It was fun to be back in my routine doing another Online Paper Crafting Class via Facebook Live this past Wednesday. I was super excited to share an updated version of my Dragonfly Closure Card that I featured back on April 6, 2018. So I used current products this time: the Butterfly Beauty Dies, the Perennial Essence Designer Paper and Vellum Cardstock, and the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and shared how to adapt that same technique to this wider butterfly die that is available now. Making the front of the card a bit narrower than the base is the trick! See how the wings extend beyond?
I then uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live 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 products list below, scroll through the close-up photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
OH! I also shared peeks of some new 2019 Holiday Catalog products debuting on September 4 that I received on Stampin’ Up!’s Greek Isles Incentive Trip. So you’ll want to view this video just for that reason alone.
I hope you enjoyed the card I made in this video! And I hope you enjoyed seeing all the product peeks. Below are measurements and close-up photos.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Basic Black Cardstock
3” x 4” scrap for die-cutting butterfly
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 4-1/4” and folded in half for card base…a 1/2” by 4-1/4” section is then removed from both the right and left of the card front so the front flap is 4-1/2” x 4-1/4”
Perennial Essence Designer Paper
4” x 3-1/8”
5-1/4” x 4”
Perennial Essence Vellum Cardstock
3” x 4” scrap of pink for die-cutting butterfly
Scrap of green for punching a leaf
Vellum Cardstock
Scrap for punching a leaf
Below are photos of two Dragonfly Closure Cards I made and shared back on April 6, 2018. The wing span isn’t as wide, so the front of the card doesn’t have to be altered to bring the Classic Label Punch slot in further as in the card with the butterfly above.

NEW CLUB FORMING SOON! Do you find that you order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product each month? Do you want to get perks for those monthly orders?

This year two all-inclusive favorites have returned: Lots of Happy and Notes of Kindness. Click here to see how I doubled the amount of cards in the Lots of Happy kit by adding Basic Black Cardstock. And click here to see how I turned the cards in the Notes of Kindness kit into birthday cards.
Like the other all-inclusive kits, everything you need is included: all the consumables, the stamps, a mini ink pad, a clear block for mounting and using your stamps, adhesives, and a directions sheet. I altered the intended cards just a little bit by using some of the extra supplies. Yep! This kit includes lots of extras so you can either add in extra card base pieces & envelopes to make additional cards OR use the extras to give your cards a little more 3-D effect…which is what I did.
The Looking Up kit makes 15 cards (3 of 5 kinds) and comes with fun coordinating envelopes. I love this kit because in includes a variety of sentiments, it’s easy to put together, AND the cards aren’t feminine. So you can make these cards for the guys (and kids!) in your life.
Watch this video by Stampin’ Up! first to see how to make the cards as intended. Then scroll down to see my variations.
I altered the hot air balloon card by attaching the extra balloon die-cuts with Dimensionals over the ones pre-printed on the card. I stamped some birds in the sky. And I added an extra copper metallic border sticker.
I altered the airplane card by attaching the extra airplane die-cut with Dimensionals slightly off center of the pre-printed one on the card to give it a shadow effect and give it an illusion of movement. I stamped some birds in the sky. And I added an extra copper metallic border sticker.
I altered the rain drops card by attaching the extra rain drops die-cuts with Glue Dots onto the sentiment layer. I also added copper metallic leaves from the extra sticker to the inside edges of the card.
I altered the palm tree card by attaching the extra palm tree die-cuts with Dimensionals. I also shifted the sentiment so it was centered and added an extra copper metallic border sticker on top of the first one to make it stronger and more solid in appearance.
And I altered the city sky line card by attaching the extra small tree die-cuts on the inside of the card – one with Glue Dots and one with Dimensionals. I also added two small diamond copper metallic stickers (left overs from one of the border stickers) on the sentiment piece to “anchor” the ends and give that layer a more finished look.
Did you notice those envelopes!?!! SO adorable how they all coordinate, right?
I hope I gave you a great peek into this new kit and gave you some ideas for making the cards a little more elaborate.
One more thing I want to point out is that you don’t have to use all the sentiments. So if you are needing 15 birthday cards, use the Happy Birthday stamp on ALL of them! The sentiments are all about the same size and can work on every label piece.

I’m having fun with the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper. Today I’m sharing the birthday cards I made for my Stampers With ART team members that have July birthdays.
Measurements…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
7” x 5” scored at 3-1/2″ and folded in half (OR…just use a pre-cut and scored Whisper White Note Card)
Scraps for stamping and punching the Classic Label sentiment pieces
Bermuda Bay Cardstock
2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
Coastal Cabana Cardstock
2-3/8″ x 3-3/8″
Scrap for punching out the Starburst Circle
Cajun Craze Cardstock
Scrap for punching out the Starburst Circle
Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper
Scrap for punching out the 2″ Circle
Noble Peacock Foil
Scrap for die-cutting the “Happy”
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions…
Stamp “Wishes” onto Coastal Cabana scrap with Bermuda Bay ink.
Stamp the Cajun Craze sentiments on the scrap white cardstock and punch with Classic Label Punch. “Sending You” should be left justified. “Birthday” should be right justified.
Attach the punched out “Birthday” next to “wishes”.
Punch out the Coastal Cabana Starburst Circle to include both the “Birthday” & “wishes”.
Punch out the 2″ designer paper piece and the Cajun Craze Starburst Circle.
Die-cut the word “Happy.”
Attach “sending you” to the top right of the 2-3/8″ x 3-3/8″ Coastal Cabana cardstock. Trim off excess.
Attach Cajun Craze starburst shape to the bottom left. Trim off excess.
Attach Noble Peacock circle to the Cajun Craze starburst. Trim off excess.
Add rhinestone or sequin to the center.
Add “Happy” die-cut by sponging on the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back side. If you have the Silicone Craft Sheet underneath, it protects your work surface. AND you can later remove the dried glue with packing tape! 😊
Add this Coastal Cabana layer to the Bermuda Bay layer, then add this to the front of your card using Dimensionals.
You’ll notice that one has a sequin in the center of the circle. And the other has a rhinestone. I intended on having rhinestones on all of my team cards, but I ran out when making the tri-panel cards I shared yesterday. Hahaha! Obviously this is one of my favorite new products. I ended up ordering more after making these cards.
My sister and I and having a fabulous time in Europe! I’m trying to compile a few pictures to share with you soon.

