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 got a swap from fellow demonstrator and team member, Lisa Marshall. And I loved it so much, I immediately had to CASE the layout using other products. So I made two other versions: one with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle and Berry Blessings Designer Paper and the other with Floating & Fluttering Bundle, Borders Abound Stamp Set, and Forever Greenery Designer Paper.
And check out how the card opens!
Below are the directions for assembling and details (measurements & supplies) for each card.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions
Position scored card base in the trimmer half-way at 2-1/8″ (long edge perpendicular to the top edge of the trimmer), and slice from the score line out. Fold card in half to picture which way it will open and cut away (either with Paper Snips or Trimmer) the top half of the card base front.
Emboss the lower half.
Adhere the inside Basic White layer.
Line up the designer paper in pattern order. Close the card and add the outer two pieces of designer paper first about 1/8″ away from the side and top edges of the white. Then add the middle piece.
Attach the ribbon.
Then after stamping and die-cutting or punching, add the front pieces and embellishments.

It has been so bitterly cold here reaching 30 below at one point. And it looks like it’s been unseasonably cold in many parts of the US recently. So of course many of us are pretty relieved that temps are coming back to normal again. In our household we are dreaming of our upcoming rescheduled Stampin’ Up! incentive trip that is still in the plans to take place in May. And we are ALL going – me, my husband, AND our two boys, Nick and Luke. We are ready for warmth, sand, sunshine, and the ocean.
So I pulled out the Sand & Sea Suite of products and created a couple cards that were inspired by the layout of Kristie Strum’s swap card (hers was the second card that I shared on Monday’s post). I just love how the strip of designer paper peeks out on the right. Thanks Kristie!

Directions
Emboss vellum, stamp and punch sentiment piece, die-cut foil circle, punch cardstock circle, and stamp inside white layer.
Attach vellum to the front with just a bit of Seal under where the sentiment layer will sit. Add the punched circle, then the die-cut circle, then the punched sentiment (on Dimensionals). Attach the white and the designer paper strip to the inside. These pieces will meet but not overlap.
Add a coordinating sticker on the inside where the punched circle. Add Opal Rounds to the front. Then lift up the vellum and add Glue Dots under the Opal Rounds to adhere the vellum to the card base a bit more.

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 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).

Today I have two more alternate projects to share that I made with the Sending Hearts Paper Pumpkin kit. Tomorrow is the last day to sign up (or have an active subscription) for Paper Pumpkin so you get in on this month’s February kit. And if your subscription is through me, you’ll be able to enjoy exclusive ideas shared in video tutorials from myself and 5 other creative Stampin’ Up! demonstrators on the PPX Crew.
Here are a two more projects that I created with this past month’s Sending Hearts kit: a love-themed scrapbook page layout and a z-fold layer card.
My page layout was built around the triangle tile heart pattern you may have seen in quilting.
Extra 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.

Directions…
Prepare all the pieces according the measurements above.
Then cut all the squares diagonally to get triangles.
Form the heart by following the pattern in the photo below. After laying it all out with spacing that seems even, adhere one piece at a time. (I found it easiest to add corners, then sides, and then the middle.)
Attach the smaller triangles on the right page next.
Stamp the large heart and the hearts/flowers image/
Add photo mats, double stacked “Love”, and the pearls.
My z-fold layer card was so much fun to make that I made extras and sent them off to five of my lucky subscribers.

Directions
To get all the red patterned card base pieces, cut one of the card bases in the kit in half. Then cut 1/4″ off the the side and 1/4″ off the bottom. From those strips cut two 3″ lengths. Then to remove the center 3″ x 4″ piece from the remaining 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece, cut 1/2″ in on the right and left and cut 5/8″ in from the top and bottom.
Stamp “Love” and “you” onto heart piece. Stamp “xoxo” on flipped over center card base piece.
Tie the ribbon onto the heart piece.
Fold the Basic Black z-fold layer. Attach the frame card base piece to the 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Basic Black. Then attach the z-fold layer so it’s centered and opens as shown in the photos.
Add the thin red strips, then the heart layer to the front of the closed z-fold.
Open up the z-fold and add the pink enamel hearts from the kit and some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to finish the card.
