There is a really cool frame die in the Gallery Blooms bundle that I decided to play with and come up with a frame card to showcase the gorgeous Designer Series Paper that come sin the Beautiful Gallery Suite of products!

Measurements:
BASE: Mossy Meadow CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
(2) 4″ x 5 1/4″ layers and (1) 3/4″ x 3 1/2″
Basic Beige CS: 1″ x 4 and scrap for the long
thin banner die from Stylish Shapes die set
DSP: 3 1/4″ x 5″

Take the 2 Mossy Meadow 4″ x 5 1/4″ layers and emboss them with the Damask Designs.
Die cut the frame die from the Gallery Blooms die set with one of the layer pieces.

Cut the DSP to 3 1/4″ x 5″.

Stamp the “I miss you already” sentiment from The Right Words sentiment set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic Beige scrap and die cut with the thin long banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set.
Adhere to the Mossy Meadow 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ piece.
Emboss the 1″ x 4 1/4″ Basic Beige piece in the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and adhere the sentiment piece on top of the embossed layer.
Place Stampin’ Dimensionals around the frame layer.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ embossed layer onto the card front leaving even borders the entire way around.
Adhere the DSP layer on the embossed Mossy Meadow layer under the frame and secure the frame with Dimensionals over top the DSP.
Adhere the sentiment piece over the bottom third across the frame.
Adhere three Low Profile Mossy Meadow Sparkle Dots around the sentiment piece to finish off this stunning card that “frames” this gorgeous DSP to perfection!

Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

more color mondays – pumpkin pie, petal pink and balmy blue

by | Jul 14, 2025 | card samples, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, fun fold, more color mondays, online exclusives, techniques

Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge takes it’s cue from the gorgeous Everyday Skies 6″ x 6″ DSP. The sheet on the front of this card is covered in fluffy clouds of Petal pink and light Pumpkin Pie set against a Balmy Blue sky. A perfect summer sky for a summery fun fold card! This card is called a Pop Out Swing Fun Fold and i will show you how easy it is to make!
Follow along and make one of your own!

Measurements:
BASE 1: Balmy Blue CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
BASE 2: Balmy Blue CS: 5 1/2″ x 8″
scored at 2″, 4″ and 6″
DSP: BASE 1 outside layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″
BASE 2 inside layers: (3) 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
Pumpkin Pie CS: scraps for butterfly dies
Petal Pink CS: scraps for butterfly dies

Score BASE 1 at 4 1/4″ and BASE 2 at 2″, 4″, and 6″.

Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Everyday Skies DSP layer to the Balmy Blue BASE 1 card front.

Flip BASE 1 over and adhere one of the Beautiful Bokeh DSP strips to the left-hand edge of the backside.
Die cut the large base butterfly image from the Beautiful Butterflies bundle out of the card front – cutting through both layers on the front and the DSP on the back side.
On BASE 2, place the 5 1/2″ side of the paper at the top edge of the Stampin’ Trimmer, cut at 3/4″ down to the 2″ score line on each side of the paper. Then cut along the 2″ score line in between the cut lines. This will leave two tabs on the top and bottom of this BASE piece.
Adhere the other two 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ Beautiful Bokeh DSP pieces to the second and thrid panels of BASE 2.
Stamp and decorate the Basic White 1 3/4″ layer and adhere to the last panel of BASE 2.
Place Multipurpose liquid glue to the back side of panel 4 and adhere to the right-hand edge of BASE 1 making sure that the outside edges align.
Fold in between panels 2 and 3 and apply liquid glue to the tabs.

Clos ethe card front over the tabs and adhere to the back of the BASE 1 card front. If you lie the BASE 2 flat and bring the BASE 1 card front over it this will ensure that the card will close well after adhering.

With the card closed, apply liquid glue to the inside right panel, the part that is visible through the butterfly die cut out space.
Die cut the butterfly base in Pumpkin Pie CS.
Die cut the butterfly detail die in Petal Pink CS.
Adhere the detailed die to the base with Liquid Glue.
Adhere the completed butterfly die to the right-hand edge that has glue on it – laying the butterfly into the original die negative space.
Once dry this will allow the butterfly to “swing” as the mechanism opens and closes with the card!
I added two smaller butterflies to the inside of the card and Holographic Resin Dots to the outside of the card to finish it off with a llittle sparkle!

You can cut out the front of the card wish any shape! Try a die that you have on hand and see what artwork you can create – one stamp at a time!

mixed media pop out fun fold

mixed media pop out fun fold

by | May 9, 2025 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, fun fold, my favorites, online exclusives, techniques

This is a fun movement card that has two “arms” that swing out from under a DSP covered box.

Measurements:
BASE: Poppy Parade CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Piece #1 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ score at 1/2″ and 1″
Piece #2 2 1/2″ x 3″
Piece #3 1″ x 3 1/4″ scored at 1/2″, 1″ and 2 3/4″
Pieces #4 and 5 (2) 2 1/4″ x 2 3/8″
Piece #6 1 3/8″ x 7 1/2″ scored
DSP
Piece #1 2 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
Piece #2 2 1/4″ x 2 3/4″
Piece #4 and 5 2 1/8″ x 2 1/4″

Take the 1 3/8″ x 7 1/2″ mechanism and score on the 1 3/8″ side at 1/2″ and 1″
turn on the 7 1/2″ side and score at the 2 1/2″ mark from the top score line to the upper edge and score at the 2 1/2″ mark below the bottom line to the bottom edge.

There are three long sections going down the 7 1/2″ side in the 1 3/8″ x 7 1/2″ layer.
Draw a mark 1/2″ inside the small score line.
Draw a line from the mark to the top of the score line on the narrower strip, then draw another line to the bottom of the score line on the equal strip.

