Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!

August 15, 2022

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!

Save

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.

Trusty Toolbox Bridge fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

January 8, 2024

If you love fun folds you'll appreciate my weekly videos. I like to share fancy fold cards or techniques in my Tuesday Live videos – seen each week at 11 am CT. If you enjoy watching Live please subscribe to my Facebook page here. Or watch them later on my YouTube channel here.

Don't you love this special card?! Men's cards can be hard to make; many of use gals lean towards florals don't we? I appreciate when Stampin' Up! brings us products we can make for our men.

My colors include Black, Poppy Parade, Pebbled Path, Gray Granite & White. This special designer paper can be earned free now during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase through Stampin' Up!. See it here. I think Stampin' Up! was so clever to create designer paper that mimics tools, toolbox and peg board!

I suggest ordering the Trusty Toolbox bundle and then choose the designer paper as your free Sale-a-Bration choice. See the bundle here online.

Below you can see both projects I shared during the video. I'm loving this amazing bundle & designer paper combo!

I shared this sweet Hot Air Balloon bridge card in the video too. The measurements are the same for both cards.

Heartfelt Hellos; a quick card featuring 4 Sale-a-Bration choices!

January 5, 2024
Here's another card swap I made recently. This one features 4 different Sale-a-Bration choices.

Save

Here are the 4 products I featured on this card; all from the Sale-a-Bration catalog that goes Live Thursday, January 4th.
- 1st – the beautiful Flight & Airy designer paper. Gorgeous 12 X 12" designer paper featuring birds & florals. *free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order
- 2nd – the new Heartfelt Hellos stamp set; it's a $50 choice in our Sale-a-Bration catalog. It has 6 pretty greetings that all work with the new Heartfelt Hexagon punch (2024 Spring catalog)
- 3rd – The Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – seen on the Calypso Coral banner. It's paired with the Softly Sophisticated stamp set and free with a $100 order.
- 4th – the gems are called Opaque Faceted Gems and are free with a $50 order.
Save

My colors include Pecan Pie, Calypso Coral, White & Misty Moonlight – all featured in the Flight & Airy designer paper.

The circle is 2 3/8" and works nicely with the new Heartfelt Hexagon punch.

Save

It's a beautifully simple layout that would be perfect to mass produce using your favorite designer paper. You could add extra layers if you prefer that; but sometimes it's good to let the pretty paper or greeting be the star.

Measurements:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
- Designer paper 3" X 4" (you can get 12 from one sheet of 12" designer series paper!)
- Banner is 5 1/4" X 1 1/4"
