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!

Pretty Team card swaps you don’t want to miss!

March 20, 2024

Today I'm continuing the March Team swap shares. Our theme was Online Exclusives and wow; did they show these products off!

First is a stunning card made by Jonna who chose to feature the Magnolia Mood bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Bubble Bath, Pebbled Path & Lost Lagoon. Her floral image is colored amazingly! She added a loop of the Bubble Bath ribbon and underneath the flower is a die-cut from the bundle. Her embossing folder is the Softly Sophisticated that is retired now.

Next is a fun fold card made by Paula. She featured the Friendship Royalty set seen here.

Save

This set and the Bright & Beautiful designer paper are not in our Online Exclusives but in the Annual catalog. She folded back the front fold 1" and added Bubble Bath CS to it. The front dies are from our Nested Essential dies seen here.

Here's the inside view which I love!

Save

That wand she created to add over the swirly stars image is genius! I just love her creativity!

Stop in tomorrow to see two more of our March Team swaps. You don't want to miss them!

Check out the many OnStage gifts, new products & In Colors!!

March 19, 2024

I had a fantastic time at OnStage in Houston with some of my Team last weekend. We spent three full days there and enjoyed fabulous displays, presentations and more. I thought I'd share some of the photos, products and gifts I received.

Save

I'll share more in detail on my FB Live later today. See it here on my page or later on YouTube. I'll also share a bunch of swaps too!

Save

This was the ribbon display; it was huge and so pretty! Do you spy any new colors here??

Save

They did two walls of designer paper in rainbow colors. These are not grouped in their paper packs but in color hues. What do you think of the background color?

Now for some upcoming new products…. Remember these were gifts for OnStage attendees and are not available to others yet. The new Annual catalog goes live on May 1st, 2024.

And here are the 5 new BEAUTIFUL In Colors for 2024-2026.

Save

They're just fabulous and will be super popular! From left to right, their names are Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink (yes it's back from years ago), Summer Splash, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock.

I'll be offering a special in April on the In Color card stock, ink pads, refills, gems and more. Stay tuned for the details. I usually bundle it all and offer free ribbon or markers with purchase.

We have a new color wheel!!

Save

We had one many years ago and this tool can be super helpful to those who struggle with color combos. I'll be sharing ways to use this tool in the near future.

Below is most of what I received while there. A few items are from prize patrols and a bonus class and some were in our beautiful new backpack when we checked in. *do you spy anything that doesn't belong here?

Save

The big peach case is a super neat craft box! I'll share more details on most of these items in my video today.

Save

This was a bundle I chose for my bonus class Thursday night. We received a bunch of products to create with including the new In Colors shown above. I love both the stamps & dies here!

Save

This was my Prize Patrol surprise – a set of 6" Lily Pond Lane designer. It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite with a stamp set & dies bundle & pretty gems.

Here's a photo of the new & beautiful Annual Catalog cover:

Simply Zinnias dies are the focus of this easy fun fold

March 18, 2024

I shared this striking card on last week's Live video. I focused on the Flowering Zinnias suite.

Save

My colors include Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Black, Flirty Flamingo & White.

I textured the Melon Mambo layer with the new Zinnia 3D embossing folder and created the two flowers & leaves from the Simply Zinnias dies. See all of the Zinnia products here.

The greeting is from the new Comforting Thoughts stamp set seen here. I LOVE this set! It includes so many greetings I'd actually use!
