Magnolia Lane Arrow Fold Card
I’ve been playing with upcoming new products again. And I learned a new fun fold – the arrow fold card! It’s a classy looking card that’s easy to put together with just a few angle folds and cuts. This fold was introduced to me by fellow demonstrator, Verla Carpenter who shared this how-to video by Samantha Clayton at Mixed Up Crafts. I altered Samantha’s measurements to work with a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card base size so the card would fit into one of Stampin’ Up!’s medium envelopes.
Because some projects and cards are easier to explain with a video, I shared this card this past Wednesday during my Facebook Live Online Paper Crafting class. I then uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the products list below, scroll through the close-up photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
As I mentioned in the video, the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set, the Magnolia Memory Dies, and the Magnolia Lane Designer Paper are only available to current demonstrators or those getting the Starter Kit right now. (Click here if you want to purchase them in a Starter Kit.) Then on June 4, 2019, they will debut in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog. Yay!

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS
Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
Getting Catalogs Out the Door & OnStage Gift
They arrived Monday evening!!!
Tuesday with the help of my mom and husband, we got 100 of these new 2019-20 Annual Catalogs out the door for USPS to pick up yesterday. And then my mom helped me to get another 91 out the door for USPS to pick up today. PHEW! Normally I have Stampin’ Up! send them directly to my customers. But this time I wanted to do it myself so I could get them to my stampers right away, enclose a small gift, and ensure delivery. (Do you love how my husband’s shoes stick out on the lower left of the second photo? It the right angle, it looked like he got buried! hahaha)
If you live local to me, near Andover, Minnesota, let me know if you want me to set aside a catalog for you to pick up. (A big thank you to many of my local customers who are picking up their catalogs from my house in the coming days.) If you live further away, I’d be happy to mail you a free catalog. I just ask that you cover the shipping costs if you are not currently one of my customers. Click here, then scroll down to learn more.
I never shared with you the gifts I gave to my team members who attended Stampin’ Up!’s April 2019 OnStage event!
Once again I went to Tamara Davis from TaDa! Moments to see what wonderful new products she had. And I fell in love with her Take Your Pick Tool holders. Personally I struggled with keeping my tool parts in a place where I could always find them, so this was perfect! She finished my personalized gifts quickly and sent them to me so I had plenty of time to add belly bands and gift tags to each one.
I love how they came in and were made for Stampin’ Up!’s Acetate Card Boxes, too.
For the belly band of this one I layered these pieces together: a strip of 1″ x 12″ How Sweet It Is Designer Paper, a strip of 1-1/4″ x 12″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock, and a strip of 1-1/2″ x 12″ Coastal Cabana. (Some of my gifts also used Melon Mambo Cardstock.) Then as I wrapped this layered strip around the layers gave way a bit and shifted, so I ended up with a definite seam.
I then tied a 3″ piece of Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon in a knot around a pin from the Sweet Pins & Tags kit and attached it to the seam with a Glue Dot with the pin opening forward so I could add the tag.
I stamped, punched & die-cut, and layered my tag pieces.
I even printed out a note that I folded up and sandwiched inside.
And how fun they were to give out!
Just recently I decided to recycle the box and switch out the tag to create a NEW gift. I filled the box with chocolates. Yum!
Then I realized I wanted to decorate the box a bit more. So I took the chocolates out, lined the box with a 10-1/4″ x 5-3/4″ piece of designer paper (scored at 1/2″, 4-15/16″, 5-7/16″ and 9-7/8″), and put the chocolates back in.
I slipped the belly band back on and pinned on a new simple tag.
For those of you keeping my father-in-law in your prayers, there is no further news yet. But our family will still appreciate any prayers you can send his way.

Happy Belated Mother’s Day!
Happy belated Mother’s Day! I meant to share this card with you yesterday. But oops! I forgot to post it.
I LOVED making this card with the upcoming new Perennial Essence Suite of products that will debut in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog June 4, 2019. I didn’t send it to my mom for Mother’s Day (sent this one instead). But after making it, I realized this it would have been perfect.
I actually made TWO versions of this card. The other one is below. I’ll share the details for both.
Measurements…
- Whisper White Cardstock
- 8-1/2” x 4-1/4” scored at 5-1/2” and folded for card base
- 4″ x 2-7/8″
- Mossy Meadow Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 1/2”
- Perennial Essence Vellum Cardstock
- Pink scraps for stamping, embossing and punching three flowers
- Green scraps for stamping, embossing and punching two sets of leaves
- Perennial Essence Designer Paper
- 2-3/8″ x 4″
- Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon
- 14″
Directions…
- Stamp the flowers and leaves with VersaMark Ink, emboss with Clear Embossing Powder, and punch out with coordinating punches.
- Using SNAIL and Glue Dots, assemble three pink flower layers, one set of leaves, and the Perennial Essence Floral Center to create the main flower.
- Tie ribbon from the front of the card to the inside. Tie in knot and trim the ends.
- Slide ribbon so it’s about 1/4″ from the bottom edge of the front flap. Then add Glue Dots to the bottom front edge of the ribbon to connect it with this 1/4″ Whisper White bottom edge section of the front flap. Add SNAIL to the Mossy Meadow strip, then attach this to this area where the Glue Dots are.
- Use the assembled flower as a guide (don’t adhere quite yet), then stamp the sentiment to the front of the card. Stamp the other sentiment on the 4″ x 2-7/8″ Whisper White piece.
- Adhere the second set of leaves with a Glue Dot so it’s coming out the bottom left portion of this Whisper White layer.
- Finish the card by adhering the designer paper layer to the inside bottom of the card, the 4″ x 2-7/8″ Whisper White stamped layer to the inside top of the card, the assembled flower to the front of the card, and three Rhinestones as shown.
Product List
