Center pop-out Fun fold card with video & free project sheet

September 8, 2025

This fun fold card I’m sharing today is super fun to open and to make. It looks like a normal card from this photo:

But look how it opens! The center pops out for a nice surprise.

My colors include Cajun Craze, Early Espresso & Basic Beige. The designer paper is from the Gathering Together pack seen here.

This designer paper is part of our Online Exclusives. To see all of these new items click here. Or download & save the Download Online Exclusives flyer

I used the Branching Out stamp set for the greeting and the fabulous new Traditional Labels dies seen here.

In the photo below you can see the scored bridge strip that pops out the center. To understand how to assemble this card please watch the video below. It will make sense then!

Petal Park with Kind & Sincere and a masked background technique with video tutorial

January 4, 2023

This is the other card I shared on my Stamp with Me Live on Monday evening. You can see it here on my YouTube Channel now.

I used post-it notes and a Blending Brush to achieve this soft line of color and then stamped my flowers and dotted image around it. I love the effect!

Save

I used a pretty color combination of Coastal Cabana with Night of Navy. What do you think of these together?

Save

I've created quite a few cards by combining these two stamp sets together. I'm not sure why; they seem to pair up so easily.

Save

I did stamp a set of flowers on a separate piece of White card stock and punched them out so I could curl the petals and pop them up. I like to add more dimension to my cards this way.

I also did the same with my smaller greeting, stamping it on a scrap of Coastal Cabana to add below the 'Thanks'.

Get 95 sheets of New Spring Catalog Designer Paper in my DSP paper share!

January 3, 2023

Many people like to see (& feel) the designer papers in person and it's so nice to have a sample of each one. This way you know if you want to order full packs or not. Plus it's great to have some of each so you can participate in challenges, swaps or just case/copy a cute sample you see online.

In my Spring Catalog designer paper share you'll receive 95 sheets of every single pack available! They're in 6 X 6" size and it's just $34 (plus shipping if needed).

Here's the link to opt in via my Shop.

Save

There are 14 different packs including 8 specialty papers like shimmer, vellum, pearl and foiled.

If you'd like to earn a Sale-a-Bration item with this order, adding on $32 in products will be enough for a free $50 choice or $72 for a $100 choice. *12" papers may need to be cut into 6 X 12" size to fit in the package.

Once each share is filled (I need 8 people) I will order the designer paper. Then it takes 7-10 days for it to arrive to me for cutting and packaging. So expect your paper share to take at least 2 weeks to arrive.

Here's the link to get the designer paper share. Remember this is limited and likely to last through January only.

Masked Blending Technique; join me Live tonight!

January 2, 2023

Happy New Year!!!

~~~

Tonight I'm sharing the Masked Blending technique on FB Live. It's at 7:30 pm here on FB. It will also be shared on my YouTube channel afterwards.

Each month (usually on the last Monday) I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my FB page. I post the project ahead of time so those who want to can prepare and create along with me.

Tonight we're playing with masking & blending brushes to create cards like these:

Save

I chose to use long post-it notes to 'mask' off the area I want to add color to. I used Coastal Cabana ink and our Blending Brushes. You can get an incredibly smooth look with these brushes. I'll share my favorite tips on using them in the video.

The stamp sets are all new in either the upcoming Spring or Sale-a-Bration catalogs. These catalogs go live on January 5th.

The card below is made with the Beautifully Happy stamp set. It's a 2-step set with 17 stamps in it. It's free with a $100 order from January 5 – February 28th.

Save

My colors include Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape & Fresh Freesia.

Save

I did stamp the large flower an extra time and fussy cut it so I could pop it up for added dimension.

Join me on Facebook here tonight at 7:30 pm CT or watch it later on my YouTube Channel here.
