Today I’m going to show you some cards that I made with the This Birthday Piggy stamp set and the coordinating, limited-time Playful Piggy dies from the Perfect Partners promotion. These three note cards I’m sharing have “dimension” – one card has a wobble, one has a zig-zag extension, and one pops out at you when you open it up! Fun, right?!
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these cards with the This Birthday Piggy Stamp Set, the Playful Piggy Dies, the Awash in Beauty Designer Paper, some Stampin’ Blends Markers, and other coordinating product. 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.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

I’m hooked on the Pop-Out Bendy Fun Fold card! I shared my first one on August 20th with the Apple Harvest Stamp Set and Apple Blossoms Dies, the second one on August 22nd with the August ’22 Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit, and the third on August 24th with the Aspen Tree Dies, Lights Aglow Designer Paper and Leaf Fall Embossing Folder. Hahaha! So if you are hoping I’ll be done, I can assure you I have different cards & projects planned for the near future. But for today, let me share with you one more.
This is my fourth one. And I created it with the Christmas Pinecones Dies.
As I promised in my August 24th Live, today I am sharing with you the measurements, supplies and photos for this one. But if you are new to how to make a card like this, I invite you to watch my how-to video from my August 24th post.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

A Soft Succulent circle die-cut with the 2-1/2″ diameter die
Here are a couple more photos.
This card is a bit of work with cutting and layering all the die-cuts. So if your Christmas card list is long, I would encourage you to get the supplies you need and start creating sooner than later. 😉
I had intended to get this card posted this morning, but I was at the Minnesota State Fair all day yesterday with my son Nick,…
his high school marching band, and the many parent volunteers. I was one of these chaperones/band parent volunteers. So I got to be there right in the action of their parade performance with the water…
and to cheer them on later for their TV 5:00 news performance.
(I absolutely love all these faces! From left to right clockwise: Parker, Jaylene, Joey, Nick and Rob)
It was so amazing to see the hard work and dedication of the kids and all the others involved. It was fun to laugh at the goofy moments like these. (Nick with his girlfriend Jaylene are attached at the hip. Both of them are quad players).
And it was fun to be able to spend some relaxing fair time there with the other parents and especially my sister Renée (her son Rob is one of the bass drum players in the band). By the way…this Island Hopper is the BEST food there at the fair! My family is going back there on Tuesday. And I’m going to get this again for sure.

Did you catch the blog hop I participated in a few days back on August 20th? Those of us in that hop each featured a fun fold card called the Pop-Out Bendy card. I used the Apple Harvest Stamp Set (available now) and Apple Blossoms Dies (which will be available September 1st) in my version of this fold.
Well… I got hooked and made a few more cards with this fold. One of them I shared on August 22nd. And the other two I’m showing you today.
In fact I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this Pop-Out Bendy Fun Fold Card with the Aspen Tree Dies, Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set, Leaf Fall Embossing Folder, and Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Paper. I also showed another version of this card I made with the Christmas Pinecones 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.
Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for the Aspen Trees card I demonstrated. On Friday I’ll share the details for the Christmas Pines version of the card.

What a stunning kit! And I guess we all felt that way, because Stampin’ Up! just informed us that there will be no refills available for the Aug ’22 Sweet Sunflowers. It “sold out” just from those that subscribed. Wow, right?! Well…for those of you who DID get it, here are my first alternate projects that I created with this Paper Pumpkin. And I’m excited to share them with you today!
This month’s kit contained the supplies shown below to make nine stunning cards.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show subscribers other ways to use those supplies. I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So today I’m sharing with you…
Seven alternate cards (including tulle shakers and a pop-out bendy fun fold)
And a fun set of tags in a multi-pocket holder
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.)
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
Seven alternate cards (including tulle shakers and a pop-out bendy fun fold)
And a fun set of tags in a multi-pocket holder
Tulle shaker cards
Simple “layer” cards
Pop-out bendy fun fold card
And after originally posting, I fixed this card so the gold layer was behind the bendy strap. I like it better this way.
A fun set of tags in a multi-pocket holder
I added this photo below to my 9/1/22 post and then decided to add it here. Hope this helps those of you who visit back here later.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.

It’s time to celebrate my mentor, friend, and upline Susan Campfield! She just reached her 25th Stampin’ Up!® anniversary. And we are throwing her an online celebration through this special blog hop today! To follow the hop, see what I have to share, then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas by clicking the navy blue “next” button towards the bottom of my post and towards the bottom of each post to follow.
Our hop not only celebrates this kind, generous, and creative gal, but it celebrates the inspiration and leadership she gives to her entire team and other demonstrator peers.
We were inspired by one of the latest fun fold cards she shared on her blog on 7/27/22. So our hop will be showing many versions of that Pop Out Bendy Fun Fold Card.
Products I used… a complete list of products I used is shown below, and everything is linked to where you can find them in my online store.
It starts out looking like a typical Gate Fold Card. But once you slide off the belly band, you get a fun surprise. The inside floats towards you!
Measurements…
Garden Green Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4” and in from each end at 2-1/8” for card base
1” x 5-1/8” scored parallel to the short side 1/2” in from each end for bendy piece
1” x 3” scored parallel to the short side at 1/2” and 1” in from each end for the “wobble”
(2) 2” x 5-3/8” for the layering panels inside the card (Die-cut a 4″ x 5-3/8″ piece with the Stitched Greenery Die first and then cut in half.)
Real Red Cardstock
1” x 9-1/4” for the bellyband
2-7/8″ x 2-7/8″ for the front layer
Basic White Thick Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting the 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ stitched square for the front
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting the front apples on a branch image
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting the inside apples on a branch image
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting the sentiment piece on the inside
(2) 2” x 5-3/8” for the panels on the back of the card
Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper
(2) 2” x 5-3/8” for the layering panels inside the card (red herringbone image)
(2) 2” x 5-3/8” for the layering panels outside front of the card (leaves image)
Gold & Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon
8-1/2″ to wrap along belly band
5-1/2″ to wrap along bendy piece
You’ll be able to find a how-to video within Susan’s blog post, so I won’t attempt to write everything down here. But be sure to attach the strips of ribbon to the belly band and the inside bendy piece BEFORE doing any other attaching. You may also want to practice coloring with your Blends Markers onto scrap pieces of cardstock before coloring on your final images. Here are the Blends I used for the images…
flowers – Petal Pink (light)
inside of apples – Petal Pink (light)
outside of apples – Calypso Coral (light), Real Red (dark and light), Cherry Cobbler (dark and light)
I think the rest will make sense after watching her video.
Since there is no place to sign this card on the front or inside, I added white cardstock to the back like Susan had done on a couple of her cards. If you didn’t visit her blog to see her cards yet, click here.
