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.

Stunning guy cards in a pre-cut kit to go; limited quantity!

April 9, 2025

I have a few of these wood textures guy card kits left in my shop. They're filled with wood accents and textures.

I started with a Paper Pumpkin kit from last year and jazzed it up with extra cards, envelopes and layers.

It features 12 cards with envelopes all with woodgrain paper patterns. It includes pre-cut cards, Linen Thread and all the elements you see here. You'll need a few inks, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut a few card bases down.

Reserve yours soon; I have a limited quantity of these!

The PDF tutorial will be send to you immediately after purchase. The card kit will be sent a few days afterwards, unless it's combined with an April kit. Then they'll ship out together at the end of April.

Here's a link to the kit; it's $30 plus shipping. Combine it with any other kit and save on shipping costs!

Heads up! Card stock prices are rising in the upcoming 2025-26 Annual Catalog

April 8, 2025

Everything seems to be rising in cost these days and unfortunately Stampin' Up! is experiencing this as well. Mill prices have risen quite a bit so the price for our solid core card stock is going up in the new 2025 Annual Catalog.

I know it's upsetting to hear this but it is understandable. I want Stampin' Up! to stay in business and continue to offer us high quality card stock & other products. Solid core CS does cost more than white core to produce and many mills do not produce it. Our card stock is among the best in the paper crafting world!

So my advice to you is to stock up on your favorite colors or any that you use a lot. The price change goes into effect in early May. Here's a link to our beautiful card stock.

Luckily this is the only thing that we'll see a major price change in the upcoming new catalog. Yay! It's easy to be negative about this but I have complete faith that Stampin' Up! does their best to keep prices as low as possible for us.

Pretty Daisy Daydream card & sneak peek of upcoming Paper Pumpkin kits

April 7, 2025

I created this beautiful card using the March Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin kit. It's one of my alternatives made with items in the kit.

I used the card base and the stamp set but added a few other items such as:

Perennial Postage die-cut that I sponged the edges on
leaves die-cuts from the Cheerful Daisy dies
Daffodil Delight ribbon (adhered loops to the back)
a Mossy Meadow layer
Adhesive-Backed Metallic gems

Each month all of my Paper Pumpkin customers (and team members) receive a free tutorial filled with alternative ideas. It's really fun to receive a kit each month and start playing with the items in the box.

Go here to subscribe to receive a box each month. You can manage which kits you'll receive – skipping or adding an extra.

Here is a sneak peek of the next three months of Paper Pumpkin:

And there is an add on just for PP subscribers called Hugs Abloom dies seen here. This set of dies will work with each of the upcoming 3 months of kits!
