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:

April 27, 2021
This year's In Colors are absolutely amazing and my favorite for many years! Look at these pretty cards:

Team Swap cards featuring sponging techniques!

April 26, 2021

Our latest Flowerbug Team swap featured sponging techniques and they knocked it out of the park! Look at these:

The first card was made by Deloris. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle. These items are carrying over to the next catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. You can see it here.

Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and White. I absolutely LOVE the unique colors she used here and isn't her sponging amazing!? That stitched rectangle of vellum adds the perfect, soft background for the beautiful flower.

Next is a fabulous card made by Candace using A Good Man stamp set.

Her colors are Crumb Cake, Night of Navy & Pool Party.

She sponged the edges of her stamped pieces and rubbed the Crumb Cake ink pad directly on the Painted Textures embossing folder before running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. *See that folder here.

That stitched tag is one of our new dies coming in the 2021 Annual Catalog. It's called 'Tailor Made Tags'. the greeting is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set; also new! She colored the image in with Blends markers.

Stop in again tomorrow for more cards featuring sponging techniques!

Limited Quantity of Mix & Match Box & Cards; a perfect gift!

April 23, 2021
I have created many versions of this box & cards because I love it so much! This first one features the True Love designer paper:

It's a perfect gift for anyone as they can mix and match the sentiments in the box to the occasion they need. They'll remove the dimensional backing and add the tag to the card.

You can choose between this kit to go here or the PDF Tutorial here. The kit includes all pre-cut supplies needed to make this project; Designer Paper patterns may vary.

There's a second option featuring the Paper Blooms designer paper. The Tutorial includes directions and photos for both plus extras from the past few years. Click here to get this kit.

**You'll receive the PDF tutorial immediately upon payment via email.

The kit includes the following:
- Box supplies; cut & scored
- 5-6 pre-cut cards
- Tags; punched and ready for stamping
- Designer paper, die-cuts and ribbon to decorate your box (DSP patterns may vary from photo)
It does not include Dimensionals, stamping, sponges, markers, embellishments or adhesives.

I used the Many Mates stamp set but any greeting set will work. You'll need Night of Navy or Black ink depending on which kit you choose.
