VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Friends of the Ocean Window Sheet Card + 5 Bonus Card Ideas

Create a unique card with a Window Sheet card base that you can see through! Layer designer paper on the front and on a notecard inside to showcase coordinating images -- like those in the Friends of the Ocean Designer Paper.

I die cut images from the designer paper for the focal images on this card. The Soft Wave Embossing Folder adds texture to both punched circles. And the detailed seaweed on the front has been die cut from the Pastel Ombre Glitter Paper for a touch of sparkle!

Inside: Add a panel of designer paper to the back of the card front to cover up the adhesive from the front layer.

Watch the replay of my 12 Days of Christmas tutorial for tips on creating this card with a Window Sheet:

9 Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Card Ideas + 3 Video Tutorials

When Stampin' Up! added more products to the Sale-a-bration offering in early February, I was surprised to see a couple stamp sets from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog -- especially the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set! For just a few more days (until Sale-a-Bration ends on Friday, February 28), you can order the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies, Beautiful Bokeh Designer Paper, and Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix and choose the coordinating stamp set as your FREE Sale-a-Bration gift!

Here are some Beautiful Butterflies card ideas to inspire you with this new suite!

I created this card with a Clear Envelope and a piece of Window Sheet to create a shaker card front using the new Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. I included some small die cut butterflies with the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix inside the clear envelope.

Watch the replay of my 12 Days of Christmas video for tips on creating the Shaker Card Front Card with a Clear Envelope.

I used the unique die in the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle to create this card with a butterfly-shaped flap! This card is CASEd from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog. 

Watch the replay of my unboxing video tutorial to follow along.

Mom and I featured the Beautiful Bokeh Suite in this week's Sunday Stamping videos. I used the hybrid embossing folder to emboss and die cut a piece of designer paper and then used the pieces to create two different cards.

For the first card, I used the die cut butterfly to create a "pull through" card with a slit created with the long label punch. I used a full card on the inside, but realized that if you don't know to pull the butterfly through -- it just "sticks" to the top of the inside card and it looks like the card just opens like a normal card. 

If you use a single layer of white cardstock inside, you won't have that problem, but there is less room to write your message.

For the second card, I embossed and die cut a second butterfly from Basic White cardstock. I added Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink, and Calypso Coral ink to the embossing folder using a blending brush and sponge daubers and then spritzed with water to create the watercolor effect. I used a Dark Calypso Coral Stampin' Blend to add color to the body.

Watch the replay of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie for tips on how I created these cards.

VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Festive Flurry Z-Fold Slit Card Template & Tutorial

When Stampin' Up! says "while supplies last", they mean it! It's always hard this time of year to share projects using retiring products because there's a good chance that it will be gone before I have a chance to share it. That's the case with today's project. The Joyful Flurry stamp set, coordinating dies, and Storybook Gnomes Designer Paper have all sold out. Whether you already have them or you substitute similar products from your own collection, I hope today's project inspires you to create this fun fold card that will be sure to delight your family and friends!

 
Many thanks to Wanda McIntyre who inspired me with her beautiful Dragonfly Garden card and the template. You can see her version of the card video tutorial below! (And many thanks to Laura's Craft Closet for inspiring Wanda's card!)

Z-Fold Slit Card Measurements:

• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Balmy Blue Cardstock, cut & score according to template (below)
• (2) 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" Storybook Gnomes Designer Paper
