Triple Pane Bamboo Beauty with a masked moon

Two-toned cards can be especially striking and I think this Bamboo Beauty card done in greens proves the point.  

Save

I used just one color of ink here; Old Olive however the card base is Mossy Meadow.  I did stamp off once before stamping some of the images. I made this card in a recent FB Live video.  You can see it here.  Or scroll down to view it on my blog below. 

I started with a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of White CS.  I placed a post-it note mask made with a 1 3/4" circle on it for the moon before sponging and stamping.  It's really quite easy to do (see in the video)!

Afterwards I trimmed the stamped White CS into three pieces measuring 1 9/16th" wide. The tag is made with the Tailor Made Tags dies.

And here is the video where I share two more cards; scroll down to the end to see this card made.

  Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon & Pumpkin Pie.

  And lastly today is a perfectly Autumn card made by Gwen. It’s her first time swapping! She did a wonderful job!

  Save

  Each of these cards features the More Than Autumn bundle and they’re all so unique. It’s a pretty big bundle with a wide variety of images and dies. She used the new Gathering Together specialty paper seen here. She added a center strip under her images that’s 1 3/4″ wide. Cajun Craze with Very Vanilla are her card stock colors. The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies.

  Thanks for stopping in; I hope you enjoyed the card swaps today. I’ll share more soon!

• A neat vertical ‘Book Binding’ card fold with video tutorial

  September 16, 2025

  ---

  Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It’s a neat book binding card that’s vertical instead of the usual horizontal card.

  Save

  The colors include Gray Granite & Early Espresso with White. I chose these colors to match the Toile designer paper from the Holiday Catalog. See it here.

  Save

  The view above shows the card open. The card starts as a normal 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base but has two extra score lines. See the measurements and directions here on the free project sheet. Click on this link to download or print it.

  I made multiples of this card for an online swap I participated in. I love swapping and making multiples of the same card.

  Save

  Click play on the video below to see how it’s made.

  It features the new Branching Out bundle from the 2025 Holiday catalog from Stampin’ Up! See the bundle here.

  Save

  It opens with two flaps; one on the right opens first. Then the left does too. As you can see I textured the Olive layer with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder. The notched frame dies are included in the Branching Out bundle.

  The designer paper on the left is the Need for Tweed seen here.
