His and Hers Double Z Fold Cards + VIDEO Tutorial

Last week, I shared a free online class and showed you some basic card-making folds, including two fun folds: Gate Folds and Z Folds. Many other fun fold cards start with a basic fold and build from it. Here is one example. The Double Z Fold Card combines two pieces of cardstock that are scored in a similar way.

I made two version of the Double Z Fold Card using retiring products from the January-June Mini Catalog. There are only two more days left to get your last chance favorites before they're gone! Don't wait! Everything including stamp sets are only available while supplies last! Shop Last Chance Products

The first one uses the Peaceful Poppies Designer Paper and coordinating Peaceful Poppies Die Cut Elements. It's so easy to combine these two to make cards!

Free Online Class: 12 Quick & Easy Fun Fold Cards

I had so much fun sharing the Double Wonder Cards last month that I wanted to do another online class. I started by showing the basic card-making folds and then introduced two fun folds: the Z Fold and the Gate Fold. We added some simple designer layering layer to make 12 cards in one hour.

Watch the replay of my Facebook Live and follow along to make your own set of cards:

Here are the supplies you'll need: Supplies: Paper Trimmer [152392] –– http://bit.ly/2WVprpz (1) 12" x 12" Designer Paper (I used Dinoroar Designer Series Paper [155882] –– https://bit.ly/2M9CZZX) (6) 8-1/2" x 11" Colored Cardstock for Card Bases (I used Old Olive) (2) 8-1/2" x 11" Colored Cardstock for Layers (I used Pool Party) (2) 8-1/2" x 11" White or Vanilla Cardstock

Use the cutting and scoring measurements on the Basic Card-Making Folds Instruction Sheet (.pdf) for the card bases. Then add the designer paper and cardstock layers.

Easy Layering Measurements: 3" x 4" Designer Paper 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" Whisper White Cardstock (Cut down the middle at 4-1/4" and then cut each side into 3-1/4" pieces.)

After the class, I die cut some dinosaurs from the Dinoroar designer paper using the Dino Dies and added them to my cards.

All of the sentiments on these cards came from the #ShareSunshine PDF. I used different dies and punches to punch out the sentiments from the 15 page document.

This digital stamp set is packed with both lighthearted and thoughtful sentiments and imagery relevant to the unique COVID-19 and social distancing situation we are currently in. You can use the download in your cardmaking and papercrafting projects. Simply print the imagery on cardstock and cut it out using Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Trimmer, punches, or dies. Since we are physically distanced from each other, now is a perfect time to share sunshine with our friends and family by sending cards!

As part of Stampin’ Up!’s Making a Difference program, 100% of the Share Sunshine PDF Download proceeds will go to COVID-19 efforts. The #ShareSunshine PDF is only available until June 2, so don't wait!

VIDEO: Dandelion Wishes Notecard Holder Tutorial

Make clean and simple notecards and package them in an easy folder to give as a gift! This classic project works for any occasion with any stamp set. I am highlighting the retiring Bokeh Dots stamp set and the returning Dandelion Wishes stamp set.  Make sure to get all of your retiring favorites before they are gone next week!

Here is the front of the Note Card Folder. I used the Detailed Trio Punch to punch the holes on the sides to thread the ribbon that ties it closed.

When you open the folder, there are two pockets that hold 2 note cards and envelopes on each side. The Note Cards & Envelopes come in a package of 20, so you can get 5 gifts from one package.

Here is the clean and simple notecard. Don't forget to stamp the envelope to match!

Try It All! Reserve Your New Catalog Product Share Now!

I have had many requests in the last week, so I wanted to share information about my popular product shares for the new Annual Catalog.

Whenever a new catalog comes out, I have a hard time deciding what to order first. I want it ALL! As always, the catalog photos don't do the new designer paper justice. They are gorgeous in person!
