Today I’m sharing the second card I assembled after receiving my Million Dollar Achiever stamp set, Layering Leaves.
I was inspired by this pretty card I received from my friend and fellow demonstrator, Amy Rudd. (She used the now-retired Splendid Day Suite to make her card.)
As you can see Layering Leaves is an all-occasion stamp set that coordinates with the Bough Punch.
This set is not available for purchase yet (not even for demo preorder). Stampin’ Up!® sent me my complimentary copy in March. But it will be available when the new 2023-24 Annual Catalog debuts May 2nd.
The first card I shared (and some details about how this set came to be) can be found in my April 3rd blog post. And I have more cards and projects that I’m creating! In fact six of them are for a class that I’ll be offering. And I’ll post information about that class tomorrow with peeks at those cards/projects. The class registration will begin at that time and include different sign up options! 😃
This card I’m sharing today also highlights the stamp/punch coordination. (So you’ll want to have both!) Here is the card closed.
And this is the card open.
(Amy’s is a z-fold card, too. But the inside just includes a note to me. So I didn’t photograph that.)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4”
Two die-cut circles: ~1-3/4″ diameter and ~2-1/2″ diameter
Scraps for stamping and punching 3 sets of Parakeet Party leaves
Enjoy the Journey Designer Paper
5-1/4″ x 8″ – cut in half for two side-by-side 5-1/4″ x 4″ pieces
Coastal Cabana Cardstock
One die-cut circle: ~3″ diameter
Scraps for stamping and punching 2 tiny sprigs
Scraps for stamping and cutting 2 large leaves
2022-24 In Color Glimmer Paper
Four tiny sprigs
Vellum Cardstock
Two punched sets of leaves
2022-24 In Color Baker’s Twine
12″
White Glittered Organdy Ribbon
7″
Pool Party Sheer Ribbon
7″
Directions
Stamp & Punch all leaves and sprigs. Stamp and die-cut all circles. Prep all the rest of the pieces above. And stamp the ‘best wishes’ sentiment on the second designer paper layer.
For the circle layer…
Add the middle white circle to the blue so it’s off-center. Layer on the leaves and springs gluing sparingly and using the smallest white sentiment circle as a guide as you go. It may even help to just use regular tape to hold things in place.
For the top half I started with the Vellum leaves, then added the large blue leaf, then the stamped green leaves, then the glimmer paper sprigs, then the blue sprig.
For the bottom half I started with the green stamped leaves. Then I tucked in the blue leaves and the glimmer paper leaves.
Fold add the ribbons. Again…adding regular tape may help.
Add the small white sentiment circle with the help of Dimensionals.
Tie a bow in the twine. And add that with a Glue Dot.
Assemble in this order: the circle and leaves layers first, then add that to the first designer paper layer, then add the designer paper layers to the folded card base. The designer paper is thinner than the cardstock. So adding the assembled circles/leaves layer first will stiffen the top layer up a bit and make the over all experience much easier.
I absolutely LOVE the basic sentiments in this set! They make your cards that much more versatile. This card can now be given for any celebration or milestone…graduation, birthday, retirement, wedding, engagement, moving, etc.
Thanks for visiting!
Be sure to stop back tomorrow to get the details on my class that will include the option to add in an autographed copy of my Layering Leaves stamp set.

I received my April 2023 All the Little Things Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kit on Monday late afternoon. So I decided to share my first set of alternate project ideas in this week’s Live recording like I did last month (and the month before).
This is what comes in the kit. If you were to make the cards based on the directions, you would get 9 cards total (3 of 3 designs).
But I changed up the supplies to get double the amount of cards! Yay! AND each card is a bit special…stepped up a bit. In my videos below (Parts 1 and 2) I share all 6 of these cards – four in the first video and 2 in the second. Even if you didn’t get this kit, I hope the ideas I share can be applied to other products you own and inspire your creativity!

Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my cards. Then be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing on May 5th.
Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)

I love the Sweet Citrus Bundle! Every card I see out there is so eye-catching! So I thought I’d share this bundle with you today along with a fun background layer that my friend Vy Tran calls a “faux quilt.” She shared this fun pieced together background during one of our latest demonstrator events. It works great with scenery-like designer paper and with multiple fabric-like designer paper sections as the “star of the show” on a card. But it’s also fun when this background is more subtle just to give a layer a little more pizzazz.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card with the Sweet Citrus stamp set, dies, and embossing folder, daubers, the Bough Punch, and other coordinating products from Stampin’ Up!®. 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.
Wasn’t that fun to see how the hybrid dies/embossing folder work together?!

