Seaside Spray Cardstock
Scrap for stamping, embossing, and fussy-cutting ornament
Whisper White Cardstock
Scrap for punching 2-1/4″ Circle
Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon
7″
Directions…
Stamp ornament image with VersaMark Ink onto scrap of Seaside Spray Cardstock. Sprinkle on Silver Emboss Powder, shake/tap off excess, then heat with the Heat Tool to melt powder and emboss. Cut image out with Paper Snips.
Punch out 2-1/4″ Whisper White Circle. Stamp “to” and “from” with VersaMark Ink. Sprinkle on Silver Emboss Powder, shake/tap off excess, then heat with the Heat Tool to melt and emboss.
Add ornament to the center of a Square Vellum Doily using Dimensionals. Add this to the lid of the Round Tin using Glue Dots under the Dimensionals of the ornament.
Then flip the lid over, add a few more Glue Dots under the area where the ornament sits. And adhere the Whisper White circle.

This second one showing off gold-edge ribbons and the Gold Gilded Gems is a decorated Gold Mini Pizza Box container – also food-safe, but made out of a coated cardboard and not as airtight. These boxes are in the 2020-21 Annual Catalog are are perfect for holding squares of fudge or non-crumbly goodies.

Measurements…
Mossy Meadow Cardstock
3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
Whisper White Cardstock
1″ x 3-1/2″
All the Trimmings Ribbon
8″ each color
Directions…
Punch the end of the Whisper White strip with the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. Trim the other end (or use the Banners Pick A Punch). Then stamp the sentiment.
Position this strip where you want it to be on the Mossy Meadow layer, but don’t attach yet. Stamp the branch images – each time moving the white strip away to make room for the whole image.
Assemble the gold box, then add the Mossy Meadow layer using Seal+ Adhesive.
Use the Bone Folder to give the strip a bit of a curve. Then add to the top of the box using Dimensionals and Seal+.
Hold the ribbon layered one over the other, and tie in a bow as if they are one strand of ribbon. Then spread the bow apart a bit to reveal both colors.
Embellish box with the bow and some Gold Gilded Gems.

(If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see links and follow the hop.)
My project idea that I’m sharing today is Paper Wallet Gift Card Holder. I remember making these years ago. And then my team members, Nancy and Kayla shared an adorable one on their blog last spring. So I’ve had it in my head to do one ever since. Well…I ended up making several because they were so easy. And then I ended up making one for each of my stamping club members! (These five are mine to keep.)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store. And if you live in the USA and shop with me you will receive the August tutorial bundle FREE with your $50+ order!

This is the inside.
And this is the back view.
Directions…
Fold the Basic Black base piece. Pinch the two one-inch wide sections together and secure with a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive positioned super close the 5″ score line. Punch the slot for the gift card by bringing the Classic Label Punch only halfway in along the 6″ fold.
Add designer paper to the back and inside areas.
Die-cut the foil sheet pieces and stamp with feather and sentiment. Stamp the feather on the 2-3/4″ x 4″ cardstock piece and attach to the inside bottom section.
Tie bows in each piece of twine.
Add the foil sentiment piece and one of the twine bows.
Close the wallet, wrap the Basic Black belly band, and secure with Seal+. Be sure that the belly band can slide off and on.
Wrap and adhere the coordinating cardstock strip around the belly band with the ends meeting in the front. Add a couple Dimensionals to hold those ends. Then add the foil scallop circle piece and the bow.
Then just insert a gift card, add a note, and give it to a friend or loved on.
Here are the four others close up.
I hope you enjoyed this fun fold gift card holder and are now inspired to give it a go!

I love the Peaceful Poppies Suite. But there is one product in that suite that I hadn’t touched much until recently…the Peaceful Poppies Elements. These are basically a bunch of die-cut labels, banners, borders, poppies, and leaves that can give you a fun, quick, artistic accent to your paper crafting projects.
You get 8 sheets total…
* 2 sheets black die-cut elements with black foil prints: labels, banners, borders
* 2 sheets white thick coated cardstock die-cuts with colored prints: poppies
* 2 sheets vellum die-cuts with white printing: poppies and leaves
* 2 sheets watercolor paper die-cuts with clear embossed images for watercoloring: poppies and leaves
Some of my club members earned the Peaceful Poppies Elements as a product perk for their order. I would’ve just made one card design for you today, but I needed to send 30 cards and didn’t have enough elements of one kind to do just one design. So I made FOUR card designs to share with you today!
The top and bottom left cards (#1) are similar except for color. The top right (#2) is a fun fold card. And the bottom right (#3) was super quick to make.

