Gears & Textures Fun Fold Card Tutorial with Industrial Layered Gear Design

Hi Friends!

This week I shared a bold and dimensional fun fold card using the Gears & Textures bundle, and it is such a fantastic option for masculine cards or anyone who loves industrial-inspired designs.

Layering the gear dies creates incredible depth and movement on the front of the card. I combined textured stamped backgrounds with plaid designer paper and chain elements to add visual interest without overwhelming the design. The mix of strong shapes and softer circular textures keeps everything balanced while still making a statement.

If masculine cards feel challenging, this bundle makes it easy. The dies do most of the heavy lifting, and with a few dimensionals and thoughtful placement, you can create a card that feels detailed and intentional.

You can watch the full tutorial in the replay and see exactly how this fun fold comes together step by step.

Twisted Easel Fun Fold Birthday Card with Lovely Arrangements Bundle

Hi Friends!

This week’s card is a Twisted Easel fun fold, which means it stands beautifully for display and folds flat for mailing. If you’ve never tried this style before, it’s a fantastic way to add an interactive element without complicated scoring.

The botanical background brings movement and interest immediately. Instead of covering it completely, I framed it with a stitched rectangle panel to give the eye a resting place and create a strong focal area.

The white floral image layered over green leaves keeps the design clean while still feeling detailed. Because the patterned paper is fairly bold, keeping the focal flower mostly neutral allows the card to feel balanced rather than busy.

The navy patterned strip on the left adds vertical structure and grounds the design. A soft ribbon bow introduces texture and softness, while a few embellishments finish the card without overwhelming it.

This is a layout you can easily adapt:
– Change the sentiment for sympathy or thank you
– Swap the patterned paper for a more subtle background
– Use different color combinations for seasonal variations

If you missed the live demonstration, you can watch the full replay on YouTube (link below). I walk through the measurements, layering order, and design reasoning so you can recreate this card or make it your own.

Floral cards never go out of style — and the Lovely Arrangements bundle makes layering simple and elegant.

Brushed With Beauty Bundle Birthday Card Tutorial with Layered Greenery

 Hi Friends!

This week in the craft room I created a fresh and elegant birthday card using the Brushed With Beauty bundle, and I absolutely love how the layers came together on this design.

The layout is a horizontal layered style that allows the die-cut greenery to really shine. By placing the detailed foliage over a soft patterned yellow background, the card feels bright and cheerful without being overwhelming. The neutral cream panel in the center helps ground the design and keeps the eye focused on the sentiment.

One of my favorite things about this card is how versatile it is. The structure stays the same, but you could easily switch out the designer paper, change the foliage colours, or swap the sentiment for something like “Thank You” or “Just Because.” It’s the kind of layout that becomes a go-to design once you’ve made it once.

During the live demonstration, I shared tips on:

• Balancing layered die cuts so they don’t feel bulky

• Using subtle dimension for depth without too much height

• Keeping horizontal layouts visually grounded

If you missed the live demo, you can watch the replay below. ... 

The Brushed With Beauty bundle is such a beautiful option for elegant cards with a modern feel, and this project is a perfect example of how simple layering can create a professional-looking finish.

If you give this layout a try, I’d love to see your version!

Elegant Floral Thank You Card Using the Brushed With Beauty Bundle

 Hi Friends!

There’s something timeless about a soft floral card, and this week’s project using the Brushed With Beauty bundle is exactly that — elegant, layered, and surprisingly simple to create.

For this design, I combined a subtle embossed background with gentle ink blending to create a soft blush glow behind the focal point. The textured base adds depth without overpowering the floral image, allowing the layered yellow bloom and green leaves to stand out beautifully.

One of my favourite things about this card is how versatile it is. The “I Appreciate You” sentiment makes it perfect as a thank you card, but this layout could easily be adapted for birthdays, thinking-of-you cards, or encouragement. Simply swap the greeting and you have a whole new look.

During the live demonstration, I walk through:
– How to blend ink lightly over an embossed background
– Tips for layering stamped florals for dimension
– How to keep your design balanced with clean white space

If you missed the live demonstration, you can watch the replay on YouTube.

This is a wonderful card layout to keep in your “go-to” file for when you need something elegant but not complicated.

Lovely Arrangements Fun Fold Card with Interactive Layers

 Hi Friends!

Today’s card features the Lovely Arrangements bundle and a fun fold design that adds movement and interest without being difficult to create. This card was inspired by a design shared by Carolyn Dieleman at our recent Vancouver Island Demonstrator get-together, and I loved how easily it could be adapted with different colours and papers.

Fun fold cards are a wonderful way to surprise the recipient, and this one opens beautifully to reveal space for a heartfelt message while still folding flat for mailing. The Lovely Arrangements images work perfectly for this style of card, adding soft florals and layered detail.

If you missed the live demonstration, you can watch the replay on my YouTube channel to see exactly how this card comes together step by step. I hope this project inspires you to try a fun fold the next time you sit down to stamp.

Elegant Greenery Card Using the Greenery Lane Bundle and Nature Walk DSP

 Hi Friends!

