Fun Z Fold for one of my favorite Holidays!! Valentine’s Day

Jan 16, 2020 | Paper Crafting, Stampin Up Cards | 1 comment

i absolutely love making fun fold cards.  I usually keep things pretty simple, but I always forget about stepping outside the box sometimes.

It is hard to believe Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.  We just took down our Christmas Tree last week!!!!  Who is with me?  So I decided to dive in with this adorable Heartfelt Bundle of products from the new 2020 Spring/Summer Mini catalog.  This is a fun way to use your products to create multiples from the same card if you need to mass produce something.

Z-Fold Valentine's Day Card

Heartfelt Z Fold Card

Let’s start off with the card reccipe:

  • I used Whisper White Thick (But regular Whisper White will be just fine) :  9 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
    • Score at 3 1/4″ and 6 1/2″ (or if it is easier, 3 1/4″ from each end)
  • Real Red:  5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
  • From the Heart DSP:  (2 pieces) 3 1/4  x 4 1/4″ or if you want more of a white trim 3×4 would look great too.

 

  • Option 1

The Suite comes with the most beautiful DSP Paper that you can use these adorable punches to punch out the hearts in the DSP.

Option 2

Another fun option is to use the heart out of the adorable Heartfelt Stamp Set by stamping them out first then punching.

I hope you enjoy this fun project.  Valentine’s Day is such a special day for me.  As a little girl my dad made it super special for my mom and I.  It was his favorite Holiday along with Christmas.  Even as a little girl I loved hand making my classroom cards.  I wish they had Stampin Up! when I was younger.  Crayola Markers, Construction Paper, Stencils and Scissors were my best friends.

Sympathy Thank You

Jul 28, 2019 | News, Paper Crafting, Stampin Up Cards | 0 comments

Not very often are there cards out there for a sympathy thank you. You have “thank you”, “thank you for your kindness” etc. So I was super excited to see that Stampin Up made a specific stamp set just for this occasion.

Kindness and Compassion is the perfect stamp set for just this. Although, I wish it was for something uplifting, however unfortunately there is a need for them. When I bought this stamp set, I had one of my dear friend’s family in mind, but sadly 6 weeks later our own family needed this when my brother passed away from cancer. I wanted to create a special card for all the amazing out pour of sympathy we received.

The stripe down the middle in Seaside Spray is from Woven Heirlooms another beautiful stamp set with beautiful sentiments.

 

Below is the card I created using one of my favorite designer series paper Woven Thread, in my new favorite 2019-2020 In Color Seaside Spray. The ribbon is one of my new favorites Scalloped Woven Ribbon in Seaside Spray as well. The new Stitched Nested Labels are the perfect addition for your sentiment and finishing it off with your rhinestones.

Below please find all the products used for this project.
