Fun Fold card with Floral Impressions suite of products by Stampin' Up!

 One of my friends challenged me to recreate the fun fold of a card she had seen online.  The blog post didn't have measurements and/or a tutorial of any sort.  So, I set to work trying to figure out the measurements and how it had been done.  The card below is what I came up with.  I hope you like it.  The fun fold is extremely easy to make.  I hope you recreate one like it using your supplies.  To see the video replay on how I put my card together, watch the video over on my YouTube channel.  While you're there, if you haven't already, be sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you will know each time I upload a video and/or go live.

Theater Candy treat box with Gallery Blooms, Paper Tags

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there today!  I hope you are enjoying a day of relaxation and spoiling.  I made these boxes with the idea they could be given on Mother's Day to your mothers, friends, family, etc.  They would also make a great teacher's gift or small birthday gift for a friend who loves Junior Mints like me!  They are so easy to make, you can knock them out pretty quickly if you still need something special to give to your mom.  To see how I put this box together, you can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Forever Loved, Forever Remembered with Gallery Blooms

 Today I'm using the Gallery Blooms bundle and pairing it with a sentiment stamp set from the 2025-2026 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  My grandson just lost his paternal great-grandmother, and I thought it would be nice to make this card for him and his family members.  Remembrance cards/Sympathy cards are the hardest to make in the moment of loss.  I like to keep some on hand in case I need them.  To see how I've put my card together, you can watch the video replay over on YouTube.

You’re the Best carved wood & watercoloring technique card

I found another technique I hadn’t heard about before and decided to give it a try.  I watched Gina K Designs show the carved wood technique and thought I really needed to give it a try with some Stampin’ Up!®️ products.  I hadn't used the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder and since it's on the last chance list at a discount, it's the perfect time to grab it if you overlooked it previously.  When I saw this, I thought it would be perfect for wood carving.  Be sure to watch the video tutorial to see all the techniques I shared on this project.  You can see it on my YouTube channel.  

Supplies and Measurements:

Spotlight on Nature stamp set 163579

She's the Greatest stamp set 165439

I hope you will give the wood carving technique a try.  It does take a bit of practice to get the ink swiping light enough if you tend to be heavy handed like I am.  But as you can see, it's well worth the little bit of practice.  

Until next time; be happy, stay healthy and happy stamping!
