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!

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

March 25, 2025

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.

Save

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!

Save

I hope you'll watch the video below to see how to assemble this neat card. It's super fun to play with.

Double Easel fun fold card with video & free project sheet

March 24, 2025
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!

Last of the Clean & Simple Team swaps!

March 21, 2025

Today I'm sharing the last of the March Team swaps with the Clean & Simple theme. No designer paper!

Lori created with pretty card with the Linked Together bundle seen here.

Save

This bundle has stamps, dies and masks which is how she created her background. All using Bubble Bath ink!

Save

I love her soft background and the die accents she added by the greeting. Just gorgeous!

Save

Next is a pretty card made by Tracey. She chose to use the You are Remarkable stamp set seen here.

Save

She also stamped a soft background behind the flower using the Elements of Text set. Her color include Daffodil Delight & Crumb Cake with a bit of green on the leaves.

I love how she stamped the inside; that bee is adorable.

Save

And lastly is this beautiful all White card made by Jonna.

Save

White on White is hard to photograph; I wish you could see how elegant it is in person!

She used the Seaside Wishes bundle along with a bunch of score lines on the left side. This little touch anchors the seashells wonderfully!

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my talented team swaps this month!
