I was absolutely in love with a couple cards I saw shared recently by fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Jay Soriano. So I of course had to share what I learned with all of you! It’s an amazing yet simple technique for creating color-popping images. The trick is to stamp images containing shading/depth onto white cardstock with black ink and then color them in using bright markers that range from light to dark. Adding color just outside the images and mounting onto dark cardstock enhances the color-popping even more.
The images in the Timeless Tulips stamp set are perfect for this. These images were intended to be stamped with colored ink, but when stamped in black and colored in…WOW! Click here to see the cards demonstrated by Jay at Mitosucrafts.com.
I shared my version of Jay’s card using the outgoing 2018-20 In Colors in my latest Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook this past Wednesday. Then I also uploaded a slightly smoother recording of this class onto my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook) which I uploaded here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, 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, more close-up photos, and a product list for the cards I demonstrated/shared.

My card that I’m sharing today uses almost a full sheet of the 6×6 designer paper.
I actually came up with this card layout and named it the 3-Panel Scenery Z-Fold when I wanted to show off the full design of the Feels Like Frost Designer Paper that debuted in the 2019 Holiday Catalog. But it works great with any designer paper as you can see.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Add the die-cut image so it is peeking out from behind the heart.
Then add Champagne Rhinestones.

I created a couple spring/Easter cards using circle punches, daisy punches, and images from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set. Each card uses pretty much the same stamped, cut and punched pieces. And the cards below are the suggested ways I gave members of my Stampers With ART Community for putting their pieces together as make-n-takes during our last Zoom Team Gathering.
Isn’t that bunny from a daisy punch idea adorable?! Fellow demonstrator, Lisa Marshall shared this fun punch art idea with me. Don’t have the supplies to make this card, but want to? Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Below are the details for recreating these cards.
PDF Tutorial…Click here to access and download a direction sheet for these two cards.
Measurements…
Blueberry Bushel Cardstock: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
Whisper White Cardstock: 1” x 3-1/2”…and scraps for punching Daisy, Medium Daisy, and circle punches
Soft Sea Foam Cardstock: 2-3/4” x 3-1/2”…3-7/8” x 3-1/2”…and scrap for stamping and fussy-cutting tulips
Granny Apple Green Cardstock: Scrap for punching Sprig
Directions…
Stamp tulips with Granny Apple Green ink onto Soft Sea Foam scrap. Cut them out. Stamp sentiment with Blueberry Bushel ink onto Whisper White 1” x 3-1/2” strip.
Emboss front of Blueberry Bushel card base. Then add the 1” x 3-1/2” Whisper White strip and the 2-3/4” x 3-1/2” Soft Sea Foam piece to the front of the card. (Tuck in tulips if you wish to create the daisy version of this card.)
Punch circles, daisies and sprig. Trim where necessary – sprig could be cut in half and petals can be cut off daisies to create bunny heads.
Add the inside 3-7/8” x 3-1/2” Soft Sea Foam layer. Assemble and attach punched pieces. (Curl petals of daisies with Bone Folder if choosing to make card on left.) Add pearls to embellish.

This is what it unfolds to look like open…
Measurements…

Cut one light blue designer paper diagonally from upper right to lower left. Add to the diagonal sections that appear behind the front panels when the card is closed. Stamp sentiment on other light blue piece of designer paper, and add to the inside middle area of the card base.
Attach the flower bunch to the inside. Close the card and attach the umbrella layered piece with Dimensionals so it’s just attached to the left section. The umbrella will rotate a bit as the card opens and closes. So keep that in mind.
And here is the one made with the Lily Impressions paper. This is what that one looks like closed…
This is what it unfolds to look like open…
Measurements

I also have a video where I shared step-by-step how to make this type of fun-fold card. So if you’d like to watch that, click here. In the video I mention that I should rework the measurements so that this card can fit into an A4 size envelope. But guess what?…Though these measurements were made for letter size envelopes, with a straight conversion to metric (if you wish) this card WILL fit into an A4 size envelope, too! Yay! So those of you outside the US, no need to make anything narrower or taller.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today. Have fun on the hop! And enjoy seeing all those inspiring ideas made by fellow trip achievers!
