Hues of Happiness Card Kit to Go or PDF tutorial

I hadn't planned on featuring this designer paper for my May card kit to go but once I received it I had to use it!  If you love florals you will enjoy this card kit!  

Save

Stampin' Up! hit a home run with this paper!  It's filled with a beautiful variety of florals and ombre backgrounds.

I created 10 cards using color combinations in the DSP; many of which are fun fold designs. I used the Happiness Abounds stamp set for my greetings and a few extra accents inside.

You have a few choices if you're interested in this kit.  I have the PDF tutorial only, the pre-cut kit to go with the tutorial and you can also add on the stamp set or bundle with the pre-cut kit so you have it all!  

The PDF tutorial is emailed immediately after payment and the kit is sent out via Priority Mail at the end of May. 

**This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive. If you'd like to get a pre-cut kit filled with product AND a free PDF tutorial each month contact me here.  

The pre-cut kit includes the following, but be sure to opt in by May 18th:

• 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.  

  Save

  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. 

  Save

  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'.  

  Save

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

  Here's the free project sheet with measurements & a supplies list: Download Sentimental Framing latch fold card

  Below is the video for this card and TWO more with this neat bundle and the coordinating Celebratory Sips DSP seen here.   I love this colorful & unique paper; it's something completely different!

• 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!

  Save

  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. 

  Save

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

• Floral Charm fun-fold card kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial option

  July 10, 2025

  ---

  This is my second card kit to go I've created for July.  It features the new Floral Charm designer paper released in our newest Online Exclusives.  It's absolutely gorgeous designer paper!  

  Save

  My favorite thing about this pack of paper is that the reverse side of the pretty floral patterns have a coordinating solid print. So I created a batch of fancy fold cards to show them off!  

  The directions for these fun fold cards are included in the PDF tutorial plus there's a private video you'll get access to when you purchase either the kit or the PDF tutorial.  

  This kit to go includes the following products:

  • 1/2 pkg Floral Charm DSP (6" X 12")
  • a share of Peacock/Gold ribbon
  • a share of Shimmer dots
  • pre-cut or die-cut pieces for each of 10 cards
  • the PDF tutorial & video link 

  The kit to go is $31 and can be reserved here.  It is shipped out at the end of July. The PDF tutorial is $16 and can be seen here.  The tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. 

  *You will need stamp greetings, inks, a paper trimmer (to cut your new designer paper) and adhesives to finish the cards. 

  See all of my available kits to go and tutorials here.  Opt in for more than one to save on shipping costs! 

  *If you'd like to subscribe to receive a kit automatically each month please use the button below.  My subscribers get a free surprise every few months along with the guarantee of a beautiful kit full of products too!
