My Stampers With Art group had some fun with another sketch challenge recently. Have you seen those card (and page) sketches out there? They are just too fun. You get a visual idea of what your creation should become, but you then use the products you have on hand to make it come alive. Here is the sketch challenge we used this time: Sunday Stamps Challenge #202. The last one my group took part in was shared was on May 25.)
And here are some of the cards we came up with. I hope these ideas provide some creative inspiration for you! Those that made each card are mentioned in the watermarks of the photos. A big thank you to all of the creators! The two I made are at the bottom along with my measurements, tips and supply list.
Here are the two I made with the Playful Pets Designer Paper and some coordinating products. If you would like to recreate these cards, here are some details below.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Base cardstock (Real Red or Basic Black)
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short edge at 5-1/2″
Cardstock panels (Basic Black or Real Red)
Three pieces that are 1-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
Silver Foil Sheets
Three pieces that are 1-1/8″ x 3-1/8″
Focal point cardstock (Basic Black or Real Red)
Scrap for punching shape under the pet
Playful Pets Designer Paper
Three pieces that are 1″ x 3″
Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
6″
Directions…
Emboss front of base cardstock with Subtles Embossing Folder.
Punch focal point cardstock. I punched the one under the doggy with the smooth heart from the Heart Punch Pack, and I punched the one under the kitty with the Tailored Tag Punch.
Fussy cut the animal. If you have the matching die set (Pets Dies), you can die-cut this kitty.
Layer the designer paper pieces onto the Silver Foil Sheet pieces. Then layer these onto the cardstock panel pieces. Start with the top piece and attach these layered panels to the base cardstock using Seal+ Adhesive.
Apply Seal+ to the bottom right portion of the middle panel and the top right portion of the bottom panel – where the middle of the folded ribbon will sit. Then attach the folded ribbon diagonally.
Attach the punched shape with Dimensionals. Then attach the cut out animal.
I hope this sketch challenge inspired you to try this layout with your own products.

These tutorials are designed by twelve Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world. They are exclusive to those who earn them or purchase them.

Here are peeks of the fantastic projects in our July bundle focusing on the Peony Garden Suite. (Click here to find information for how to get your hands on this month’s compilation.)
And here is a larger peek of the project tutorial I contributed. It’s a fun fold card.
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 Peony Garden 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 links and follow the hop.)
My project idea that I’m sharing today is a Center Step fun-fold card. I shared how to make a vertical/portrait version of this fold with my Box of Sunshine Paper Pumpkin kit on June 20th. And today I’m sharing how to make a horizontal/landscape version with several products from this beautiful Peony Garden Suite: Prized Peony Stamp Set, Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder, Elegant Faceted Gems, and Square Vellum Doilies.
The directions are best explained in a video. So I shared the details during my latest Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook this past Wednesday (yesterday). I uploaded the recording of this class onto my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook) and shared it 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), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for the cards I demonstrated and shared.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Night of Navy Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored according to the directions in the video
Whisper White Cardstock
3-1/8” x 3-5/8” (two pieces)
Granny Apple Green Cardstock
3-1/4” x 3-3/4” (two pieces)
Scrap for punching 1-1/2” Circle
Silver Foil Sheets
¾” x 3” (two pieces)
Here is the one I demonstrated. This embossing folder is so amazing! Right? And I love the look of the Elegant Faceted Gems on these cards. This first one includes the clear gems.
This second one includes the pink gems with a flower colored in with the Petal Pink and Calypso Coral Blends Markers.
Isn’t the Champagne Foil amazing?
And then I used the Flirty Flamingo Blends and white gems on this last one.
I’l love to hear which color combo is YOUR favorite.
I hope you enjoyed this fun fold card idea and are now inspired to give it a go!

