I just love the Stampin’ UP! Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper with the Wild Wheat, Lost Lagoon, Gray Granite and Pretty Peacock. You can find it in the Online Exclusives.

Stampin’ UP! Darling Dinos Bundle Twisted Gatefold Video Tutorial

April 9, 2025

Hello, friends…I have a fun card for you today called a Twisted Gatefold using the Stampin’ UP! Darling Dinos Bundle. It looks complicated but it is really easy.

See how it opens…just remember to “think” as you put it together. When you adhere the focal image on the front, have the card open so the circle is in the same orientation as the middle. Watch the video to see what I mean by this. I am sure I won’t confuse you…lol.

Here is a video to show you how to make one:

Measurements: Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 7-1/2″ scored at 2-1/2 and 5″ on the 7-1/2″ side, (3) 2-1/4″ x 4″ pieces of DSP, card stock for the focal image on front

Stampin’ UP! Mixed Media Florals Mix & Match Memories & More Card Pack

April 8, 2025

I just love the Stampin’ UP! Mixed Media Florals Mix & Match Memories & More Card Pack…now, that’s a mouthful! It’s a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to whip up some cards.

We made some cute ones designed by my upline Linda Heller at the Onstage in Raleigh in March.

It’s a fun gatefold that has a neat closure…all the things on this card came in the Stampin’ UP! Mixed Media Florals Mix & Match Memories & More Card Pack.

It was designed using a Petal Pink Card Base. You start with a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ card base and score on the 8-1/2″ side at 2-1/8″, 4-1/4, and 6-3/8. The white panels are 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″.

It’s a “no stamping” card. And how cute is that ladybug?

There is this little trick to make the focal image pop up and then keep the card closed. Punch out two circles and fold both in half. Now take one half from each circle and glue to the back of the large image circle matching them up at the fold lines. Now you will have two halves to glue on each side of the score line at 4-1/4″. You tuck in each side of the gatefold under the large circle to keep the card closed.

Update on my last post…hubby went septic with his gall bladder, and it is OUT! Now to get a month of IV antibiotics when he gets to go home after the surgery Monday. Doctor was in this morning and said it was a really big infection. A few days of staying in the hospital with him since he is a sneaky little patient especially on pain meds and sleeping pills. You know, I met him 39 years ago when he was my patient so I should not be surprised!!!
