Swedish Stars in both Shimmer Vellum & Simply Marbelous Designer Paper with easy video tutorial

January 3, 2022

Have you seen some of these fancy folded stars online and thought you could never make them? Well this one is so much easier than it looks and I made them on a FB Live recently.

Save

Honestly they are quite easy. Basically you need a 6 X 6" piece of Designer paper – twelve 1/2" X 6" strips to create them. I did add a medallion in the center but it's not necessary at all. Here I used the brand new Simply Marbelous designer paper from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's available in 6 different colors and absolutely gorgeous!!

I also made a few in our 2021-23 In Color Shimmer seen here & Gold Shimmer vellum seen here. I used snowflakes from the So Many Snowflakes dies in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

You can see the video below; I share these beautiful Swedish stars as well as a two cards featuring a brand new stamp set; Calming Camellia!

A new fun fold card with the Nature Walk suite; wow!

February 6, 2026

Karen’s swap card blows me away! I haven’t seen a card fold like this one before and I just love her color choices too.

Save

Isn’t it beautiful?! Can you tell that the front, main layers are ‘caught’ on the diagonal textured layer on the lower left? That’s what is keeping the flap tucked in.
This is how it opens:

Her colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & Basic White. I’ll share measurements below.
Did you catch the pretty textured layer? That’s the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. And did you notice the ‘wood look’ die-cut in Olive near the greeting? That and the greeting are included the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.

She used the Nature Walk suite for her card which includes gorgeous nature focused products. See it all here.

Here’s how she finished the inside of her card:

Measurements as follows:

-card base 7″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
