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.

Are you a fan of that Florals In Bloom Suite Collection?
Here are three cards you can easily make with the stamps and paper from this suite. (These cards have a similar layout to those I shared a month ago in my 6/29/25 blog post.)
Prepare your pieces.
Measurements for one card
Base cardstock (Petunia Pop, Pretty In Pink or Secret Sea)
5-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ scored parallel to the long side at 4-1/4″
Accent color of cardstock (Berry Burst, Real Red or Summer Splash)
1-5/8″ (or 1-7/8″) x 5-1/2″
1″ x 5-1/2″ (side accent strip)
Basic White Cardstock
3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″
1-1/2″ (or 1-3/4″) x 5-1/2″
Florals In Bloom Designer Paper
4″ x 5-1/2″
Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon
4″
I stamped my white layer/s first.
For the red and purple flower cards, I first stamped the outline image of the flower about an inch from the top of the white strip. Then I used daubers to add the color to the flower fill-in stamp. I daubed on the lighter ink at the top of the flower, then I daubed on the darker ink at the base and stamped it within the outline. I added the green stem image and sentiment below with the “hello” sitting about an inch from the bottom edge.
For the orange/blue flower cards, I first inked up the stems in Secret Sea ink and stamped off to lighten before stamping it centered onto the white strip. Then I used daubers to add Peach Pie ink to the solid flowers image – I added it lightly at the tops of the flowers and with more dense amounts of ink at the bottoms. After stamping these solid images at the tops of the stems, I stamped the lined images of the flowers within using full Peach Pie ink. I repeated these steps to get the Summer Splash flowers. Then I tapped the barrel of my open brush tip end of my Secret Sea Blends marker against my Bone Folder to add tiny dots of color. And I stamped the sentiment on the inside white layer.
Then I assembled my card. I folded my card base at the score line. The I added the side accent strip to the front of this 1″ wide section so that it stuck out a little beyond to be seen on the inside and to reveal the base cardstock a bit to the left on the front. Next I added the designer paper layer just to the right to show the base and the accent strip a bit on the left and so that when the card was closed a little bit of the base cardstock underneath showed off to the right too.
I added the wider accent color cardstock flush to the right edge of the designer paper layer and put the stamped floral white layer on top of that. Then I finished my card by adding a knot of ribbon with a Glue Dot and the sequins with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Thanks for checking out today’s blog post. I hope this gave you a bit of creative inspiration.

Today I’m sharing a few photos, measurements, and a supply list for a unique window card that I created with the Party Alphabet Dies. This card also features “reversibles” images from the Feathered Friends Stamp Set and the beautiful blue gradient paper from the foiled Thoughtful Designs patterned paper pack. Because the Party Alphabet letters form the window of the card, I wanted them to say the same thing from the front and back. And the three letter word YAY was a perfect palindrome! (Here is my finished card. This is the view of the front with the card closed.
And here is the view of inside with the card open. Isn’t it fun!?
I will share the full directions and helpful tips for this card tomorrow evening for my supporter members of my YouTube channel in an exclusive Live video. If you are one of those members, be sure to go the members section of my channel so you can view it live or watch the replay to get all of that extra information (oh!

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.)
**Products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.

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 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.

But watch where you glue things down.

Are you looking to make some gorgeous, elegant cards quickly? “Pear” up a sheet of your favorite designer paper with sentiments from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera and maybe an embellishment or two. The cards I’m sharing today feature a beautiful sheet of paper from the Painterly Pears Designer Paper pack.
I cut six 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces from one sheet…
…to create these cards.
I added the ribbons (and sentiment layers from the ephemera pack on Dimensionals) before attaching the designer paper layers to the Misty Moonlight Cardstock card bases (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ folded in half at 4-1/4″). Then on the inside of each card I added a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ Basic White layer.
I also used the Low Profile Sparkle Dots to embellish – the blue and green ones I added to fill in some of the white space on four of the cards. And the yellow ones I added in the centers of some of the flowers on two of the cards.
I hope I inspired your creativity.
And remember…I won’t be doing any Live Online Paper Crafting Class today because I just had surgery. My next one is scheduled for July 23rd. But if I’m up for it I may do one this Saturday. Just check my Google calendar or YouTube channel the night before. (I should know by the evening of the 18th if I’m good to go for the 19th.) I’d be sharing a pretty card/a new fun fold I created!
