Harvest Meadow Fun Fold cards kit to go

Today I'm sharing one of my September cards kit with you. I actually have two and will share the other one tomorrow. 

This kit includes 10 pre-cut cards (2 each of 5 cards), 1/2 pkg. Nature's Harvest designer paper (6" X 12"), Metallic adhesive gems & Linen Thread.  It's a fabulous value as the product is worth $20 (without tax & shipping) and the cost is just $28 and the tutorial is free! The PDF tutorial includes photos, step by step directions, measurements to make more and a supplies list. 

8 of these 10 cards are fancy folds and with the tutorial you'll have measurements to make more using other products.  

You will need your own stamps, ink, adhesive and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper using the measurements provided in the tutorial.  Everything else is cut & prepped for you. 

*I make sure to use only greetings in my kits to go so you can substitute what you already own.  I used Sunny Sentiments, Biggest Wishes, Create with Friends sets here.  *Inks are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Bumblebee, Calypso Coral, Soft Succulent & Versamark. 

*Be sure to order by September 19th to get this kit!  

This PDF tutorial will be sent to you via email immediately after payment. The kit is mailed out at the end of September, barring any back-orders. 

Go here to order the pre-cut kit to go. $28 (See the 2nd September kit option here. Choose both kits here!)

Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!

On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper.  *Follow me on Facebook here. 

Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP. 

As you can see, it's not a Christmas card.  This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.  

The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here.  This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

See that cute penguin?  It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!  

DSP Explosion card

• Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, scored at 2 1/8” from each side
• White inside square 2 ½”, Balmy Blue layer 2 ¾”
• DSP 4” X 8” score at 2”, 4” & 6”, then in two ‘X’s’ from midpoint score to the outside corners
• Belly Band 1 ½” X 9”

Here's the video; I actually show three unique fun fold cards!

3 great ideas with the Peaceful Prints Designer Paper

Have you seen the Peaceful Prints designer paper?  It's in our Sale-a-Bration catalog and is free with any $50 order through September. Click here to see it. 

This photo does not do it justice!  The colors are rich & vibrant - Black, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Garden Green & Sahara Sand.  

Our August Team swap featured all Sale-a-Bration products.  I sure love sharing what my Flowerbug's made!  These three cards all feature this fabulous designer paper. 

Candy made this first card with the Peaceful Deer bundle. It coordinates with this free designer paper too!  

She did stamp the image in the set using Red ink and punched it out. Then she added the Soft Suede antlers and a Red rhinestone. 

Lots of details on this card:

• Stitched Whimsy dies
• Stitched Rectangle dies
• Merry Melody 3D embossing folder
• Colors are Real Red, Crumb Cake & Garden Green with White 

Marilyn made this next card with one of my latest fun folds shared on FB Live.  It's called a Faux Pocket card. You can see the video for this fold here. 

She used the Layering Circle dies and the Stitched Rectangle dies for her main pieces.  The deer on the circle is cut from the actual designer paper. The greeting is from the Time of Giving stamp set and is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Black CS. 

This card fold might look complicated but it sure isn't!  Again, click here to see the video. 

Next is Annette's card featuring Garden Green, Black & White

Her greeting is from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set.  It's on an Everyday Label punch.  She punched a second piece in Black and cut it in half vertically to layer on the White one. Simple & beautiful!

Summer Shadow dies & Shaded Summer; a beautiful pairing!

I'm sharing our Flowerbug Team swaps featuring Sale-a-Bration choices. This amazing card was  created by Paula. 

She used the Summer Shadow dies seen here along with the Shaded Summer stamp set. This stamp set is in the Annual Catalog on page 75 and the dies are a free choice during SAB/Sale-a-Bration. However remember that these dies are expected to sell out before the end of September when SAB ends.  See them here. 

This is also a fun fold card.  Her Black card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and is scored at 2 1/8" X 4 1/4".  The front left panel is folded back.

Look at the many layers of die-cuts she added here!  Lots of Vellum along with Polished Pink ink and Just Jade & Soft Succulent card stock & inks. Placing the die-cuts on Black really brings out the color & details. 

The designer paper on the left panel is from the Pattern Party 12 X 12 Host paper.  It's one of the choices you get free with an order over $150; host rewards kick in at this level.  See it here or on page 171 in the Annual catalog. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Unique Triangle Gate-fold card with video

Check out this fabulous fun fold card that shows off both sides of your Designer Paper!  

I had a request to do a video for it so I featured it in this week's Stamp with Me Live on Monday night. If you aren't following me on FB here's the link to my page. 

Here is the card made with the Peaceful Prints DSP in the Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  Right now it's FREE with a $50 order during Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-Bration promotion. It coordinates with the Peaceful Deer bundle.  I punched the deer on the front panel right from this paper!  

  

The card on the above right is made with the Peaceful Prints specialty DSP.  I added a few wreaths cut from the Seasonal Swirl dies - one in Black and one in Silver.  

Watch the video below to see how it's made.  It's actually quite easy and really does showcase both sides of your 2-sided Designer Paper!

Neat Fun Fold - Diagonal 'Faux' Pocket card!

I made this unique fun-fold card on Monday night's FB Live.  It was Stamp with Me night; the 2nd & 4th Monday's of each month here on my FB page.  You can see all of my videos here on my YouTube channel. 

Isn't it pretty?!  This paper is called Blackberry Beauty and it's filled with Gold accents on each sheet.  You can see it here.  It's also featured in my August card kit to go here and PDF tutorial here.  

The greetings are from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set in the Annual catalog; one of my favorites for greetings.  See it here. The printed die-cuts are from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera pack seen here. 

The card below is the same fold; but made with the gorgeous Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Paper.  These colors are Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, White and gold accents.

Below are the measurements for you.  I highly recommend you watch the video below; it will make it much easier to make. 

And here is the video; I hope you watch it.  You will love making these unique cards!

Delicate Dahlias with Poppin' Pastels technique

This weekend I'm holding a technique class and this is one of the cards we're making.  It features our new Soft Pastels and the Poppin' Pastel technique. 

The stamps are from the Delicate Dahlias set that is currently free with a $100 order.  It's a beautiful 2-step, photopolymer set that's also Dystinktive.  This means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking; a process Stampin' Up! has created. 

The outline images are stamped with Black Memento ink and the inside is colored with our new Soft Pastel chalks seen on page 126 or here in my store. 

Tip: scrape off a bit of the chalk and use the powder. You'll achieve brighter colors.

You need Versamark ink for the solid stamped image. Next you add the chalk to the Versamark stamped image with sponge daubers.  I daubed most of the color on but rubbed it in the center of the flower for a darker hue. The leaves are fussy cut and added separately. 

Measurements:

• Poppy Parade 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
• Beautifully Penned DSP seen here (free now during Sale-a-Bration) 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
• White 3 " X 3 1/2"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 
• Black 3 1/4" X 3 3/4"
