Artistic Sketched Garden fun fold card with free project sheet & video

April 27, 2026

I shared this neat accordion card on last week’s video. Most Tuesdays at 11 am CT I post a Live video on my FB page here. Then the following week I share the free project sheet for it here on my blog. Be sure to follow me here by subscribing to my blog on the right side, my YouTube Channel or my FB page. Don’t miss a thing!

I featured the Artistic Sketched Garden designer paper here; it’s new and will be available in the upcoming 2026 May – August Stampin’ Up! catalog. Each sheet is a black & white combination of florals or prints.

I paired it with Melon Mambo and Black here. The vase of flowers is fussy cut from a sheet of the DSP. I used the Perennial Postage dies to cut a piece of In Color DSP as a background. That simple strip of Black CS really sets of the colors here.

You can’t tell what type of fun fold it is in the photo above. But look at this one:

It’s so cool and gives you plenty of places to add designer paper. Here’s the free project sheet for all three cards. Click here to download or print it.

In the video below you’ll see how I made this card and two more easy fun folds. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

Easiest Shaker card you’ll ever make!

January 26, 2021
Giving an interactive card makes the card extra special like shakers, spinners or fun folds. But they can be time consuming or a lot of work.

I used the free 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. You can see it here. That background was made with our Blending Brushes and Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink.

This type of shaker card is truly easy; really! Besides the stamped element you need three basic things:
1. A clear envelope
2. Strong adhesive
3. Sequins, beads or tiny punched pieces
Insert your stamped card stock into the clear envelope, fold the excess envelope over to the back and seal with adhesive leaving one end open. Add your fun filler and seal closed.

The pretty sequins in this card are the Woven Threads sequins in the annual catalog on page 157.

I made a video in December on making one of these shaker cards. Even though it's a Christmas card it's the same technique. Here it is:

Easy Fun Fold card! Stamp with Me tonight on FB Live

January 25, 2021

Tonight at 7:30 pm I'm making these easy fun fold cards on Facebook Live! Join me and create right along with me. Click here to join me on my FB page.

I used the Paper Blooms DSP, Stitched in Whimsy & In Bloom bundle in Night of Navy & White. This pretty designer paper is free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

See that neat stitching on the inside of the card? That's my new favorite 'Stitched with Whimsy' dies; seen here.

I used both the dies and the stamp set on my front panels. I also stamped the greeting on the inside layer on the bottom left card.

You can see this neat In Bloom bundle here. Look at these dies! Love the stitching!

Measurements:

Main card 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" scored at 5 1/2" *save the extra piece for the front layer ( 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"

White 4" X 5 1/4", 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"

DSP 1 3/4” X 4”.

The neat thing about this card is that you can use what you cut off of the main card as your layer on the front flap. Love that!

I hope to see you tonight here on Facebook!

Don’t miss out on our best deal!

January 24, 2021
I want to ask you 3 questions:
1. Do you have a long wish list of Stampin' Up! products?
2. Have you ever wished you could get all of your Stampin' Up! products on sale?
3. Have you wanted to see the new catalogs early? And order products early too?!
If you answered yes to any of the above I hope you'll tune in to my Facebook Live on Tuesday evening. I am going to go over the truths & myths of becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I'm also sharing how I got started.

Here's a link to the event. Opt in and you'll get notified when I'm on.

For those of you not on Facebook, I'll upload it to YouTube on Wednesday here.

I asked my Flowerbug's to share their 'why' and it was so neat to hear their responses! They are so happy they made the decision; I've never had anyone tell me they regretted it. Ever!

Some have been with me more than 10 years and never held a class! And that's okay! A few have had some classes to help them meet their minimums and a few hold regular events.

Here are their most popular reasons:
1. They love the discount of 20% or more on all their purchases.
2. They're enjoying being a part of something so upbeat and rewarding, making friends online and in person.
3. They don't want to give up the Stampin' Up! online community. There are numerous, exclusive websites they have access to with tons of inspiration not seen anywhere else.
4. They really love getting their catalogs early and ordering from them before anyone else.
Fact: You get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6×6 DSP ($57.50), free Past Paper Pumpkin ($21), no shipping on any of this ($20.35). So instead of $223.85… you pay just $99?! What?

The Starter Kit is always 25% off but during Sale-a-Bration it's an even better deal with the extra 5 packs of Designer paper you get free; a value of $57!

Remember the Starter kit is only $99 and you can choose up to $125 in product of your choice. You get free shipping, a free Paper Pumpkin kit and lots of catalogs & business supplies. Go here to get yours!
