I have shared a few different cards using this layout of late. However this one adds the little corner tuck. It is a fun addition and one I hope you will enjoy.
And here is a view of the card open. You can see that it is very similar, when opened, to a couple I have shared recently.
Papers
These fun papers are what makes this card in my opinion. I love being able to mix patterns. Plus pairing them with the Shy Shamrock for the card bases was unusual for the inside panel, but works anyway. All of the DSP is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I have used this paper quite a lot. It is a favorite with the floral and faded looks each sheet has. One side is a beautiful floral pattern with the reverse being a faded solid color. I used one of those on the front of the small card.
All of the additional colors were pulled from the DSP. The Shy Shamrock of course, but also the Petunia Pop, Pretty In Pink, and Shaded Spruce. You cannot go wrong when using the DSP as the color coach!
Stamps & Bundle
The stamps used are all from the Flowers of Beauty and Unbounded Love. These, along with the DSP, are part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite of products. The sentiments are the ones from the Unbounded love set as it is a sentiment set with some fabulous matching dies. Although I did not utilize those dies.
The floral images are all from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set. Using the little leaf on the inside of the small card seemed to tie everything together. It was stamped using Shaded Spruce Ink. And the die cut greenery on the front of the card is also from the set and stamped with the same ink. Plus I used the matching die to cut it out. As well as the die for the flower. I used the 2″ Circle Punch for the sentiment layer for a simpler look there.
Finishes
To layer the sentiment focal point is to me part of the finishes. I tried layering and raising different parts of it. But I also had to add bling. And it needed to stand out a bit. So I turned to the 2024-2026 Resin Dots in the Shy Shamrock color to be the bling. It was a great size and in addition does not add any further height as they are fairly flat. Additionally, if you ever purchase full Suites of products, they are included in the Unbounded Beauty Suite along with both stamp bundles, the DSP, and Glimmer Paper. The Glimmer Paper was the only Suite item I did not use.
Measurements
This is a card that looks difficult and in fact is very simple to do. It just takes some cutting of paper.
The card base is Shy Shamrock cut 6 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored at 2 1/4
The White layers are 4 X 5 1/4 for the inside, and 2 X 5 1/4 for the left front flap
The DSP is 3 7/8 X 5 1/4 for the nside and 1 7/8 X 5 1/8 for the left front flap
The corner Tuck piece is Shy Shamrock at 1 7/8 X 1 7/8 cut in half diagonally (you can make two of these)
The White for the corner is 1 3/4 X 1 3/4 cut in half diagonally
The DSP for the corner is 1 5/8 X 1 5/8
Only adhere the corner tuck piece on the left and bottom, NOT along the long straight edge.
The small card is Shy Shamrock at 5 X 3 3/4 scored at 2 1/2
The White is 2 @ 2 1/4 X 3 1/2 (one for theinside)
The DSP is 2 1/8 X 3 3/8

I occasionally shy away from the Specialty cardstock as it generally only contains a few sheets. The one I am using today is not one I could pass up. The Regal Distress DSP is an “Oh My”.
Papers
These pretty papers are the stars of this card. I saw this angle cut on Pinterest and new it was a win to get the most cards from these papers. The Regal Distress Specialty Designer Series Paper is a great name for these sheets. They look very Regal to me. And to extend their numbers for layers, I found a way to use half on each card.
Each piece is cut to 3 3/4 X 5. By making a tick mark on the back side of each (the back is plain white) at 3 1/2, turning 180 degrees and again at 3 1/2 on the other side. I then cut from mark to mark. It leaves this simple angle. And the papers cut in this fashion will make two cards. The card base is Shaded Spruce to match the tree color in the focal layer.
Stamp
This sweet stamp is from the Festive Words stamp set. It is located towards the back of the Mini Catalog. There are no matching Dies so it is just the stamp set. There are four stamps in the set. This tree, a stocking, a bell, and a top hat. Each stamp has a simple word(s) on the image. They are perfect for quick cards.
The images is colored using Stampin’ Write Markers. These are perfect to color Red Rubber stamps. I used Shaded Spruce for the tree, Real Red for the sentiment, Early Espresso for the trunk, and Crushed Curry for the star. Stampin’ Write Markers are only available in a color family. Sadly these are unavailable right now. But…the colors I used, with the exception of the Early Espresso are all from the Regals family.
Finishes
There are only two additions to this card I have not mentioned. The first is the Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon. I placed this at an angle across the joining line of the two papers. And the second is a simple Iridescent Pearl added to the star of the tree. I did at the last minute round two opposite corners with a retired corner rounder to help the layer stand out a bit.
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

The stamping retreat from a few weeks ago may have been cut short due to the hurricane, but we were still able to share some awesome projects. I have changed up a little of one of them to share with you.
Stamp Bundle
This sweet bundle is appropriately named! It is the Sweetest Star Bundle. Plus it is a Punch bundle, these are my favorite kind. In addition to the gingerbread star, there are also Mr. and Mrs Claus stars. The card from the retreat that I cased, had the gingerbread stamped and White embossed. The designs really stood out. I wanted to see how a simpler version would do as I have quite a lot of customers who are not big fans of heat embossing.
My gingerbread man is stamped with Real Red Ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. I wanted a “soft and chewy” cookie. LOL!! By using a White Gel Pen I could color inside the outlines to make the frosting. Additionally the Sweet Wishes stamp is included in the set. It is stamped in Real Red Ink as well. The end of the strip of paper is flagged with Paper Snips for a fun cookie look.
Papers
The two different pieces of DSP are both from the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper. I love the soft peach snowflake piece. It is beautiful and different. And the candy cane piece is perfect for a cookie card. Both of these are layered on Real Red cardstock. I chose Crumb Cake as the card base when I chose it for the cookie. The only additional touch of White is the sentiment, and the inside layer of course.
Finishes
To compliment the busy DSP papers I kept the finishes simple. The added Real Red & White Bakers Twine made an adorable little bow for the gingerbread cookie. And a single addition of a red & white peppermint at the tip of the sentiment highlights it and the peppermint.
Measurements
Card base is Crumb Cake 4 1/4 X 11
Real Red layer is 3 3/4 X 5, and the candy cane Real Red layer is 1 1/2 X 4 1/2
The snowflake DSP is 3 5/8 X 4 7/8
The candy cane DSP is 1 3/8 X 4 3/8

