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.

March 1, 2023

The online exclusives are available today for everyone! There are LOTS of brand new products! NEW bundles, gorgeous NEW dies and more!! Check them all out here.

Here's a little preview of most of the new items! *Use the arrows to see them all.

Demonstrators were able to pre-order the Hello, Irresistible suite in February and I had a blast playing with these gorgeous products. In fact I focused on them on last week's FB Live video. You can see it here.

Here's one of my favorite cards I shared in the video. It shows off the stunning Naturally Gilded specialty paper.

If you look at the background in the photo above you'll see the paper as is. I added black on the background. The printed designs are in silver which leaves a white background. I knew the Silver would resist my Black Memento ink so I rubbed the ink pad directly onto the paper. After it was nice and black I wiped off the black ink that was floating on the Silver designs. So cool and super easy!

I used the leaves dies in the Irresistible Blooms and the greeting from the coordinating stamp set here. I hope you watch the video; I believe it's the last project.

Below are some of the cards I shared in the video plus a cool bag to gift the cards in. This is one of our Embossed Treat Bags on page 140 of the Annual Catalog. There are 10 in a pack for $7.50. They fit standard cards and they're also food safe!

As you can see I had a great time playing with this cool bundle. It's fabulous and I love the Hello, Irresistible designer paper so much I'm featuring it for one of my card kits to go in March. Stay tuned for details soon!

Below is the video where I share this technique plus a shaker card and a fun fold too. Don't forget to follow me on YouTube here.

Favored Flowers and Beautifully Happy – lots of ideas to inspire you!

February 27, 2023
Today I'm featuring the Favored Flowers and Beautifully Happy Sale-a-Bration choices. This awesome promotion ends tomorrow! Do you have everything you want yet?

The Favored Flowers 12 X 12" DSP is filled with gorgeous florals and patterns. You can see it here.

Some people are fussy cutting these pretty flowers out but you can use the DSP as is too. It features these colors: Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink,

I am a little surprised it's still available. The Dainty Flowers DSP sold out and I thought this one would be next.

Next I'm featuring my favorite stamp set in the Sale-a-Bration catalog – the Beautifully Happy set.

There are three main reasons it's a favorite:
1. It's Distinktive and a 2-step set! Distinktive means it gives two or more hues of color with one stamping. Love these!
2. It's flowers! Botanical sets tend to be among my faves.
3. The greetings are wonderful; I especially like the mixed font.
4. Okay; here's a 4th reason – it doesn't have to be colored in. The solid stamps do it for you!
One of my favorite cards:

It's just a fabulous set! And it's free with any $100 purchase through Tuesday, February 28th. See it here.

I hope you find some inspiration among these samples.

More Sale-a-Bration samples shown tomorrow!
