Back on January 23rd, I was one of the video presenters at an event called Demos Galore which was held virtually like it had been the time before in September. For my video presentation I created and shared several cards and projects featuring the In Bloom Bundle and the coordinating Sale-a-Bration designer paper. I’ve shared two of those projects in recent blog posts. But today I thought I’d share show another one of the fun folds and then show ALL the projects that were in that presentation.
So I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating a Kite Fold Card using the Paper Blooms Designer Paper (available through February 28, 2021) and the coordinating In Bloom Bundle (the In Bloom Stamp Set and the Pierced Blooms Dies). 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.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for the kite card I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).

I’m a huge fan of project kits as many of you know. So I pulled out the You Are Amazing card kit, added some extra cardstock and envelopes, got creative, and doubled the amount of cards intended. Instead of making just 16 cards, I was able to get 32 this way!
This kit coordinates with the You Are Amazing stamp set. And my original plan was to use those sentiment images when making these 32 cards. But then I remembered that during Sale-a-Bration (a great promotional period happening now), a person can earn a free product with a minimum purchase of $50 US. Because I added the white cardstock & envelopes, I wanted to save some money elsewhere and use one of those Sale-a-Bration free stamp sets instead.
And now I’m excited to share with you what I came up with!
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for doubling the cards from this kit by adding Basic White Cardstock & Envelopes, some Gold Faceted Gems, the free Approaching Perfection Stamp Set, and a couple extra tools. 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.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).

One of the best parts of being a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator is building connections with others who also have the same passion for paper crafting, scrapbooking and card making. When I purchased the Starter Kit and joined as demonstrator on February 8, 2000 (21 years ago!), I never imagined all the friendships that would develop from holding classes, clubs, parties, team meetings, conventions, trips and more. And OH!…the sharing that we all do! Paper crafters are such giving people.
So today I am excited to share yet another fun fold idea with all of you – an idea that got passed along to me by my dear friend and upline, Susan Campfield during a recent online team event. Upon first glance you may say that it’s similar to the Tucked Insert Fun Fold Card that I shared back in June 2020. (Click here to see that style card.) The look when closed IS similar, but it’s put together in a different way.
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this Flap Fold Card AND I shared how to “color in” using the Paper Piecing Technique with the Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick stamp sets and coordinating Chick and Birthday Chick die sets. 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.

I love the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper…such fun colors and images!

Here is a festive fun fold birthday card that has a different take on the traditional z-fold. I used the In Bloom Stamp Set, Pierced Blooms Dies, and coordinating Paper Blooms Designer Paper (which is one of the free Sale-a-Bration picks with a $50 purchase).
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Night of Navy Cardstock
4-1/4” x 9-3/4” scored parallel to short side at 3-1/4″ and 6-1/2”
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
Basic White Cardstock
Two pieces that are 3″ x 4″
Scrap for die-cutting sentiment piece
Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting flower
Paper Blooms Designer Paper
4″ x 5-1/4″
2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon
11″
Directions
Fold the Night of Navy layer at the scores to form a z-fold layer.
Attach the smaller designer paper layer to one of the white layers. Wrap and tie on the ribbon. Then add this to the front of the navy z-fold layer.
Attach the larger designer paper layer to the large navy layer. Center and adhere the z-fold layer.
Ink up only the “Happy Birthday” portion of the sentiment image with Night of Navy ink, and stamp it on the remaining white layer as shown.
Stamp a couple small flower images in Soft Sea Foam ink near the sentiment. Ink up the dots image with Night of Navy ink. But before stamping it in the center of a flower, stamp it onto scrap paper to lighten the ink intensity a bit. Do the same for the other flower.
Die-cut a larger flower, stamp the center with Night of Navy ink, then adhere to the middle section of the z-fold layer.
Add some Rhinestones to embellish.
Then send off to a friend to brighten their birthday.
Want more ideas with the In Bloom Bundle? I created more for a recent event, and I plan to share them with you all soon. In the meantime, check out what I’ve been pinning on Pinterest. And thanks for visiting!

But I also explain the steps of these two cards shown in the photos below. (If you are already on my blog post, you can just click on the image below to view the video.)
