Please Let Me Hear From You

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
and became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator early in 2025.
I'd love to be YOUR demonstrator as you buy your Stampin' Up! products.
Full disclosure: I get a small commission on purchases made
using Stampin' Up! links from this website, but this in no way affects your price.
It just serves to help support this blog. Thank you in advance for that support!

Enjoy browsing my blog, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into this blog feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Gap Cards - 2026 June Class #2

 

Today I've made some "gap" cards using materials from the Homemade Sweetness designer series paper.  Gap cards are cut so there is a gap in the middle of the card front - which is then bridged in some way to hold the card together.  The two cards you see above demonstrate two different ways of bridging the gap.  Instructions are in this video (and in the post below).  Scroll to the end of this post (or watch to the end of the video) to see additional examples of this type of card.

Cutaways - 2026 June Class #1

Today I made three different fun fold cards – they are “cutaway” cards where part of the card front is cut away. Here's a video showing how I made two of them:

 

I’ll be using papers from a previous Product of the Month called Painted Illusions, and the very pretty pearlescent Pastels Shimmer paper.  I’ll also be using several older stamp and die sets from my stash – one of which is the fun Notes & Totes dies that are on Last Chance sale as I write this.
