One of my favorite things about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is the opportunity to gather with other demonstrators and share ideas. I recently had an opportunity to gather with about 28 other demos for a fun day of stamping and sharing.
Coffee was not involved and that truly is sad, but my card today was inspired by fellow demonstrator Angie Dixon. She created a lovely card swap and graciously gifted one to me. Her swap inspired me to create today’s card. Thanks Angie for your generosity!
This is a quick and easy fun fold card. I started with a Melon Mambo card base measuring 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5-1/2 to create the basic card. To create the fun fold front, simply score the card front panel in the center at 2-3/4″ and fold back to create front fold. See photo below.
For the front panel cut a 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Tahitian Tide and stamped the Sketched Plaid Background stamp w/Tahitian Tide ink. The dear friend is stamped with Tahitian Tide ink and fussy cut. The white panel with the girls is a piece of Basic White CS-3×3. You can round the corners for a softer look.
The girls are colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blend Markers. You can choose whatever color coordinates with your card base. This card looks like it took a long time to create, but trust me our Stampin’ Blend Combo alcohol markers makes color super fast and easy. Happy Stamping!

Today I created a pitcher of iced tea with the so Refreshing Bundle and the new color Pecan Pie. I am not sure what is it like in your neighborhood, but it is really hot here and today is a perfect day for some refreshing iced tea.
I started with a Pecan Pie card base and added a layer of Basic White, a second layer of Pecan Pie and to the last layer of Basic White I stamped the greeting in Pecan Pie ink. On some scraps of Basic White I stamped the pitcher, ice cubes and glasses all in Pecan Pie, cropped them with the coordinating dies in the bundle and added them to the card front.
If you are not an iced tea fan, perhaps you are a cold brew fan. This card could easily be sent to a coffee or tea lover. Have fun creating with all the extra dies in this bundle.

Last week the Make It Monday video was all about Earthen Textures and I promised a card using the larger floral die that score and cuts to create fun folds. CLICK HERE if you missed those cards. My color focus for the florals is Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Pecan Pie. I added a three sprigs in Crumb Cake and one from Mossy Meadow.
Earthen Textures Bundle
I began with a Night of Navy card base and added a layer of Old Olive. Don’t you just love how the pre-scored leaves on this die adds dimension to our card creation. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach he floral leaves. The greeting is stamped with Night of Navy ink and again, I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach it over the stems of the leaves.

Today, I am sharing 4 cards that I created with the new Courage and Faith stamp set featured in the 2023-2024 annual catalog because we all need a little courage and a lot of faith-right?
This amazing set was designed by Natalie Travis as she was recently awarded the Million Sales Achiever. From what I understand a lot goes into the designing of one set and it takes almost a year to come to fruition. Thanks Natalie for such a great set.

I don’t know what the weather is like where you all live, but here in St. Louis, it is HOT! We have been in the 90’s and even 100’s, not quite as hot as Texas, but certainly warm enough for some refreshing lemonade. Today’s card was created from the So Refreshing Bundle. So Happy 4th of July! I hope you enjoy some real and refreshing lemonade with friends!!!!
Here is a closer look at that bundle. There is so much that you can do with all the dies in this bundle and you have to admit those strawberries are stinkin’ cute!!!
So even though it is hot out, enjoy some cool lemonade and strawberry pink lemonade is even better! So Refreshing……
I began with a Blueberry Bushel card base and added a layer of our new Bubble Bath pink. It is so sweet. I know you are going to love creating with the soft and subtle pink. The flowers are also stamped with Bubble Bath and the leaves in Granny Apple Green. I cropped the blanked from some of our Glorious Gingham Designer Series paper pack and trust me it is glorious and just perfect for a picnic blanket!
I added a layer of Basic White that I embossed using the Metal Plate embossing folder and cropped those stinkin’ cute strawberries from Real Red cardstock. The greeting is from Timeless Arrangements and stamped in Blueberry Bushel. The dies in this bundle are so amazing too! OMG there are so many wonderful products in our 2023-2024 annual catalog!
