Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge features a SNEAK PEAK debuting with tomorrow’s New Catalog release of the May – August 2026 catalog.

This Tuck and Reveal Fun Fold card is filled with color and contrast! The Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper builds color on this easy fun fold and the Black and White stamped and punched out butterflies from the All Aflutter Punch Bundle provide fun and easy contrast.

Measurements:
BASE: Real Red CS: 4 1/4″ x11″ scored at 5 1/2″
cut at 2 1/2″ from the card front, 3″ x 4 1/4″,
2 1/4″ square
Timid Tiger CS: 2 7/8″ x 4 1/8″
Lemon Lolly CS: 2 3/4″ x 4″, scrap for large
banner die from Stylish Shapes
DSP: 2 1/4″ 4″, 2 5/8″ x 3 7/8″, 2″ square
Basic White CS: scrap for punch, 4″ x 5 1/4″

Score your 4 1/4″ x 11″ Real Red cardstock at 5 1/2″ then cut 3″ off the front side of the card.

Save the cut portion for the front flap piece.

Adhere the 2 1/4″ x 4″ DSP layer top the front flap.
Take the 3″ piece cut off the card front and layer the Timid Tiger CS piece to the Real Red piece. Then adhere the Lemon Lolly CS layer to the Timid Tiger layer. Then adhere the 2 5/8″ DSP layer to the Lemon Lolly piece.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer to the inside of the card.
Cut the 2 1/4″ Real red square in half diagonally and then 2″ DSP square in half diagonally as well. Adhere the DSP triangle to the Real red triangle.

Cut the larger Banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies set from the Lemon Lolly scrap.

Take a Basic White scrap and stamp the butterfly detail stamp twice from the All Aflutter in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and punch out the three butterfly arrays.

Turn over the DSP triangle and glue the bottom and side edges with thin strips of glue.
Adhere the DSP triangle to the lower right hand corner of the inside of the card. Allow to dry.
Lay the multi-layered DSP piece under the open triangle piece “tucked under” and then position the layer so it is evenly spaced on the card front.
Tear a 3M sticky note in half and stick the note right to the right edge of the front flap marking the area where the flap ends. TIP: Once you remove the DSP layer and turn over this piece – the sticky notes will indicate where it is safe to place the adhesive!
Now turn over that layer and place adhesive from the edge of the layer up to the sticky note line.
Turn the layer back over the line up the sticky notes to the edge of the front panel and then rub the area of adhesive to burnish the adhesive to the flap.
Remove the sticky notes. Now your cross flap is attached! This layer can now be tucked under the triangular piece to secure the card closed!
Tuck the cross flap under the triangle and then you can place the sentiment piece where it will not interfere with the tuck mechanism.

Pop up the sentiment banner and place on the cross flap.

Add your black and white punched butterflies to the card – I added three around the sentiment to the left and one on the triangle to the right!

I finished the card off the Lemon Lolly Array of Dots embellishments.

This is a very fun interactive fun fold – try the Tuck and Reveal fun fold with your stash – now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Remember this is a SNEAK PEAK of tomorrow’s new catalog debut so the sneak peak items will not be listed in the photo links below because the catalog is not live to customers until tomorrow!

Happy Stampin’,

last onstage swap to share – fun fold #4 swap

last onstage swap to share – fun fold #4 swap

by | May 1, 2026 | card samples, card swap, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, fun fold, gift card holder, masculine cards, my favorites, retiring products, stamps ink paper, techniques

Well I saved the best for last – I participated in 4 specially organized swaps by my friend Michael D. at OnStage this past March in Long Beach, California. This was Fun Fold swap #4 and I love the ideas and diversity of the swap!

The first swap card I have to show you Ann O. used the Easter Basket stamp set which is on the LAST CHANCE LIST and still available as I wrote this yesterday! She used sweet pastel colors of Pretty in Pink and Balmy Blue for a pull out gift card design. She used our Take Your Pick tool’s crafter’s tips to perforate two of the edges for the outer holder. Such a cute design!

