Fresh, new color combination with Inked &Tiled – fun fold with video tutorial too

May 18, 2023

I've been working double time getting ready to leave for our Norway cruise – this year's incentive trip with Stampin' Up! I'm thrilled to go on this year's trip with my husband. He's a fabulous traveling partner!

Depending on WIFI, I hope to share photos on Facebook and Instagram while we're gone.

"Fewer than 1% of Stampin’ Up!’s demonstrators worldwide achieve this trip."

I'm not usually a Subtles or Neutrals kind of gal but I sure love this beautiful color combination! It's Gray Granite, Petal Pink with a bit of our new Pebbled Path.

Save

What do you think? I haven't Gray Granite often because I never found a color to pair it with. But Pebbled Path is gorgeous and among the same color tones. And add Petal Pink and it's beautiful!

I stamped the large leaf image repeatedly on the Gray Granite layer. The greeting is on a white die-cut from the Timeless Arrangements dies. I added a few of the pretty die-cuts under the greeting before layering a folded piece of ribbon (Ribbon Duo Combo Pack) and then to the punched & textured Petal Pink circle.

My card is an easy Z-fold – 4 1/4" X 11" card base scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

I added lots of texture with the Timeless Arrangements dies. The pretty 'Hello' greeting is from the new Layering Leaves stamp set. It's a new favorite and I LOVE that it matches the Bough punch! See it here.

Two more card kits & tutorial are now available for pre-order!

October 7, 2026

I chose the Painted Patch designer series paper for one of my October card kits & tutorials (I have 3 this month!). The colors are incredible together and the patterns are fresh & fun. Look at these Fun Fold cards!

Save

This card kit includes 5 sets of cards and you’ll make 2 of each one. This kit is all unique fun fold layouts.

I paired the Painted Patch DSP with the Painted Patch gems and the Calypso Coral & Copper ribbon. You’ll get a share of each of these products along with the 10 pre-cut cards and the PDF tutorial. Everything is pre-cut for you except the package of DSP. You’ll use the directions in the tutorial to cut your new paper. It’s so easy to create these cards when it’s all ready to go.

I create my kits so you do not need a specific stamp set to finish them. All you need are some greeting images and a few inks.

This kit can be seen here. It’s $32 plus shipping (order more than one to save $$). There is also a PDF tutorial available for $17. See that here.

The tutorials are emailed to you immediately after payment. The pre-cut kits are mailed out at the end of October.

I’ll share the third card kit tomorrow; it’s a Christmas card kit! Here’s a sneak peek:

You can see it here on my Shop.

Quick & easy card layout to make multiples of; with measurements & free project sheet

October 5, 2026

I shared multiple cards using this neat layout on last week’s video. I was inspired by a card I received from my friend & team member Judith.

Save

The designer paper is called Autumn Opulence and can be seen here. This specialty pack includes two pages of coordinating printed die-cuts.

Save

I think this layout is a great way to use your designer paper. You can get lots from each sheet and make multiple cards quickly.

The greeting is from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set.

Save

I used Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze and Vanilla for my colors. That textured layer is made with the Softly Woven embossing folder seen here.

I created a free project sheet for this card; it includes measurements, supplies list and directions. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card. I’ll share the other two cards soon.
