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.

Have you seen the clever Happy Houseplants kit?!

April 19, 2024

One of our most unique kits lately is the Happy Houseplant kit. It includes 4 frames with everything you need to create adorable home decor!

It's in our Kit Collection seen here and is all inclusive. That means it includes everything you need to create the 4 pieces of framed art all for just $25. They're 7" square when finished.

I think they're perfect to place in a hall, bathroom or a guest room. Maybe near a real plant as a coordinating accent.

A few tips on putting these together. The clear acrylic cover sheet has adhesive on both sides for protection. Remove them before assembling.

See how 3D they are? I used a bone folder to curl the plants a bit. The kit comes with Dimensionals for adding an elevated look.

Because the pre-cut plant layers are meant to be popped up for a 3D look I added foam adhesive strips seen here to the edges of my frame after I added the clear acrylic sheet. *don't look too close; I added the adhesive strips to the frame edges before I added the clear sheet and had to remove them!

I love the plants & pots this kit creates. What a beautiful set of home decor art!

This kit would make a fabulous gift for someone who has a new home and needs art, someone who likes to craft but not collect, or someone who is redecorating.

Sending Love Artist of the Month – party 2

April 17, 2024
Here are the second set of Sending Love cards by our Artist of the Month – Donna. See the first batch here.

First up today is a fabulous fun fold card.

I often forget to cut apart my sentiment like this. It sure adds a playful note!

The cute grass and mailbox die-cuts are all from the Sending Love bundle seen here. The stamp set & dies are returning in the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

It starts out as a vertical card with this cute mailbox scene. But when you open it…… you get a horizontal card!

I only opened the upper flap in the photo above. You can see how it turns from a vertical card to a landscape card. Here's what it looks like fully opened. I love that you can read the greetings either way!

Measurements:
- Balmy Blue card stock – 2 pieces at 10 1/4" X 4 1/4". Score each in at 4 3/4". Then mark at 4" and score from that mark to the outside corner. The two pieces are adhered together in the center (under the large white layer)
- White – inside is 5 1/4" X 4", side triangles started out at 3 3/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal.
~~~

Next is a sweet pocket card. Don't you love her beautiful sponging?!

This card has a hidden pocket between the layers. See that little envelope sticking out?

Measurements:
- Moody Mauve – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- Sponged Postage die-cut 3 5/8" X 5"
- Inside White 2 7/8" X 4 1/8"
- Bubble Bath 3" X 4 1/4"
~~~

Lastly is this adorable hello card with the cutest envelopes on front! These are also included in the Sending Love dies.

She also used the Deckled Circle dies and the Lighter Than Air designer paper (retiring). The envelopes match the DSP – Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly & Calypso Coral.

Thanks so much for creating and sharing these amazing cards with us Donna!!
