Yesterday was my weekly Facebook Live where I shared 3 projects featuring the Kite Delight stamp set in the 2022 January-June mini catalog. This cute stamp set is NOT coming back in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  See it here. 

I added all of the upcoming new In Colors to this card! 

The clouds are heat embossed on the Balmy Blue CS using White embossing powder.  The clouds are an outline stamp but I wanted to fill them in to look 'white'.  So I used my Chalk Marker to color them in and love the effect!  I am so sad to report that this neat Chalk Marker was on the retiring list and is already sold out.  You could use White craft ink or White chalk pastels and color it in too. 

The kite is stamped on White CS using Black Memento ink and colored in with the NEW In Color Blends markers. I fussy cut it and added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I stamped the sun image on a scrap of Daffodil Delight CS using Daffodil Delight ink and fussy cut it.  There is not a punch or dies to coordinate with this stamp set, but I didn't mind fussy cutting the kites or sun.  Easy to do! 

Here's a link to the video.  Or click on the photo below to watch how to make this card and two more using the Kite Delight stamp set!

  • Inked Botanicals Diagonal Z-fold card; with a free printable project sheet!


    Each month at my local Card Clubs we make at least one fun fold card.  Here's the  pretty card we made in August: 

    It's called a Diagonal Z-fold card.  You might think it looks a bit intimidating but it's really not.  I shared how to make it in a recent video seen here.  Plus I have a free project sheet for you as well!  Download Diagonal Z-fold card

    I textured the Lost Lagoon layer with either the 3D Basics folders or the Painted Texture 3D folder.  

    My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and White with a bit of Vellum added with the die-cut leaf (Gorgeously Made dies).  The other sprig and leaf are from the Bough punch (temporarily out of stock). 

    Below is the template I made.  You start out with an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock.  Make a mark at 3" down from the upper right and 3" up from the lower left.  Cut in half on the diagonal.  

    Then place the flat side of the card stock on your paper trimmer or scoring board and score at 4 1/4" and 8".  That's it!  

    To create the diagonal layers for each area you start with full rectangles like a normal card and cut off the upper portion at an angle. Measurements are given in the project sheet above.  

    I've used the Inked & Tiled stamp set a lot; I love the images and the greetings fit in the Double Oval punch perfectly! 

    The designer paper is the Inked Botanicals seen here.

  • Join me for a Free Fun Fold card class – Live tonight!


    We're making this neat Tuck & Fold 'Peek-a-Boo' card tonight on my Facebook Page here.  It starts at 7:30 pm CT Monday evening.  

    I encourage my followers to prep their pieces ahead of time and create along with me on the Live video. 

    You'll need the following pieces & tools:

    • Designer paper 6 X 6". Score it at 1 1/2" on all 4 sides.  Cut off all 4 corners. 
    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • Front & inside layers 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Greeting for front
    • White layer inside the DSP fold – 2 3/4" square 
    • Embellishments, adhesive, stamps & ink as desired 

    I'm using a brand new designer paper from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  It's called Garden Walk. It comes in 6 X 6" size – 48 sheets – 6 each of 6 designs.  

    **I'll be offering a designer paper share later this week; it includes eighty 6 X 6" pieces of our newest, beautiful designer papers – all for $37 including shipping!  Let me know if you want in on this; I'm taking names now and can invoice you after Wednesday.  

    Here's the inside view:  I saved 3 of the 4 cut off corners to create a unique way to add my greeting.  

    My card base is Calypso Coral as well as the ink. The stamps are both from a new set called So Sincere.  It's one of my very favorites in the Holiday catalog! 

    I hope you join me tomorrow night; Monday, August 28th at 7 pm CT here.  If you aren't on Facebook the video will be uploaded to my YouTube channel here. 

    Oh; did you spy the new embossing folder? It's called Distressed Tile; it is in the upcoming Holiday catalog.  

    The 'Celebrate' die-cut is from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.

  • AMAZING Gone Fishing Vest card


    We were all amazed at Jacki's swap card; look at this!!

    Our theme was to make a card without a greeting on it.  What a huge 'WOW' card she made!  

    She used Night of Navy, Real Red, Silver foil (online exclusive) and some Countryside Inn DSP for the pockets and inside trim. 

    Her card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" tall. It's scored 2 1/8" from each edge. She used circle dies to cut the arm holes and scored the collar to fold it back.  She also trimmed the bottom at angles and sponged the edges with Navy ink to give it depth. 

    I'm not sure how she cut the pockets.  But I know I would create one I'm happy with and then use it as a template to cut the rest.  She made over 10 of these; it took her many evenings to make them all.  Those of us lucky enough to get one sure appreciate it!!

    I am wondering how many people will be casing this incredible card….  

    All of the extra items in the pockets are from the Gone Fishing bundle; it has so many fabulous die-cuts in it.  See it here.
