New Horizons Side-step Easel cards with video tutorial

I shared these fancy fold cards on a recent FB live and thought you'd like to see them too. I used the gorgeous New Horizons designer paper seen here.   

Each Tuesday at 11 am CT I host a FB live. Follow me on FB here so you don't miss anything.

It's a unique side-step card.  This one is a vertical layout.  See the horizontal layout below. My stamps include the On the Horizon bundle and Let's Sail bundle.  See those neat 'pebbles' I added to the bottom?  Those are in the 2022 January-June catalog but are currently out of stock.  They'll be back at the end of March.  

The global supply issues are affecting our product quite a bit.  Stampin' Up! is doing everything they can to keep us updated and getting our products as quickly as possible.

• Clever & Amazing interactive triple-tier cake card with video tutorial!

  May 15, 2023

  This card might look like an ordinary card with a layered cake on front but it's not!

  Each layer opens up to reveal more inside! Click on the very short video below to see it in action!

  The Bright & Beautiful designer paper is new in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog.  It's filled with fun and colorful patterns in many of our new core colors.  Love this paper!

  If you've followed me for awhile you know I like to create interesting fun fold cards. I saw something like this card online and knew my stampers would like to see it.  

  I cut strips or pieces of the Bright & Beautiful designer paper into sizes that would make a nicely layered cake.  Each piece is folded in half. Once you open them there's an inside message on each layer.  So cool! 

  And the best thing is that the middle star die-cut hold the lower flap closed which then holds each layer closed.

• Have you made a ‘Book-binding Easel’ card yet? It’s so neat!

  May 12, 2023

  This cool card is made like a traditional book binding fold but turned into an easel card too! 

  Save

  I used Berry Burst & Misty Moonlight or Blueberry Bushel for my layers. That cute tag on the front is from the Beautiful Balloons dies.  The stars that hold up the easel are die-cuts from the same dies.  You need to add a Dimensional on one of them. Watch the video here or scroll down.

  I stamped the inside with the banner in multiple colors, some stamped off.

  Here's what the card looks when it's flat:

• Beautiful Balloons with Bright & Beautiful designer series paper

  May 11, 2023

  ---

  I've been playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle and thought making my own background with the balloon images would be cool.  

  Save

  I chose a few of our newest colors to compliment the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper seen here.  My colors are Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Boho Blue.  I love that the images appear somewhat translucent like real balloons.

  *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in next month's card kit to go. 

  It's an easy fun fold card too. I stamped the greeting on a stamped large balloon and die-cut it with one of the dies in the bundle.   

  Measurements:

  • Bubble Bath card stock is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" & scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • designer paper is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" 
  • Black 3 3/8" X 4 5/8" 

  I had fun stamping the inside (3 1/2" X 4 3/4") with the balloon string and confetti images.