#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! 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 June 2020 Box of SunshinePaper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
Here is a photo of the intended projects from this month’s kit: 8 full-size cards (5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″) and a sheet of stickers for decorating and gifting the box.
I’ve already shared a few other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on June 20th.
Three Magnetic Bookmarks
A Vertical Center Step Card
A 12×12 Scrapbook Page Layout
And Three Gift Boxes (one made from a card base from the kit)
Today I have three greeting cards ALL made from one beautiful reddish/yellowish card base from the kit, Whisper White Cardstock, Basic Black Cardstock, images from the kit’s stamp set paired with images from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set, Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and Gold Foil Sheets.
Products I used for these cards… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
This first one used three strips of that beautiful card base along with the non-printed half (for the inside of the card).
Measurements…
Basic Black Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4″ and folded in half
Reddish/yellowish card base from the kit
4″ x 5-1/4″ from the white half for the layer inside the card
1-3/16″ x 5-1/2″ section cut into the following strips
5/16″ x 5-1/2″
3/8″ x 5-1/2″
1/2″ x 5-1/2″
Tips…
Stamp and emboss the flowers so the bottom of the image is about 1-3/4″ from the bottom of the card front.
After embossing the sentiment piece and the sentiment on the inside white layer, assemble the card starting with the colorful strips first (adding top to bottom and flipping the middle one the opposite way). The outside sentiment piece was added with Mini Dimensionals from the kit.
Finish up by accenting with sequins.
This second one used three more pieces of that beautiful card base.
Measurements…
Whisper White Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4″ and folded in half
Scrap for stamping, embossing, and fussy-cutting the sunshine sentiment piece
Basic Black Cardstock
4″ x 5-1/4″
Gold Foil Sheet
Three pieces that are 1-3/8″ x 3-1/8″
Reddish/yellowish card base from the kit
Three pieces that are 1-1/4″ x 3″ (all cut from one area that measured 3-3/4″ x 3″)
Tips…
Stamp and emboss the sun and sentiment. Fussy-cut.
Then assemble the card. The layered panels and the sun are all added with Mini Dimensionals from the kit.
Finish up by accenting with sequins.
This last one (my favorite!) used the left over scrap from that beautiful card base.
Measurements…
Whisper White Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2″ and folded in half
Scrap for stamping, embossing, and cutting around the sentiment piece (mine is just under 1/2″ x just under 1″)
Reddish/yellowish card base from the kit
Scrap left over from the other two cards for stamping and embossing a full flower and a portion of a flower.
Tips…
Stamp and emboss the one full flower and then a portion of one more to get the center and a couple extra petals.
Stamp and emboss the front sentiment onto the scrap of Whisper White.
Stamp and emboss the inside sentiment.
Trim up three sets of leaves
Trim up the flowers and the sentiment piece.
Curl some of the leaves and petals with a Bone Folder.
Use Mini Dimensionals and Glue Dots from the kit to layer and add the flower in the lower left corner of the card front. Trim any leaves that protrude beyond the edge of the card.
Finish up by accenting with sequins.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

Follow along and check out all the other blogs in the hop (click on the names of the 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!® Maui incentive trip rescheduled to now take place in July of 2021. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
There are five new colors that just debuted in the 2020-21 Annual Catalog: Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, and Misty Moonlight.
I wanted each member of my Stampers With ART Community to receive supplies to make a card featuring one of these new colors. So I used the new Flowers for Every Season Designer Paper and some coordinating products, prepared 150 packets, and sent them off in the mail.
Then during our recent online team event, I shared with them how to make the following fun fold cards as one of their team make-n-take projects.
(Ignore the fact that the Magenta Madness card doesn’t have enamel dots. I ran out after sending all those supplies to my team members. LOL)
Then cut the 1″ x 6″ strips to make them fit in the inside left side of the card. I cut 1-3/4″ from the top of the 2020-22 In Color Designer Paper strip and just under 2-3/4″ from the bottom of the Flowers For Every Season Designer Paper strip. These I placed in the middle section. Then I placed the remaining strips below and above so that they were not interfering with folding the card. And I trimmed off any excess.
Each team member used their own stamp set for the sentiment of their card. The stamp sets I used for my samples are in the product list below.
Here are a couple more versions of this card done in the other two In Colors.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today. Have fun on the hop! And have a blast seeing all those inspiring ideas made by fellow trip achievers!

MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS We are looking for more to join our online Paper Crafters club. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of 6 consecutive months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
ORNATE GARDEN MEGA TUTORIAL BUNDLE I took part in a mega tutorial bundle group where everyone involved contributed a project tutorial using products in the newly released Ornate Garden Suite. Each project includes instructions, photos, imperial and metric measurements, and complete product lists. Click here to learn how you can get this entire bundle of 90 great ideas.
The June 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit titled Box of Sunshine is amazing! The design of this kit was inspired by Sara Douglass, the CEO of Stampin’ Up!® and is all about “sharing sunshine” with others.
This fantastic, all-inclusive, monthly subscription kit contained the supplies shown below to make 8 full-size cards (5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″) and a sheet of stickers for decorating and gifting the box.
Once you’ve made all the cards, fill the box with yellow goodies and gift it so someone to brighten their life with a little sunshine!
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:
Three Magnetic Bookmarks
A Vertical Center Step Card
A 12×12 Scrapbook Page Layout
And Three Gift Boxes (one made from a card base)

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 on June 25th.
Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble the cards as intended.)
