Stampin’ UP! Hope and Prayers with Hand Penciled DSP Triple Diamond Step Card Video Tutorial

November 30, 2022

The Triple Diamond Step Fold is so easy to make and packs a WOW! I used the Stampin’ UP! Hand Penciled Designer Series Paper and had a little color therapy while the grandie girls napped. Once the coloring was done I just whipped it together.

Take a look at how easy it is to make…

I colored one with Real Red Stampin’ Blends.

I colored one with Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends, too.

A beautiful sentiment to remind the recipient you have them in your prayers goes on the back:)

Measurements: Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 9-1/4″ scored at 1, 2, 3-1/2″, 5, and 7-1/8″, Black Squares: 2-7/8″ , 2-5/8″, and 2-3/8″, DSP Squares: 2-5/8″, 2-3/8″ and 2-1/8, DSP Step Strips: 3/4″ x 5-1/4″, 1-1/4″ 5-1/4″, 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″, White on back: 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″

Stampin’ UP! Party Puffins with 4 x 4 DSP Tip Video Tutorial

November 16, 2022

I have an old paper cutting tip to share with you today! It takes only a 4″ x 4″ piece of DSP to fill the front of your card! The Stampin’ UP! Black & White Designs DSP has some cool patterns that can be flipped and matched up. But you can do this technique with any DSP you want- using one piece of 4″ x 4″ on one card using the front and back or the same pattern or make two cards using different patterns like these cards.

That puffin is just too cute! Check out my video showing how I put these together…

So many fun ways to put the diagonal strip on the middle of the card. Take a look at these cards where I mixed and matched the card bases, diagonals strips and it appears the DSP.

That cute little “bowtie” is a sneak peek of a kite tie from the upcoming Stampin’ UP! Playing in the Rain Dies that I showcased at the Onstage event in Pittsburgh last week. Doesn’t it look so cute on the puffin?

Here is the inside of the cards…I noticed when I was uploading it that one of the candle flames was missing…oops!

Measurements: Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11, DSP: 4″ x 4″ cut as seen in video, Basic White or black panel for mounting DSP and inside: 4″ x 5-1/4″, Diagonal strip: 7/8″ x 6-1/2″, Scraps for ovals and banners

Stampin’ UP! Best Butterflies Bundle Diamond Flip Card

July 4, 2022

Happy Fourth of July everyone!

I have a fun summer card for you using the Diamond Flip Fun Fold Design.

You can see a video at the end of this post to see you to fold the card.

It opens up to show more pretty Stampin’ UP! Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper. The Butterly DSP on the front and inside is 2-7/8″ x 4″- the DSP on the inside 3-1/8″ x 4″. The DSP on the right is 2″ x 4″. The Basic White is 3-1/8″ x 4″. On the outside, I stamped the sentiment on a 1/2″ x 4″ piece of cardstock to accommodate the sentiment. When you use a 2-7/8″ DSP and a 3-1/8″ on the inside side or outside (or switch them) you can get one card out of one 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP since you will be using the leftover 2″ x 6″ for the inside right! The larger diamond border on the outside is a 3″ square and the smaller diamond inside it is 2-3/4″.

On the card below, I did the inside a bit different, I stamped a 3/4″ x 4″ strip of cardstock with the another sentiment saying “sending good vibes”. Again, the size accommodates the sentiment.

Measurements: Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-1/8″ and 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side. Cut arrow point as seen in the video tutorial I made using the Brewed for You Bundle.

Stampin’ UP! 25 Again Fun Fold Video Tutorial

November 7, 2018

I am so excited to be leaving for the Orlando Stampin’ Up Onstage Convention today!
I made this video of a neat fun fold the day before I left…
so maybe it is a little crazy because I was all hyped up…lol.

I just love that gold candle embellishment!

You can easily make it a gift card holder by adhering the circle to the gift card and
then adhering the gift card to the card base.

I added some little gold dots to the candles using a Gold Sharpie Marker to add a little gold to the inside
along with the sequins I am not so sure belong…hahaha

Measurements:
Use the Layering Circle Framelits for the Circles as follows:
25 Again Circle: use 1-7/8″ for the white circle, use 2-1/8″ for the black circle, use 2-1/4″ for the gold scallop
Cake Circle: use 1-3/8″ for the white circle, use 1-5/8″ for the black circle, use for 1-3/4″ the the gold scallop
You’re How Old? Circle: use 1-7/8″ for the white circle, use 2-1/8″ for the black circle, use 2-1/4″ for the gold scallop
Card Opening at top: use the 2-7/8″ circle to cut the DSP and then the 2-5/8″ circle to cut inside the DSP on the Black Cardstock itself

Card Base: Basic Black 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-1/2 and 6-3/4″ on the 11″ side.
Trim off 1/4″ off of the right side while still in the trimmer.
(3) 2-1/2″ Basic Black squares for circles
Broadway Bound DSP: Top 2-1/4″ x 4″, Bottom 4″ x 3-3/4″
Gold Foil: (3) 2-1/2″ squares for scallops
Whisper White inside: 4″ x 3-3/4″, (3) 2″ squares for circles
