Pretty card with a unique layout and new Spring Catalog products

December 30, 2025

Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It features new product from the upcoming 2026 Spring catalog:

Isn’t it pretty? My colors include Pecan Pie with Basic Beige and a small strip of the Nature’s Walk designer series paper.

The stamp & dies bundle is called Nature’s Symphony. The textured triangle is the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. The greeting is from the new Prayer’s & Promises stamp set – it’s a wonderful new set for sympathy or thinking of you greetings. The greeting is the Labeled with Love punch seen here.

I’ll be sharing lots more new product in the next few weeks. In fact, in my weekly Live video today at 11 am CT I’ll share ALL of the new products I pre-ordered from both the 2026 Spring catalog and the newest Online Exclusives too. Join me here! Don’t forget to follow me so you’ll be notified with I go Live.

This layout is simply one extra ‘diagonal half’ of a 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock added to the card front. Easy but has a unique look to it. This could be designer paper or card stock like I did here.

Below is the video tutorial I shared last week. It includes a second fun fold card as well.

A few favorite craft storage tips

December 27, 2024

I thought I'd share some of my favorite ways to store my stamping products. Some people enjoy organizing more than creating!

First is how I store my stamp sets. In a dresser drawer. I purchased a few dressers from IKEA many years ago and they've held up very well despite multiple moves.

Here's a photo of my craft studio. I am very, very lucky to have such a beautiful room in our home for my business and classes.

Here's how I store my 8 1/2" X 11" card stock and paper scraps. In front of each color of card stock I keep a cello bag for the scraps in that color. I've used this method for years and it really helps me use my scraps.

Next is how I store my 12 X 12" designer paper and scrapbook pages.

It's a shoe storage cabinet! My 12 X 12" paper fits like it was made just for it! You can get two stacks side by side in it since it's about 30" wide. Plus it has a divider to fit even more paper above it. I love the way the doors hinge open. There are three doors and it's only about a foot deep.

Lastly here's how I store my inks, markers and ribbon. These are Stampin' Up! storage and they're fully customizable to fit what you need. Click here to see the options.

I love that it fits right on my work area for easy reach. As you can see I organize my inks in rainbow order. I'm not sure why my Blends aren't but I know my granddaughter will love to do that for me this week while she's here.

Diagonal Fun Fold with new products! Free project sheet & video too.

December 24, 2024

Today I'm sharing a neat fun fold I hadn't made for awhile. It's a diagonal fold that is fun and easy.

Save

I used a few new, upcoming products from both the 2025 Spring and the 2025 Sale-a-Bration catalogs. The greeting & punch are made with the Bright Borders set and coordinating To the Point punch. The designer paper is the Toadstool Gardens 6" DSP from the SAB catalog. It's free with any $60 purchase from January 7th – February 28th, 2025.

I made over 20 of them for a mail out swap I joined. The colors include Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green.

Save

I share how to make it in the video here and seen below. Basically it involves trimming off half of one side of the card base, flipping it and adhering it back to the card front. The only confusing this can be adding your designer paper. I suggest using a non-directional paper when trying this out.

Here's the free project sheet you can print or download. Click on the following link: Download Bright Borders Diagonal fun fold

Below is the video if you'd like to see how to assemble this card. I also share a pretty Sophisticated Sled project too.
