Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

October 13, 2025

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.

Flight & Airy surprise accordion fold with video & free project sheet

February 5, 2024
I shared this beautiful card in last week's Live video. We also made it at my local Card Clubs as well.

Save

There are so many fabulous projects and features on this pretty card front I'll list them here:
- The colors are Fresh Freesia with Boho Blue & White.
- The Fresh Freesia layer is first cut with the Perennial Postage dies before texturing.
- The beautiful texture is from the Layering Floral 3D embossing folder seen here. I cannot recommend this folder enough! I rubbed my Craft White ink pad directly over the deep texture to highlight the flowers. *watch the video
- The pretty butterfly is from our Paper Butterfly Accents. We added Boho Blue & Fresh Freesia ink to it with Blending Brushes.
- The greeting stamps are from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set. It's one of our free choices with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration. See it here.
- The White greeting label is made by punching the ends of a 1" wide strip of card stock with our Handmade Tag punch. It's layered onto the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.
- See the Flight & Airy designer paper here. It's another free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order through February, or while supplies last.
- The inside layers were also made with the Perennial Postage dies (like the front layer)
But the coolest thing about this card is that you get a fun surprise once you open it!

Save

There's a full strip of Flight or Fancy designer paper inside, folded accordion style in the center. This leaves the outer areas flat for adding greetings etc. Remember there's a video tutorial to watch here or below.

Save

You can add more labels, greetings or punches on each of the accordion folds as well if you wish.

I love it when the inside is stamped to match the front!

Next is an adorable card made by Marla featuring the Sunny Days designer series paper seen here.

Save

I asked her where she found her cute basket shape and she cased it from an old valentine card she received from her grandmother years ago. Isn't that cool?!!

The greeting is from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set seen here. She fussy cut the strawberries from the Sunny Days designer paper. I just love this card!!

~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Karen G who featured the Flight & Airy designer paper seen here. It's free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through February 29th, or while supplies last.

Save

She cased the layout from Tracey Bradley I believe. Such a pretty and simple way to make this pretty designer paper the star!

The greeting and textured background are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle is fussy cut.

Save

The Flight & Airy designer series paper has been one of the most popular choices so far; I wonder how long it will last!

~~~

Lastly today is a card made by Karen A who also featured the Flight & Airy designer paper.

Save

She simply cut a selection of the birds with the Deckled Circle dies and made it the focus by keeping the rest of her card white. The White layers are textured with the beautiful Layered Florals embossing folder seen here.

It's a simple fun fold too!

Her fun fold is a 'Joy fold' turned on it's side. Very cool. It's filled with textures and two coordinating colors of Wild Wheat & Calypso Coral which are the colors in the pretty designer paper. Her greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated bundle and the Double Oval punch is used too.