To all of my scrapbooking and Close To My Heart friends…..This post is for you! As you probably know, Stampin’ Up! bought the Close To My Heart products as they were closing. And a lot of the Makers moved over to Stampin’ Up! as Demonstrators. Since this occurred the leftover CTMH products were not available to all of us, as there was not enough to go around.
Today the time has come to share with everyone the remaining CTMH products! AND, it is up to 30% off. Woohoo.. I have the link to my Online Store and the CTMH. But you can also get there from the button on my menu SHOP and then Shop Products. There is a tab for CTMH. You can also see a tab for Memory Keeping, which is the new SU scrapbooking products, under Shop Products.
I have also added the color comparison between CTMH and SU. This way you can compare the colors you may have from them and what will work now.

I have an adorable little Appreciated card to share today. The various touches are fairly sweet and feminine. There are a mix of small touches.
Bundle
It is a little difficult to decide where to begin in the products used. The Wonderful Thoughts Bundle has a large and small part in this card. The simply sweet sentiment is from the stamp set. And the simple, yet pretty, die cut flower is from the matching Die set. I rarely do a White on White card. So this was a little twist to that. White with a touch of color.
Background
This embossed background is the Eyelet Embossing Folder. I almost skipped over this in the catalog because it seemed more feminine and simple than I usually do. Of course then I began seeing cards using it, and like always, I had to have it! LOL!! These little eyelets were the perfect choice for this card I believe.
Colors
To provide the touch of color that allows the Die cut flower to stand out was simple. Thinking in terms of the colors the flower might be, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, and Lemon Lime Twist were the easy choices. And to not have the sentiment be too loud, it is stamped on the Lemon Lime Twist using Granny Apple Green Ink. All of these colors really compliment the White on White of the base and background. And help the little flower to pop.
Finishes
This card is so clean and simple that it did not require much in the way of add ons. A small touch that really adds to it however is the rounded corners. On each of the color strips there are opposite corners that are rounded. Any corner punch you have will work. And then to finish everything there had to be bling. After layering everything else, the bling was simple to place one Rhinestone on each of the strips.

I am sharing a pretty card today that is a bit of a twist on your regular easel card. My friend, the Paper Pixie, shared this card and I fell in love with it. The star of the card is the gorgeous Splendid Autumn DSP.
Papers
These sheets of DSP from t he Splendid Autumn Designer Series paper pack are beautiful and created by the Stampin’ Up! Design Artists. Those folks are seriously talented. This sheet I used doesn’t necessarily say Autumn, but was so pretty that I used it anyway.
The other colors were pulled from the DSP of course. I chose a darker background of Old Olive for the card base. And with the pop of Basic White for a layer everything seems to really shine. The most difficult to choose was the sentiment layer. I ended up with Fresh Freesia. But I held up every light pinkish purple we have to see which looked best. The Fresh Freesia was a definite winner. Plus it further takes it away from Autumn. This shows the range of uses with this package of DSP for sure.
Stamps
The beautifully scripted sentiment is one of two from the Autumn Expressions stamp set that I used. The other is on the inside of the card. I wanted something that was bold and would stand out from the papers. This worked both in size and beauty. It really gets the sentiment across to the recipient!
Extras
The extras on this card are simple as is everything else. I used the two largest of this rounded rectangle frame from the Nested Essential Dies. They really named this Die set appropriately. It truly is an essential between the circles, rectangles and banners.
The second “extra” is a simple one. I used a single bling to adorn the sentiment layer. This is one of the lighter pinks from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gens. The boldness of the sentiment really did not need much assistance to stand out.
Measurements
The measurements are simple. However, The Paper Pixie on 10-09-2024 episode demonstrated this. She has the video as well as measurements on her page. NOTE: The mechanism which allows the sentiment layer to stand free is the trick to this card. My first time making it, I adhered the panels prior to adding this mechanism. Don’t do like I did!!
The card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4.
The inside White is 4 X 5 1/4. The two front panels White measures 1 7/8 X 5 1/4 each.
The DSP was cut down from 6 X 6, to 6 X 5 1/8. Then cut two strips that are 1 3/4 X 5 1/8 and one that is 1 X 5 1/8. Keep these in order to show the scene properly. You also have a leftover piece for later.
The mechanism is a piece of Fresh Freesia measuring 2 X 2 that is scored at 1, turned and cut at 1. This leaves two 1 X 2 pieces that are scored across the middle.
After adhering the DSP to the two White layers, add a mechanism to the underside of the inside , centered, of each. You are adhering the strip under the white and in the center which leaves the other half standing up. Place these so they are back to back when the two panels are attached to the card.
After stamping and Die cutting the sentiment layers, fold the mechanisms over their panels and add adhesive to them. Now simply center the sentiment over top. This allows the sentiment to swing free when the panels stand up.
The final step is to adhere the inside White panel. Next add the thin DSP strip, WITH Dimensionas against the right edge. The DSP strip is the bumper for the easel and needs the height from the dimensionals.
Again, if this is confusing, The Paper Pixie has a great video.
