MY FAVORITE EXTRAS I’ve added a new section to my website titled My Favorite Extras. This is where you can find direct links to other products (from Amazon, Stamp-n-Storage, The Country Hive, etc.) that I love, use, and share about.
Father’s Day is about a month away, so I created a couple cards with the new Rugged Icons Dies. These cards are unique in that they hold shut by tucking the corner. You may have seen Corner Tuck Fold cards before, but I wanted my pockets for tucking to not be so obvious when the cards are in the open position. So I camouflaged them.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these Father’s Day cards. 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.

MY FAVORITE EXTRAS I’ve added a new section to my website titled My Favorite Extras. This is where you can find direct links to other products (from Amazon, Stamp-n-Storage, The Country Hive, etc.) that I love, use, and share about.
Summer is approaching and we are experiencing comfortable outdoor weather here in Minnesota. So I had the urge to pull out my Hey Sports Fan Designer Paper and Resin Stars and challenge myself to see if I could create a card using only those two products and some base cardstock. I don’t own the coordinating stamp set or dies from that suite. Here is what I came up with.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Poppy Parade Cardstock
5-1/2” x 12″ scored parallel to short side at 2-1/2”, 6-3/4″ and 9-3/8″
Hey Sports Fan Designer Paper (starburst design)
5-1/4” x 11-3/8”
Hey Sports Fan Designer Paper (blue wood design)
2-1/4” x 5-1/4”
Hey Sports Fan Designer Paper (tickets, flags, and pennants)
a few of these images cut with scissors or with the help of the Sports Events Dies
Directions…
Cut the starburst designer paper into 4 sections: Start from the left side and cut 2-5/16″ in. Then with what is remaining cut 4-1/8″ and again at 2-1/2.” This should leave you with your 4th piece 2-7/16″ wide. Fold the card base as shown in the photos. And add these pieces in order to these panels.
Fold the card shut and add the blue wood design layer.
Color a few rhinestones with the Blends markers.
Add the cut out the tickets, flags, and pennants.
Embellish with the stars and rhinestones.
Enjoy your weekend!

MY FAVORITE EXTRAS I’ve added a new section to my website titled My Favorite Extras. This is where you can find direct links to other products (from Amazon, Stamp-n-Storage, The Country Hive, etc.) that I love, use, and share about.
Today is the last day to sign up (or have an active subscription) for Paper Pumpkin so you get in on the May kit titled Celebrating In Color. (Information on this kit can be found at the bottom of this post.)
So I thought I’d share one more card I made with the April Change is Beautiful kit. And… I have my blog post linked to posts from those in my PPX exclusives video crew. So see what I have to share. Thenscroll down and click on the names of other hop participants to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas with this Paper Pumpkin kit. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
This is the z-fold card I made. The new blue pack of For Everything Fancy Sequins are the perfect embellishments for the cascading flowers in this design. And of course the Sending Smiles bundle paired well to bring this card the dimension I was looking for for the eclipse technique.
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.
Measurements…
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 11 scored parallel to the short side at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
Scraps for die-cutting “Sending” four times
Scraps for layering under the stamped front “SUNSHINE” sentiment
Kit card (sunshine half)
4″ x 5-1/4″ (cut sun/moon card in half, then trim 1/8″ off each side of the sun half)
Kit envelope (white side of any kit envelope)
4″ x just a little under 5-3/8″
Scrap for stamping and cutting out “SUNSHINE”
Directions…
Cut and prepare all pieces listed above in the measurements.
Add 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ black layer to z-folded card base as shown.
Die-cut “Sending” piece from sunshine layer (save every scrap as you’ll need to put them back into the card later). Adhere the sunshine layer to the 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ black front card layer.
Die-cut and glue together four black “Sending” pieces.
Place the one cut from the card back in place as a guide (do not glue this). Then use the Take Your Pick Tool to glue back in the scraps to fill in the holes.
Glue the “Sending” cut from the sunshine layer onto the black layered pieces. Then glue these into place on the card.
Ink up only the “TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY” portion of the stamp. Stamp it onto the large white layer (from the cut envelope). Then adhere it to the inside of the card. Stamp the front end of the sentiment onto the white envelope scrap, and cut out the word SUNSHINE. Glue to a scrap of black, and cut around it so the black becomes a layer underneath. Repeat two more times.
Glue this to the card front as shown.
Add the flowers.
Then glue on the sequin pieces.

MY FAVORITE EXTRAS I’ve added a new section to my website titled My Favorite Extras. This is where you can find direct links to other products (from Amazon, Stamp-n-Storage, The Country Hive, etc.) that I love, use, and share about.
I’ve got a fun fold card for you today that features my most favorite out-going designer paper, Expressions in Ink. I paired this paper with the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set, coordinating Tulip Dies, and two other products from the Flowering Fields Suite: the Brushed Brass Butterflies and the Evening Evergreen Window Check Ribbon.
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 Cardstock
4-1/4” x 12” scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2″ and 9-1/2″
(2) 2-5/8″ x 2-5/8″
1-3/4″ x 6″ strip for die-cutting row of tulips
Evening Evergreen Cardstock
(2) 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
Expressions in Ink Designer Paper
4″ x 11-1/4″ cut into three pieces: top one 4″ x 2-1/4″, 4″ x 3-3/4″ and 4″ x 5-1/4″
Evening Evergreen Windowpane Ribbon
5″
Directions
Die-cut the row of tulips, fold card base, attach the tulip row just under the top edge with the left edges lined up, and trim off the excess on the right.
Stamp the sentiment and tulip images. Start with the more solid images and stamp them in “stamped off” or “second generation” ink. Stamp the coordinating floral image with full ink next. Then add the stems, leaves and stamen.
Add the extra tulip strip piece to the designer paper that will be in the middle. Then add the ribbon wrapping the ends around to the back.
Attach the designer paper panels in order so the images flow.
Layer the white squares onto the Evening Evergreen squares. Attach the sentiment piece with Seal.
Close the card and add the tulip piece with Dimensionals.
Then add the butterfly embellishments.
