A video tutorial on how to create an Inside Pop Up Fun Fold Card using the Simply Zinnia Bundle!

Hi Friends!

In February, I showed you how to make this stunning card with an inside pop-up fun fold feature using the Simply Zinnia bundle. Today, I have a replay of that great fun fold for you.




For the original card, I used the Little Monkey bundle. However, I switched to the Zinnia bundle for the video.

How you can start Scrapbooking - quick and easy Scrapbook pages for a beginner!

Hi Friends!

I recently started doing Scrapbooking Classes.

Now, I am not a scrapbooker at heart, but I was asked and it has been a lot of fun so far.

These classes are aimed at anyone who would like to begin scrapbooking, and don't know where to start.

We always do double page layouts, and this is the first set we did back in January.




It uses the Bee My Valentine suite and the now retired Most Adored designer paper from Sale-a-Bration.

This layout is versatile and easy and could be changed for any occasion with different papers and stamps, bundle or suite.

I am happy to offer a PDF Tutorial if you are interested.

Just EMAIL ME and I will get it off to you.  The price is $10 and does NOT include any product, it's just the tutorial.

Creating alternative cards with the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Sweet Springtime. You don't have to create the boxes as designed!

 Hi Friends!

I was finally able to go live on facebook last Tuesday, and create with the February Paper Pumpkin Kit, called Sweet Springtime!

I like to open it online without peeking before hand. Then we go through the bits and bobs, and ideas start to percolate in my mind.

Sometimes I create the projects as designed, and sometime I just head right into some alternative cards. I call that going rogue.

In put is always encouraged from the audience. Sometimes I use their ideas, and some times I don't lol.

Here's the projects we made on Tuesday ....

The first card has a few changes from how it was designed. I added the checkered background and popped up the frame.


This card is totally customized. It was supposed to be a slimline card, but I cut apart the card base, added some sparkly glimmer paper (coming March 5th) and Wink of Stella to the flowers and chicks.


I love this treat holder and will make all 3 of them for my Grandchildren - plus an extra one that I will come up with as we have 4 Grandchildren lol. 

I added some more of the Granny Apple Green Glimmer Paper (an online exclusive coming March 5th) and popped up the top of the bunny and chick.


The March kit - Memorable Meadows - is open now for subscribing or contact me to order your kit today. This beautiful kit coordinates with the Meandering Meadow designer paper and includes a free stamp set (along with the usual one)!

How to create a quick and easy fun fold card using the Lifetime of Love bundle, that is beautiful and elegant.

Hi Friend!

I asked viewers on my facebook page and in my group if they would like me to create a card using the Lifetime Of Love bundle.

The resounding answer was YES and they requested an easy fun fold.

So I created this card (shown below) and made an easy Z fold with a twist.





A bit of gold and some velum makes this card a stunner, and add in some elegant Petal Pink and you get a WOW card that is quick and easy to make.

Do you see the flowers on the front (bottom right corner)?  Well that is the Stained Glass technique, and you can see tips and tricks on how to do it in the video below.

I pre-recorded a video tutorial on my YouTube channel as we are away camping this week.

How to use the Stippled Roses bundle to create a beautiful Triangle Accordion Pocket fun fold card.

Hi Friends!

The Stippled Roses bundle from the Jan-Apr Mini Catalogue from Stampin' Up! is so pretty.

Yes it requires colouring but, it can be quick and easy with Sponge Daubers as I show in the video tutorial below.






This fold is called a Triangle Accordion Pocket fun fold, and although it looks difficult, it's super easy to do! 

It provides many layers of opportunity to add interesting and beautiful elements, plus a pull out pocket card for writing on.

Technique Alert! Rubbing Alcohol and Stampin' Blends make an amazing background technique! Read this for a complete tutorial.

Hi Friends!

I was recently looking for something different to do for some wow factor, so I picked up some vellum, rubbing alcohol and Stampin' Blends and created a piece to do some die cut leaves out of.

I grabbed Wild Wheat, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock blends and these gorgeous leaves are the result.

I used the die from the Painted Lavender bundle along with the fun Thoughtful Moments hybrid embossing folder and coordinating dies.


I did the sentiment out of Rose Gold Foil and added some beautiful Pretty Peacock and Gold ribbon to add more pizzazz, and finished the whole thing off with some Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems.