I made a bridge fold card to share with you today. And what’s fun about this one is I created the look of a an actual bridge with the new Elegant Borders Dies and added on it the walking rhino image from the new Rhino Ready Bundle (Stamp Set & coordinating Dies). So it’s my Rhino-on-a-bridge Bridge Fold card! (I’m giggling.)
The images in this set are so adorable. I’m in love with this birthday card, and know it will delight whoever receives it. Below is what it looks like on the back.
I’ve shared how to make bridge fold cards in the past. But if this is a new fold to you, I invite you to watch my tutorial from my 2/24/17 blog post to get a feel for how this kind of card can come together. Another one of my favorites was from my 2/21/18 blog post when I turned the supplies from the Picnic Paradise Paper Pumpkin kit into a picnic table (upside down, this card looks like a table).
Here is a view from the top of my Rhino-on-a-bridge Bridge Fold card! (I’m giggling again…catchy, right?)
A bridge fold card can flatten in either direction to fit into an envelope for mailing.
Here are the tips and details for this card in case you want to recreate it.
Products I used… See below for a list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Garden Green Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 8″ scored in at each end at 1″ and 2″
1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ for die-cutting the canopy of foliage at the top of the card
Scraps for die-cutting leaves
Basic Gray Cardstock
1-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ for die-cutting the canopy of foliage at the top of the card
Enjoy the Journey Designer Paper
3-3/8” x 4-1/8”
Basic White Cardstock
3-3/8” x 4-1/8”
Scraps for stamping and die-cutting rhino/bird image and little bird
Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment oval
Daffodil Delight Cardstock
Scrap for punching sentiment layer
Tips…
Color (with the Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pen) the stamped rhino and bird images. Then die-cut. I find it’s much easier to do it in this order so you have more cardstock to hold onto while coloring. There are two images to die-cut and two to just stamp on the back white layer.
To create the orange layer between the white sentiment oval piece and the yellow scallop oval piece, color a thick line of the Pumpkin Pie Watercolor Pencil as shown below. Then swirl the tip of the Blender Pen to draw the color up nearer to the edge for the new scallop layer.
Multipurpose Liquid glue on the detailed areas of the bridge help connect the rhinoceros/bird image. You’ll also want to use this glue for connecting the sides of the bridge and the sides of the canopy to the outer areas of the card. (Flatten the card in one direction when attaching these connecting pieces.)
Wink of Stella on the detailed areas of the bridge help give it a more metallic look.
The big leaves and the white sentiment oval are added with Mini Dimensionals.

I wanted to make birthday cards with the contents of the Let’s Party kit, one of the selections in the Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up!® Normally this kit makes “pillow” box treat containers as you can see when you click on this link to take you to the product in the online store.
So I played around with these kit pieces and came up with this card layout below.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic White Thick Cardstock
4-1/4” x <5-1/2″ (5-7/16″) scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
Box base from the kit
Trim off the rounded ends to give you a piece that is 4-1/4” tall (save the ends)
Directions
After slicing off the rounded ends of the kit box base, trim the scraps in half. Keep the two rounded pieces and discard the two notched pieces.
Fold only on the score mark towards the outer edge of the box base layer. Connect this folded end with the Basic White Cardstock wrapping the end around. When it’s all lined up, add adhesive and adhere.
Adhere one of the rounded ends in the center of the outside edge of the exposed area of the Basic White Cardstock. Add one of the scalloped circles from the kit so it extends out and off the front, so it’s centered/lined up with the rounded end on the outer edge, and with the second rounded edge tucked underneath but seen when the card is open.
(You may need to trim the ends before tucking this piece or it will look like this.)
Stamp the sentiments on the rectangles. Attach the animal and the front sentiment with Dimensionals. Add the inside sentiment.
Add embellishments from the kit and some of the yellow Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots.

My friend and fellow team member, Vy Tran from Crafting Daily Dose creates some impressive cards. If you’ve never seen her projects, click here for her Instagram posts or here for her YouTube videos. Her latest design got me so excited that I had to make a version of it right away. It’s a pop-up card that goes from flat to fantastic! And the base is a hexagon shape when in the full pop-up position.
Products I used… See below for a few of the products I used. They are linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Fun, right?!
This is the top view of the “nacho” card.
And it folds flat and fits inside our A2/medium size envelopes.
Here are a couple close-ups of my “holy guacamole” card. On this one I remembered to emboss the Parakeet Party cardstock (the guacamole) before assembling. This one is actually made a little bit differently than the “nacho” one, because I put it together before I reached out to Vy. I love trying to figure out things like this on my own. I love the challenge!
Oh! And can you tell what the red and green bits are?
Tomatoes and cilantro! I gave a wet, shiny look to my tomatoes with a bit of Fine Tip Glue.
I hope you enjoyed these ideas. To get Vy’s fabulous measurements & instructions for this type of card, click here for the details on her Queen Bee Workshop.

This is the best way to enjoy all that Stampin' Up! has to offer. Plus it's fun to be on the demonstrator side of things!

In the spirit of full disclosure, I am an affiliate with Stamp-n-Storage which means I may get commissions if you click on links I provide and decide to purchase anything from this company. I love their products and recommend them because I own several myself and believe my readers will benefit from them.
