December 9, 2025

Go here to subscribe.

The font on this Merry Christmas stamp sold me on it. Just a little bit of the fun, curviness I love.

This Merry Christmas stamp is a true classic with a bit of that Victorian feel to it. I don’t often keep retired stamps but I will keep this one! It’s on sale now too; while supplies last. Click here to see it.

I paired it with the Traditions of Christmas designer paper here. It’s discounted and on the Last Chance list here. However it’s currently out of stock but should be back next week.
A bit of holly and berries with some ribbon and you’re done! As you can see I added the same DSP to my envelope flap. Now that makes a card extra special!

This next one features the Need for Tweed designer series paper. See that here. Fun prints with lots of texture. It’s also on sale right now and available while supplies last.

I stamped the inside with greetings from the Traditional Labels stamp set.

Aren’t they a beautiful set of cards! I will be making more of these and it’s a bonus that it uses up a nice piece of designer paper. No hoarding it!

Here’s the free project sheet for you. Click here to download or print it.

Corner DSP pop up fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet

March 18, 2025

I shared this card on last week's video and am happy to share it with you here today. I also have a free project sheet below too.

It features the Lovely Garden designer paper seen online here.

My card base is Melon Mambo with Black, White & Garden Green accents. The greeting is from the Layering Leaves stamp set and the Stylish Shapes dies.

I made a second version during the video (seen here) in different colors.

The stitched die-cut I used on the DSP is from the new Textured Notes dies seen here. I love these! I bet they'll sell fast!

I fussy cut extra flowers to pop up over the printed flower in the DSP.

Here's the template for the DSP part of this card. My generous friend Susie Wood shared this with me.

In the photo below you can see how this card opens. The DSP measures 6" side and 7 1/4" tall and is scored at 2" from the upper and left sides. Then fold it at an angle matching up the score lines. Watch the video below to understand this.

Here is the free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it. Download Lovely Garden Corner pop up

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another unique fun fold using the Lovely Garden designer series paper.

Pretty Center pop-out fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

March 17, 2025

I'm so excited to share this super neat fun fold card with you today! It's called a Center Pop-out fun fold. I found this neat fold from my friend Terri Gaines.

I chose to feature the Thankful Garden bundle seen here and the Lovely Garden Designer paper seen here.

I love these stencils! They are so easy to work with. Watch the video below for a special tip on lining them up.

This card looks like it might be hard to assemble but with the center 'brace' that helps the center panel pop out it's quite simple. It will really help you understand how to make it if you watch the video tutorial below.

My colors include Melon Mambo with Blueberry Bushel. Here's how the card looks with the inside brace added before I adhered the center panel:

I made the yellow/green version on the video to show a different color combo.

I colored the flowers by using the stencils included in the bundle. So easy and makes you look like a true artist with the high and low lights added with blending brushes.
