May 13, 2019 | Fun Folds, Gallery, Love & Wedding, Tips/Techniques/Tutorials, What's NEW!? |
Happy belated Mother’s Day! I meant to share this card with you yesterday. But oops! I forgot to post it.
I LOVED making this card with the upcoming new Perennial Essence Suite of products that will debut in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog June 4, 2019. I didn’t send it to my mom for Mother’s Day (sent this one instead). But after making it, I realized this it would have been perfect.
I actually made TWO versions of this card. The other one is below. I’ll share the details for both.
Measurements…
- Whisper White Cardstock
- 8-1/2” x 4-1/4” scored at 5-1/2” and folded for card base
- 4″ x 2-7/8″
- Mossy Meadow Cardstock
- Perennial Essence Vellum Cardstock
- Pink scraps for stamping, embossing and punching three flowers
- Green scraps for stamping, embossing and punching two sets of leaves
- Perennial Essence Designer Paper
- Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon
Directions…
- Stamp the flowers and leaves with VersaMark Ink, emboss with Clear Embossing Powder, and punch out with coordinating punches.
- Using SNAIL and Glue Dots, assemble three pink flower layers, one set of leaves, and the Perennial Essence Floral Center to create the main flower.
- Tie ribbon from the front of the card to the inside. Tie in knot and trim the ends.
- Slide ribbon so it’s about 1/4″ from the bottom edge of the front flap. Then add Glue Dots to the bottom front edge of the ribbon to connect it with this 1/4″ Whisper White bottom edge section of the front flap. Add SNAIL to the Mossy Meadow strip, then attach this to this area where the Glue Dots are.
- Use the assembled flower as a guide (don’t adhere quite yet), then stamp the sentiment to the front of the card. Stamp the other sentiment on the 4″ x 2-7/8″ Whisper White piece.
- Adhere the second set of leaves with a Glue Dot so it’s coming out the bottom left portion of this Whisper White layer.
- Finish the card by adhering the designer paper layer to the inside bottom of the card, the 4″ x 2-7/8″ Whisper White stamped layer to the inside top of the card, the assembled flower to the front of the card, and three Rhinestones as shown.
Product List
Here is the second version of this card. I love how just changing the sentiments, colors, and embellishments, this card becomes something so different!

- Scraps for stamping and punching two sets of leaves

- Add SNAIL to the Mossy Meadow strip, then attach this to front bottom edge of the Whisper White card base.
- Tie ribbon from the front of the card to the inside. Tie in knot and trim the ends.
- Use the assembled flower as a guide (don’t adhere quite yet), then stamp the sentiment to the front of the card. Stamp the other sentiment on the 4″ x 2-7/8″ Whisper White piece.

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS
Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.

#APaperPumpkinThing
Yippee! Today is a blog hop day with Paper Pumpkin kit ideas! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the March 2019 “Poppin’ Birthday” Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants.
Here is a photo of the intended project from this month’s kit – 8 pop up cards: 4 each of 2 designs.
I shared a several ideas with this kit on Monday, but today I have a wedding card & matching gift tag.
If you wish to recreate these with your kit contents, follow the measurements and tips below.
Measurements of extra products:
- Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon:
- 10″ for the card
- What you’d need for wrapping your gift for the tag
Measurements of kit products:
- Smoky Slate striped card base:
- 2-3/4″ x 8-1/2″ (a card base cut in half) for the tag
- 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ square cut from white label piece for the tag
Extra Stampin’ Up! Products I Used: See below for a full list of extra supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions:
- For the card, attach either the “stacked presents” or “layered cake” insert to the inside of the smoky slate card base so the white side is face up. BUT FIRST…stamp the confetti image in VersaMark ink, add the Silver Emboss Powder, and heat emboss.
- Add bows with rhinestones to each tier.
- Cover the exclamation point in the sentiment image with washi or masking tape. Ink stamp with VersaMark ink, then remove the tape. Flip a Daffodil Delight scalloped banner piece over and stamp sentiment (making sure to leave room for the number 2). Then emboss with silver powder.
- Ink surface of the “2” with VersaMark ink, add silver powder, and emboss. (You may have to do half of the number first, and then the other half so you have something to hold onto with a wooden skewer while heating.) Then add a second layer so the print of the paper doesn’t show through.
- Tie on the ribbon and attach to the front of the card with Dimensionals. Adhere the “2.”
- For the tag, punch a hole in the top for the ribbon.
- On the inside stamp the confetti image in VersaMark ink, add the Silver Emboss Powder, and heat emboss.
- Add the white square piece on the front with Dimensionals. Then add the bow and a rhinestone.
- Tie ribbon around your gift (mine is the beautiful Memories & More photo album), and add the tag.

