Hi Stampers. Have you seen the new So Sentimental bundle? I’m just in Love with these dies! I used the So Sentimental bundle and the Tropical Oasis Designer Series paper to make this fun fold card.
This fun fold is easy, I just used a 11″ x 4-1/4″ card base, scored at 5-1/2″. The front panel was cut in half and turned the loose piece was turned sideways.
The I decorated this card using the Tropical Oasis DSP – it’s just so bright and cheery! The Stitched So Sweetly Dies and So Sentimental stamp set, were used to make this sweet greeting on the front of this card.
For the interior of the card, I decided to keep it simple. I used the Crushed Curry and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers to ink up the pineapple and stamped it in the lower right corner of a Whisper White layer. To see all the details on how this card is made, please watch the video below.

Good morning, Stampers, Rise & Shine – it’s time for coffee and a card. I recieved a birthday card with this super cute fold. This is one I haven’t seen before and had to give it a try.
For this card, I paired the Bird Ballad DSP from the 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog with the Rise & Shine stamp set. The Rise & Shine stamp set is a level 2 reward from Sale-A-Bration 2020. It’s also a reversible stamp set, meaning you can use BOTH sides of the photopolymer stamp.
This fold has a cute little tuck in corner where the circles for the sentiment hold the card closed. I also used the masking technique when stamping the “steam”, otherwise it would have been too tall.
Inside the card I used two sentiments. I love the way they are separated. You can use one on the outside and one on the inside and / or you have the option of saying “tea” instead of “coffee”. I just love everything about this card! If you would like to make one of your own, you can follow along in the video tutorial below.

Hi Stampers. Today I am sharing my Dressed to Impress, card number two from the video I shared with you on Wednesday. This card, too, was made using the Dressed To Impress bundle and the Best Dressed DSP.
I started with a Whisper White card base, added a layer of Purple Posey CS and then a layer of Best Dressed DSP.
Using the Dressed to Impress stamp set, I stamped a pair of shoes, die cut and then colored them with the Purple Posey Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment was stamped onto a strip of Whisper White CS backed by a strip of Purple Posey CS. Multipurpose Glue was then used to add the shoes onto the card front.
Inside the card, I fashioned a shoe box (again, an idea sparked by Lorri Heiling presentation) using Crumb Cake CS and mounted the shoes above it. The box collapses when the card is shut and pops open again when the card is opened. So fun!
If you want further instructions and/or measurements – please watch this video.

Hi Stampers. Have you played with the Dressed To Impress bundle yet? It is ADORABLE!! My friend, Lorri Heiling did a FANTASTIC presentation on it at our OnStage event! She has since made a wonderful PDF of all her adorable projects. You an purchase her tutorial HERE. Before seeing her tutorial – I tried to replicate a few of her ideas. While my card is much different, using lipstick for the L in hello was one of those ideas.
I just love the Dressed to Impress bundle and the coordinating Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. For this card I added the DSP and then used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to make the layers.
I used the Hand-lettered Prose Dies to spell out the word “hello”, replacing one of the Ls with a stamped and die cut lipstick from the Dressed To Impress stamp set. The lipstick was colored with the Stampin’ Blends and Wink of Stella added to the purple to give the lipstick some shimmer.
Since the Best Dressed DSP comes in 6″ x 6″ pieces, when I cut the front at 4″ x 5-1/4″ – I had a 2″ strip and a 3/4″ strip. I used the 3/4″ strip on the inside of the card as an accent to the inside layer.
To make this version of the card – both the Ls in hello are lipsticks. One of the pieces of DSP in the Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I used my Brother Scan n Cut to cut all the lipsticks out of the DSP.

Stamping Cures Boredom & Spreads Smiles:
Are you looking for something to do while in quarantine? Stamping can be the perfect solution! Stamping cards cures boredom, give you a creative outlet and produces something you can send to another quarantined person to brighten their day. If you are already a stamper, you no doubt have some supplies (and more can be purchased in my online store and delivered to your door).
If you are not a stamper, or with to send a gift to someone who isn’t a stamper – I have a solution! Kits! Stampin’ Up! has multiple kits that come with (almost) all you need to complete a set of cards. Some of them even come with an adorable box to store your supplies or finished cards in.

Hi Stampers. Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. This month we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Pals Blog Hop with “Critters” from the Stampin’ Pretty Pals. Many of the design team members are offering “Mystery Blog Candy” of their choice to 1 lucky winner. To play along, just leave a comment on as many blog posts as desired. A random winner will be announced on a subsequent blog post by each participating design team member. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I just can’t seen to pass up an opportunity to try a new fun fold card! This fold worked great with the Back On Your Feet stamp set.
It starts with a basic card base and then scored in half in the middle of front panel. Next you go up 2″ from the bottom and cut across to the score line in the middle of the card base.
I cut a regular inside layer (4″ x 5-1/4″) and went up 1-3/4″ and cut across to the upper corner on the other side. Next, I measured over 1-7/8″ from each side and cut, this took the extra 1/4″ out of the middle.
Taking the 1/4″ out of the middle kept the angle correct to use these on my card base.
Next, I stamped the images using the Back on Your Feet stamp set and colored using my Stampin’ Blends.
A small piece of Dino Raur DSP was used on the front of the card.
These animals, in this Back on Your Feet stamp set, are just the cutest and our Stampin’ Blends are da BOMB!
If you are looking for full directions and measurements – they can be found in the video tutorial below.

Hi Stampers. Happy Monday! I’m back with another Honey Bee card! Do you love Monday’s? I do! I have the BEST JOB EVER and I get a fresh start and a burst of energy each and every Monday. I’m always looking for people who want to do a job they love and join my Creative Royalty team. Our team has hobby and business demos on it – all a welcome – no strings attached!
Today’s card is similar to last Friday’s card in that I used the Honey Bee bundle. Instead of a shaker card, this is a regular card using lots of layers. The sentiment is heat embossed in Gold and a few enamel dots were added to make it “pop” and draw your eye to it.
I wanted a richer look for this card, so I used a Basic Black card base, followed by layers of Goil Foil Paper and the Golden Honey Specialty DSP. I love this DSP and it was FREE! Apparently, alot of other people loved it too, because we have run out, twice. Sale-A-Bration items are always “while supplies last” so if you see something you love – it’s best to get yours early! The hive is popped up on dimensionals and swarming with honey bees.
Stampin’ Tip: To save you money on your stampin’ supplies, I suggest die cutting shapes out of the center of the Gold Foil Paper. In this example, you could cut the larger gold layer, then die cut the next gold layer out of the middle of the first one. You could then die cut the honeycomb die cuts out of the middle of the that smaller layer. Once you cover it up with the DSP layer, you won’t see any voids in the foil paper. While it looks like alot of foil paper was used but, there is only one 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece and it’s all cut from that. It also helps keep the weight low, so it could save you on postage, too.
Inside the card, in addition to stamping the sentiment and the honey bee, I have added a strip of DSP and a few of the hexagons that fell out of the honeycomb die cut used on the front of the card.
