How to use the Sunflower 3D folder on Designer Paper; with video

August 18, 2025

The Sunflower 3D embossing folder is so popular I featured it on my team card swap this month. The theme was monochromatic.

What do you think? Can you guess what DSP I used here?

It’s the Country Home DSP seen here. Once I textured it I chose the debossed side (raised flowers are on the opposite side) to add ink to.

I first lightly rubbed Pecan Pie ink across the embossed surface. Then added a bit of Calypso Coral ink over that. The effect is quite subtle but so pretty.

This gorgeous Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here is out of stock right now. It’s so popular this is the second time they ran out! But you can put your name on a list (on the link above) to be notified when it becomes available again.

The greeting is from the Label Me Grateful set and stamped on an Arches die-cut and layered on another die-cut. My cardstock includes Pecan Pie, Basic Beige and Early Espresso.

Cheers & Sips card with the Everyday Arches dies; video & free project sheet too!

July 15, 2025

A simple fun fold with the Everyday Arches dies and the Cheers & Sips suite.

I fussy cut the two drinks from the designer paper for the front arch. The inside arch has the drink, umbrella and greeting stamped from the images in the set. The card base is Old Olive and scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". To get the arches lined up I encourage you to adhere the inside arch first and then close the card. Now adhere the front arch to match. Easy!

Super neat fun fold card that’s easy with my tips! Free project sheet & video tutorial

July 14, 2025

You're going to love this neat fun fold card I'm sharing today.

It doesn't look like much of a fun fold card does it? Look a bit closer to the right pink flap on this card; see how it's sticking up a bit at the bottom? That's where it opens.

I featured the Sentimental Framing stamp set seen here on the pretty greeting here.

The layered circles are from the Spotlight on Nature dies and the 2 3/8" circle punch. The leaf die-cut is from the Gallery Blooms dies. My colors include Bubble Bath with Mossy Meadow & Blackberry Bliss.

Here's how it opens. The horizontal strip holds the right side of the card base closed with a type of 'latch'.

I hope you watch the video below to see how easy this fold is.

3 Stamping Tips you need to know!

July 11, 2025
I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.
- how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
- standard card sizes and layers
- which ink to use when coloring with markers
First up is the ruler and card measurements. Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out.

Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images. It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color.

Save

I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:
- Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.
~~~

Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers. It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:
1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.
2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks.
3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp.

*I hope one or more of these tips help you. Let me know which one or two you learned from today.
