As I explain in today’s video, Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Paper has designs on both side of each sheet, usually both sides a very pretty and you need to decide which one to have facing out and which to stick down to your card. Today’s fun fold showcases both sides of the paper so no decision necessary!
Continue readingI love to have a small, cute calendar on my desk throughout the year – so each year I design a card to incorporate one. I chose the twisted Easel Fun Fold making it the perfect size to fit into a regular envelope so I could also send them as little gifts.
Continue readingSympathy cards are ones we would really rather not send – but when we do they can bring so much comfort to those who receive them. I have created an easy fun fold card with nice soft colors, if you change out the greeting it would make a pretty, feminine birthday, thank you or thinking of you card.
Continue readingI love a fun fold card and I have a personal mission to ensure I used my decorative paper in my card making. Today’s card meets both of those plus I have a lovely thanksgiving card as a result, plus it will fit into a standard 5 3/4 x 4 3/8 envelope for easy posting!
I have also used several techniques that I have used before, coloring with Stampin’ Blends and heat embossing – if you scroll down a little you will see links to post and videos I have made about those……. enjoy!

Today’s card features the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper and by using it to create this fun fold we can see both sides of the paper!
I have paired this with the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and coordinating Strawberry Builder Punch, however there is not strawberry in sight – just to show you how versatile this bundle is…. oh and there is a video – so read on……………………..
Continue readingLast week I shared some hints and tips on using the wonderful Pansy Patch Stamp Set and coordinating Pansy Dies. During that video I did a little stamping and some assembly of the die cuts and promised to share a card using those two elements. Well today is the day – I have a cute fun fold card to stage those pieces.
Continue readingI do love a fun fold and the quicker and easier the better! Today I have used a very simple Z fold and paired Pool Party with Rich Razzleberry, which I think is a great combination.
Today is the last day for the 2020 – 2021 Stampin UP! catalog – although all the products (with the exception of the Classic Label Punch ) I am using today are carrying over you might just have something on your wish list that will be here today but gone tomorrow!
Continue readingThis time next week it will be Christmas Day!!! After a year of everything being turned on its head I am determined to hold onto some of my Christmas traditions, I have my trees decorated, lights on the outside of the house and a traditional (English) Christmas Lunch planned!
But sometimes I like a little ‘non-tradition’ to creep in, so I have a tree in my hall that is decorated in purples and pinks and chose to use similar colors for today’s card, Blackberry Bliss and Rococo Rose, to create this ‘lazy Z fold card’
Continue readingI like to use traditional red, green and gold for my Christmas cards, but sometimes, for a change, I like to go toward the blues, white and silver!. The Snowflake Splendor Suite has the perfect products to create my card today using just those colors.

I also used the Forever Fern Stamp Set again, this time with two shades of blue ( who said leaves had to be green?) This has the most wonderful variety of leaf images, so easy to build up a great design.
