Double-Decker fun fold card with video tutorial and free project sheet

Here's the second card we made at my September card clubs. It's a 'Double-Decker' fun fold card. 

Save

It features the pretty All About Autumn specialty paper that is so popular it's been hard to keep in stock! It should be back around the middle of October.  See it here.  

Save

For the circle die-cuts I chose to use both Stylish Shapes for the Vanilla circles and Deckled circle dies for the Early Espresso circle.  The die-cuts in Vanilla & Copper Clay are from the Magical Meadow dies.

The greetings are from one of my favorite stamp sets in the Holiday catalog – So Sincere.

A double-decker card is where the center layer is popped up by a small box attached to the inside, back of the card like this.

Save

You need to adhere the back layer before adding this box. Then you top it with your center layer; for my version it's a piece of designer paper.

Save

I added a second circle to the inside designer paper layer for signing.  But one of my smart customers thought of adding it to the back so it doesn't cover up any of the pretty paper. A great idea!

• Textures & Frames; who knew you could create such fun & variety?!

  September 24, 2021

  ---

  At first this stamp set baffled me; what would I do with it?  Well leave it up to the creativity of others to spark my own!  I got some ideas online and all of a sudden I couldn't stop! 

  I shared all of these cards and tips on making them on this week's Tuesday FB Live.  Look!

  Save

  The card above is my favorite.  It truly makes me smile!  That sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with a $300 order through Sept 30th.  See it here. 

  Save

  You may wonder how I achieved that perfectly shaped smile on these faces.  I searched all of my stamp sets for a circle shape and found one in the cat in the Cute Halloween set.  Watch the video here or seen below to see how I did it.  The eyes are clear rhinestones colored Black with my Blends marker.  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and Pacific Point. 

  In the video I also share a neat tip on getting a smaller Postage shape from our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.  

  If you love quirky and unique get this while you can.  This fun Textures & Frames stamp set is free with a $50 through the end of September. *stock up on your favorites and earn it free! 

  ~~~

  This next card uses the same solid circle image to create a colorful background for the nice, large greeting in the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set.  I also used the Basic Border dies to create the eye catching rick-rack border trim. 

  Save

  These colors include Fresh Freesia, Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green. 

  ~~~

  Next I added some vellum dragonflies to a colorful column on this White card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.  

  Save

  The greeting is also from the wonderful In Your Words stamp set; I fussy cute it and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

  ~~~

  I love this one too!  It's cased from my Team Member Tracey.  I had to make one in these colors.  

  Save

  The die-cut swirl is from the Painted Labels dies and again the greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set. 

  ~~~

  I was inspired by the card on the lower right (seen by other Demo's) to create one with TALL candles!  I used my Stamparatus for both of these cards!  Watch how in the video below or click here. 

  Save

  These colors include Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point & Crushed Curry. The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. 

  Which is your favorite??

  ~~~

  And lastly is a simple card using the open circle image and a few stars die-cut with the Stitched Stars dies and our Rainbow Glimmer paper.  

  Save

  The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set.  I love how easy you can create a masculine card with this unique stamp set!  

  Don't miss out if you want this set! It's unavailable after Sept 30th! You'll also get 10 free hand-made cards from me with a $50 order!  Details are below.

• CUTE Halloween cards

  September 23, 2021

  ---

  Our monthly Team swap was last Saturday and our theme was Halloween or Fall cards.  Here are two of them I'm happy to share with you.

  This first card was made by Lori.  She is featuring the Cute Halloween designer paper and the Picture This dies. 

  Save

  The pumpkin, ghost & cat are punched with the Halloween punch directly from the Cute Halloween designer paper seen here.  This punch is on back order until October 11th.  But you CAN still order it. 

  I really like how she added different patterns & textures behind each window from the Picture This die cut seen here.  And that peak of the black & white dsp behind it all really sets off the fun colors. 

  Next is a cute card made by Candy using the Clever Cats stamp set.  See it here. 

  Save

  That cat peeking from behind the pumpkin is adorable. Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black, Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie & White. Other products she used here are:

  • Double Oval punch
  • Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here
  • Parisian Flourish 3D folder

  I can see this stamp set be used all year.  These cats are hilarious and so true to life!

• Christmas Season is for Fall too! Watch the short video tutorial!

  September 22, 2021

  Here's one of the cards we made at my September card clubs.  It features the Christmas Season bundle.  But as you can see, it's not just for Christmas! 

  Save

  I love using non-traditional colors for Fall.  I used Cajun Craze, Bermuda Bay, Vanilla and Crushed Curry. We stamped the images and then added texture with the Timber or Timeworn Type 3D embossing folders.   

  Here's the Christmas Season bundle. Look at all you get!  Remember this bundle is FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit through September, 2021.  It's such a great deal; if you love Stampin' Up! products I honestly believe it's the best thing you can do for yourself.  Click here to get started saving money and enjoying being a part of the Stampin' Up! family.

  Or purchase this bundle and get a free Sale-a-Bration choice through September.

  The greetings are from the Biggest Wish set.  It's one of my very favorite sets!  It's so fun to layer the greetings!

  Save

   

  You might notice the pretty Dazzling leaf die-cuts here.  That is from the Sunflower dies and the Be Dazzling specialty paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Sadly it is out of stock now. 

  Save

  Click on the photo below to watch the short video tutorial on this card technique.  Or click here.

  Think of the many stamps you own that you could create a pretty background with.  Simply add a greeting tag over it.
