Hi Stampers. Happy March! Can you believe it?!? The year is flying buy and it’s soon going to be Sweet Ice Cream weather! I’m combined my impatience for the cold weather to go away and my love of this new fold I recently discovered to make this awesome card! You can see my Forever & Always version of this fold HERE and my other Ice Cream Corner version HERE.
To create the corner fold, I created a template by using a 2-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ piece of CS and cutting diagonally and gluing the two together, so it was thicker and sturdier so I can use it over and over again. Using this template, I was able to mark where I wanted to make the score on the cardbase with a pencil and then scored it using my trimmer. For the outside, I used a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White CS and a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of the Ice Cream Corner DSP. I used the same template to cut off the same corner of the layers that I scored in on the cardbase and adhered them to the card front.
I almost used the Ice Cream Builder Punch to make ice cream cones for the corner, but they didn’t look right. The paper is ice cream “bars” not “cones”. It was pointed out to me by a friend during our Coffee & Cards Zoom meeting (held each Thrusday at 11am MT – and YOU ARE INVITED to join us!), that the Jar Punch is almost the right shape. Using paper snips, I rounded off the top of the jar (or you can use a circle punch) and then made popsicle sticks for the bottom (using the stamp and Crumb Cake CS/ink) and BOOM – Ice Cream bar!
Inside the card is decorated in much the same way, by using a 5-1/4″ x 4″ layer of DSP (on the top) and Basic White (on the bottom). I used the template from above to cut off the corner to get the larger piece. Next, cut 1/4″ off the long side of the triangle for the piece that will fit onto the top up. Using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set, I stamped the confetti in Granny Apple Green ink and the sentiments in Pool Party ink. The final touch was adding the ice cream cone to the pop up corner. This was made using the Ice Cream Corner DSP and the Ice Cream Builder Punch.

Hi Stampers. Today’s card is a corner angle pop-up card, at least that’s the best name I can find for it. LOL I made this Valentine’s Day card for a facebook live a few weeks ago. It features the Forever & Always Specialty Designer Series Paper – isn’t it gorgeous!?!?
Before making my card I watched several other demos feature this cool new corner angle pop up card. Some called it a V fold card, some a corner pop up and some an angle card…. whatever it is called, it’s a fun fold to do!
To create the corner fold, I created a template by using a 2-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ piece of CS and cutting diagonally and gluing the two together, so it was thicker and sturdier so I can use it over and over again.
Using this template, I was able to mark where I wanted to make the score on the cardbase with a pencil and then scored it using my trimmer. For the outside, I used a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White CS and a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of the Forever and Always Specialty DSP. I used the same template to cut off the same corner of the layers that I scored in on the cardbase and adhered them to the card front.
For the inside, I used a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White CS and a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Forever and Always Specialty DSP. I used the same template to cut off the corner of the layer into the pop up of the cardbase and adhered inside the card. The corner pieces I used were the same ones I cut off, but with an extra 1/4″ trimmed off the longest side of the triangle.
Using the Forever & Always stamp set and blushing bride ink, I added the sentiment to the inside. Last thing was the punch the scallop heart out of the foil and the straight heart out of the DSP using the Heart Punch Pack and then adhere them. I placed two on the outside and added a bow and one heart pops up on the inside.
This process is all better explained using the video turtorial below.

Hi Stampers. Today’s project is gift bags. I made the two gift bags below for a Facebook Live that I recorded last March (you remember March 2020 don’t you? LOL) The Christmastime Is Here DSP used is no longer available, but the idea and measurements are still valid.
These gift bags are the perfect size to hold a small gift – like say…. a few stamp sets. 🙂
I also created a tag, for the gift bags, using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set. You can learn the measurements and all about how to make this bag by watching the video below.

