Sorry for the delay in my post today. But it’s now ready! And I’m excited to share with you a new fun fold card…I call it the Pop-Up Diamond Tiara. I made these first three cards with the Label Me Grateful Stamp Set & Dies and the gorgeous Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper (I can’t get enough of this paper!). And because it’s Wednesday, I shared the instruction in my Online Paper Crafting Class.
And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the FIRST video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you can view it).
Then watch the SECOND video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you can view it). Scroll through the 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 these videos. Sorry that my first one got “cut off.” But I’m glad I had the time to create a new link so I could finish the share.
Below are photos of my cards, a visual list of products (each linked to where you can find them in my online store), and measurements for what I demonstrated. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live.

I have to say I think the June 2025 Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin kit is one of my absolute favorites! I suppose it helps that I’m a huge fan of berries. I love their taste AND I love how healthy they are! I came home on Friday evening and my kits (yes, I get more than one) were there waiting for me. Thankfully I had some time on Monday and Tuesday to create with the contents to come up with my first set of alternate project ideas so I could share them with you today.
This July 2025 Sweeter With You kit has enough supplies to make 8 cards (2 of 4 kinds). Did you get the kit and want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.
I love to show kit subscribers other ways to use their 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 have 4 different card ideas for you (two of them are fun folds) and lots of tips and tricks. Earlier today I demonstrated these ideas during my Live Online Paper Crafting Class on YouTube. Maybe you tuned in?
Watch my videohere to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on this image below if you are already in my blog post). 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 creations. Then remember to visit my blog again soon, because I’ll have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in future posts!
BTW…YouTube cut me off before I was done sharing. So there were two cards I didn’t quite finish that I will share when I post again on August 8th. AND I was unable to announce the FREE SHIPPING promotion going on today. So I hope you will scroll down to read the details so you can take advantage of that great deal going on today through Friday.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below are close-up photos of the alternate cards I created. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

The Beautiful Blues Kit from the Kits Collection has the perfect imagery for this new fun fold card. So I pulled this kit out again and assembled today’s card. I’m calling it the Museum Gallery Fold because when open it looks like there are three panels of artwork set back behind protective barriers. These “barriers” actually help to hold the card upright and give the card added unique dimension. The pattened card bases and other elements in this kit worked great for the artwork, the sentiment layer in the middle and the sentiment and accent foliage on the lower left (on the front of the card when closed).
I actually created two other cards with the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper prior to assembling this sample card. But this one is more simplified, so I thought I’d share it with you first.

Ta-da! Thanks for your patience. It’s been over a week since I’ve posted. But I’m finding creative time again and today I have for you my first set of June 2025 Paper Pumpkin alternate project ideas! Yay!!
This June 2025 Full of Charm kit has enough supplies to make 9 cards (3 of 3 kinds). Do you want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.
I love to show kit recipients other ways to use their 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 have 14 different card ideas for you: two fun folds, two red, white & blue cards, a technique card, and 9 that I made from the supplies of 3 kit cards to show how you can triple the cards in your kit. Earlier today I demonstrated these ideas during my Live Online Paper Crafting Class on YouTube. Maybe you tuned in?

Landscape Diamond Display Card
Nine Cards from Three Kit Cards (and MANY variations)
If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit. The refill kit doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own.
If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I invite you to give it a try. CLICK HERE to learn more about Paper Pumpkin kits of creativity. CLICK HERE to sign up by July 10th for this next kit.

I am partnering with a team of talented Stampin’ Up! demonstrators to create alternate projects each month using the contents of the Paper Pumpkin kits. These exclusive projects are within printable PDF tutorials and include measurements, supply lists, photos and directions. They are shared as a FREE bonus gift to our Paper Pumpkin kit subscribers and team members. And you can purchase them as early as the 1st of each month that follows the release of each kit. So the June 2025 Full of Charm exclusives will be available at this link July 1st.
I hope you had fun and gained some creative inspiration!
