I’ve been in need of sympathy cards for friends and family members who have lost their cats lately. It’s so sad to lose loved ones. Pets have such a special place in our hearts.
So I started creating a few days ago and came up with a layout that is simple and sweet using a silhouette of a cat. I feel that using a black silhouette and refraining from using the more detailed cat stamp image is best for a sympathy card, because one can imagine their own cat within that shape. Plus I feel like the silhouette sort of symbolizes a feline friend that has passed on.
Rather than writing out all the details & directions for this card design, I shared that information in this Facebook Live broadcast. Then I uploaded the recorded version of this video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the measurements and products list below (for the card I demonstrated), scroll through the close-up photos of all three versions of this card, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed this video! Here are the measurements you’ll need if you plan to recreate the card I demonstrated.

8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 4-1/4” and folded in half

I needed to make a bunch of Springtime birthday cards and realized I had a TON of this beautiful Garden Impressions 6×6 designer paper on hand. So I started cutting into it and came up with 3 designs that I’m excited to share with you today.
The designer paper includes colors from the 2018-20 In Color Collection, so I was able to match the ribbons on all three layouts.
Products I used… See below for a list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Base Color Cardstock:
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base
Garden Impressions Designer Paper:
3″ (or 2-1/2″ on the blue card to accommodate the larger tag) x 5-1/2″
2-3/4″ x 1/2″
Whisper White Cardstock:
2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″
Sparkle Glimmer Paper:
5-1/2″ x 1/2″
2-3/4″ x 1/2″
Ribbon:
7″
Directions…
Adhere designer paper to glimmer paper using Glue Dots so that the glimmer paper shows just slightly. Then use SNAIL Adhesive to add the larger designer paper/glimmer paper combo to the front of the card and the smaller designer paper/glimmer paper combo to the 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ Whisper White Cardstock.
Attach the Whisper White layer to the inside of the card.
Stamp the sentiments: on the Whisper White layer inside and on the tag.
Insert the brad and add the tag to the front of the card using Dimensionals.
Tie a small bow and add it to the front of the card over the tag using a Glue Dot.
Then add sequins. (The Gingham Gala Sequins are adhesive-backed, but the Iridescent are not. So those would need to be added with Fine Tip Glue.)
I used the larger tag for this blue card, so I made the designer paper on the front a little narrower. I think this one is my favorite.
This was the first card I made, and then I got smart and used the adhesive backed sequins for most of my other cards. But I have to say that the colors in the Iridescent Sequins coordinate better with the paper.
I glued a sequin onto the brad, too. Hahaha!
These tags are so fun, but they come with pins that I didn’t use. So now I need to come up with a plan for those. 😉
Which one was YOUR favorite?

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.
I love fun fold cards! I hope I inspired your creativity and you enjoyed what I shared. Have fun on the hop!

I have another unique card to share with you! It’s a basic fun-fold inspired by the traditional Origami Square Base. It’s like an explosion card but without an extra layer of cardstock to encase it. Instead I use a belly band to hold it shut. The Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set and the Petal Promenade Designer Paper really bring it all together for a fun and stunning birthday card that’s sure to make anyone feel special.
Rather than writing out all the details & directions to make this fun-fold, I shared that information in this Facebook Live broadcast. Then I uploaded the recorded version of this video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the measurements and full products list below, scroll through the close-up photos of what I created, and then let me know if you have any questions.
By the way…I spent a bit of time at the beginning talking about the struggles of trying to broadcast when it was originally scheduled. Just scroll forward to skip that if you don’t to listen to me jabber. I also said it was Friday, March 14th that I recorded this, but it was Friday, March 15th…oops! And if you were wondering what kind of envelope to use, these cards will fit into our Medium Whisper White Envelopes,
Here are the measurements you’ll need if you plan to recreate this card.
Measurements…
Whisper White Cardstock
8-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4-1/4”…in the opposite direction at 4-1/4”…and then diagonally corner to corner (just once)
Scraps for stamping and punching 2” Circles
Petal Promenade Designer Paper
4” x 4”
Two more 4” x 4” pieces also cut diagonally corner to corner
Blushing Bride (or Soft Sea Foam) Cardstock
¾” x 4-1/4”
Scrap for stamping & punching small balloon
Scrap for punching a set of leaves
Melon Mambo (or Blackberry Bliss) Cardstock
1” x 11”
Scrap for punching large balloon
Scrap for punching 2-1/4” Circle
Scrap for punching a set of leaves
Here are close-up photos of the Ori Base Fold Cards I shared in the video.

