I was inspired to make this fun chevron card fold when my friend Susie Wood shared hers with me.  It's a neat way to use your scraps of designer paper for a unique card front.  See hers here.  

I chose to use the Botanically Inked designer paper for my cards.

I made one before and one during a recent live video. See it here.  

I also created a project sheet with photos and measurements for you to print out.  I'm doing this for all of my video projects now! Download Chevron Designer Paper project sheet

I've used the Inked & Tiled stamp set a lot; I love the images and the greetings fit in the Double Oval punch perfectly! 

The designer paper is the Inked Botanicals seen here.

• A few favorite craft storage tips

  December 27, 2024

  ---

  I thought I'd share some of my favorite ways to store my stamping products.  Some people enjoy organizing more than creating! 

  First is how I store my stamp sets.  In a dresser drawer.  I purchased a few dressers from IKEA many years ago and they've held up very well despite multiple moves.

  Here's a photo of my craft studio.  I am very, very lucky to have such a beautiful room in our home for my business and classes. 

   

  Here's how I store my 8 1/2" X 11" card stock and paper scraps.  In front of each color of card stock I keep a cello bag for the scraps in that color. I've used this method for years and it really helps me use my scraps.

  Next is how I store my 12 X 12" designer paper and scrapbook pages. 

  Save

  It's a shoe storage cabinet! My 12 X 12" paper fits like it was made just for it!  You can get two stacks side by side in it since it's about 30" wide.    Plus it has a divider to fit even more paper above it.  I love the way the doors hinge open.  There are three doors and it's only about a foot deep.

  Lastly here's how I store my inks, markers and ribbon. These are Stampin' Up! storage and they're fully customizable to fit what you need.  Click here to see the options.

  I love that it fits right on my work area for easy reach. As you can see I organize my inks in rainbow order. I'm not sure why my Blends aren't but I know my granddaughter will love to do that for me this week while she's here.

• Diagonal Fun Fold with new products! Free project sheet & video too.

  December 24, 2024

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a neat fun fold I hadn't made for awhile.  It's a diagonal fold that is fun and easy. 

   

  Save

  I used a few new, upcoming products from both the 2025 Spring and the 2025 Sale-a-Bration catalogs.  The greeting & punch are made with the Bright Borders set and coordinating To the Point punch.  The designer paper is the Toadstool Gardens 6" DSP from the SAB catalog.  It's free with any $60 purchase from January 7th – February 28th, 2025.  

  I made over 20 of them for a mail out swap I joined.  The colors include Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green. 

   

  Save

  I share how to make it in the video here and seen below.  Basically it involves trimming off half of one side of the card base, flipping it and adhering it back to the card front.  The only confusing this can be adding your designer paper.  I suggest using a non-directional paper when trying this out. 

  Here's the free project sheet you can print or download. Click on the following link: Download Bright Borders Diagonal fun fold

  Below is the video if you'd like to see how to assemble this card. I also share a pretty Sophisticated Sled project too.