Mar 19, 2019 | Blog Hops, Fun Folds, Gallery, Love & Wedding, Tips/Techniques/Tutorials |
Welcome to the March 2019 Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop! Follow along and check out all the other blogs in the hop (click on the names of other participants in the list below my signature) so you can see some fabulous cards and projects created by other demonstrators who also earned the Stampin’ Up!® Greek Isles incentive trip that will take place this July 2019. (I’m so excited! This is my dream trip come true!!) This month’s hop features 2019 Sale-a-Bration and Occasions Catalog products.
I’ve been playing around with pop out gate-fold cards lately (see what I shared March 8 and February 6). And I came up with one more that I think you’ll enjoy.
The belly band holds it shut. When you take off the band and open it up in the middle, the back panel pops forward to reveal to focal point of the design.
I loved the boldness of the Lovely Lipstick and the Flirty Flamingo colors together in the striped pattern of the All My Love Designer Paper and knew those colors would look yummy together as frosting on a cake. So I paired up the All My Love Designer Paper with images from the Piece of Cake Stamp Set to create this fun wedding (or anniversary) card.
Products I used… See below for a list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Whisper White Cardstock:
- 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and then at 2-3/4″ from each end
- Scrap for punching out 2″ Circle piece
- Scrap for stamping and punching out 1-1/4″ Circle piece
- Scrap for punching two 3/4″ Circles
- Flirty Flamingo Cardstock:
- Scrap for stamping and punching out 2″ Circle piece
- Scrap for stamping and punching out cake
- Lovely Lipstick Cardstock:
- Scrap for punching out Starburst piece
- Scrap for punching out 1-3/8″ Scallop Circle piece
- Silver Foil Sheets:
- Scrap for punching out Starburst piece
- Scrap for punching out cake plate piece
- 12″ x 1-1/8″ strip
- All My Love Designer Paper:
- Lovely Lipstick stripes on Flirty Flamingo pattern: 1″ x 12″
- Lovely Lipstick stripes on Flirty Flamingo pattern: Two pieces cut to 2-1/2″ x 4″
- Tiny pink and white hearts pattern: Two pieces cut to 2-1/2″ x 4″
Directions…
- After preparing all pieces above (cutting, scoring, stamping, punching, etc.), stamp inside message with Lovely Lipstick ink about 1″ from the top and centered.
- Adhere 2-1/2″ x 4″ designer paper layers to the outer inside flaps and the front of the card (the opposite side of the outer inside flaps).
- Fold 3/4″ Whisper White circles in half. Then open up the card.
- Use Glue Dots and attach half of one 3/4″ Circle to the right side of the middle fold so the score line of the circle is lined up with the score line of the middle of the card. Use Glue Dots and attach half of the other circle to the left side of the middle fold so the score line of the circle is lined up with the score line of the middle of the card. Then attach the Lovely Lipstick Starburst piece to the other halves of those circles using Glue Dots. Make sure it is centered.
- Add the Whisper White 2″ circle, the cake, and the cake plate. Then embellish with a few pearls.
- Attach the designer strip with SNAIL down the middle of the Silver Foil strip.
- Close the card and wrap the belly band around the card so the ends meet in the front middle. Secure with Glue Dots. Make sure the belly band can slip off and on the card easily but that it’s not too loose.
- Attach the Silver Foil Starburst piece using Dimensionals over the center of the belly band to hide the connection.
- Then ddd the Flirty Flamingo 2″ circle, the Lovely Lipstick 1-3/8″ scallop circle, and the 1-1/4″ Whisper White sentiment circle. Embellish with a couple pearls.

