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!

Nothing’s Better Than fun fold card with video!
We made this CUTE card at my August Card Clubs with the Nothing's Better Than bundle seen here.
It's a triple flap gate-fold card! It's super easy to make and fun to open too. Check out the measurements AND the video below. Be sure to read the front AND the inside below. This stamp set is just plain FUN!
I chose to use Early Espresso with Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry. To get a lighter hue for the chocolate and cookies images I stamped off the Early Espresso ink first. Is it just me or do some of these images remind you of the Jetsons cartoon show?
Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one. Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4". Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.
The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set. See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here.
Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet. Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper!
I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips. The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.
Get the details on creating these techniques in the video below.
Remember I host Facebook Live videos 6 times a month! Each Tuesday at 11 am Central Time and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT. Check them out here:
This video is from a few weeks ago and the card kits mentioned are sold out. The pdf tutorials are still available however. Click here to see them.
I did use the Field of Flowers stamp set for the grass, flowers & dragonflies. I sponged the white card stock with Balmy Blue to remove the 'white' background. I added Shimmery Crystal Effects on the dragonflies and leaves on the top greeting piece.
