Pop-Up Forever Greenery Card

Hello and welcome back!

I have another card and tutorial video to share with you from my monthly technique class back in March. Some of the items on this card have retired since then, but I know you’re clever. You’ll be able to use the pop-up design with other products.

The Playful Alphabets Dies that you see on the inside of this card are a staple item in my craft room. They’re small enough to use on a card, but universal enough to use in scrapbooking and home decor projects as well. I’ve even used these dies to cut out iron-on vinyl to use on fabrics!

If you’re in Canada, you can join my technique classes on Zoom. As part of this class, you will receive all the pre-cut paper, the embellishments, and envelopes for two card designs. You will also receive an email with the link to join the Zoom class and the list of supplies you might need, such as stamps and ink.

During the virtual class, you follow along with me and we make the cards together. It’s very casually paced as I make sure each person has completed each step before I proceed to the next one. If anyone struggles with a step or make a mistake, we can work it through together right then and there! My attendees also receive a PDF with the instructions as well as private access to each of the video tutorials on YouTube. The videos remain private for two months so that those with special access can revisit them as needed.

Sometimes people who purchase the pre-cut supplies aren’t able to attend the Zoom class. They register for the class to get the pre-cut supplies, then wait until the tutorials are available and make the cards on their own at their convenience.

If you’re outside of Canada, I’m not able to send you any supplies, but for $10 CAD, you can receive VIP Access to the videos at the same time as those who attend the class. No waiting two months for the videos to post! You can access the video tutorials and receive the PDF written instructions while the products are still available to purchase through Stampin’ Up! Sadly, those of you who aren’t in Canada can’t order from my online store, but if you need help finding a demonstrator near you, I’m happy to recommend someone if I can.

I originally shared this pop-up card design at a Stamp Camp event back in January using the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper. This paper is still available in the January – June Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalogue.

The front of this card is a different layout, but the inside is very similar to the Forever Greenery version of this design. The only difference on the inside is that I used a stamp from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set instead of a die-cut word.

To see how I made this pop-up design, follow along with the video tutorial. The measurements for the card on in the video description on YouTube if you need them! Go to my online store to see what beautiful options you have for patterned paper to use for cards like this!

Hey, why not take a moment to leave a comment and let me know that you stopped by. I love to hear from you!

Dragonfly Garden Note Card Box

On my Facebook Live video yesterday, I shared how to make this cute box! It’s the perfect size for Mini Envelopes and 3″ x 3″ handmade cards. The Dragonfly Garden stamp set, Dragonflies Punch, and the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper work together beautifully to create this easy box.

Show your appreciation to someone by giving them a box of handmade note cards!

It doesn’t have to be for note cards, though! This size box will fit lots of other things. You could fill it with candy or chocolates, but anything that fits would work: Jewelry, seed packs, candles, figurines, tea, snacks, car keys, ear buds, money, a face mask, make-up, a pair of socks … whatever! LOL!

It would be really funny to get a pair of socks!

The box is an adaptation of a smaller rectangular box that my friend and fellow Canadian Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, Desirée Spenst made. It was a cute box, but not big enough to fit cards. I just had to adjust the measurements for the base of the box, then I could decorate it my own way. I chose the dragonflies.

It makes me happy.

To make this 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ square box that is 1 1/4″ high, start with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock, measuring 6″ x 10 1/2″. Score the long side at 1″, 4 1/2″, 5 3/4″, and 9 1/4″. Score the short side at 1 1/4″ and 4 3/4″. With this as your base, you can use my video tutorial to complete the base of the box. Once you see how I put it together and decorated it, you can do the same or you can decorate it anyway you like! It’s easier than you might think!

After I finished recording the video tutorial, I added some Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins and a white heat embossed sentiment from the Many Messages stamp. I think these elements complete the box nicely.

The video below is a recording of my Monday Facebook Live. You can join me live on Facebook at 10:30 PST every Monday morning and interact with me while I share projects with you. Next week I’ll be unboxing the May Paper Pumpkin kit!

Ice Cream Shaker Card

If you know me, then you know that I love ice cream. I will eat almost any ice cream.

(Sorry, McDonalds, you definitely don’t make the cut)

My favourites are coffee or vanilla bean Häagen-Dazs, but I also love a good ice cream cone from most ice cream shops. We have an ice cream shop in town called MooLix, which is a favourite for me and my family. It’s even become a tradition for us on Canada Day to walk along the boardwalk by the lake, so we can hit up the MooLix. A waffle cone with a couple scoops of whatever flavour suites our fancy in the moment is a gloriously tasty treat!

On my Facebook Live last Monday, I made a shaker card using the Ice Cream Corner Suite. This card features the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper, the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set, the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch, and the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles.

You can watch the video on Facebook, but I also have it up on YouTube and here on my blog. What can I say, I like to make things easy for you!

Did you know that the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper and the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles will soon be gone forever? They are products in the January – June Mini Catalogue, which means that they will not be available to purchase after June 30th. In fact, they might run out of stock before then, so If you love them, go to my Canadian online store and add them to your cart before it’s too late.

If you like my content, I would love to know! Your comments, replies, and interactions with my posts make my day and encourage me to keep sharing. If you make any of my designs (or use them as a spin off for your own amazing creations), please tag me in your posts on social media. I also love when you share a photo with me through Facebook Messenger. I get so pumped when I see your take on one of my designs or techniques. Thank you for boosting my spirits and supporting my passion.

I think you’re pretty amazing!
