I shared this super cute fun fold card on last week's Live video. It has lots of layers but it's so easy to make!

Save

Besides the bright, happy holiday colors in the Take a Bow DSP I love that this fun fold uses your cardstock efficiently. Each diagonally cut card base is one half of an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of CS. I forgot to take a photo of this aspect but I do share it in the video seen here.

Below is a photo that shows how it opens and the pocket available for the optional gift card.

Save

My colors include Real Red & Garden Green with White. The diagonal layers are also easy to do. Start with a rectangle and cut it in half on the diagonal making sure you cut it to match the diagonal.

My greeting & White die-cut is from the Christmas Labels bundle which is on the Last Chance list right now. See it here.

The Red die-cut is from Greetings of the Season dies and the pine bough die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops and made from the Festive Glimmer paper.

I added a double bow made from Red & White Baker's Twine and Peppermint dots that are currently unavailable but will return at the end of December. *They are NOT on the Last Chance list so they should be available for awhile!

Below is the video I made for this card and another super quick fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper! I hope you watch and make some.

Flowers for Every Season

June 11, 2020
The Flowers for Every Season paper pack is the only 6 X 6" papers in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog. Many people love the 6 X 6" papers; they find them easier to cut into for some reason.

I decided to use them for last week Monday night's Stamp with Me video. Here's a link to it on Facebook.

Save

This is one of my favorite I made so far with this paper; I love the new Misty Moonlight in color. Paired with Night of Navy and White is quite striking in my opinion. Monochrome cards can be so soothing!

I also used the Small Bloom punch, 2020-22 In Color Enamel Dots and the Pick a Punch.

Measurements:
- Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  DSP 3 1/2" square and 1" X 3 1/2"
  CS layer 5" X 3 3/4"
  CS strip; textured 3/4" X 4 1/4"
  Greeting banner/punch

Blossoms in Bloom cards; it’s pretty even without the die-cuts!

June 10, 2020

Today I'm sharing cards made with the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set. It comes with a gorgeous set of dies too but today it's all about the stamps.

First is a pretty card made by my friend Ruth Bingle. I always love her swap cards!

Save

She used the triple time stamping technique. This is where you cut out three layers of descending sizes of card stock and stamp on them all at the same time.

Her White layers are from smallest to larges: 2" X 3 1/4", 3" X 4 1/4" and 4" X 5 1/4". The Bumblebee layers are 2 1/4" X 3 1/2", 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" and the card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". This is a fun technique to do with many style of stamps to create your own background.

Next is a sweet & simple card I made combining Bumblebee with Gorgeous Grape.

Save

This stamp set is one of those where you stamp once and get multiple hues of color; all with one inking! Love this so much!

And last is a card where I stamped directly onto the designer paper.

Save

This is the In Good Taste designer paper seen here; it's full of amazing photo realistic textures like wood, tile and textiles. My colors are Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo with a touch of Bumblebee. The dies are from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here; my top pick for the most used/versatile dies so far!
