Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.

August 24, 2026

I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

Easy stack & cut layout with Regal Winter with free project sheet & video

September 9, 2024

This is one of the cards I shared on last week's Live video. I chose to feature the beautiful Regal Winter suite seen here. It's new from our 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!

Isn't the color combination pretty? It's Blueberry Bushel with Wild Wheat & White. It's interesting that I chose the color combo from the pretty Regal Winter designer series paper but afterwards I realized they are complimentary colors. Check out pages 132-133 in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog. Blues & purple are complimentary colors with yellow hues. I explain how to do this this in my video seen here.

If you have trouble combining colors together start with two main colors. Using our designer papers as a starting point can make it quite easy. I tend to grab the card stock and hold them next to each other. I can usually tell if they work well. But if you can't try using our color wheel information on the pages above.

Isn't that double die-cut pretty? It comes as one die but cuts the main and the outer frame all at once. Click here to see the Regal Flora bundle and here for the Regal Winter designer paper.

I stamped the leaf image in Wild Wheat and the blue flower is stamped & die-cut. Next I colored the white areas with a Wild Wheat Blends marker. Love the golden highlights!

How did I cut the three pieces of designer paper for this card? I explain in the video below and in the tutorial above. But basically you stack 3 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut into 3 pieces. It's incredibly gorgeous designer paper!

As long as you cut them all together it does not matter where your cuts are. You'll get 3 card fronts from the pieces you'll get. These are layered onto another 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock.

Below is the video tutorial for this and one other card. I hope you watch it AND follow me on my YouTube channel too!

Holiday Catalog Launch Party with lots of new product displays

September 7, 2024

My new Holiday Catalog open house event went wonderfully on Wednesday; it was a big smash with lots of people attending. I was ready with fabulous displays and yummy food. Of course I forgot to take photos of the food but I did remember to grab some of the displays.

First is the Splendid Autumn display:

I also included swaps from the Caring Leaves stamp set in the upper left.

I made samples of some of the die-cuts I have to help showcase how they can be used.

Next is my Regal Winter display:

I shared a few of these cards on last week's Live video which you can here and another one here.

Next is the Nest of Winter suite which is filled with wood grains, birds and nature.

I shared some of these cards in this video seen here.

I created a sample for the dies in this suite too. I should have colored them in but I didn't take the time.

I'll share more soon!