One of THE most gorgeous suites in this year’s annual catalog is the Noble Peacock Suite. You’ll find it on pages 24-26 of the 2019-20 Annual Catalog or by clicking HERE to see it in the Online Store. Below is a quick video put out by Stampin’ Up!® featuring the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper which is what I used on my tri-panel card that I’m sharing with you today.
I actually made a couple versions of this card. One of them includes sentiments from the coordinating stamp set, Royal Peacock. And the other has sentiments from the Well Said Stamp Set because I wanted to turn it into a birthday card.
This tri-panel card shows off the beautiful foiled designer paper and is such a visually appealing layout.
It’s easy to apply this design in other cards that you make. You can vary the size of the panels, too. Click here and here to see a couple other tri-panel cards I’ve shared in recent posts. The above card was stamped with a sentiment from the Royal Peacock set in Gorgeous Grape ink. The one below was stamped with a sentiment from the Well Said set in Melon Mambo ink.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements per card…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4-1/4″ and folded in half for the card base
Old Olive Cardstock
1-3/8″ x 2-1/8″
Pretty Peacock Cardstock
1-3/8″ x 2-1/8″
Blueberry Bushel Cardstock
1-3/8″ x 2-1/8″
Noble Peacock Designer Paper
1-1/4″ x 2″ of each of the three patterns
Directions/Tips…
I made several of these cards – one for each of the members of my Online Paper Crafters Clubs and ten more for some achieving demonstrators in my Stampers With ART group. My assistant, Vicki Spicer helped me to work on these cards. So I gave her this template which we both thought worked quite well. The template (that I cut from scrap cardstock) measures 4″ x 5-1/4″ with an opening that measures 2-1/8″ x 4-1/2″ cut from the center about 3/4″ from the top and 3/8″ in from each side.
Vicki placed it on the front of the card, attached the two side panels. And then centered and added the middle one. (She actually found it easier to remove the template before attaching the middle one.)
I ran out of the multicolored Noble Peacock Rhinestones before finishing. So I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends markers and colored some of my Basics Rhinestones.
By the way the designer paper is attached to the coordinating cardstock with Dimensionals to create depth and shadow.
I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today.

There is a fun box that is part of our Stampin’ Anonymous Tutorials for the month of June. I’m not sharing the actual box, but the one I made to share today is similar and a simple version – a “teaser project.” 😉
Lately each of us in our Stampin’ Anonymous group have been featuring a “teaser project” of one of the tutorial projects at the start of the month in a Facebook Live broadcast. But I left for the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip yesterday (YAY!), and my teaser project obviously couldn’t wait until my next live on the 17th after I get back from Europe since it’s a 4th of July treat box.
I made these boxes for my two boys to open tomorrow since I won’t be spending Independence Day with them.
Here are the measurements & directions if you wish to make one (or a few) yourself.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/4” (scored & cut according to the directions below)
Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment
See A Silhouette Designer Paper (red or blue wash design)
2″ x 8-3/4″
Silver Metallic-edge Ribbon
19″
Silver Glimmer Paper
Scraps for punching stars
Directions…
Score Whisper White parallel to the long side 1″ in from the left and the right. Rotate and score parallel to the short edge at 2-3/4″, 3-3/4″, 6-1/2″ and 7-1/2″.
Using the image below as a guide trim on the solid lines, and fold on the dotted.
Place Tear & Tape adhesive where shown in the image below, and fold into a box.
Adhere and wrap the designer paper around the box. Trim off any excess. I had a little less than 3-1/2″ as excess (as you can see in the photo), but that’s because I started with a 2″ x 12″ piece (not a 2″ x 8-3/4″ piece as I suggested in the measurements above).
Stamp “celebrate” on the Whisper White scrap. Mask the word with washi or masking tape before inking. Then remember to remove the tape before stamping.
Punch out the “celebrate” with the Classic Label Punch. Then stamp the full sentiment image on the inside cover of the box.
Punch some Silver Glimmer Paper stars.
Add the stars using Glue Dots to the outside and inside cover of the box.
Add the punched celebrate with Mini Dimensionals as shown below being careful to just put the Mini Dimensionals under the word (under the middle area and under the right). This way the ribbon can be removed easily.
Fill with treats, tuck in the triangular tabs, fold down the flap, and tie shut with the ribbon.
Fourth of July is a holiday we love to celebrate together with my side of the family. We usually spend it at the lake with my parents, my sister’s family and my brother’s family. If I was anywhere else, I’d be bummed to not be sharing it with all of them tomorrow. But I think vacationing in Europe is a great reason for my sister and I to miss it this year.
