I have a fun fold card to share with you that I am calling the Double Flap card. This is one that I have seen a few times but did not look at too closely. I received a swap with the fun fold part so of course I had to make one. The fun fold part is the same but everything else is totally different on my card. I used the Crafting With You Bundle.
Stamps and Dies
The Crafting With You Bundle has some really special Dies included that do not match a stamp. One example is the cutting board on the front of the card. I think this is the best ever!! It has the cutting bar that you can slide paper under. How cool!! Ok, so I started with my favorite piece first. The stamp set is great, as is the dies, and they have images for several different types of crafting. I focused on the ones for paper crafting today.
The sentiment is so darn sweet! I love the verbiage, but also the mix of fonts, and the fun way the words are placed. As I mentioned above, I focused on the stamps that are showcasing paper crafting, or are generic like the sentiments. Here are views of the open card.
This view showcases the Stampin’ Up! Cut and Emboss Machine. I think that is extra special that it looks exactly like the machine! And here is the final open view.
This generic sentiments works for a variety of crafting, but especially for paper crafting. During Covid I sent quite a few cards out with the Handmade Hug on them. I love that sentiment and am happy to have it back again.
Extra Shapes
There were two of the Crafting With You dies used. The paper trimmer and the die cutting machine. But did you notice the other shapes? I have used the Stylish Shapes Dies for the layered circles of the top two folds. And the inside sentiment layer is two dies from the Deckled Rectangles Dies. Finally the front sentiment is punched on one side using the Elegant Edge Punch. This is a new punch that I was so excited to use. I love the fun look!
Papers
The basis of the card is the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. I then chose colors that coordinated with this. The card base is Basic White that is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 to help the White sentiment and other layers to pop. The lighter and larger of the circle and deckle layers is Pool Party. It is not necessarily listed as a color included in the DSP, but it works as a lighter Lost Lagoon. Because the DSP is a bit dark, I like having the lighter layer. And it is paired with the smaller size circle in Lost Lagoon.
The layout is a piece of DSP that is 12 x 5 1/4, and scored at 2,4,6,and 8. Fold and burnish on all the score lines and then view the card as to how to adhere them. You make mountain folds and adhere the Up pieces together so that the DSP is adhered to itself and you end up with two “flaps” and then the inside back of the card. (Reminder that this DSP is included in the 15% off DSP sale going on!!)
To finish the card, I went a little differently than cards I have seen when using circles as layers. With the card closed, the inside back sentiment layer shows just a bit. I did not like that. So I created the front sentiment layer that when the card is closed lays so that it is covering that view. And as the final touch, in place of some bling, I used a Berry Burst heart on the sentiment to pop against all of the greens.

Today’s card is a second version of Friday’s card. It stars the Countryside Inn DSP and Timeless Arrangements Bundle. This one was made as a swap card for a Stampin’ Up! 35th Anniversary Event I attended on Saturday in Aiken, South Carolina. It was a fabulous event with lots of great card ideas.
Stamps and Dies
As I said, this is another version of the card I shared on Friday. I love using the same layout and changing the colors and papers. This one stars the Timeless Arrangements Bundle. The sentiment layer and the little floral pieces are from the bundle. I love the details on the sentiment layer. The die is part of the bundle and is in three sizes. There are quite a few wonderful sentiments that fit on the various layer pieces.
The floral pieces are from the die as well. Each of the colors I used are all attached at the bottom with a little bar. So they are so easy to layer together. My method is to place my bottom layer on the Silicone Craft Mat and add a strip of glue to the bar. Then I layer the next color and design of floral on top with the bars piling on top of each other. It makes it so simple to do and gives the finished floral some strength. After gluing these florals to the card base I added the sentiment over top of the bars with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Papers
The paper star of the card is the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. Blues are my go to color and this pack has that done beautifully. I chose three different patterns to layer on top of the Night Of Navy layer. That layer is embossed with the Country Blossom Embossing Folder.
All of the colors of paper came from the DSP pieces. I used Boho Blue as the card base with a thin White layer to break up the blue and to reflect the sentiment layer. Next is Night of Navy with the DSP on top. After adding the 1 X 4 strips the focal layer of the floral came next. They are done with Basic White, Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue.
The finishing touch was a single Brushed Brass Butterfly. That qualifies as Bling in my book. And what better to pair with flowers.
Thank you for stopping in today!! And remember this DSP is included in the Designer Series Paper sale listed below!

My card to share today is a CASE from fellow demonstrator, and friend, Paula Butler. When we receive a pretty card it is perfectly fine to change a bit and make it your own.
Papers
It is really difficult to say what is the most important part of this card. They are all great on their own! But I will begin with the papers. These are strips from three different sheets of the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper. I know that I have used this quite a bit. And I will continue to use it! There is not a bad sheet in this pack. And it is currently 15% off!! These strips are each 1 X 4.
The card base is Thick Basic White card stock. I added the thin layer of Lost Lagoon as it is a color in all three of the DSP papers. The gorgeous die cut piece is from the Gorgeously Made Dies. I love that this piece has great detail and it is large enough to stand alone as I have used it. This piece is from Crushed Curry card stock.
Stamps and Other Products
This is a pretty simple card but does include a variety of products. However it could be made utilizing things that you already have. Unless you are like me and want the new things you see!!! To begin this section I will start with the embossed layer of White. The embossing folder is one I really do love! It is one of three that are in the Online Exclusives store. They do not have names other than they are Basics Embossing Folders. The detail on this one is fabulous.
The next extra is the sentiment layer. The sentiment itself is from the Happy Labels stamp set. And it fit perfectly on the rough cut Die cut from the Gorgeously Made Dies. This is the same Die set as the floral piece. I like the jagged edges. With the fairly busy prints of the DSP, I did not need a lot of finishing touches. But again, there must be bling! So there is one small Gold Glossy Dot added next to the sentiment.

