Sharing art from my heart through making handmade cards and 3D projects! Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Sometimes a scoring mistake isn’t a mistake at all—it’s just a fun fold you haven’t discovered yet! 😊

That’s exactly how this asymmetrical easel card began. Instead of starting over when I realized I had scored my card base incorrectly, I decided to see where my “mistake” would take me.

The beautiful Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper did most of the work, with a few little birds added to the peaceful winter sky—because apparently I do have limits when it comes to restraint. 😂

I’m sharing all of the measurements, scoring details, and my free PDF tutorial on the blog today. I hope you’ll stop by and see how this happy accident came together!

Sometimes the best cards happen when you're just playing! I started with Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral inks and no real plan—then pulled out my neglected Watercolor Pencils to try a blending technique using a tiny bit of Vaseline. Yes, Vaseline! 😊

Before I knew it, I had a hand-stamped background, inked die cuts, one very sweet little bird, and absolutely no idea what card I was making. 😂 This Double Easel Card turned out to be the perfect way to put it all together!

It looks complicated, but I promise the fold is much easier than it appears. I've included measurements, process photos, and my free printable tutorial on the blog.

🍂 A beautiful die can completely change a card design!

For this fall card, I used the Botanical Expressions Die to create the intricate leafy opening, then surrounded it with warm autumn colors and layered sunflowers. I love how the opening gives the card such an unexpected look!

And because those beautiful die-cut leaves are delicate, I found a simple way to give the card front a little extra support. I’m sharing that tip along with all the measurements and instructions in my free PDF tutorial on the blog.

This card is also part of the Stampin’ Pretty Pals Blog Hop, so there’s lots of fall inspiration waiting for you! 🍁

Which catches your eye first—the leafy die-cut or the sunflowers?

🍁 An easy fun fold + beautiful fall colors? Yes, please!

Today’s card is an A2 Z-fold featuring layered maple leaves, warm autumn colors, and lots of little details that give it dimension without making it difficult to create.

And this card has a bit of a story! My first version wasn’t bad at all, but something kept bothering me. One simple change made all the difference—and I’m sharing both versions in today’s post.

There’s also a FREE PDF tutorial with the measurements and step-by-step instructions so you can give this fold a try!

Would you believe this card folds completely flat for mailing? 🤯

I hadn't made a bendy card in quite a while, and this Bendy Shadow Box Card was too much fun to pass up! I used the beautiful Fern & Flora Bundle with Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper for an autumn-inspired card with lots of dimension.

The best part? As impressive as it looks standing up, it folds flat as a pancake for mailing!

I’m sharing all the measurements, instructions, and a few helpful tips on my blog—including the trick to getting that bendy band just right.

🍂 Take a look and let me know: Have you ever made a bendy card?

🌻 This card looks much harder than it is!

I pulled out the beautiful Radiant Sunflowers Bundle and Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper to make a Triple Point fun fold—and I had forgotten just how easy this fold is.

I have all the measurements and step-by-step instructions on the blog today, along with a FREE printable PDF tutorial. And there’s lots more fun-fold inspiration waiting for you in today’s blog hop!

Come take a look and give this one a try! 🌻

Apparently, I have reached the stage of grandparenthood where I know exactly which child I'm picking up from kindergarten...I just can't remember his name. 😂
Poor Noah. I keep telling the school I'm there for his DAD, Adam!

Thankfully, I had a little more success in the craft room. My August Paper Pumpkin kit showed up before I'd even touched July's, so that was my sign to get busy!
I made two completely different cards—a pretty floral wreath and a monochromatic easel card with LOTS of texture.

I'm sharing both cards, measurements, and step-by-step instructions on the blog today. And if you've never made a wreath card, I've got a simple trick that makes it so much easier!

Take a peek and tell me—which card is your favorite, #1 or #2?

Have you ever gone shopping in your own craft room? 😂

That's exactly what happened when I rediscovered the Heirloom Arrangements Kit during my recent stash cleanout. I had only used it once, but those beautiful butterflies deserved another chance!

I turned the kit into this easy Pinwheel Tower fun fold, and I love how it turned out. It looks impressive, but I promise—it's much easier than it looks!

Even better, the Heirloom Arrangements Kit is currently in the Last Chance section for only $16. Yes, I may have put another one in my cart. 😂

When I saw that this month’s Blog Hop theme was “Animal House,” I knew I wanted to play with the adorable animals in the Christmas Crew stamp set. But why should these little guys have all the fun at Christmas? I decided to make a Christmas card first, then see if I could stretch those same adorable images into something completely different. And that’s how a Christmas bear ended up on a birthday card!

Guess what? My new preorder arrived Wednesday, and I couldn’t resist playing with the beautiful Sunflower Fields Suite! 🌻

I had a completely different card planned for today’s Creative Creases challenge, but these new goodies won. 😂

This easy fun fold is perfect for showing off beautiful Designer Series Paper—and it’s simple enough to make when you’re short on time or just getting started with fun folds.

I love when a card looks more complicated than it really is!

Come see the card, the fun fold, and why I think you’ll want to give this one a try. ❤️