Hi Stampers. I have a lot to share with you today! The main feature is the landscape easel cards, but there is also the decorated tiny treat boxes. These projects are all fairly “autumn / thanksgiving” related. But, I wanted to post them anyway. A change up of the colors an DSP and you can make a bunch of different projects. This post is mainly for basic ideas.
This is my landscape easel card. It features the Gilded Autumn DSP, Brushed Metallic Paper and the Nested Label Dies.
The sentiment is from the Country Home stamp set and the leaves are from the Rooted in Nature stamp set.
I just love cards that pop up for display!
Decorating the envelope is a fun added touch!
Inside. you can see that I did more stamping and used the smallest of the Nested Label Dies to make the “stop” for my card. The are up on stampin’ dimensionals.
Here I have a decorated clear tiny treat box filled with M & Ms and covered with cardstock and DSP.
I love how they are so simple to do! You can choose to do the 2″ x 8-1/2″ strip of DSP alone or you can do a 2″ strip of CS followed by a 1-1/2″ strip of DSP.
To finish them off, I just tied ribbon or trim around it and made a bow on the top.
This box is filled with skittles. Any small candy will work.
Here are a few more cards using the same landscape easel fold and stamp sets.
This time I used the Magic In The Night DSP. I also used the envelope dies to line the envelopes.

Hi Stampers, do you remember the “magic wallet”? As a kid, I remember being mesmerized trying to figure out how the items switched sides. Today I’m here to show you how to make one out of Stampin’ Up! supplies.
I started with Basic Black CS, added some Gold Foil and then Added the World of Good DSP. (See video below for all the measurements and further instructions).
There is a Starbucks gift card on one side of the Magic Wallet and a sort of cheat sheet on the other side.
Stampin’ Tip: I made a miniature version of the wallet using bakers twine (without the top layers of paper) as a guide, so I don’t forget how the ribbons are attached if I ever want to make it again.
Ribbons in the Magic Wallet are in the form of an X on one side and two straight ribbons on the other side. When you flip it (like pages in a book) open and closed again, the gift card and my guide switch sides. Kids love it!
To finish off the Magic Wallet, the outside of card is decorated with the DSP and then I used the World Dies with Balmy Blue and Just Jade CS to make the globe. Some Gold Foil, cut out of the middle layer, is used to make the globe base and the scallop oval. The sentiment (from the Beautiful World stamp set) is stamped in Just Jade ink onto a Whisper White oval.

Hi Stampers. Happy Monday! Since I work for myself, I love Mondays! It’s like a fresh start and it’s Facebook Live day over on my Facebook Business Page! (We are doing a simple shaker card class today at 2:30pm MT). Today’s post is a card I made for Facebook Live two weeks ago. If you like today’s post, check out the masculine circle swirl card in this other post HERE.
For the base of this card, I chose Terracotta Tile and paired it with the Ornate Garden DSP. Pulling a few other colors from that DSP, I’m also using Terracotta Tile, Mint Macaron, Old Olive and Bumblebee for the swirls on my card. The “happy birthday” is in Early Espresso.
For the circles, I die cut the first and last color using the largest and smallest circle of the Stitched Shapes Dies. The two middle colors were cut using the two middle sizes, one of each of those colors. They were then cut in half and assembled to make the swirls on the front of the card. (How, is all explained in the video tutorial below. If you saw the mess of a FB live on Facebook, don’t worry, I edited out the technical difficulties and the YouTube video is much better.)
I then cut a Whisper White stitched circle and stamped the “happy” from the Well Said stamp set in Early Espresso ink. The “birthday” is die cut from a piece of Early Espresso CS (with adhesive sheet on the back) using the Well Written Dies. To help cover the seam where the circles meet, I positioned the birthday right over the center.
Inside the card is a simple 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Whisper White CS with the sentiment (also from the Well Said stamp set) stamped in Early Espresso ink. To help coordinate with the outside of the card, a leftover strip of the DSP is adhered on the left side.
At first, this technique really threw me for a loop. Since my motto here is “There is NO STRESS in stamping”, I worked had to get a simpler way to present this technique. Once I got it all straight in my head it really was quite easy – check out the video below to see just how easy I make it for you!