The inspiration for today’s card is from an advertisement. We get them from everywhere! But I was surprised by this one and how perfectly it works with the Beautiful Balloons Bundle.
Stamps and Dies
The Beautiful Balloons is such a fun Bundle. The dies are wonderful and add more than just the balloons. Although I did not use any of the extras here. The three balloons are stamped and die cut. For the largest one I die cut from Lost Lagoon card stock and then stamped the little stars with Lost Lagoon Ink. But the other two balloons are stamped and then die cut. They are Lemon Lolly and Parakeet Party.
The sentiment is also from the stamp set. There are a couple of different sentiments to go along with the balloons. I really like this one and that it is long. It fit the bottom of the layer perfectly to fill in white space.
Papers
The idea of this card was to focus on the balloons. And I only needed a small bit of DSP for the gift box. It could have come from anywhere, but I chose this piece from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. This 6X6 pack is part of the Bright & Beautiful Suite of products which includes the Bundle, the DSP, and the Acetate Celebration paper.
The card base was chosen from the DSP as the brightest of the colors. It is Berry Burst. The Lost Lagoon balloon, as well as the other balloons, came from that little piece as well. I tried a couple of the colors for the thin layer between the Berry and the White, and the Lost Lagoon one that contest.
Finishes
There must be bling! And I only used one of the larger Rhinestones. Shocking! I know. But there is also extra touches with the twine. To make the balloon strings, I used the 2022-2024 In Color Bakers Twine. This was a carry over that thrilled me. I love Baker’s Twine. By adhering all of the balloons, except leaving the bottoms loose, I could lift it up and place a glue dot and the tip of the twine. The twine was allowed to twist and do it’s own thing as I pulled it down to the gift. There I added two glue dots. One to secure the three strings, and another for the bow. It was really easy to do and a great extra touch for the Balloon Celebration!

It is no secret that I love the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper. I have used it several times. Well, today is another of those times! And I have paired it with the Inked & Tiled Bundle.
Inked & Tiled Bundle
This bundle is a really nice one for several reasons. There are stamps that are both images and sentiments. And it is paired with punches instead of dies. Not just one punch, but two punches! I have used the more solid one on this card. The other is an “X” with pointed ends. Both are great and have multiple uses.
Today I used the stamped image with the old technique of Ink To Rubber. That is a red rubber stamp, sadly it does not work on photopolymer stamps, that you color the rubber with Stampin’ Write Markers. I used Pretty Peacock for the stem and leaves. And Flirty Flamingo as the flower center with Crushed Curry for the petals. The sentiment is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Note: Stampin’ Write Markers, with the exception of Basic Black, are only available as the entire collection or as Color Families. However they are great to have on hand.
Papers
The fun DSP pieces are both from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper. I love directly stamping on to the DSP. Naturally it doesn’t work for all DSP, but in this case I love the look it gives. In this card I wanted a softer look and stamping on the DSP achieved that.
The card base is the new In Color Wild Wheat. It really makes the plaid in the front DSP stand out. And I was surprised at how well the Flirty Flamingo layer paired with it also. None of these colors seem to really go together, yet they all do work well with each other. Sometimes just going for it really works!
Finishes
To finish the card I knew I wanted a ribbon. In putting the layers together I layed them all out on the Wild Wheat card base at the angles to make sure nothing was overhanging. After adhering each layer to the Flirty Flamingo, I wrapped a piece of the Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon around all three layers. The Lost Lagoon is included in the greenery DSP layer along with the Pretty Peacock. I adhered the ribbon on the back of the Flirty Flamingo and then adhered all the bundle I had made to the card base.
The sentiment was punched using the Inked & Tiled Punch and added using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bow was added off to the side. For the bling I used the Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins. These are in two sizes. I spread a trio of the smaller gold ones around the card.
Measurements
There is not an exact science to the layers I used. But I did stagger the sizes a little. The Flirty Flamingo layer is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8 with the green DSP layer 3 X 5. And the plaid stamped layer is 2 3/4 X 4 3/4. The differences allow for more angled placement as they get smaller.
Don’t forget the DSP sale! The Inked Botanicals DSP is included.

For today’s card I have cased the catalog. The Annual Catalog years ago had the additional name of Idea Book and Catalog. When I am in need of inspiration for cards that is where I look. Today I went to the Supremely Awesome stamp set.
Stamp Set
The fun Supremely Awesome stamp set is for anyone who likes Pizza. And for those of us who like the more silly cards. I have several friends that this card fits perfectly! All of the images on the card are from the one stamp set. You know how much I love those type sets!
The stamping is all done using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. And the coloring is all Stampin’ Blends. You can always make your clothing and pizza any colors you wish. It did not bother me at all that the checkerboard strip is not darkly stamped. For me that shows a little wear and tear like an old pizza parlor would have. The sentiment is one long sentiment that I cut into pieces to “hang on the wall” . And I stamped an extra pizza for some depth. It is fussy cut and then layered over top of the other with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Colors and Extras
There had to be some red in a pizza card. So my middle layer is Poppy Parade. It made a great pepperoni color as well. The Misty Moonlight went along with the cook’s pants. And I colored the pizza to look like a pepperoni pizza. Although the crust is a tad on the light side.
To be a little different, I placed my layers all flush at the bottom and right side of the card base. I wanted the checkerboard strip to show and this seemed the best way. Plus the sentiment “hanging on the wall” needed a place that it was not against the white so it showed at it’s best. The hangers I used are Rhinestones that are colored with the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend the same as the pepperoni. I hope you remember that you can color the rhinestones and pearls with your blends!