Lola R. made a Homemade Sweetness extended Z-fold using the Homemade Sweetness Suite of products and both the Made with Sweetness dies and the Filled with Sweetness bundle. Lots of lovely layers and detail!
My next swap example is from Judy K. and features the current Garden Poetry Suite of Products with the lovely Garden Poetry DSP and the embossing folder both inside and out which adds such depth and dimension, and I love the color combination of Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green.
My entry used the Swirled Designs Bundle and the Splash of Sparkles DSP with a slider card fun fold!
The next swap card is from Michelle R and is one of my favorite easy fun folds. You just cut the card front on half and twist it and use it as the matte for the top flap. Michelle used the Turtely-Cute Suite of products which is still available when I last checked but is on the LAST CHANCE LIST!
Easel cards are always a WOW for me and not difficult to make (check out the instructions on how to make one in my 11-19-2025 post “winter meadow easel card”) Yolanda N. featured the Beach Boardwalk DSP which is still current and the Boardwalk Fun Bundle which is unfortunately sold out! This card is so stinkin’ cute though!
Another Turtle-y Cute entry from Sandy R uses a little slider technique – open the door and you get a turtle-y surprise!
Joanne J. used a gorgeous palette of Old Olive and Basic Beige with the Discontinued Beautiful Gallery DSP and the sentiment is from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set for a Corner Tuck fun fold card. Just Lovely!
The new and very popular Delicate Dreams Suite of products was used by Robyn B. for this double box display fun fold card. This suite is so popular it is currently unavailable but expected back in stock shortly. Did you know that we added a feature on our shopping website that if the product is out of stock you can ask for an email notification when it returns! Sign up now to be notified if this suite is on your list – it’s on mine!

This card folds flat to send in a normal sized envelope but stands for display when opened! SO FUN!!

My last swap card is from Joy N. and features the Nature’s walk Suite Collection, the Nature’s walk DSP and the Nature’s Symphony Bundle. This Z-Fold Flap card will be highlighted in an upcoming blog post coming soon!
I hope these gave you inspiration to try a new fun fold soon they certainly inspired me!

Now it is your turn to go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

april stampin’ up! creative challenge

april stampin’ up! creative challenge

by | Apr 8, 2026 | card samples, masculine cards, sneak peak, stamps ink paper, techniques

Do you know that Stampin’ Up! sponsors a creative challenge every month?

April features a challenge to use two different coloring tools! Will you rise to the challenge? If you create a card or project using this challenge post it on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #SUCREATIVECHALLENGE see Stampin’ Up’s video announcing the new challenge by going to this link

Here’s my card for the challenge using water painters and blending brushes two of my favorites!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ , scrap for
the die
Granny Apple Green CS: 1/4″ x 4″ strip scrap for
leaf die
Vellum CS: scrap for Spotlight on Nature circle
die

I combined some OLD AND NEW PRODUCTS – some LAST CHANCE items – Petals of Beauty dies and some sneak peak Phrases and Frames bundle…

I die cut the middle die from the Phrases and Frames bundle and used the frame and the inside piece. I blended the lower right-hand corner of the inside piece.

I added a drop of ink refill to my glass mat and added water to the drop from my Water Painter. I diluted the drop so it was very watery and tapped the edge of the water painter over the blending brush handle over the blended rectangular piece to add a splatter effect! Such an easy effect with HUGE impact!
I blended the Granny Apple Green onto the card front.
Adhere the rectangle to the card base off to the right-hand side of center.
Die cut the open leaf die from the Petals of Beauty die set in Granny Apple Green CS – cut into two sections and add glue to the frame and add the leaf sections under the frame on bottom and top corners. Adhere over the rectangle.
Die cut one of the circles from the Spotlight in Nature die set in Vellum CS and stamp the Thinking of You sentiment from the Phrases and Frames stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink and blend the edges.
Adhere the Granny Apple Green strip over the bottom of the vellum circle. Add glue under the vellum where the strip is to adhere to the card without the glue being visible.
Add the vellum circle onto the card.
Add a black accent from the Floral Flight Accents upcoming in the new catalog from the Beautiful Ordinary Life suite of products.
Add an extra Petals of Beauty leaf die.
Add embellishments to finish the card.

Coloring tools can add a lot to a card do not discount the little details can make a BIG difference!

Here is the same card design using a different Floral Flight accent!

Such fun! Try this #SUCREATIVECHALLENGE today and see what you can create – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

happy birthday onstage swap cards

happy birthday onstage swap cards

by | Apr 1, 2026 | card samples, card swap, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, fun fold, In Colors, masculine cards, stamps ink paper, techniques

For the last three years I have participated in an organized OnStage swap event headed by my friend Micheal D. out of New Jersey. It takes a tremendous amount of effort and work to organize the swap and I am forever grateful that he continues to do them. The cards are awesome and it is so nice to see other demonstrators ideas and designs!

