Here are two more variations of the Double Pocket cards I shared on Thursday during my Online Paper Crafting Class. These are both made with the largest of the Pocket Thoughts Dies, the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set, and the Reindeer Days Designer Paper. To see four other versions of the Double Pocket card (the ones I shared on October 17th featuring the Season of Elegance Designer Paper and the coordinating Peaceful Season Stamps & Dies), click here.
It’s in that post that you’ll find the directions and tips for assembling. And below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list** for today’s versions of these cards. You’ll see that the measurements are for preparing supplies to make BOTH of these cards. That is because I cut the large pocket from two different colors of cardstock (Pool Party and Real Red), cut them into two, and then swapped them. So that each card uses “half” of each color.
**Products that I’m listing in this post are shown below and are currently linked to my online store.

Basic White Cardstock
(2) 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
(2) 3-1/8” x 4-5/8”

(I’m so sorry about the technical glitches in my two attempts to go live yesterday. But yay!…it worked today!)
I was supposed to attend a special event on September 28th hosted by my upline, Susan Campfield. But plans changed for me, I ended up not being able to attend, and so Susan brought the make-n-take materials and gifts over to me the next day.
As part of the gifts, I received the Pocket Thoughts Dies and a pack of the Season of Elegance Designer Paper. The make-n-take projects were all designed with these items as well. So after assembling the projects, I thought it would be fun to create even more with these items. I was inspired! And I came up with a double pocket card. In fact I made four versions of the card with this paper and the coordinating Peaceful Season Stamps and Dies.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these cards. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
You’ll also be able to see the make-n-take projects from this events!

Today’s card is featuring the Citrus Blooms leafy frame die, but in a different configuration. It’s also a card with a vellum base layer…SOOOo fun!
I put together my card base first so it was ready. I cut my vellum to 4-1/4″ by 6-1/2″. Then I scored 1″ down, creased this section, then attached it over the top back of the Smoky Slate 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ base layer. Next I adhered a 2″ white circle to the Smoky Slate layer marking the middle and creating a small inside section where the card can be signed.
After die-cutting the frame, I placed it on my Media Grip Mat on my Glass Mat. The die-cut frame held in place really well! So at this point I was able to using my Blending Brushes and add my green inks. The frame stayed in place the entire time. And I was able to just rinse the ink off the Media Grip Mat when I was done.
Next I cut half-way through each side of this frame piece and brought all the corners together in the middle to make more of a cross shape. I adhered each of these “corners” to my vellum card front using sponged on Multipurpose Glue making sure the glue was evenly added across each section of each layer AND making sure everything was level and coming together in the middle of the white circle underneath.
I trimmed off an excess on the sides and then prepared the remaining pieces. I heat embossed two white sentiments onto punched out black circles. And I cut out a bunch of single vellum leaves and tiny purple flowers.
After adhering a few vellum leaves where they would look best, I added my front black sentiment circle with Dimensionals making sure it aligned and covered the white circle showing through from the inside. Then I added my inside black sentiment circle with Seal making sure it aligned and covered the black circle showing through from the front.
Then I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots and connected several purple flowers and a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
As you can see it’s a card with not a lot of space to write, but it definitely is a artsy and eye-catching.
A card made with a vellum base is always intriguing and unique, but can be tricky to assemble. When designing, you have to keep in mind that anything you put on the front may be seen from the inside. AND anything you put on the inside may be seen from the front. So you have to keep the front, the underside of the front, and the inside ALL in mind the whole time.
I hope you were able to gain some creative inspiration from what I shared today. Have a great week!

Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the Unbounded Beauty Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle this month.
I’ve created this “die art” empathy card using every product in this suite collection. If you know what punch art is, then you know why I’m calling it die art. Both are basically the art of using shapes to make new unintended images.
For reference this post from 4/9/23 shows ways to create a bunny and a bee using the now retired Ladybug Punch. And an FYI…I did die-art for my video class project, too! So you’ll want to get your hands on that bundle.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating this card with the suite products and other Stampin’ Up! products shown below in my products list. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.
Measurements…
Basic White Thick Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2”
Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper
(2) 3/4” x 4-1/4”
Scrap for punching heart
Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper (background)
(2) 1” x 4”
Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper (peach)
Here are more photos of the unique card. Dimensionals are such a great adhesive. That small amount of lift gives just the right amount of shadow.
Here is the inside which is pretty plain. But I still thought I should share. Feel free to fancy it up a bit.
Did you get your hands on this month’s bundle of video classes featuring products in the Unbounded Beauty Suite? Each month’s Video Class Bundle includes photos, imperial and metric measurements, complete product lists, and links to instructional videos for twelve projects designed by our team of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world. And they are exclusive to those who earn them or purchase them.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared!

With fewer Halloween themed products right now (although September 4th will bring more…stay tuned!), I thought it would be a good time to get creative and make Monster Cards for you. I love creating monster cards and projects and have done so many times in the past with other products.
My desire to come up with a monster card, inspiration from a fun fold card shared by Terri Gaines at the August Creative Connections event, and the “teeth-looking” Frozen Edges Dies debuting 9/4/24 got my mind spinning. And I came up with more than just one “talking” monster card! They are addicting! So if you are not into making Halloween cards? I’ll also show you how to adapt these to make monster cards for birthdays and beyond.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these clever creatures with some current and soon-to-be new Stampin’ Up!® product: Throughout the Year Stamp Set, Round We Go Stamp Set & Dies, Frozen Edges Dies, Thoughtful Journey & Splendid Autumn Paper Packs, and more.

These bright and festive projects (two cards, a box, and a scrapbook page) that I made with the Round We Go Bundle are great examples of a triadic color combination and show off two more hidden card templates.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these projects AND shared the several highlights and hidden gems that we mentioned in our on stage presentation. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
