Check out this neat Botanical Expressions fun fold card

July 20, 2026

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It features a new die from the Online store called Botanical Expressions:

You can see a glimpse of the die in the photo above. It cuts the leaves out but not the edge, so you can make the leaf element as wide as you’d like. See this die here.

My colors include White with Peaceful Pine. The designer paper is the Moonlit Flora DSP seen here. The greeting tag is from the Scalloped Blooms dies. I’ve been using the greeting tags in this set of dies a lot.

This card fold is what I’m calling a Vertical Book-binding Z-fold.

The greeting and butterflies are from the Fern & Flora bundle seen here

Here’s the free project sheet for this card with measurements & directions. Click here.

And below is the video showing you how to assemble this card plus my newest tutorials & card kits to go.

Don’t forget about the July Specials!

Sending Smiles card; a fabulous & versatile bundle with video

May 18, 2022

I made a bunch of these cards for a swap in April and also demonstrated it on FB Live last Tuesday here.

I LOVE the colors of Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis together. This new lime color of Parakeet Party brightens up our color line and it works with blues & purples beautifully!

Save

The Sending Smiles bundle seen here is wonderful and was #1 on my list of 'must have's'.

I made three projects on last week's Facebook Live using this fabulous bundle. See it here.

Save

I love the fact that they provided two sizes of the die-cut 'Sending'. The larger one fits under the finer die-cut like seen on the card below. But it also fits the stamped greeting image too. So smart!

You can create a variety of flowers with this bundle as you can see. This flower can be falling like wisteria or growing up like these here; they remind me of grape hyacinth.

Unique diagonal card layout using your Designer Paper

May 17, 2022
I've made a few of these cards lately; I just love the diagonal layout and how easy it is to stamp your greeting directly on the White layer.

It's made with the beautiful Hues of Happiness designer paper seen here. It's been my top seller this month! So far it's not on the low inventory list but I fear it will be the way it's going!

Save

I cut some of these flowers directly from the DSP using the Blossoming Happiness dies; they match up perfectly to many of the flowers in the paper.

I made a bunch of these cards for swaps in May in both colors seen below. This way I could use two different sheets of paper since they provided flowers in many hues.

Tip: The nice thing about this layout is that you don't have to measure your diagonal cut on the White CS perfectly. Mine are about 3/4" from the lower left and the upper right.

Save

The Melon Mambo card on the upper left is part of my Hues of Happiness card kit to go seen below. You get 1/2 pkg of this pretty DSP, a share of ribbon and Glossy dot gems in the kit for $28 plus shipping. Tomorrow (May 18th) is the last day to opt in for this pre-cut kit to go. See details on it here.

I used the Happiness Abounds bundle for these cards. See that here.

This card below is made with Fresh Freesia as it's card base. There are a nice variety of colors in this designer paper; so many card stock & ink colors will work with it.

Here are the measurements:
- Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
- White front 5” X 2 ¾” cut in half about 3/4" from the lower left and upper right
- DSP – 5” X 2 ¾”

For my In Color display board I made these 5 cards with the new Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle.

Save

These colors are so vibrant and striking; they are a wonderful addition to our Stampin' Up! color line.

I used this sketch for inspiration. I find card sketches can be one of the easiest ways to create and design a card.

Save

The squares of In Color Designer Paper are 2 1/4" and the White layers are 2 1/2". The greeting strips are 5/8" X 4 1/4".

Save

The sweet birds are stamped in each In Color and punched out with the Bird punch. I punched the wings from our In Color Glimmer Ombre paper.