This was Birthday Swap #4 and each one of the swaps has 10 participants we make 11 cards one for Michael as a thank you for being the organizer and we get 9 different designs plus one of our own back!

Here are my birthday swap cards and a special happy birthday to my friend Jodi who is an April Fools baby!

My first swap card did not come with the demonstrator designer’s information (I received two like that so I am sorry I cannot give credit for this one. It is a fun fold card done with the Turtle-y Awesome Suite Collection and the Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper! This is such an easy fun fold cut a section off the right hand side of the card front and turn it 90 degrees and attach to the left hand side of the card front that is still attached – add DSP and decorations and you are done – easy peasy!

The second anonymous swap card features the Eyelet 3D embossing folder in Basic White CS set on Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue CS to match the origami fold on the front focal point with the Mixed Up Patterns DSP.
The next swap card is a match book fun fold with a clever latch designed by Anne O. from Hawaii! The flap on the bottom tucks under the focal point on the card front which uses the Love Notes Mix and Match DSP for easy card making.
This Floral Charm DSP card uses the Pretty Florals stamp set for the flowers inside and out and the Simply Said Sentiment set for the words both of these stamp sets are on the Last Chance list and is a great all purpose sentiment set Simply Said #169057 it is low inventory so if you want it order soon!) (Pretty Florals stamp set is on sale for $13.30 from $19 #165177 and the coordinating dies are on sale for $29.60 from $37 #165178)
This is another swap on the Last Chance List this Turtle-y Cute DSP card (#165221 is on sale for $7.50 from $12.50) from Patti Jean W and so super cute!
This Birthday swap card from Joanne J. uses the Florals in Bloom DSP and the In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP
Kathy S’s OnStage Swap card uses the relatively new Cute as a Bug Suite Collection for this adorable center flap fun fold card!
My OnStage swap card featured the More Color Mondays card from back in January on the 19th for a great vellum technique and fun with the Petals of Beauty dies and the Beautiful Motifs bundle!
Andrea R.’s birthday swap card used the Cutest Crew stamps, Nature’s Symphony and Spotlight on Nature Dies, Pleasant Patterns DSP (on sale in Last Chance #166950 $9.00 originally $10) and the Delicate Dreams DSP. She also used the Damask Designs Embossing Folder which is on Last Chance as well #165214 $8.55 now originally $9.50.
Karen T. made this elegant and simple DSP card using the Delicate Dreams DSP and the sentiment is from the Simply Said sentiment Last Chance list set.

Love looking at other’s layouts, their color coordination and choices that they make – whether it is an over the top or simply stamped card they are all unique and give me plenty of ideas to discover!

Hope these inspired you – now it is your turn to go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

This card sketch inspired 4 cards from this one sheet of gorgeous Thoughtful Journey DSP this was a carryover product last year and I do not anticipate that it will be carried over again so If you love watercolor landscaped images get this paper before it is gone!

Card sketch #119. is here and what will you do with it – so many possibilities!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: (2) pieces of 8 1/2″ x 11″
Score one at 4 1/4″ and then cut on the 11″
side at 5 1/2″, score the other at 5 1/2″ and
then cut at 4 1/4″
(4) 3 1/4″ squares, scraps for sentiments
DSP: (1) 6″ x 6″ sheet cut into (4) 3″ squares
then cut each 3″ square into (3) 1″ strips
Mossy Meadow CS: (4) 3 1/2″ squares

Emboss each of the card fronts of the card bases in the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder.

Cut each of the 3″ squares into 1″ strips, keeping in order adhere them to the 3 1/4″ Basic White squares.
Adhere each of the 3 1/4″ white squares to the 3 1/2″ Mossy Meadow CS squares.
Adhere the first square to the center of one of the embossed card fronts.
Stamp a sentiment from the Wonderful Thoughts Bundle and then die cut around the words. Adhere to the card front over the DSP.
Do the same for the rest of the cards! I added a few left over die cuts from a previous card from the Springtime Scenes die set on the last card!
two different card orientations but basically the same sketch!
Adhere three Natural Matte Dots to finish off the card with some coordinating embellishments. These gender neutral cards are perfect for ANY occasion just by changing the sentiment and the Wonderful Thoughts bundle is a great all sentiment set.

Check these items out before they leave!
Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
