Last weekend at a demonstrator event put on by my upline Susan Campfield, my sister demonstrator Carol Rosengren shared a beautiful fun-fold card she made using the Magnolia Lane designer paper and the Good Morning Magnolia bundle.
As I watched her demonstrate, I realized that I may have never shared any shutter fold cards here on my blog before! Which surprised me since fun-folds are right up my alley. So I immediately started creating when I got home that day, and I came up with four other versions of her card.
One of them I shared from start to finish in my Wednesday, August 28th Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook. 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), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products list at the bottom of my post, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed the cards I shared in this video. Below are the updated measurements. And further down are close-up photos of all the cards I shared.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

School starts the day after Labor Day for our district. So we did our school shopping last week (I took Luke to the stores on the 9th and Nick on the 13th), and now we can focus on enjoying our last days of August. I haven’t blogged in a few days, because I’m up at Caribou Lake (my parents’ place in northern Minnesota) with my boys vacationing. And we are having a great time!
The last half of summer is THE BEST time to be here. The bugs aren’t as intense, the deep lake water is tolerable, and the weather is typically warm and sunny. It’s been heavenly.
My friend, Alissa and her kids, Violet and Nolan were up here with us Wednesday through Friday.
And when we were up here at the end of July (before Luke’s surgery), the boys brought up a couple friends, Carter and Jamison. We love sharing this great place with our friends. And my mom and dad are so good at making everyone feel so welcome.
Now that Luke is pretty much recovered from his surgery, he’s back to jumping off the dock, paddle boarding, and just being his normal, goofy, 12-year-old self. He makes me giggle.
Grandpa taught Nick (my soon-to-be 14-year-old) how to bring in and “dock” the boat. So Nick is now going out fishing all by himself. He is having a blast trying tricks while he is doing his favorite water sports…tubing and knee boarding. And yesterday he got up on water skis for the first time.
My goodness! When I look back at photos of these kids in 2013 when I first started blogging, I’m blown away with how much they have changed. They are becoming young men way too fast. LOL
I have two cards to share today that I made with the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut Paper, my latest favorite product. (BTW…Have you seen the creative ideas shared recently with this paper by the Stampin’ Up! Artisan team!? Just stunning projects! Click here to follow that blog hop.)

I’m having fun with the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper. Today I’m sharing the birthday cards I made for my Stampers With ART team members that have July birthdays.
Measurements…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
7” x 5” scored at 3-1/2″ and folded in half (OR…just use a pre-cut and scored Whisper White Note Card)
Scraps for stamping and punching the Classic Label sentiment pieces
Bermuda Bay Cardstock
2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
Coastal Cabana Cardstock
2-3/8″ x 3-3/8″
Scrap for punching out the Starburst Circle
Cajun Craze Cardstock
Scrap for punching out the Starburst Circle
Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper
Scrap for punching out the 2″ Circle
Noble Peacock Foil
Scrap for die-cutting the “Happy”
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions…
Stamp “Wishes” onto Coastal Cabana scrap with Bermuda Bay ink.
Stamp the Cajun Craze sentiments on the scrap white cardstock and punch with Classic Label Punch. “Sending You” should be left justified. “Birthday” should be right justified.
Attach the punched out “Birthday” next to “wishes”.
Punch out the Coastal Cabana Starburst Circle to include both the “Birthday” & “wishes”.
Punch out the 2″ designer paper piece and the Cajun Craze Starburst Circle.
Die-cut the word “Happy.”
Attach “sending you” to the top right of the 2-3/8″ x 3-3/8″ Coastal Cabana cardstock. Trim off excess.
Attach Cajun Craze starburst shape to the bottom left. Trim off excess.
Attach Noble Peacock circle to the Cajun Craze starburst. Trim off excess.
Add rhinestone or sequin to the center.
Add “Happy” die-cut by sponging on the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back side. If you have the Silicone Craft Sheet underneath, it protects your work surface. AND you can later remove the dried glue with packing tape! 😊
Add this Coastal Cabana layer to the Bermuda Bay layer, then add this to the front of your card using Dimensionals.
You’ll notice that one has a sequin in the center of the circle. And the other has a rhinestone. I intended on having rhinestones on all of my team cards, but I ran out when making the tri-panel cards I shared yesterday. Hahaha! Obviously this is one of my favorite new products. I ended up ordering more after making these cards.
My sister and I and having a fabulous time in Europe! I’m trying to compile a few pictures to share with you soon.

