Explore the Magic of Double Z Fun Fold Cards: Creative Techniques Revealed

 Hi Friends!

Let the adventure begin—with paper, ink, and a touch of crafty magic! Today I’m finally sharing the fun fold card I created during a live demonstration back in February, featuring the Adventure Together bundle. It’s a double Z fun fold card, and it’s bursting with personality and scenic charm.




From the adorable pink and purple motorhome, to the cozy campfire and forest backdrop, this card is ready to inspire wanderlust and warm hearts. Whether you're crafting for a camper, an outdoorsy friend, or someone who loves a good road trip, the Adventure Together bundle has you covered.

Now here's the exciting part—this bundle is currently on the Last Chance List, so if you’ve had your eye on it, don’t wait. Pro tip: it’s actually cheaper right now to buy the stamp set and dies separately rather than as a bundle. Gotta love a crafty deal!

At the end of this post, you’ll find the link to the full video tutorial, where I walk you through each step of creating this fun and interactive card. The double Z fun fold is a showstopper, but I promise it’s easier to make than it looks. You’ll want to make more than one, especially with how perfectly this layout works with the playful outdoor images in this set.

How to Create a Quick and Easy Sunrise Sailing Card Tutorial You Can't Miss!

Hi Friends!

Ahoy, crafty friends! I set sail in the craft room during my Monday live stamping demonstration with this serene and sunny Best Wishes card, created using the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Bundle. This bundle is perfect for capturing peaceful nautical vibes and summer adventures, and I loved how this card came together.



We used soft seaside colors, a bright sun to anchor the design, and detailed sailboats that look like they're gliding right into a new beginning. The stamped and die-cut elements work beautifully together in the hybrid bundle, making this a go-to for masculine cards, retirement cards, birthday wishes, or even just to say “thinking of you.”

If you missed the live session, no worries—I’ve linked the full video tutorial below so you can craft along with me anytime. I share step-by-step instructions and tips for layering, ink blending, and getting crisp, clean results with this bundle.

This card is part of my ongoing Sunset & Silhouette Series, where I feature bold silhouettes and dramatic skies to create high-impact cards with easy techniques.

So grab your crafty supplies and join me for a relaxing sail through paper and ink. I hope this project inspires you to create your own coastal scenes with the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Bundle.

 Hello, crafty friends!

I’m so excited to share the card I created during today’s live stamping demonstration. If you missed the fun, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered with all the creative details and a video tutorial below.

This gorgeous handmade card features the Coneflower Celebrations bundle, a favorite for its beautiful floral images and coordinating dies. I paired it with the Everyday Arches dies, adding an elegant touch to the card design. Together, these products create a look that’s fresh, fun, and perfect for any occasion.


The card base is soft yet sophisticated, and I used a combination of inks to make the coneflowers pop. The arch shapes bring balance and style to the layout, framing the focal point beautifully. For extra dimension, I layered die cuts and added a few embellishments to make the card sparkle.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cardmaker, this project is a great way to stretch your creativity. The Coneflower Celebrations bundle is versatile and pairs well with other sets, while the Everyday Arches dies add a unique structure to any design.

How to Make a Scenic Handmade Card with Everyday Arches and Splendid Autumn Paper

 Hi Friends!

What do you get when you mix peaceful forest vibes with one perfect arch die? A card that makes people stop and say… wow.


This card was inspired by the fabulous Mary Deatherage, and I just had to put my own spin on it. 

The Everyday Arches bundle is the star of the show again, paired with the Splendid Autumn designer paper—which has this gorgeous painted landscape that reminded me of a walk through the woods at dusk. 

I stamped the trees from the Adventure Together stamp set, added some torn paper texture, and suddenly, it felt like a little postcard from a cozy getaway. Simple techniques, but the impact is big. This design is perfect for sending a cheerful hello, especially to someone who loves nature as much as you do.

If you’ve been eyeing the Everyday Arches dies or looking for new ways to use your scenic paper stash, don’t miss this one. I’ll be sharing all the how-tos, tips, and tricks during one of my upcoming live stamping sessions — come craft along and say hello!

Supplies Used:

Stamps and Bundles:  Everyday Arches Bundle, Adventure Together stamp set

Ink:  Secret Sea, Cajun Craze

Paper: Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Splendid Autumn DSP, 

Other: Faux Glass Dots, Wink of Stella

How to Create a Stunning Handmade Card with Gallery Blooms and Everyday Arches Dies

 Hi Friends!

Want to learn how one swap card turned into a popular project in my senior craft class?

A few weeks ago, I received a beautiful swap card from my crafty friend Leanne Livingstone, and the moment I saw it, I knew it was something special. It had this soft, floral elegance with just the right pop of color—perfect for spring, summer, or any occasion. 


We recreated it during my Seniors Stamp Crafts class, and let me tell you, it was an absolute hit. The joy on everyone’s face as they layered, embossed, and assembled was everything. 

We used the Gallery Blooms bundle paired with the Everyday Arches dies, and the combination gave this card a fresh, dimensional look that’s surprisingly easy to pull off. It’s one of those designs that makes you look like a pro—even if you’re just getting started.

I’ll be showing exactly how to make this card during my live stamping demo this Thursday evening—so grab your stamps, pour your favorite drink, and come craft along with me! Whether you're a card-making newbie or longtime stamper, you’re going to love this one.

Elegant Spring Corners Card Idea from Our Sunshine Club Stamp Crafts

Hi Friends!

Let’s talk about drama—in the best way possible. This stunning card using the Spring Corners bundle is one we recently created in our Sunshine Club Stamp Crafts group, and I couldn’t keep it to myself. Between the deep, rich color palette and that beautiful pop of shine peeking through the die-cut corner, this design brings all the wow without a lot of fuss.


The embossed floral panel adds soft texture while keeping things fresh and clean. And can we talk about the foil peeking through that detailed corner die? Yes please. It catches the light just right and makes the whole design come alive. I finished it off with a simple sentiment layered over ribbon and a few embellishments to pull it all together.

This handmade card idea is perfect for brightening someone’s day and showcasing the versatility of the Spring Corners bundle. Whether you're sending it to a friend, including it in a gift, or tucking it into your inspiration board, this one’s got a little bit of everything—elegance, dimension, and a whole lot of personality.

Elegant Simplicity with a Pop: Sweet Blooms Card Inspiration

 Hi Friends!

Let’s talk about one of my favorite design combos—crisp white layers with just the right touch of color. During my recent live stamping demo, I shared a clean and classy card using the Sweet Blooms bundle, and it’s a total breath of fresh air.


This card is all about texture and balance. The layered white-on-white panels create such a soft, elegant foundation, letting the embossing and die cuts do the heavy lifting. I love how the flower design adds interest without needing bright backgrounds or busy prints. It’s understated but anything but boring.

And just when you think you’ve got a pure minimalist moment, here comes the pop—those delicate florals and subtle accents bring just enough color to keep things playful. It’s like a little wink of spring peeking through the snow. The sentiment is simple and sweet, perfect for any occasion when you want to brighten someone’s day.

The Sweet Blooms bundle makes it so easy to mix and match texture with focal images. Whether you’re new to layering tone-on-tone or just looking for a fresh spin on your floral stamps, this project is a great starting point. I had so much fun putting it together and sharing it live, and I hope it inspires you to take a white canvas and let your creativity do the talking.

I was live on Monday night over on Facebook and YouTube creating this card, and it was such a treat to walk through the design with everyone in real time. If you missed it or want to recreate this sweet and simple card yourself, the video tutorial is linked below. You’ll find everything you need to get started—including the supplies and measurements—right there in the video.