Bermuda Bay or Poppy Parade Cardstock

Tips…
When adding color to the watercolor paper flowers and leaves, first paint on a more diluted shade. Then bring in the darker colors to areas where you want the deeper tones. The wet paper will allow you to manipulate your darker color a bit more. Avoid getting too much water on the paper. Once dry, use a damp paper towel to remove any color sitting on the embossed outline. And go outside the lines!
Cut the black borders in half. You only need half of one per card.

Cut the black banners in half. You only need half of one per card. And sandwich it between the front white and black layers.
Tie the ribbon around the front layered piece before attaching it to the card and before adding the narrow watercolored flower. Be sure to attach it by only placing Dimensionals behind the left half.

Welcome to our All Star Tutorial group blog hop! Did you get your hands on this month’s set of tutorials featuring the Parisian Blossoms Suite yet?! It’s an amazing 74-page bundle! These tutorials are designed by 12 globally recognized Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world. They are exclusive to those who earn them or purchase them, and they are complete with photos, directions, supply lists and measurements in both imperial and metric.
This is a larger peek of the project tutorial I contributed. I’m into fun folds with vellum lately (hint hint)!
Our hop today will give you MORE ideas than what we are offering in our bundle. See what I have to share. Then to follow the hop and see other creative project ideas featuring the Parisian Blossoms Suite, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants in our tutorial team. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
My card that I’m sharing today uses the Parisian Blossoms Designer Paper, Champagne Rhinestones, Forever Blossoms Stamp Set, and coordinating Cherry Blossoms Dies. It’s a very basic card (unlike the one that I made with vellum for the tutorial bundle).
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store. And if you live in the USA and shop with me you will receive the March tutorial bundle FREE with your $50+ order!
Measurements…
Pool Party Cardstock
11″ x 4-1/4″ scored parallel to the short end at 5-1/2″
Scraps for die-cutting two leaves
Whisper White Cardstock
Two pieces that are 5-1/4″ x 4″
1/2″ x 2-1/2″
Parisian Blossoms Designer Paper,
5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
Petal Pink Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting flower
Champagne Foil Sheet
Scrap for die-cutting flower center
Basic Black Cardstock
Scrap for punching 2-1/4″ Circle Punch
Tips…
Stamp inside sentiment on one of the 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White pieces. Add to the inside of the card.
Stamp “Cherish” onto the Whisper White strip. (You can use tape to mask the rest of the stamp when inking. Or just be careful to only ink this one word.)
Punch and die-cut all the pieces mentioned in the measurements section above.
Adhere the sentiment strip across the Basic Black circle while also adding the Petal Pink flower. Trim off any excess sentiment strip. Add Pool Party leaves and Champagne Foil flower center using Glue Dots.
Layer the designer paper onto the second 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White piece, and attach this to the front of the card using Dimensionals.
Add the Basic Black circle piece onto the front lower right of the card using Dimensionals.
Embellish with Champagne Rhinestones.
If you want to get a little fancier, here are a couple slightly stepped-up versions of this card. I used two patterns of designer paper (3″ x 3-7/8″ and 2″ x 3-7/8″), brought the flower up on a Dimensional while keeping the black circle and large white layer flat, and then made the sentiment strip one long 5/8″ x 4-1/4″ strip to cover the separation between the designer papers and to allow the whole sentiment to be shared.
I hope our ideas in this hop are inspiring your creativity! Remember to visit everyone on the list below.

Here’s a card that may blow your mind. It’s called a Hexaflexagon. And it’s made from just one 2″ x 12″ strip of paper! A little background on this type of fun fold from Wikepedia… “In geometry, flexagons are flat models, usually constructed by folding strips of paper, that can be flexed or folded in certain ways to reveal faces besides the two that were originally on the back and front. Flexagons are usually square or rectangular or hexagonal. The discovery of the first flexagon, a trihexaflexagon, is credited to the British student Arthur H. Stone, who was studying at Princeton University in the United States in 1939.”
I uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). And then I was able to share it here in my blog post.

I hope many of you were able to get your hands on this one.
The kit is titled Lovely Day and it included supplies to put together nine 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” cards and envelopes. And it included the supplies shown below.
I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So I added the extra supplies in the product list at the bottom of this post to the above kit contents and created my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:
Two Slide-Out Pocket Fun Fold Cards
Mini Gift Bags (Make Two From One Card Base)
A Hexaflexagon Card
And Three Cards Made Using the Extras In the Kit
Watch my video first to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog). 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 be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing soon. 😁
Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make.
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch the video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

(Though this kit coordinates perfectly with the Happy Birthday to You Stamp Set (item 152308), which is available free as part of Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration promotion, I did not use that set in ANY of today’s projects. But I WILL be sharing more later. So stay tuned.)
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!
