April IDEAS: Fun Fold Cards

Published by under cards

This month the IDEAS Design Team brings you another fantastic bundle of inspirational projects – the April focus is on one of our favourite themes: Fancy Folds!

The collage above is a sneak peek of the projects the Design Team have contributed this month.

My project is a double-layer flap fold card with a ‘floating’ sentiment… thanks to Window Sheets. I used the Encircled in Nature bundle (stamps and dies) which are one of the fabulous that are currently available (check them all out ).

This is a card with a ‘surprise’ because when you open up the top layer there is another layer to lift before you get to the greeting. Something fun for your recipient!

To get your hands on this file of tutorials, including the projects shown here, simply place a $50+ order of Stampin’ Up! products with me during the month of April 2024. This can be done through my , or by contacting me by email, by Facebook or phone. It’s also available for separate purchase and is provided to my team members for free in our team forum and also to my stamp club members. Once you have received the tutorials, please remember they are for your personal use only, so that means you can’t distribute any printed or electronic copies of these bundles.
CONTACT ME to order your tutorials.

March IDEAS: Zinnias Inch Block Cards

Published by under cards

Here we are in March already, and a new month brings another fantastic bundle of inspirational projects from the Ideas design team.

This month we are focusing on using up scraps in simply stunning ways. I don’t know about you, but I always seem to have leftover pieces of paper that are just too pretty to throw away – especially long strips of patterned paper. So that’s what I decided to focus on for my project this month.

The collage above is a sneak peek of the projects the Design Team have contributed this month.

My projects this month feature the brand new Zinnia range of products – part of the latest huge range of that are now available (check them all out ). This suite includes stamps, dies, patterned paper and even a cute pack of adhesive-backed sequins that perfectly coordinate in colour with the patterned paper.

The instructions include how to line up those squares of papers with perfect results every time! And let’s face it, that’s by far the hardest part! I’ve discovered a very handy trick, and after testing it out many times I can tell you it’s a huge timesaver with accurate results every time.

IDEAS: Nature’s Sweetness Suite

Published by under cards

February is here with a new month of inspirational projects from the Ideas design team.

This month we are focusing on different suites offered by Stampin’ Up!. Suites are more than a bundle. They often include coordinating paper, embellishments and ribbon or trim.

The collage above is a sneak peek of the projects the Design Team have contributed this month.

My projects this month feature the Nature’s Sweetness suite of products. Did you know that the stamp images in the Lovely & Sweet stamp set are of the cacao pods and flowers (chocolate!), flat-leafed vanilla and also almonds. No wonder this set is called Lovely & Sweet.
