Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!

I can't stop using the Aspen dies!  I absolutely love this tree die-cut!  

Did you know these dies are free during August with our Sale-a-Bration promotion?  Any $100 Stampin' Up! order and they're yours free!

I created this card on last week's FB Live video.  You can watch it here.  

For the card front, I simply added a layer of the Rings of Love DSP behind it for a soft background.  You can keep it this simple or create your own background!  

However I made the inside of the card extra special with an Explosion fold. These look so difficult to do but honestly they're not!  Please watch the video; afterwards you'll want to make one!

The left card has the Rings of Love DSP and the card on the right features the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  For greetings I used the Soft Seedlings & Perched in a Tree stamp sets.

I also shared an easy ribbon trick in the video; if you have trouble with bows I hope you watch.

• Wow! Check out this fabulous fun fold that’s actually easy! Video & free project sheet too

  I'm super excited to share this neat fancy fold card with you today.  I made it on a recent video which I've added towards the bottom of this post.

  I chose to use the beautiful Botanical Textures DSP seen here with Petunia Pop, Black & White.

  It starts out with a 11" X 4 1/4" piece of card stock that you score three times.  Then you add a 'bridge or brace' in the center that does the fun pop-up work.  Watch the video to see how it's done. And check out the free project sheet below too.

  I stamped the greeting with the Linked Together stamp set and the leaves with the Textured Notes stamp set. The greeting die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. 

  It folds perfectly flat for mailing too!

• Double Easel fun fold card with video & free project sheet

  I shared this neat fun fold on last week's Live video.  I record them on Facebook Live then upload to YouTube so you can view them either place.

  My color combination is Summer Splash with Black & White.  The new Botanical Textures DSP inspired this fun fold card. 

  I love how the three butterflies die-cut is placed on 3 Black circles; they would have been lost if placed directly on the DSP. 

  We made this project at last week's Team gathering.  They loved it!
