If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.
Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.
In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.
This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Neat Double Decker pop-up card with measurements
Today I'm sharing a new pop-up fold – at least it's new to me! It's called a Double Decker pop up.
The inside 'box' that pops up the scalloped rectangle layer is adhered to both the side and back of the card. It folds flat when mailing but sure adds nice dimension when the card is opened.
I was surprised to see the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper back in stock. It was unavailable last week but it's back now. I featured it in one of my July card kits to go. See it here online.
I added a few die-cut trees on the right side. I colored them with Blends markers – adding brown and Gray Granite to the white. The greeting is from the Lasting Joy stamp set.
The Gray Granite card base is a simple 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Then you cut up to the score line at the 1 1/4" mark on front; on both sides.
I added designer paper to the center panel and also to both side panels. The horizontal piece 'spans' under the to side panels like this:
This card was included in both my PDF tutorial and the pre-cut card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold. I have just two kits left. You can see them both here along with other kits and tutorials.

I am surprised that the stamp set and dies are both there along with the pretty Soft Seafoam ribbon and the Open Leaf Trinkets.*Both are now just $1.25! Click on the blue highlighted words to see these items in the Clearance Rack.
I call it the 5 at a time technique. You stamp one sheet of neutral paper and then cut it into 5 pieces using my template below. And the neat thing is the layers under the stamped White card stock are also cut using a template. Just 2 sheets of card stock to make 5 card fronts! *Watch the video below or click here.
See how I stamped down the center of the White card stock on the photo above? Next I cut it using the template below:
The first template is what you stamp on. The one below is for the layers under the stamped pieces. It's just 1/8" larger for a nice thin layered accent.
