Nature Walk card kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial option. Both include the exclusive video!

February 10, 2026

I had to feature the Nature Walk designer paper for a card kit & tutorial. It’s just gorgeous with deep, rich prints.

I paired it with the new Covered in Flowers Accents from the Spring catalog, the retiring butterflies and White Baker’s Twine. See those pretty floral & botanical die-cuts on the cards? That’s the Flower Accents! They come in a large single sheet of thick pre-cut pieces. They’re white but can be colored or textured. They were so fun to use on these cards!

3 of the 5 designs are fun fold layouts. The kit & tutorial include 2 of each. You can choose from the PDF tutorial for $16 or the pre-cut card kit which includes up to $20 in Stampin’ Up! product for just $31.

Everything is cut for you in this kit except for your new 1/2 package of the designer paper. You will need your own greeting images, inks, adhesives and paper trimmer.

Reserve your kit here. Purchase the PDF tutorial here. It includes step by step directions, photos, a supply list and measurements.

The tutorial with exclusive video link is sent via email immediately after purchase. The kit is sent at the end of February.

See all of my kits here! There are TWO more added to the Shop this month!

We swapped Fun Fold cards with my team in February and they knocked it out of the park! I've already shared quite a few of their cards with you and today I have more yet!

First up today is a pretty card made by Karen. She found a new fun fold that's a take on a 'book-binding' fold but now completely new with just one additional piece.

Simple Direct to Paper Technique for quick gorgeous cards! Plus 6 ways to add ribbon! Video & free project sheet too!

February 20, 2024

On last week's Live video I focused on the Most Adored specialty designer paper and shared the Direct to Paper technique and these gorgeous cards:

Save

Anytime we have designer papers with foil designs I think of this fun technique! It's basically rubbing or tapping your water based ink pad onto the designer paper. The ink soaks into the background but resists the foil designs. Simply wipe the excess ink off the foil with a tissue – done!

Save

The colors above are Azure Afternoon and Pretty Peacock. Notice the different ribbon techniques and layouts. The left card has loops of ribbon added to the greeting label; the right has a simple fold of ribbon.

Each card has two main pieces – the designer paper is 3" X 4" and the layered, coordinating card stock is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4". Check out the different layouts with these basic pieces.

Save

The left card above is Highland Heather and the right is Sweet Sorbet. A few more examples of ways to add ribbon and change up this simple layout. I added two thin strips of ribbon across the left card and tied a bow around the window frame on the right.

Remember this pretty specialty paper is available through February during Sale-a-Bration. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it here.

Keeping to a basic layout like this is a wonderful way to get a bunch of cards done quickly and use up your designer paper at the same time! I chose the Charming Sentiments stamp set for all of my greetings.

Save

The colors above are Copper Clay and Pebbled Path – 2 of our newest in colors. Ribbon uses include a flag and a double bow.

The free project sheet can be downloaded here: It's also a great reference for ways to add ribbon! Download Direct to Paper technique with 6 ways to add ribbon

I hope you're inspired by the simply card idea, the technique and the 6 ways to add ribbon! Watch the video below to see this technique in action!

Have you seen or made a 'Cascading Pleats' fun fold card before? They're so cool and actually quite easy to make.

It's free with any $50 order through February during our Sale-a-Bration promotion – or while supplies last.

I have full measurements in my free project tutorial below but it will help you a lot to watch the video.
