My Team held a swap featuring Designer Paper and this is the card I created for it.  

I loved the 'Inked Folder' technique so much I wanted to feature it on my card.  You can see how it's done in the video here.  And more examples featuring this Pretty Flowers embossing folder here.  

This embossing folder is a free gift to anyone who places an online order over $50 in June. *See it here. 

I took the easy way out when I stamped my greetings.  Here are the steps for perfect stamping using the Stamparatus:

  1. I die-cut a bunch of the White labels (from the Hippo & Friends dies) first. 
  2. Then I placed the frame left over from die-cutting on my Stamparatus. 
  3. Lay your clean stamp on the label, positioning it in place. 
  4. Close the clear plate to 'grab' the stamp. 
  5. Ink the stamp and close the plate to stamp. 
  6. Repeat!   

The Black & White striped Designer Paper is from the Pattern Party host pack seen here.  It's free with Hostess Rewards.  How do you get host rewards?  If your order is over $150 you earn free product and can choose from anything in the catalog including the items on pages 170-171 which are marked down just for host rewards!

  • Easy Country Club Fun Fold card


    At first I thought this Country Club designer paper was just for people who liked to golf.  But once I had the paper in my hand it's sooo much more than that!  It is full of wonderful patterns and plaids too!  

    Today I'm sharing a project my Card Club gals received in April.  It's a unique fold that really shows of this cool designer paper. 

    The card opens up in the middle and the back is one flat piece.  Here are the measurements:

    • Night of Navy 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
    • Crushed Curry 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Country Club DSP 3" square on top and 1" X 3" on the bottom.
    • Green or Smoky slate strip is 3/4" X 4"

    I used the A Good Man stamp set for the greetings.  I added a knot of the Country Club Twine Combo pack beside the greeting with a mini glue dot.  

    Here's the project sheet with directions, measurements and products used.  You can download and save it or print it out. Download 2020 April Clubhouse birthday

    I'll have a few more cards featuring this designer paper tomorrow.

  • Use the Double Wonder Template to make 11 quick cards! Join me Thursday night!


    Do you ever planned a stamping session focusing on just a few products? It's easy to get overwhelmed with everything you own.  Using this method is actually quite liberating and fuels the creative process.  I've started doing that more and more often especially when planning my card kits to go.  I pick Stampin' Up! products from the same suite and choose some sketches or layouts for card ideas.  the process is so enjoyable this way!  

    Lately I've been seeing groups of cards using the Double Wonder template and had to try it.  It was originally designed by Shannon West from Stampin' Up!  It's so clever!! You start out with 2 pieces of 6" X 12" designer paper and using the pieces you can quickly have 11 finished cards!

    Look at these! I'll be making these cards Live tomorrow night at 7 pm CT. Join me either here on FB or on Zoom.  

    Here are the steps: 

    1. Pick out 2 different sheets of 6 X 12" designer paper and 11 card bases.  Make sure you have some ribbons or embellishments to match.  
    2. Use the template below to cut your designer paper; cutting both at once. 
    3. Grab some scraps of White and coordinating colors for punches/greetings. 
    4. Cut 4 pieces of layering card stock at 3 1/4" X 5" and one 3 3/4" square for the bonus card. (I used White)
    5. Choose a stamp set & ink to coordinate. 
    6. Or use the new Share Sunshine Covid-19 digital download like I did for my greetings. No stamping needed!  You can purchase that here. https://covid19.stampinup.com/products/giving-back-us-ca Price: $12.00 USD
    7. Come back here tomorrow night so we can stamp together.
    8. Or use this link to join via Zoom. *see tips on zoom meetings below  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88215870191

    I chose to use the new Ornate Garden designer paper for my cards.  Anything goes but a non directional design is best; try not to choose a paper that needs to be north and south.  


    Below is the template but click here to download the Double Wonder Designer Paper cards & template 

    Zoom meeting tips:

    1. You will need access to a camera and/or microphone to participate.
    2. You may need to download Zoom to join; depending on the device you are using. It's free!
