card. You can see how it's done in the video here. And more examples featuring this Pretty Flowers embossing folder here.

This embossing folder is a free gift to anyone who places an online order over $50 in June. *See it here.

I took the easy way out when I stamped my greetings. Here are the steps for perfect stamping using the Stamparatus:
1. I die-cut a bunch of the White labels (from the Hippo & Friends dies) first.
2. Then I placed the frame left over from die-cutting on my Stamparatus.
3. Lay your clean stamp on the label, positioning it in place.
4. Close the clear plate to 'grab' the stamp.
5. Ink the stamp and close the plate to stamp.
6. Repeat!
The Black & White striped Designer Paper is from the Pattern Party host pack seen here. It's free with Hostess Rewards. How do you get host rewards? If your order is over $150 you earn free product and can choose from anything in the catalog including the items on pages 170-171 which are marked down just for host rewards!
