Easy stack & cut layout with Regal Winter with free project sheet & video


This is one of the cards I shared on last week's Live video.  I chose to feature the beautiful Regal Winter suite seen here. It's new from our 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up! 

Isn't the color combination pretty?  It's Blueberry Bushel with Wild Wheat & White.  It's interesting that I chose the color combo from the pretty Regal Winter designer series paper but afterwards I realized they are complimentary colors.  Check out pages 132-133 in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog. Blues & purple are complimentary colors with yellow hues. I explain how to do this this in my video seen here. 

If you have trouble combining colors together start with two main colors.  Using our designer papers as a starting point can make it quite easy. I tend to grab the card stock and hold them next to each other.  I can usually tell if they work well.  But if you can't try using our color wheel information on the pages above.  

Isn't that double die-cut pretty?  It comes as one die but cuts the main and the outer frame all at once. Click here to see the Regal Flora bundle and here for the Regal Winter designer paper. 

I stamped the leaf image in Wild Wheat and the blue flower is stamped & die-cut. Next I colored the white areas with a Wild Wheat Blends marker.  Love the golden highlights!

How did I cut the three pieces of designer paper for this card? I explain in the video below and in the tutorial above.  But basically you stack 3 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut into 3 pieces. It's incredibly gorgeous designer paper! 

As long as you cut them all together it does not matter where your cuts are. You'll get 3 card fronts from the pieces you'll get.  These are layered onto another 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock. 

Below is the video tutorial for this and one other card. I hope you watch it AND follow me on my YouTube channel too!

  • Check out this neat Botanical Expressions fun fold card


    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.

  • Another sample using DSP strips; the pretty Velvet Meadow DSP


    I shared a card using a strips technique a few days ago and wanted to share the card that inspired it today.

    Here are the products I used: Velvet Meadow DSP, Bubble Bath, Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine CS. The greeting is from the Flowering Meadow stamp set and the scalloped tags are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here.

    When using up your strips you can adhere them diagonally across your card stock, leaving a small space between each. Once this CS is filled in, trim off the excess on the edges.

    The Velvet Meadow specialty paper has a fuzzy, flocked feel to the flowers and some leaves. It’s luxurious! Check it out here.
    I fussy cut the flower and leaves to add to the greeting.
