CUTE Rain or Shine fun-fold card kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial option


When I saw the Rain or Shine specialty DSP I liked it but I didn't know I'd LOVE it until I played with it this weekend.  I thought it would be mostly for kids with cute animals (critters I call them) but it's so much more!  Each page of the designer paper has glossy accents on one side including rain, flowers, critters and clouds.  It's utterly charming! 

I decided that each card in this kit would be a fancy fold; some are simple and others a bit 'fancy' but they are easy to achieve with my tutorial.  Look at these!

The colors are both soft & bright – I chose to focus on Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive & Mango Melody.  A super fun and unique mix. 

This pre-cut kit to go includes the 10 pre-cut cards & all punched or die-cut elements, 1/2 pkg of the Rain or Shine specialty DSP, a share of White crinkled ribbon and Flat Adhesive-backed pearls. The PDF tutorial is free with the kit!  That's $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28. Get your kit here.   If you'd prefer the PDF tutorial only click here.  It's $15.  

Opt in by March 19th to get the pre-cut kit.  After that date I'll order the product and cut out the kits.  They will be mailed out via Priority Mail at the end of March, barring any back orders. *The PDF tutorial is sent to you via email from my Shop. 


You will need a paper trimmer (to cut your new DSP), adhesives, greeting images and Olive, Flirty Flamingo & Balmy blue ink pads.  I used the Playing in the Rain & Framed Occasions stamp sets for greetings but you can substitute others if needed. 

Add on the Playing in the Rain stamp set or bundle at 10% off!  Message me here for that option and I'll send you an invoice for it all. 

I have another new kit to go available in March – the Hello, Irresistible card kit.  See that here.   Get both and save $$. *Add on any other card kit with it and save on shipping costs!  Go here to see them all.  


*My monthly subscribers will receive the Hello, Irresistible card kit unless they switch to the Rain or Shine kit.

  • A neat way to show off your Designer Paper with this easy layout


    Here's one more special card  made with the Nests of Winter designer series paper.  This paper can be seen in the 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up! 

    I shared this card in a recent video along with two other fun fold cards. Scroll down to see it. 

    The colors are Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. I thought the textured CS strip with twine wrapped around it was the perfect addition to this pretty scene.  This folder is called Birch Wood. The greeting is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. 

    I like that you can really show off your Designer Paper as well as add texture with the strip of CS beside it. This would make a great card layout to mass produce! 

    I created a free project sheet you can download or print. Click on this link: Download Nests of Winter Sympathy card

  • A Pretty Nests of Winter Diagonal fold card from the upcoming Holiday catalog


    Release of Close to My Heart products today! 

    If you didn't realize it, Stampin' Up! purchased product from Close to My Heart Earlier this year and have taken on any CTMH Makers that wanted to continue promoting stamping & scrapbooking products.  In the future we will be offering a larger line of Scrapbooking products!  This is great news for scrappers! Super Exciting!! 

    Before we get to today's project, I wanted you to be aware of some new products in the Online Store today. These items includes former Close to My Heart products that have only been available to CTMH customers until today. Know that these items will likely sell out fast as there isn't a large quantity of products.  

    See it all here. 

    And now for some stamping projects – I love everything about this card!  

    It features a brand new suite called Nests of Winter which is seen in the upcoming 2024 Holiday catalog. We made it at a team meeting a few months ago and I shared it and two other cards on last week's Live video. 

    The birds & branch are from the Nests of Winter designer paper, as well as the birch paper too.  So pretty!  My large circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies which are currently unavailable (for the umpteenth time!).

    It's almost a fun fold;  it's basically a standard Pool Party card that has the front panel cut off on the diagonal.  The designer paper starts out at 4" X 5 1/4" and is cut on the diagonal for 2 cards. Tip – make sure you cut it at the right angle – from bottom right to upper left.  (I did it wrong and wasted a piece) 

    Here's the inside view: 

    This die-cut circle is from the Deckled Circle dies seen here. They're available only in the Online store right now. 

    Below is the video for other projects in this suite as well as sneak peaks of all of the upcoming 2024 Holiday Catalog designer papers!

  • Nests of Winter fun fold card with video tutorial & a free project sheet too!


    I shared this pretty fancy fold card on last week's Live video. It features an upcoming suite from the 2024 Holiday Catalog! This catalog goes live on Tuesday, September 3rd.  (If you're one of my customers you may have received yours by now!)

    *In the video seen here or below I also share ALL of the new Holiday designer papers!  

    If you like layers it has tons of them! The very back of the card is a quarter sized piece and then there's a 11" X 4 1/4" folded layer that is attached over it. It's really neat and quite simple as well.  I created a project sheet for it too which you can see below. 

    My colors include Garden Green, White & Moody Mauve. The Designer Paper is from the Wildly Flowering pack in the annual catalog. 

    That pretty greenery die-cut is from the Winterly Tree Tops bundle in the 2024 Holiday Catalog.  I colored it in with Blends markers. The circle & greeting layers are sponged lightly with green ink.  

    Here's the free project sheet; click on the following link to download or print it:  Download Winterly Tree Tops center fold card

    Below you can see all of the cards I made with this new suite called Nests of Winter. I'll share those in the next few days. 

    Below is the video tutorial for this card as well as sneak peaks of all of the upcoming 2024 Holiday Catalog designer papers!