This handmade card was created using the Stampin’ Up! Greenery Lane bundle paired with Nature Walk Designer Series Paper, and it’s a great example of how natural elements and layered greenery can create a calm, elegant design.

For this project, I focused on letting the greenery take centre stage while keeping the overall layout clean and balanced. The layered leaves add depth and movement, while the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper brings in subtle pattern and warmth without overpowering the focal point. This combination works beautifully for many occasions and is especially nice when you want a card that feels thoughtful and timeless.

One of the things I love about working with greenery is how versatile it is. By changing the sentiment or colours slightly, this same layout could easily be adapted for birthdays, thank-you cards, sympathy, or encouragement. The key is giving the layers enough space so each element can be appreciated.

This card was created during a live stamping demonstration where I shared tips for layering die cuts, choosing focal points, and balancing patterned paper with solid cardstock. If you’ve ever struggled with knowing how much is “just enough,” this project is a great one to watch.

The full video replay is included below so you can follow along step by step and create this card at your own pace.

Fragrant Layers Card with a Vellum Background Technique

 Hi Friends!

Today’s card is all about soft layers, gentle color, and letting your die cuts shine. For this project, I used the Fragrant Layers bundle paired with a vellum background technique that creates a beautiful, dreamy backdrop without overpowering the design.

Vellum can sometimes feel tricky to work with, but when it’s used this way, it adds just the right amount of color and interest while keeping the card light and elegant. The layered florals from Fragrant Layers really stand out against the translucent background, making this card perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or anytime you want something a little extra special.

During the live demonstration, I shared tips for adhering vellum cleanly, choosing color combinations that blend well, and building layered focal points that don’t feel bulky. This is one of those cards that looks intricate, but once you see the steps, it comes together beautifully.

If you missed the live demo, be sure to watch the replay — I walk through the entire process and share ideas for adapting this technique to other stamp sets and occasions.

Elegant Floral Birthday Card Using the Fragrant Layers Bundle

 Hi Friends!

Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers bundle, and it’s a perfect example of how layered florals can create a beautiful impact without feeling busy or overwhelming.

For this project, I focused on keeping the design soft, balanced, and elegant, letting the floral elements do the heavy lifting. The layered flowers add depth and interest, while the gentle colour palette keeps everything feeling light and cohesive. This is one of those card designs that works well for birthdays but can easily be adapted for many other occasions just by switching out the sentiment.

One of the things I really love about the Fragrant Layers bundle is how flexible it is. You can create a very detailed, layered look, but you’re still in control of how simple or elaborate the final card becomes. By framing the floral elements and giving them a little breathing room on the background, the design stays clean and polished instead of crowded.

This card was created during a live stamping demonstration, where I walked through the process step by step and shared tips for layering, placement, and keeping everything visually balanced. It’s a great project if you enjoy floral cards but sometimes struggle with knowing when to stop adding elements.

If you’re watching the replay, pay special attention to how the layers build gradually — that’s often the key to creating cards that feel intentional rather than accidental.

The full video replay is included below so you can watch along and create at your own pace. Whether you’re using the Fragrant Layers bundle or adapting these ideas with supplies you already have, I hope this project inspires you to enjoy the process and trust your creative choices.

Peaceful Dock Card with a Stamped Background Using the Boat Image

 Hi Friends!

For this Peaceful Dock card, I focused on creating a background using one simple image. By stamping the boat image multiple times, the background takes on a layered, textured look that feels calm and cohesive without overwhelming the design.

This is a great technique for stretching your stamp sets and creating interest without extra layers or embellishments. It works especially well with scenic images and can easily be adapted using stamps you already have in your collection.

The video tutorial below goes over all the supplies and measurements needed for the card, along with tips for spacing and alignment when creating a stamped background.

As a bonus during the live demonstration, I also created a birthday card using Pride flag colours, designed completely on the fly. This card wasn’t planned ahead of time — it came together organically during the live, and the new Stampin’ Positioner Tool made it easy to line up the images while adjusting the design as I went. It was a fun, creative moment that shows how powerful it can be to simply trust the process and let inspiration guide you.

Peaceful Dock Card Using Stampin’ Up! January Online Exclusives

 Hi Friends!

A few days ago, I shared a peaceful cardmaking demonstration featuring the Peaceful Dock bundle, part of the January Online Exclusives from Stampin’ Up! This card is all about calm, quiet moments and makes a beautiful choice for sympathy cards, thinking-of-you cards, or encouragement.

The Peaceful Dock bundle is wonderfully versatile, and this project is the first of three different cards I’m creating with it. Each one highlights a different way to use the images and elements while keeping that serene, waterfront feel.

The video tutorial below walks you through the full process and goes over all the supplies and measurements needed for the card. Be sure to watch the replay, and don’t forget to subscribe to my blog so you never miss a new cardmaking project or tutorial.

Thank you so much for watching today’s tutorial. If you enjoyed the project, I’d love to have you subscribe to my YouTube channel. It’s the easiest way to stay connected with all my new cardmaking tutorials, stamping tips, and live demonstrations.
