Fun Fold Card ...

Stocking up on a variety of cards & thought about a Fun Fold. Products used are noted below post & I also used a January 3026 Product of the Month, Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set #167972 as well as Brushed Brass Butterflies both of which are no longer available. I am sure we all have a huge stash built so I occasionally dig through mine for just the right products.


I am happy to provide the PDF if you would like. Just comment below or send my a message. 

There's scoring, trimming & fun folding. I have included the list of current products I used. Just click the product image.

I would love to see the card(s) you make either with this design or with any elements shown here, so please look for this card on my Facebook page and post in the comments. I am also happy to make your card a main post if you like - just let me know. Currently my Facebook pge remains public while I allow it to build followers. Thank you for understanding :) 

Happy Creating,

Using New Products Sneak Peek ...

Sneak peek at a couple more new products that will be available to purchase May 6th! Let's look at Exciting Times Bundle + more.

I needed a birthday card so decided on one of the new In Colors 2026-2028. Hydrangea Hue is so pretty that I went with that one. It will be available to purchase when the new May-Aug 2026 catalog launches May 5th.

I used the current Product of the Month die, Eyelet Blooms. The die can be used for cards & scrapbook pages. If you have not purchased it for $5.00 with a $75.00 qualifying order you may be able to purchase it in the future - while supplies last of course.

With this card I decided to not lift the flower edges so they are laying flat on the white mat. I think this die cut looks really nice either way.

I have not received my order with Hydrangea Hue ⅜" Bordered Ribbon #167549 so I did use ribbon from my stash. It is not as dark as it appears in the photo above.

I did heat emboss Happy Birthday using Hydrangea Hue Classic Stampin' Pad and VersaMark with WOW Clear Embossing Powder.

The Exciting Times Bundle will get a lot of use and I do love that in the bundle it comes with a Punch. There are no dies for this stamp set - just the punch.

On the inside of the card, I used another stamp from Exciting Times.  Also, a small strip from the leftover piece of Hydrangea Hue cardstock I ran through my embossing machine with the April 2026 Product of the Month die, Eyelet Blooms.

I will post below the new products I used that will be available May 5th & below those products are the link thumbnails for current products that I used.

Happy creating,

Thank you card with April Product of the Month ...

Speaking of a beautiful Die, we have to say we love the April 2026 Product of the Month, Eyelet Blooms #167984!

For $5.00 you can add this Die to your qualifying order of $75 (USD) before tax, discounts & shipping.

The petals of the flowers can lay flat or you can lift them slightly for somewhat of a 3-D effect. That shows in the lower image of my photo below.


Some people like to use a fabric softener sheet when running the die through their die cut/embossing machine. I did not use one for this card but did run the "sandwich" through and then back again. The little bits did pop out and 99% of them stuck to the die. So, if you do not have the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip #149655 consider adding it to your next order. I have an older die brush so I do not have the Stampin' Up! die brush however I am told it works great with the Take Your Pick #144107 system.

Back to using a dryer sheet! If you do this method the little bits for the most part stick to the dryer sheet so a little less clean up :) Make your sandwich as you normally would but place the dryer sheet between the die & your cardstock.

I have listed the products I used for this card below using clickable links. The Petunia Pop Stampin' Blends are on Last Chance as of this post. My floral DSP is from Celebratory Sips if you have any of that left as it is no longer available.

I did fussy cut the flower in vase from a new collection of DSP that will be available May 6th & is from the new May-Aug 2026 catalog. I will add a photo of that package of DSP, Artisan Sketches #167752.


This package of DSP is so pretty and versatile. I see many quiet moments of coloring with watercolor pencils & Stampin' Blends!
