Forever Fern Diagonal Gatefold Card

Gatefold cards are one of my favorite cards to make. Today I tried my hand at making a diagonal gatefold card. I used products from the Forever Greenery Suite by Stampin’ Up!

Beautiful elements right?! For my Forever Fern Diagonal Gatefold Card I used the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper, the Forever Fern stamp set and the Greenery Embossing folder from the suite along with dies from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and a bit of Just Jade 1/4″ ribbon.

Product List

Just Jade 1/4" (6.4 Mm) 2020–2022 In Color Ribbon	Stampin' Seal	Stampin' Dimensionals	Mini Glue Dots

I received several comments during my Coffee & a Card Facebook Live about how pretty this card was. You can’t miss when you use such beautiful papers like the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper. I love it!

This diagonal gatefold card is easy to make but requires a little patience and extra attention when cutting and scoring to make the card base. Watch the video tutorial and refer to the measurements and cutting/scoring diagram and you will be making your own diagonal gatefold card in no time!

Measurements:

Just Jade Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 11″ scored at 4-1/4″ on the 8-1/2″ side and scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side. Cut scored card stock diagonally from top lefthand corner to bottom righthand corner to create two card bases.
Pretty Peacock Cardstock: 5″ x 3-3/4″ cut diagonally from top lefthand corner to bottom righthand corner.
Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper: 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ cut diagonally from top lefthand corner to bottom righthand corner. (Use one piece for card and save remaining piece for second card.)

Make a Parisian Flourish Embossed Card

I wanted to make a Parisian Flourish Embossed card and here is what I came up with. I also tried a new technique with my rectangular shaped dies. These cards have an embossed panel using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder and Stitched So Sweetly Dies from Stampin’ Up!

I had been itching to use the Playful Alphabet Dies and wanted to make a pretty background for the “HELLO” die-cuts. I pulled the colors for the card from the Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper.

I showed how to make this card on today’s Make-it-Monday Facebook Live. Watch the video replay below to learn how used a Stitched so Sweetly Die to create the angled embossed panel.

Product List

Butterfly Gala Photopolymer Stamp Set	Night Of Navy Classic Stampin' Pad	Playing With Patterns 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper	Coastal Cabana 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Night Of Navy 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Calypso Coral 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder
Stitched So Sweetly Dies	Playful Alphabet Dies	Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels	Take Your Pick
Adhesive Sheets	Stampin' Seal

I started with an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Coastal Cabana card stock folded in half to create the card base. Next an 4″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock was embossed the the Parisian Flourish 3-D Embossing Folder then die-cut per the video. The piece of Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper for this card measures 4″ x 3-1/2″.

These cards have clean lines and use bright colors with fun patterns. One of the gals on my Make-it-Monday Facebook Live described the card as a “Happy Card” which I think hits the nail on the head.

Make an Art Gallery Birthday Card!

Make an art gallery birthday card using the Dressed to Impress stamp set! I was in need of two feminine birthday cards and you cannot get any more feminine than the Dressed to Impress stamp set. Pair it with the coordinating All Dressed Up Dies and it has all the things every girl wants!

To make the card base I used an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Purple Posy card stock folded in half. I cut several frames from subtle card stock using the layering shapes dies from Stampin’ Up!; Layering Ovals, Layering Squares and Layering Circles.

You can make an art gallery birthday card yourself! Watch this video for all the tutorial.

Make a Heat Embossed Die-Cut Thank You Card

I shared how to make a heat embossed die-cut thank you card on today’s Coffee & a Card Facebook Live. Have you tried heat embossing on your paper craft projects yet? It’s magic!

We embossed the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set from Stampin’ Up! with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder onto a Misty Moonlight card front.

I used the partial die-cut technique on this card using a panel of Bumble Bee card stock layered with Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. The partial die-cut technique is easy to do and it takes your card to another level. Watch this video to see how to make a heat embossed die-cut thank you card.

Arrange a Wreath Reverse Easel Card

Today’s card is another fancy fold card. The fold is a reverse easel card. An easel card is a good choice when the card is as pretty as this one. I used the Arrange a Wreath Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to make this card.

The card base is an 11″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Thick Whisper White that is scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side. I folded the card in half on the 5-1/2″ score line to form the card base then folded the 2-3/4″ panel back toward the front of the card. I used a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper to Line both the card base and the top inside of the card.

I used the large rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to make a panel to hold the wreath and to serve as the easel. A small strip of card stock acts as a platform to stop the easel and keep it upright. Watch this video tutorial for precise directions:

Celebrate Sunflowers Pop-Up Card

Today’s card is a WOW card with all the bells and whistles. I used one of my favorite new bundles, Celebrate Sunflowers, from Stampin’ Up! to create this pop-up card:

The card opens and a field of sunflowers pops up! Is that the cutest?! It was really easy to make once you know the secret. Watch this video tutorial to learn how to make your own pop-up card.

