You're gold pop-out diamond fun fold card

 I've made another pop-out diamond fun fold card for you today.  I love this fold, it looks like it should be so hard but comes together so easily!  It adds an additional wow factor to your handmade card.  I wanted to showcase the Good Luck stamp set as Stampin' Up! rarely gives us a stamp set for St. Patrick's Day.  I suggest you get it as soon as possible before it sales out.  Once Valentine's Day is over, it will start to sell quickly.  To see how I've put my card together, be sure to pop on over to my YouTube channel for the video tutorial.  You can find it easily by clicking this link.

    Sneak Peek item (will be available beginning March 3, 2026)

    cut into (4) 1/2" x 4" strips

Embossing Additions tool kit 1559971 (optional but helpful)
Take Your Pick Tool 144107 (I use mine for every crafting project I love it so much)

I hope you have enjoyed this card.  It was the make-n-take project for our monthly crop day yesterday and the ladies all loved it.  I hope you give it a try!  My original inspiration for the fun fold came from Susan Campfield.  

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!

A Stampin' Up! sketch card with the 2025 Crafting Advent Calendar stamps

I recently received the new 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar for 2025 by Stampin' Up!  I wanted to see what it was all about.  My friend Tracy suggested I open one window each day and try to make a card with the contents.  Today is Day 1 and I started with just the stamps.  The stamps are all occasion stamps, even though the box itself is decorated for Christmas.  I thought I would make a card for a December birthday, using just the stamps and some additional cardstock/DSP.  Stampin' Up! sent out some sketches to those of us who participated in World Card Making Day last Saturday.  I decided to incorporate one of those sketches into my project for today.  

You will find the video tutorial for this card over on my YouTube channel.





Measurements and Supplies:
12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar 167335 (just the stamps for today)
The Right Words 165316 (for inside sentiment)
    2 pieces 1 7/8" x 5" (different patterns, I used the front and back of one sheet for mine)
Old Olive two-tone cardstock 2 5/8" x 2 7/8" (2 pieces, use one side light and one side dark)
    two pieces 1/2" x 3 5/8" for inside (one light side, one dark)
Basic White cardstock for stamping images & inside layer 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Thick Basic White cardstock for card base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored in center at 4 1/4"
nail buffing block or light sandpaper
Ink Pads: Pool Party, Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Darling Duckling

I hope you like this first project made with the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar.  Be sure to check my Facebook page for the next projects.  To purchase your Crafting Advent Calendar, click this link, it will take you directly to the product page.  Of course, you can always shop for any Stampin' Up! supplies by clicking on the shopping cart in the upper right.

Well, that's all for me today.  Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!

Sneak Peek of Heart Shaped Just Because I Care fold over treat box

 Hello everyone.  I hope you like the sneak peek of one of this year's Sale a-bration offerings by Stampin' Up!  This is a level 2 set which includes a photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies.  I found some Italian milk chocolate hearts at my local Home Goods store and knew I would need to make a treat box to share them in.  I designed two boxes, one with reinforced sides and front and the other with just a reinforced front so I could get two boxes from one sheet of cardstock if I were to make a bunch of them.  I like to design boxes which allow me to get multiples from one sheet of cardstock.  If you would like to see how I've put this box together, be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.