Repeat on the other side.

Score the lines with the Take Your Pick tool.

Cut the four corners from the 1 3/8″ x 7 1/2″ piece.
Fold the scored pieces at the drawn lines.
One side will have an extra flap this will be positioned towards the card front. Bend the score line upwards.
Flip the mechanism over so that the extra flap piece is facing downwards and place glue on the top portion of the mechanism as shown in the photo below.
Place the glue side down on the back of the inside of the card – position the mechanism so it is in the center of the card butting up to the score line.
Close the card front and rub in the middle of the card to secure the glue and bottom of the mechanism to the inside of the card.
The center section of the mechanism should have the tab facing upwards at this point.
Place glue on the back center section – NOT ON THE TAB yet! – above the score line on the mechanism as in the photo below – and close the card front to secure the mechanism to the card front.
The mechanism will be secured on each side of the card and have the front tab free and two arms of the mechanism one off to each side.
Adhere the DSP pieces to the Poppy Parade cardstock pieces:
Adhere the 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 DSP piece to the 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ above the score lines.
Adhere the 2 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ DSP piece to the
2 1/2″ X 3″ piece.
Adhere the (2) 2 1/8″ x 2 1/4″ DSP pieces to the 2 1/4″ x 2 3/8″ pieces of cardstock.
Place glue on the left hand arm of the mechanism and position the 2 1/4″ x 2 3/8″ piece with the 2 3/8″ piece along the arm.
Place glue on the right hand arm and glue the 2 3/8″ side of the 2 1/4″ x 2 3/8″ piece to this arm of the mechanism.
Place a thin line of liquid glue to the back edge that is not scored and adhere to the tab on the mechanism.
Fold the mechanism cover at the second score line flatten out the cardstock and place glue on the outer edge and close the card and adhere it to the back portion of the card.
You will need to place the “wings” of the mechanism under the cover before closing the card. This will be the cover for the pop out mechanism!
Take the 1″ x 3 1/4″ cardstock piece and score at 1/2″, 1″ and 2 3/4″
PLace glue on the single tab and place face down in the center of the cover and close the card to secure rubbing over the card to let the glue adhere.
Fold the other side at the second score line and place glue on the first section only. Close the card and secure the cardstock piece to the inside of the card front. It will form a pop up box for the 2 1/2″ x 3″ card stock piece to adhere to.

Place liquid glue to the front of that box.

Lie the 2 1/2″ x 3″ DSP covered piece – face down with the DSP facing down towards the DSP on the cover piece and close the card front and rub on the mechanism to adhere this piece to the upper box.
I stamped two tulip images from the Mixed Florals stamp set and colored them with Poppy Parade, Petal Pink and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends markers and then die cut them.
Now the mechanism and the covers are complete and this is what the card inside will look like.
I cut up one of the tulip images and adhered pieces to the pop out wings of the mechanism so that flowers appear when the pop out is engaged!
I also stamped two sentiments from the Mixed Labels stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and die cut with the sentiment dies from that set.
I placed the “I’m so glad we’re friends on the inside cover of the mechanism.
I adhered the second tulip image to the outside of the card.
I popped up the other sentiment piece on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added Silver edged sheer ribbon around the card for closure.
I added some of the extra tulip pieces leftover from the inside of the card and popped them up over the ribbon to hold it in place and added Basic Grey and Smoky Slate Pearls to the card to finish it off with a little sparkle!

This is a perfect WOW card for that someone special!
Try this or another one of my fun fold tutorials and go create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time.

Happy Stampin’

Emboss the two 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″ layers of Basic White cardstock with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and adhere to the first two panels of the card base.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer of DSP from the Florals in Bloom Suite of products set to debut with the New 2025-2026 Annual Catalog tomorrow!
Score the 3″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″, 3″.

Adhere the first and fifth panel together to form a rectangular box.

Lay the flattened box in the middle of the DSP layer just to the right of the score line. Flatten the box with the edge toward the inside 4 1/4″ fold of the card. Adhere the inside panel just a sliver away from the score line and close the card front and rub so the box adheres to the second panel.
Open the card and place Stampin’ Seal + or Tear-n-Tape on the inside panel of the box next to the DSP. Close the card and rub on the back of the card to adhere the box to the DSP layer of the card.
Die cut the Strawbarry Slush layer with the second largest Textured Notes dies.

Stamp the “bloom” sentiment in Strawberry Slush ink and die cut. Adhere to the top of the rectangle dies on an angle.

Stamp the smaller flowers in Strawberry Slush ink – this is a two step stamping image – so stamp the base image on your grid paper and then stamp the flower “stamped off” image on your cardstock. Stamp the detailed smaller flower over the base in full strength and die cut them out. I stamped three flowers at full strength for some variation.
Arrange them around the Timid Tiger die cut and pop some up on Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add a Darling Duckling bloom with Timid Tiger edge tucked under the Timid Tiger die cut.
Add two of the medium blooms on the inside Strawberry Slush layer.

This is what the Double Decker Pop Up fun fold looks like in a standing position!

I added some small and medium Darling Duckling 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls to the smaller flower centers and Strawberry Slush Pearls around the Bloom sentiment!
I added a large Darling Duckling Pearl to the right hand corner of the Strawberry Slush Double Decker layer to finish this lovely Springtime card!

Cut one of the DSP layers from the corner to 1 1/4″ mark on one side.
Adhere the DSP cut piece to the front of the card base.
Turn down the corner and adhere it down.

Cut 1/4″ off the fat end of the small DSP triangle and adhere to the turned down triangle.