Feb 16, 2019 | Fun Folds, Gallery, Love & Wedding, Tips/Techniques/Tutorials, What's NEW!? |
The new Second Release Sale-a-Bration picks are now available! Yay! You have even more free options when you order $50+ worth of Stampin’ Up! product now through the end of March. Click here to see all the Level 1 freebies and here to see all the Level 2 freebies in my online store.
Today’s paper crafting project is this vertical Strip Fold Card that I made with the new Level 2 Painted Seasons Bundle (the stamp set and its coordinating designer paper). With this pack of paper you get twelve double-sided 12×12 sheets – three of four designs. So if you were mass producing this exact card from one pack, you could seriously make 36 of them!
It LOOKS like my succulent designer paper layer is 4″ x 5-1/4″ which in that case you could only make 18 of these cards. But the amount of designer paper I used is really only 4″ x 3″ per card.
Just as with my Strip Fold Cards that I shared on January 21st, I just used small strip of designer paper on the top and a small strip on the bottom portion of the card. The Strip Fold portion of the card that runs through the middle covers up the break in the paper. But unlike the diagonal rainbow-striped paper in my Jan. 21st card, this card involves less math. All I had to do is take a 4″ x 3″ portion of my paper, cut it in half, and adhere one up high and one down low on the base piece to make it appear as if it’s all one large layer.
I got fancy with inking up my succulent stamp image. First I inked it up with Lemon Lime Twist. Next I took my Call Me Clover Stampin’ Write marker and carefully drew on dark green ink between the leaves on the rubber of the stamp.
Then I remoistened the ink by “huffing” on the stamp. I stamped it down, cut it out, and then used my Petal Pink Stampin’ Write marker to add a touch of pink to the tips of the leaves.
Here are a few more details to help you out if you wish to recreate this card.
Measurements…
- Call Me Clover Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and 2-3/8″ x 8-1/2″
- Painted Seasons Designer Paper: Two pieces that are 1-1/2″ x 4″
- Whisper White Cardstock: 2-1/8″ x 4″… 2-1/4″ x 3/4″ and scraps for stamping and fussy-cutting or die-cutting the succulent images
- Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon: 9″
Product List
Other tips/details…
- Little leaves are stamped with Pool Party ink.
- Stamp “I love you” in the center of the 2-1/4″ x 3/4″ Whisper White strip, then trim the right side to make a notch.
- Position the flower where it will go to know where to adhere the sentiment strip.
- If you don’t want to fussy-cut the succulent stamp images, then you are in for a treat!… During the month of March, you’ll be able to purchase the coordinating Four Seasons Framelits die.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Do you remember the Mini Pinwheel Cards/Pouches that I shared two months ago, on December 15th? Well I finally finished the pink one (that I had shared at the end of the video) that I created with the Floral Romance Suite of products. And then of course I couldn’t stop and had to make another with the other pretty patterned paper from the Floral Romance Designer Paper. Here they are!
CLICK HERE to access that how-to video or watch it directly from my December 15th blog post. Watching it will allow you to know how to score, cut and fold this pinwheel. Then follow these measurements if you wish to recreate either of the two above.
Measurements for dark green pinwheel…
- Floral Romance Designer Series Paper (dark green/wood grain)
- Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/2” x 2-1/2”
- 1-1/2″ Circle for inside sentiment
- 1-1/2″ Circle for outside sentiment
- Scrap for stamping and punching vase
- Floral Romance Designer Series Paper (floral clusters vellum)
- Scrap for cutting out a small floral cluster
- 2-1/2” x 2-1/2”
Measurements for pink pinwheel…
- Floral Romance Designer Series Paper (pink/lt. green leaves)
- Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/2” x 2-1/2”
- 1″ Circle
- Fresh Fig Cardstock
- Petal Pink Cardstock
- Silver Baker’s Twine
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
I thought the floral clusters in the designer vellum needed a vase to sit in. So I also brought in the Vibrant Vases stamp set.
And then I closed the card, added one Dimensional on one of the flaps towards the middle and positioned the vase layer right smack-dab in the center.
Here is that card/pouch open.
The floral background paper is actually the vellum from the Floral Romance Designer Paper pack that is just layered onto Whisper White Cardstock. The adhesive to hold the vellum in place is positioned under the circle.
Here is what it looks like on the back when open.
This is the other one – the pink one that I had quite finished yet when my how-to video was recorded.
I didn’t get too elaborate, but I love that I now have this message on the inside. And it’s ready to give to someone special.

Feb 11, 2019 | Big Shot, Gallery, Love & Wedding, Tips/Techniques/Tutorials, What's NEW!? |
You may just need to add this 2nd Release Sale-a-Bration pick to the top of your wish list. The Country Floral Embossing Folder is currently available to Stampin’ Up! demonstrators during our preorder period. But it will be made available to everyone come February 15th. Yay!
Look at what this amazing Dynamics Textured Impressions Embossing Folder does to cardstock!
Here is one of my simple card designs I made just a couple days ago with this folder, the new Story Label punch (available March 1st), the Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheets, the Dandelion Wishes stamp set, and the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits dies. (See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.)
Here are the details for creating one of these cards…
Measurements:
- Shimmery White Cardstock:
- 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base
- 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment
- Merry Merlot Cardstock:
- Scraps for die-cutting the butterfly
- Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheet:
- Scraps for die-cutting the butterfly
- Scraps for punching two Story Label shapes
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions:
- Die-cut the butterflies from the Merry Merlot Cardstock and Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheet scraps. The butterflies are die-cut from the largest two layering dies in this set. You can either die-cut all of the 5 butterflies at once or die-cut just one using smaller scraps.
- Glue butterflies together in the middle with Fine Tip Glue. Set aside to dry.
- Emboss the 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Shimmery White Cardstock and adhere to card base using Dimensionals. One in each corner only will allow your card to be less bulky if mailing it.
- Stamp sentiment on Shimmery White scrap. Punch with Story Label Punch. Adhere to Grapefruit Grove punched pieces so that the top edge of one and the bottom edge of the other are peeking out the from the white sentiment piece. Add to the front of the card with Dimensionals.
- Attach layered butterfly to the card front with Fine Tip Glue. And allow to dry.