One of THE most gorgeous suites in this year’s annual catalog is the Noble Peacock Suite. You’ll find it on pages 24-26 of the 2019-20 Annual Catalog or by clicking HERE to see it in the Online Store. Below is a quick video put out by Stampin’ Up!® featuring the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper which is what I used on my tri-panel card that I’m sharing with you today.
I actually made a couple versions of this card. One of them includes sentiments from the coordinating stamp set, Royal Peacock. And the other has sentiments from the Well Said Stamp Set because I wanted to turn it into a birthday card.
This tri-panel card shows off the beautiful foiled designer paper and is such a visually appealing layout.
It’s easy to apply this design in other cards that you make. You can vary the size of the panels, too. Click here and here to see a couple other tri-panel cards I’ve shared in recent posts. The above card was stamped with a sentiment from the Royal Peacock set in Gorgeous Grape ink. The one below was stamped with a sentiment from the Well Said set in Melon Mambo ink.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements per card…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4-1/4″ and folded in half for the card base
Old Olive Cardstock
1-3/8″ x 2-1/8″
Pretty Peacock Cardstock
1-3/8″ x 2-1/8″
Blueberry Bushel Cardstock
1-3/8″ x 2-1/8″
Noble Peacock Designer Paper
1-1/4″ x 2″ of each of the three patterns
Directions/Tips…
I made several of these cards – one for each of the members of my Online Paper Crafters Clubs and ten more for some achieving demonstrators in my Stampers With ART group. My assistant, Vicki Spicer helped me to work on these cards. So I gave her this template which we both thought worked quite well. The template (that I cut from scrap cardstock) measures 4″ x 5-1/4″ with an opening that measures 2-1/8″ x 4-1/2″ cut from the center about 3/4″ from the top and 3/8″ in from each side.
Vicki placed it on the front of the card, attached the two side panels. And then centered and added the middle one. (She actually found it easier to remove the template before attaching the middle one.)
I ran out of the multicolored Noble Peacock Rhinestones before finishing. So I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends markers and colored some of my Basics Rhinestones.
By the way the designer paper is attached to the coordinating cardstock with Dimensionals to create depth and shadow.
I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today.

#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the June 2019 A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants.
Here is a photo of the intended project from this month’s “Random Act of Kindness-themed” kit – 16 sweet little cards (4 each of 4 beach-themed designs) to carry around (in the included pouch) so you can have them on hand to give anytime you want to spread a little sunshine.
I’ve already shared a few other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on June 21st: 3 full-size cards, a mini monster card, a sweet 3×3 card, a treat pouch/purse, and a 12×12 scrapbook page. CLICK HERE to check them out for more ideas.
Today I have some fun beach-themed party favors to share with you.
If you use your kit to make these great party favors, you can get 16 tall triangle Hershey’s Kiss holders and 16 simple envelope treat holders from one kit. (Embellishments will vary as there are a limited amount of trees.)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
TALL TRIANGLE HERSHEY’S KISS HOLDERS
These were featured on Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Pumpkin newsletter (in case they look familiar to you). But these directions are a little more detailed as I was able to add more step-by-step photos here in my blog post.
Directions…
Score an unfolded kit card base at 1/2″, 1-1/2″ and 2-1/2″ parallel to the long edge.
Rotate and score 1″ up from the bottom. Then trim off a bit along the bottom (1/16″-1/8″).
Mark the middle of each bottom section along the bottom edge at 1″, 2″ and 3″.
Trim from those marks as shown to form 3 triangles along the bottom. These will overlap to form the base of the box.
Add Tear & Tape Adhesive close to the score mark on the 1/2″ wide section. If you wish to stamp on the box, do so now.
Then fold up the box to make a triangular prism. It may help to have the Hershey’s Kisses inside the box when assembling.
Fold one flap in on the bottom. Then fold the other flaps in securing them each with Glue Dots.
Decorate the front how you wish.
And as long as your measurements are straight, your box should stand on its own. 😃
SIMPLE ENVELOPE TREAT HOLDER
Directions…
Decorate the envelope how you wish.
Then fill the envelope with Ghirardelli chocolates or other flat, small treat.
That’s it! Super simple.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!