Here is a closeup photo of the card front. I love how the Braided Linen Trim can be stretched for a different look.

And here’s a bigger photo of the fun field of sunflowers on the inside of the card. The “wildly grateful” sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set seemed the perfect choice for the inside of the card.

Make Your Own Envelopes

I was recently requested to demonstrate how to make envelopes that coordinate with your handmade cards. Always ready to please, I featured envelopes on today’s Make-it-Monday Facebook Live.

The technical name for this first envelope is Baronial. The Baronial envelope I made fits an A2 card (4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″). To make this envelope you will need an 8″ x 8″ piece of paper. If your card is larger adjust your paper accordingly.

The second envelope I’m sharing is called a long pocket or Policy envelope. I made two different sizes of this style; one for an A2 card and one for a slimline card. To make the first, smaller pocket envelope you will need a 10-3/4″ x 7-3/4″ piece of paper. To make a long pocket envelope for a slimline card you will require 9-1/2″ x 11″ piece of paper.

Making these envelopes is very easy and I show how to do so on this replay of today’s Facebook Live.

You don’t have to make your own envelopes to make them a little fancy. I also shared in the video how to line different types and sizes of envelopes. Wouldn’t you love to receive a card in one of these dressed up envelopes?!

Birds & Branches Slimline Card

Slimline cards are a new trend in card making and I thought I would try my hand at it. I thought a bird nest balancing on a branch up in the sky would make a great slimline card. The Birds & Branches Bundle from Stampin’ Up! was perfect for what I had in mind.

I started with a 8-7/8″ x 7-3/4″ piece of Thick Whisper White card stock folded in half to form the card base. The dimensions I chose will allow the card to fit into a #10 business size envelope.

I used the Birds & Branches Bundle from Stampin’ Up! Don’t you just love the sweet little birds and their cozy nest?

Did you notice the stitched outline on the stamped layer on the card? Did you wonder how in the heck I was able to create a stitched rectangle perfectly sized for this slimline card? If so, you’re in luck because here is a video tutorial that shows how to extend your square and rectangle dies.

The sentiment I used came from the Field of Flowers stamp set from Stampin’ Up! Isn’t that font the bomb?!

Here is a couple of cards that I have created with the Field of Flowers stamp set. I love the simplicity of this stamp set.

Here are the card dimensions and a list of products used in my Birds & Branches Slimline card.

Card Base = 8-7/8″ x 7-3/4″ piece of Thick Whisper White card stock scored at 3-7/8″ on the 8-7/8″ side then folded on score line.
First Layer = 8-5/8″ x 3-5/8″ piece of Balmy Blue card stock
Stamped Layer = 8-7/8″ x 7-3/4″ piece of Whisper White card stock cut with second largest Stitched Rectangle Die.
Birds & Nest Die-Cuts = 4″ x 4″ piece of Crumb Cake card stock.

Product List

Birds & Branches Bundle	Field Of Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set	Balmy Blue Classic Stampin' Pad	Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad
Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock	Balmy Blue 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Crumb Cake 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Stitched Rectangles Dies
Stamping Sponges	Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2	Linen Thread	Stampin' Dimensionals	Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Thank you for stopping by my little part of the internet. I hope I may have inspired you to step out on a limb (gack!) to create your own slimline card!

Birds & Branches Birdhouse Treat Holder

I must be on a milk-carton kick because today’s project is using the same base as the watermelon treat holder I made last week, only larger. I knew I had to create a birdhouse as soon as I saw the Birds & Branches Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

Isn’t the carton the cutest?! I cut a circle in the front panel of the carton and framed it with a scallop circle for the entrance to the birdhouse. I covered the entrance with a piece of window sheet so that any treats put inside the carton will be visible.

The roof is embossed using the Pinewood Planks 3-D embossing folder and then trimmed with a 1/2″ strip of scalloped card stock. I used a paper piercer and handheld circle punch to attach the roof to the top of the birdhouse with the baker’s twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack so that the recipient can open the box without damaging it.

Here is the video tutorial from today’s Make-it-Monday Facebook Live showing how to assemble the birdhouse milk carton. Below the video you will find the project cutting and scoring guide along with a list of the supplies used in today’s project.

