Masterfully Made & Wanted to Say quick card ideas with video tips

And our annual Stampin' Sale is done!  Each June my customers and I host a paper crafting sale – this year we had 30 sellers and we had a fabulous turnout!

That photo was just the stamps for sale; we had so much more!  I wish you could be here for it, but I know it is a long way for some to Minot, ND.  But if you're near me, plan for the weekend after Father's Day. Make a road trip if you can.  
We had one person come from St. Louis and another who was in town visiting from Peru!  They were so glad to be here for this annual event.

Last week I shared three card ideas featuring three products: Masterfully Made designer series paper, Wanted to Say dies and Border Basics dies. Here's one of them:

The Masterfully Made designer paper features a torn edge look to a few of the sheets.  I chose this one because of it's beautiful colors.  I added Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Azure Afternoon in the die-cuts from the Wanted to Say dies.  This set of dies has a detailed and a layered die for each set of words in the set, plus a bunch of other dies like the flowers I used here. You can see them here.

The angled border on the White card base is die-cut with the Basic Borders dies seen here.  I love these and use them often.  You can see them here.  I saved the piece I die-cut and used it on another card.  Here are both of the cards I made, using two different sheets of the Masterfully Made DSP.

You can see this beautiful designer paper here.  It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

As you can see, there is no stamping on the front.  But I did add a greeting to the inside:

• Pretty Florals fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

  May 5, 2025

  ---

  Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video.  It' features lots of new products from the 2025-26 Annual Catalog. Yay! This catalog & lost of new product goes live tomorrow! 

  Save

  My colors include Misty Moonlight with Timid Tiger and White.  The floral stamp set is called Pretty Florals and will be available on May 6th. The greeting is from the Blooming Phrases set.  

  I believe this fun fold is called a diamond fold.  It starts out with a 11" X 4 1/4" card base with two score lines.  Where the diamond layers are added is the second score line.  Simply trim off the excess on the left side of the diamond layers.  *watch the video here to understand

  Save

  This is one of those cards where the video helps you more than a tutorial does.  Please watch the video below to understand how this fold works. 

  But if you like having the instructions with measurements here's the free project tutorial for you.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Pretty Florals diamond fold

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more too. Both are made with this upcoming bundle from the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog. It goes live on May 6th.

• Yay! My New Catalog Launch Party is tomorrow!

  May 2, 2025

  ---

  With each new catalog I host an open house for my local customers.  I love prepping for these because it gets my display boards done.  The best part is that I get to see people I don't get see regularly.  It's a joy to watch friends meet up and visit while browsing the new catalog. I also truly enjoy planning my menu and treating them to lots of yummy food. 

  Save

  This event is in Minot, ND at my home studio. If you're local I hope you can stop in and pick up your new catalog!

  One of the most popular things I offer with the new Annual Catalog is my In Color bundle.  They love getting the new colors in a great sampling of new color products they can enjoy right away.
