Quarter Diagonal cards; watch on FB Live tonight!


If you're like most stampers you have a LOT of Designer Paper stocked up.  I've been on a mission to use mine up and help you with ideas to use yours too.  There's always more we want; so here's a way to use some so you don't feel so bad about purchasing more!  Ha! 

Below are the cards we're making tonight on Facebook Live – Stamp with Me.  It's the 2nd and 4th Monday nights each month at 7:30 pm CT.  Join me here. 

Be sure to follow my FB page so you get notified when I'm live.  

I chose to use the Magic in the Night designer paper; seen here in our Halloween DSP in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  I love the colors of Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Black, Blackberry Bliss and White.  And as you can see some of the designs are not all Halloween!  

The greetings and die-cuts are from the Celebration Tidings Bundle seen here.  I love that it has multiple holidays and these dies are amazing! 

Here's how you create the diagonal layers; it's so easy! 

For 2 cards, cut 2 pieces of Designer paper (or card stock) at 4" X 5 1/4". Then cut each in half on the diagonal. Next put those pieces back together on your paper trimmer to reform the full piece (just placing; not gluing) and cut on the diagonal in the other direction. Now you'll have 4 triangle shaped pieces from one 4" X 5 1/4" piece.
I chose two coordinating pieces of DSP that would work on all 4 sides and that makes 2 full card fronts.

For the card below I chose to use the Gilded Autumn specialty DSP.  The colors here are Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Vanilla.

  • Modern Christmas Triple-Z card with video & free project sheet


    First; I’ll let you know I still have several Mystery Boxes left. Don’t miss the opportunity to get over $200 in free products! See the details here.

    I shared this super neat card on last week’s video. I love this fold! It looks like work but it’s so easy!

    Isn’t it fabulous?! I found several others online and had to try it. I chose to feature the Modern Christmas suite seen here.

    The scored lines to create this fold are simply 1″ & 3″ for both the card base and the 3 strips. Watch the video below to see how it’s put together.

    The main image of trees is stamped on the die-cut from Branching Out. See these dies here; they coordinate with the stamp set but stand alone too. The greeting is from the Traditional Labels bundle seen here. I cut a second die-cut in Gold and split it apart across the middle so it shows.

    Here’s how I stamped the back side:

    The trees & greetings are from the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the playful style of the stamp set.

    The card bekiw is the card I made during the video. I changed it up a bit.

    The beautiful gold & black paper (and the above trees DSP) is from the Modern Christmas DSP seen here. It’s so elegant and fits with the star die-cut from the Modern Christmas bundle quite well. The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

    I created a free project sheet for these cards. Click here to print or download it. I do recommend you create a file for project sheets or card ideas. It’s so handy to access it quickly.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another as well. Both feature this beautiful Modern Christmas suite. I’ll share the other card tomorrow.

  • Two more of my favorite kits. There are still Mystery Boxes left!


    My mystery boxes are selling well; be sure to grab yours while there are some left. *see below

    I wanted to share two more of my favorite kits from our Kit Collection seen here.

    First is a thank you kit called Thank You Kindly’. It’s an elegant set of cards that are both special & easy to make.

    They’re mostly white with gold foil accents & that stunning black pre-printed greeting. This is a non-stamping kit. It’s currently in low inventory so it will likely sell out soon. It’s just $14 and can be seen here.

    Next is the gorgeous Harvest Home Garland that can also be made into a wreath. It would be great for your Thanksgiving table or used as a wreath.

    It took me about 1 1/2 hours to make mine. I even added some sponging/blending to the paper leaves (which wasn’t in the directions. It have everything you need except hot glue – recommended to attach the leaves to the rope. It’s so pretty and I love the non-traditional colors that still have an autumn look. See it in the store here.

  • Gorgeous new kits available but look at these too!


    Each month Stampin’ Up! releases 2 new kits in our Kit Collection online. I’ll share both here with you. I expect these to sell out quickly. They will be re-ordered but then you have to wait!

    First is the Adventure Awaits kit. Retro cards with fun retro vehicles! It’s always great to have cards on hand for the guys too right?

    It includes 9 cards with envelopes with vellum ‘windows’. The greetings are pre-printed for easy creating.
    The kit is just $14. Click here to see it.

    Next is the Everyday Beauty kit. Gorgeous with gold foil accents.

    This one is also 9 cards but it includes a stamp set, block and ink pad too. It’s $25 and can be seen here.

    I had a chance to play with some of my kits from the Kit Collection this weekend and fell in love with this kit! The photo SU shared does not do it justice!

    See what I mean? Absolutely stunning cards and so easy as the greetings are printed. Remember that our kits are all inclusive; the only think you need is a scissors.
    This is the Brighten Your Day kit and can be seen here. Here are each set of cards shown separately.

    Which of these beauties is your favorite?

    I absolutely love having a kit or three handy for when I just want to create and not think or plan. We have over 20 available right now and they change monthly. These make wonderful gifts since they are all inclusive.
    You can see all of our kits here.
