Fancy Fold Accordion Heart Doilies!


I dreamed of doing this fun accordion fold with the Heart Doilies in my sleep.  I rarely do that!  Do you?  


I shared how in this week's Facebook Live yesterday.  My FB Live's are usually on Tuesdays at 11 am but I was out of town so switched to Wednesday this week.  It's so simple!  And you could do this with many of our dies too!  Click below to see it.

I also traced the flap of my envelope onto the From My Heart specialty designer paper to make this card extra, extra special!  

Details:

  • The pretty soft scallops on the edge of the DSP are from the new Braided Border punch.  I did one length of it and cut it in half for both cards. 
  • The greeting is stamped on a Timeless Label punch and added to another Heart Doily.  The stamps are from the Heart to Heart stamp set seen here. 
  • I used the new sparkly Faceted Gems from the From My Heart Suite.  See them here
  • You get 40 Heart doilies in one package for $5.50; a great deal at .14 cents each.

Cutting:

  • I cut a strip of the From My Heart designer paper at 3" X 12" and cut that into two pieces 3" X 5 1/2" long.  The hearts are the reverse side of the pretty foil double sided designer paper on the envelope.  When you use these measurements you can get 8 cards from one sheet!  It's a great way to use up the designer paper you may be 'hoarding'. 
  • The white layer inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; my favorite size for inside cards as you can get 5 from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11".  

I folded each doily in half and glued each one to the next just on the outer curve.   I adhered the folded doilies to the card with either Tombo liquid adhesive or Tear & Tape; it's super strong!

  • Add color to the Sunflower 3D embossing folder. Wow!


    You’ve likely seen lots of cards made with the new Sunflower 3D embossing folder but have you seen any like this?!  

    We made this card at my August card clubs and it was a big hit!  Turquoise might not be a traditional color but it sure is pretty!  This technique will work beautifully with yellows & oranges too.

    We started by embossing a white layer of card stock with the embossing folder. Then using the debossed side, added Coastal Cabana ink to the petals with a sponge dauber.  

    Next we did the ‘direct to paper’ technique – rubbing our ink pad directly onto the embossed card stock – with Pecan Pie ink.  After that we did the same with Early Espresso ink.  This picked up the fine details in the embossing.  Gorgeous!!

    This Sunflower 3D embossing folder has been out of stock twice already and it’s in low inventory again!  You can see it here. Get it while it’s available!  Online Exclusive products are while supplies last…..

    Below is the video I made showing this technique.  I hope you watch it.  Don’t forget to follow me on YouTube here or Facebook here.

  • Changes are coming!


    Stampin’ Up! announced a few upcoming changes last week.  I mentioned and explained them in this video.  

    1. First up is the change in the type of stamps they’ll be offering.  Currently we have both red rubber/cling and clear photopolymer.  Starting in November all new stamps will be clear photopolymer.  

    Why? They are having difficulty sourcing the product needed to produce cling or red rubber stamps.  In addition they are not selling as well as photopolymer do.  It seems most people like the clear stamps; my customers have mentioned this to me too. 

    So for stamp sets from the current Annual and Holiday catalog here’s how it works going forward.  Once they run out of stock of the cling stamps they’ll switch over to clear photopolymer.  

    2. Next is the packaging.  Because most stamps will be in photopolymer after November they will be in new packaging – clear sleeves.  These will be approximately 5″ X 9″ in size.  They are phasing out the DVD cases.  However they will continue to offer them in 4 packs like they currently do.  See them here.  They will also offer bulk packs of the new thin sleeves as well.  

    3. The die-cut sleeves will change too and will be the same as the stamp set sleeves. They’ll now have photos of the dies on the cover like you see below. 

    4.  Lastly they are discontinuing our Stampin’ Write markers. The Blends markers are outselling these by far. And because they were originally intended to be used to color directly on red rubber stamps (as well as coloring) they won’t be needed for this.  

    In my opinion I love coloring with the Blends so much I would never use these for coloring. They leave lines on larger images where the Blends do not.  They color so smoothly!  

    All of our Stampin’ Write markers are now on the Last Chance list and will be available while supplies last.  If you love them I’d grab some while you can. See them here.

    Do you love to get shares of new products without purchasing full packages? I can help you with that!

    This is your chance to enjoy all the new Designer Series and Specialty Papers before deciding which full packs you’ll want to order. It’s the best way to get a sampling of each paper at a fraction of the price. There’s nothing like seeing and feeling the gorgeous new patterned papers in person—the catalog simply doesn’t do them justice. 

    This designer paper share includes every NEW designer and specialty paper in the upcoming 2025 Holiday Catalog and the newest Online Exclusives.  It’s 57 sheets of 6″ X 6″ designer papers for just $32 which includes shipping to you in the US only.  

    *If you’d like a double share (most at 6″ X 12″) let me know.  It’s $54 for that. (If you add on the embellishment share to the DSP share there is no added shipping costs).

    Click here to reserve your paper share. 

    But wait! I’m also offering an embellishment share too!  

    This share includes gems from 8 different packages for a total of 288 new embellishments from the 2025 Holiday catalog and the newest Online Exclusives.  

    It’s $16 for the embellishment share which includes shipping to you (US only).