My boys have a vacation from school March 8-17. So to start off their Spring Break, I brought them 4 hours up north to my parents’ place. Isn’t this view of the frozen lake from their living room amazing?!
We left for the lake Thursday and are heading back home this evening. But we’ve had a wonderful time: waffles with whipped cream and berries,…
…trips into town for snacks, sleeping in the bunk bed room, watching movies, and of course outdoor fun! I know many of us in Minnesota are getting tired of the incredible amounts of snow we’ve gotten this year. (I feel sorry for those that don’t own a snow blower.) But my boys and I have loved all the sledding we’ve been able to do. And we we were in heaven at the cabin because the snow banks were high, the temps were super comfortable, and the long steep hill (their driveway in) was perfect!
My brother and his family were also up at the cabin. 4-1/2″ year-old cousin Yvette is always a ton of giggles and fun. And she “worships” her older cousins who adore her greatly.
The project I have to share with you today is the perfect cabin/lake card. I created it with the Best Catch Stamp Set, Catch of the Day Thinlits, and the Country Floral Embossing Folder (a free Sale-a-Bration Level one pick). I didn’t even intend for it to end up this way. I was going to use the floral embossed background to create an all floral card. But then my already colored-in fisherman fell on top of the Mint Macaron section while I was moving things around in my work space, and it looked like he was fly fishing on a misty morning! I added the fish and the “water droplets” above, and the rest of the layers came easily. I really love how it turned out.
Measurements…
Mint Macaron Cardstock:
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base
Soft Suede Cardstock:
Two pieces that are 4-7/8″ x 3-5/8″
Scrap for punching out 2″ Circle piece
Delightfully Detailed Mint Macaron Note Card Front:
4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″
Whisper White Cardstock:
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting fisherman and fish pieces
4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″
Scrap for punching out 1-3/4″ Circle piece
Products I Used… See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions…
Emboss the Delightfully Detailed Mint Macaron Note Card piece. Then lightly sand it with sandpaper to expose the white core on a few of the raised floral areas.
Stamp the sentiment, then punch it out with the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch so the words are far off to the left. Attach this piece to the Soft Suede 2″ Circle. Then attach this to the embossed layer, and trim off the excess.
Add the Soft Suede 4-7/8″ x 3-5/8″ layers on the front and inside. Add the embossed layer to the front of the card.
Stamp the fly on the 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ Whisper White. Stamp the fish and the fisherman onto the Whisper White scraps. Use Blends to color in the images.
Die cut the fisherman and the fish.
Add the 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ Whisper White to the inside of the card.
Add the fisherman and the fish (on Dimensionals) to the front of the card.
Embellish with Clear Epoxy Droplets.
Thanks for stopping by today! I wish you a wonderful week ahead. I know my boys will be enjoying theirs!

Directions…
After scoring and folding Basic Black card base into a W-shape, adhere the 2-1/2″ x 4″ designer paper pieces to the front and back with SNAIL.
Stamp “Happy Birthday” on the right side of one 2-1/2″ x 3/4″ Whisper White piece. Attach both 2-1/2″ x 3/4″ white pieces to the inside of the card so they are going across the middle of each designer paper piece. Add Glitter Enamel Dots.
Stamp the sentiment image onto the Whisper White scrap. Then die-cut it with the coordinating die.
Die-cut the jar from the designer paper. Punch the 2-1/4″ Basic Black circle. And punch the two 3/4″ Whisper White circles and fold them in half.
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 even 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 even with the score line of the middle of the card. Then attach the die-cut jar piece to the other halves of those circles using Glue Dots.
Attach the designer strip with SNAIL down the middle of the Whisper White strip. To create a belly band, wrap strip around the closed card and connect ends with SNAIL in the middle/front.
Attach the Pearlized Doily over the middle area of the belly band. Attach the 2-1/4″ Basic Black circle to the center of the doily. Use Dimensionals to add the sentiment on the black circle. Then add a couple Glitter Enamel Dots.
And here is the second one. By the way, both cards are made from the exact same set of products. So if you get (or have) everything in the products list below, you can make BOTH of these.
