I enjoy trying new fancy fold cards, and here is one that I hadn’t made before. It’s a Standing Z-Fold card. Jeanie Stark introduced me to this fold through her recent “Mystery Stamping” challenge. Of course, it was a mystery as to what it would look like until after it…
Today is Jeanie’s birthday! Jeanie is my long distance friend ~ we live on opposite sides of the country. We met through Stampin’ Up! at a convention several years ago, have had endless telephone chats, and have seen each other a couple of times since then. When I traveled to…
Hello, March! Did you know that March is National Craft Month?! No? Neither did I until this morning when I read it on Stamp-n-Storage‘s website. It’s also my birthday month! How appropriate 😁 ! I’m going to start the month with a birthday fun fold card: This Floral Delight DSP…
I have a fancy fold to share with you today! It stands up on your desk or shelf when opened, and lays flat to fit into a Medium envelope. I took this idea from Susan Campfield, suestampfield.com, and she named it the Side Tower Pop Up Card. It’s so fun!…
This week at Create with Stamping Friends we have a sketch challenge that happens to be a Gate Fold card! How fun! I pulled out my Regal Winter DSP again (I told you I can’t get enough of this pretty paper!) and made a Regal Winter Gate Fold Card. First,…
This week I’ve been playing with the Designer Series Pack called Frames & Flowers. My first card HERE was a Get Well Card, my second HERE was a square “For You” Card. Today I’m showing you a Frames & Flowers Easel Card that has a birthday message. Take a look…
This will be my final post using Excellent Eggs this week and I decided to create a Fun Fold! This is known as a Vertical Joy Fold Card. Most of the Joy Folds I’ve made in the past open horizontally, but this opens up and down. It’s a Friday Fun…
We’re back with a color challenge on this Thanksgiving Thursday. I want to first wish each of you a very happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are spending the day with people whom you love and are very thankful for! In keeping with the theme for the day, I made a…
I love a new fun fold! And Susan Campfield has come up with another great one that I couldn’t wait to try. She is calling it the Cascading Pleated Fun Fold, and you’ll see why. Go to her website and watch her You Tube Video to see how it’s made.…
I have a fun fold for Merry Monday this week! It is a fold I learned by watching Julie DiMatteo on her Paper Pixie You Tube. I believe she called it an Accordion Fold, aptly named because you “play” the accordion as you open and close it! I used the…
Today I went back to one of my favorite Rachel Tessman fun folds and made a One Horse Open Sleigh Scenery Z-Fold card. Now that’s a mouthful, I admit, but One Horse Open Sleigh is the name of a new Online Exclusive DSP at Stampin’ Up! This scenery Z-fold is…
Always up for a challenge, I decided to give this Triangle Tri-Fold a go. I watched a video on SplitCoastStampers if you want to take a few minutes to watch it. A couple simple changes I made ~ I left off the extra DSP, used Vellum for the triangles, and…
I am quite enamored with these angled gatefold cards! I made a “test” with some older Christmas paper (see below) and had some leftover paper, so I decided to make this sweet Butterfly Kisses angled gatefold. If you are interested in trying one, I’m going to refer you to You…
How about an Autumn Fun Fold? Or any season, really! I got this fold idea from Linda Heller and thought I’d try it with the Rings of Love DSP. This fun DSP is a free gift with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration, July & August. Love it! It’s a Double…
Hi there, I’m back with another Saturday Stamping post, a day when I unapologetically mix new and old products! OK, you got me, I sometimes do that on other days, too. But I love my old sets and want to use them! I’m guessing you do as well. Am I…
