Creating an origami window for the front of your card will bring attention to either an image, embellishment or greeting. And making it out of our fabulous designer series papers make it extra special. You basically start with a square of patterned paper and you can use any size. This card used a 3-3/4" square backwith a piece of coordinating ...
Today I stumbled upon a fun gift card holder by Glenda Calkins, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in the U.S. She showed how to make six of these from one piece of 12″ x 12″ designer series paper. Well, I don’t need six so my cutting and scoring measurements are for one card. If you’d like…
I have an easy card for you this Friday. I’m sure you are familiar with a gate-fold card, but if not, it’s a card where the card front is cut down the middle and you pull it open like a gate. I have made a number of cards using this fun fold but today I…
Wow! Take a look at this variation on the regular z-fold card. My creative spirit has been floating between Halloween themed projects and Christmas. Today I needed a change.

Oh my goodness today was a technical nightmare. I will not bore you with the details but this is why this post is so late. From filming to editing to uploading, glitch after glitch until I was ready to tear my hair out. As I write this I’m again attempting to upload my video tutorial…
Thank you Lisa Curcio for this fun fold idea. I chose to work with the Peaceful Deer bundle because I have to design for the upcoming Peaceful Deer Online Stamp Camp on November 28. You can find details here. The designer series paper was a free Sale-A-Bration product. Sadly, Sale-A-Bration is now closed but there…
A card that has caught my attention recently is one where the front of the card has been cut into a triangle and the cut pieces are used to create three points along the bottom. I first saw this card made by Sam Calcott with Mixed Up Craft. She made a 6″ x 6″ card…
Autumn is my favourite season – it came to be because growing up in Montreal I absolutely loved the changing of the colours; the gorgeous maple leaf trees proudly showing off their glowing yellows, oranges, and reds against the bright blue sky. I chose to use the Gorgeous Leaves stamp bundle for this card. The…
