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.  

Save

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

  It's been 20 years since I joined Stampin' Up! this month.  It's hard to imagine my life without the benefit of all of my friends, team members and customers.

  Stampin' Up! has made an amazing difference in my life and my families.  I'm so blessed!  

  Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me.  I treasure each and every person I've met on this incredible journey.

• Awesome Dance with Me fun fold card

  January 22, 2025

  ---

  Look at this gorgeous fun fold card Karen made for our Sale-a-Bration Team swap this month!

  Save

  She used the Dance with Me stamp set and the Floral Delight designer paper.  I love the spotlight technique she did too!  You can see an example of it in the SAB catalog here.  This neat spotlight technique is done with masking paper and a blending brush. It's so easy! 

  This set is free through February with any $60 purchase.

  Her colors include Pool Party, White & Daffodil Delight.  She used the Stylish Shapes dies to create her window fun fold effect.  The greeting is from the Day to Celebrate stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

  Save

  I plan to create this fun fold next month but in the meantime here are her measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
  • White inside 8" X 5 " scored at 2", 3 1/2" & 5 1/2"
  • DSP front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside 1 1/4" X 4 3/4"
  • large circle die-cut is 3", white for the dancing couple is 2 1/2"

  Save

  I love this card!  Thanks for doing an awesome job Karen!
