Heart Shaped Triple Panel Gate-Fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet

February 24, 2025

I enjoyed casing my friend Susie Wood when I made this pretty card:

It features two Sale-a-Bration products: The Bloom Impressions designer series paper and the Heart Shaped bundle. Both are free with purchase through February 28th.

The Heart Shaped bundle includes the stamp set and coordinating dies. I notice this bundle is in low inventory today! See it here.

My card bases are Petunia Pop and the card stock panels are Blackberry Bliss. I love how the stamp under the die adds the pretty detail to the image.

As you can see below it's a gatefold card with the three panels added to the left side. See the free project sheet with measurements below:

The Color Coach is back!

December 20, 2024

If you struggle with coordinating colors the Color Coach can help. It provides multiple ways to find the perfect combinations.

Save

The Color Coach is Stampin' Up!'s version of the color wheel and is based on color theory—the combination of art and science that determines what colors look good together.

One side of the Color Coach has all current Stampin’ Up! colors (except Neutrals) laid out with a spinning wheel in the center. This center wheel gives you monochromatic, complementary, analogous, and triadic information about our colors. The back explains each of these concepts, plus our range of neutral colors.

It's $12.50 and can be seen here.

For example who would think Pretty Peacock and Pumpkin Pie would go together so well? They're on the edge of complimentary colors but work wonderfully!

Save

Below is a sample of an Analogous color combination. SU created designer papers with shades of similar colors using our Full of Life DSP in the Annual Catalog.

Save

Have a great weekend!

Adorable Card swaps featuring the Otterly Amazing suite

December 19, 2024

Today I'm sharing swaps that feature the adorable Otterly Amazing suite from our recent release of Online Exclusives.

First is a card made by Kelly Acheson.

Save

The placement of her DSP is unique and leaves room for the cute swimming fish at the bottom. She used the coordinating stamp & dies for her otter, coloring it with Blends markers. Her colors include Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

Next is a fun fold card by Tracy Jacobs.

Save

She made a cut on her card base and adhered the right side down which allowed the left side to open. Her colors include Gray Granite with White.

Measurements – card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". At the bottom right cut to the score line at the 1" mark. the DSP and inside White layer are 3" X 5 1/4". The punch is the Modern Oval punch from the Annual Catalog.

Save

Lastly we have a sweet card made by Julie Davison.

Save

Her colors include Old Olive, Early Espresso, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral. She cut the otter from the Otterly Amazing DSP seen here. Her circle punches and angled DSP add a bit of playfulness that matches up with the jumping otter.

See this suite here online.

Cute swaps with the Perfect Pairs

December 18, 2024

Today I'm sharing a few card swaps made by gals in a long distance swap.

First is a card made by Selene Kempton. She is someone I've recently become friends with and I cannot say enough about her huge heart and fun personality.

Save
I love her color choices of Petal Pink with Crumb Cake, White & Early Espresso. Cute layout too! Her cards are often among my favorites. The textured background is made with the Dashing Designs embossing folder seen here.

~~~

This next cute card was made by Kay Cogbill.

Save

She used the Marbled Elegance specialty DSP for the background and as a layer under her main image.

You can find this adorable Perfect Pairs stamp set here. It's in our online exclusives but that just means it's not seen in any printed catalog. Anyone can order these items!

Save

Here's another sample seen online in the SU store. Did you know that when you're looking at our product you can find multiple ideas from their samples?

I'll share more card swaps tomorrow.