Project Cutting & Scoring Guide:

Milk Carton = 10-1/2″ x 7″ piece of Seaside Spray card stock. Score at 2-1/2″, 5″,, 7-1/2″ and 10″ on the 10-1/2″ side. Score at 1/2″, 2″ and 4-1/2″ on the 7″ side. Trim per diagram
Carton Panels = four pieces of 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ 2020-2022 In-Color Designer Series Paper
Birdhouse Roof = 3″ x 5″ Flirty Flamingo card stock

Click on any of the images below for more information about that product.

Product List

Birds & Branches Bundle	Flirty Flamingo Classic Stampin' Pad	Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad	Seaside Spray 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Flirty Flamingo 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Window Sheets	Layering Circles Dies	Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack	Simply Scored
Paper Trimmer	Bone Folder	Multipurpose Liquid Glue	Mini Glue Dots	Stampin' Dimensionals

These sweet little birdhouses would be a cute way to gift someone a gift card. I would fill the carton with some wrapped candy and slide a gift card in with the candy. They would also make sweet little table favors or party decorations.

I hope this post inspires you to create a milk carton birdhouse treat holder of your own!

Learn a Faux Watercolor Technique

For today’s card I used a faux watercolor technique. It was very easy to achieve using a torn paper stencil and Stamping Sponges.

The card base and fern die-cut is made using Terra-Cotta Tile card stock and I used Bumble Bee ink for the sponged stencil. The sentiment for the card came from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

The card recipe is below with a list of supplies used and you can watch this video tutorial to learn how I created the faux watercolor look.

Card Recipe

Card Base – Terra Cotta Tile 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ folded in half.
Second Layer – Basic Black 5-1/4″ x 4″
Stamped Layer – Whisper White 5″ x 3-3/4″
Die-cut Layer – Terra Cotta Tile 3″ x 4″
Card Insert – Whisper White 5-1/4″ x 4″

Product List

Forever Fern Bundle (English)	Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set (English)	Bumblebee Classic Stampin' Pad	Terracotta Tile Classic Stampin’ Pad	Terracotta Tile 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Basic Gray 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad	Stamparatus	Stamping Sponges
Sponge Daubers	Linen Thread	Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I always like to stamp a little something on the insert of the cards I make and I used the small leafy branch image from the Forever Fern stamp set for this card. It’s such a sweet little touch and surprise for the card recipient.

I hope you enjoyed this faux watercolor technique and try it for yourself. I would love to know if you try it!

Make a Watermelon Milk Carton Treat Holder

Here is my latest Make-it-Monday creation. I wanted to make a party favor for our Father’s Day get-together this weekend and what’s better than a watermelon milk carton filled with sweet treats?!

I used two new In-Colors from the Stampin’ Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalog; Magenta Madness and Just Jade for the treat holder. I used circle dies to create the cute little watermelon halves and the “YUMMILICIOUS!” tag.

I punched the watermelon “seeds” from Basic Black card stock adhered to an Adhesive Sheet with a handheld circle punch. Here is a side view of the treat box so that you can see the milk carton fold.

It’s fairly easy to make the milk carton box and it doesn’t require any special tools. You will want a trimmer with a scoring blade or a Simply Scored board to create the fold lines required to make the box. I have included a cutting and scoring guide along with a diagram and a video tutorial for you below.

Scoring Guide: Start with an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of card stock.

Score at 2″, 4″, 6″ and 8″ on the 8-1/2″ side of card stock.
Score at 1/2″, 2″ and 4″ on the 5-1/2″ side of card stock.
Score at 1-1/2″ and 5-1/2″ on the top of 1/2″ tab of carton.
Score two diagonal lines per the diagram below.
Trim on red score lines.

Two Fun Fold Cards Full of Flowers

Fun-fold cards pack a big “WOW” factor and are such a treat to receive! I enjoyed making the cards in today’s post and they were so easy to make.

This first card looks like a large matchbook. The sentiment tag is positioned just right to keep the card closed. The pretty sunflower print from the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper begged for me to use the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle. It didn’t really beg me but don’t you think it was a great idea?

The second card uses paper from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper pack as well. This vibrant floral print is lively and includes my favorite new In-Color Magenta Madness! I pulled that color from the paper by adding the butterfly die-cuts.

Watch the video below to see how I put these full-of-flowers card together.

Make Your Own Gift Bag!

I love making my own gift bags when possible. I can customize the size of bag to fit the gift and it’s fun to coordinate everything using stamps, paper and ink.

Here are two different sized bags I made using the Dino Days Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

Aren’t they cute?! These bags are great for the little people in your life. You can easily change up the designer paper and embellishments to fit any occasion.

Here is a video tutorial showing how I created the smaller bag using two pieces of 8″ x 8″ pieces of Designer Series Paper.
