Unique Double Triangle fun fold with free project sheet & video

March 11, 2026

Today I’m sharing a super neat fun fold card from last week’s video. I featured brand new products from our Online store. The suite is called Delicate Dreams and it’s beautiful! See it here.

I shared two of the cards here in the last few days. Today I’m sharing the most unique one.

Both upper and lower triangles pull out to reveal this:

It’s made from two scored pieces that overlap in the center. I scored each on at 5 1/2″ and then at an angle as well. Please watch the video below to see how it’s done. It’s fairly confusing to use the tutorial only.

This is how it looks when you open the right side only.

I stamped the ‘wheat’ looking image using Stazon ink because the Earthen Toned Metallic foil would resist a water-based ink. This specialty foil paper coordinates beautifully with the bronze print in this DSP.

That pretty ribbon is the Secret Sea open weave ribbon. The greeting is from January’s product of the Month – the Fabulous Sayings stamp set. It’s sold out now; they’re available only while supplies last.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

Waves of Inspiration Sunset

March 16, 2022

Here's another card that's included in this month's Waves of Inspiration kit to go. The colors are gorgeous!

This card was inspired by another Demonstrator but I cannot find the name to give credit now. It's Balmy Blue with touches of Mango Melody. I used a Blending Brush to achieve that smooth shaded layer of Mango Melody & Balmy Blue.

Like I mentioned, this card is included in both the Kit go Go and the PDF tutorial and exclusive videos this month. The last day to get in on the pre-cut kit is tomorrow, March 17th. Get the details here.

The Kit to Go includes the Waves of Inspiration stamp set & dies, the 6 cards kit and videos & PDF tutorial for 11 cards for $74. Message me here to opt in for it; and I'll send you an invoice via PayPal.

Or if you order the Waves of the Ocean collection seen here from me you automatically receive the PDF tutorial and videos. Make note that the Waves of Inspiration bundle will be in the upcoming Annual catalog but the papers & gems will not.

Here is a photo of more of the cards included:

Free-form waves using the Floating Technique

March 15, 2022
We made this gorgeous 'wave' card at a Team meeting last month. I used the Waves of Inspiration bundle and a Blending Brush for the sky.

The colors are Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point and White. See those gorgeous gems? They're called Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels and there are 168 in a package for just $6.50! See them here.

I had a bunch of curvy foil pieces left over after die-cutting a bunch of these waves from the two blue colors in the Blue Foil paper seen here. I challenged myself to use them and came up with a free-form wave using the Floating Technique.

I adhered various die-cut foil pieces to a Window Sheet using Multipurpose liquid glue and added them to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. This take a bit of patience as you can imagine!

Here are some tips to achieve this:
- It's best if you start at the bottom and add just a few pieces. Let it set to dry.
- Adding a weight over them while they dry helps keep them flat. The foil likes to curl up.
- Next form the top of the wave. I used one of the long curved pieces for this.
- Add just a few pieces at a time and let them dry. They slide easily!
- Fill in the center of the wave a few at a time. Again, add weight over it all to set & dry.
- Trim off the sides of the Window sheet at 4" to fit the White layer. I fussy cut the top to match the foil wave.
- I adhered it to the textured 'Bark 3D' White 4" X 5 1/4" piece of CS with mini dimensionals.
This card is part of my Waves of Inspiration tutorial and video with 11 projects! This is available to anyone who purchases the Waves of the Ocean Collection from me or purchases my Waves of Inspiration kit to go.

Fun 4-Way Split Angled card idea; Live video tonight!

March 14, 2022
We're making these fun but easy cards on tonight's Facebook Live. It's at 7:30 pm CT here. I hope you can join me! If not it will be added to my YouTube channel here as well. *Be sure to follow me on FB so you won't miss these lives!

Every 2nd & 4th Monday night's I host a 'Stamp with Me' live on Facebook where we create striking cards using Designer Paper or a fun technique. If you're new to stamping you'll become more comfortable and efficient at it. If you're a seasoned stamper you'll still enjoy it and get new ideas to create.

Tonight I'll share a version of this card; I'm calling it a 4-way Split Angled card.

The card above features the Abstract Beauty specialty designer paper in the 2022 January-June catalog by Stampin' Up! It has splashes of color along with gold highlights. See it here.

If you want to make one of these you'll need card bases, DSP or stamps & ink and a greeting or die-cut like I used here.
- card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored in half at 5 1/2"
- Colored layer 4" X 5 1/4"
- DSP or stamped layer 3 3/4" X 5" (for a wider split use 3 1/2" X 4 3/4")
The Amazing Thanks dies have quickly become a favorite of mine. See those here.

The next example uses the Flowing Flowers stamp set in Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight. I stamped the images before I cut them in 4 pieces.

You might wonder – 'how do you cut these into 4 angled pieces?' Honestly I cut from the top to the bottom first, just estimating my angled cut. Then I held the two pieces back together and cut from the bottom left to the right side.

It does not have to be perfect! Honestly; just wing it; I dare you to do this without measuring.
