Unique Charming Day fun fold card with video tutorial

August 25, 2025

I shared this cool fancy fold card on last week’s Live video. It looks like an ordinary card at first glance…

I colored the main floral image with a Wink of Stella and ink from my ink pads. Watch the video to see how it’s done.

I featured the Floral Charm DSP that’s discounted right now during the In Color promotion. See it here. It’s almost $2 off. My favorite thing about it is the color coordination. Each pattern has a soft, matching back side.

I also used the Charming Day bundle that coordinates with the DSP. See that here.

Here’s how the card opens. I’m calling it a double diagonal center fold card. The center stays in place but the outer triangles lift up and to the outside as shown below.

I have a complete project sheet for you with measurements, directions, supplies and photos. The video tutorial will help you understand how to assemble this card; see it below. Click on the following link to print or download this project sheet: Download Double Diagonal Center fold cards

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another super neat fun fold card; both featuring this beautiful paper and Charming Day bundle.

Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

April 18, 2025

Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played? We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!

I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards. These are mine:

Here are each of them below. The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand.

I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them.

Save

The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath. Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

See these pretty cards & envelopes here.

The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold.

The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock.

I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store

April 17, 2025

Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month. Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.

Save

You can find each of these kits and many more on this link. Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits. It's a lovely break from thinking and planning. But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits.

Save

My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit. I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day. What a perfect gift!
