Joy Fold Cards with NEW beautiful papers. Sneak Peak, Florals in Bloom

What to do when you have loads of pretty paper? - Make cards that show it off, of course!

This is a selection of Joy Fold cards which I made recently for stamping friends, just to say "Happy New Catalogue". I love how bright and cheerful they look. The floral pieces and some of the patterns are from the new Florals in Bloom DSP which will be available on the 6th of May (Yay!) Some of the other decorative patterns are from sets in my stash. The Unbounded Beauty DSP is carrying over into the new catalogue which is great because it has so many versatile patterns which coordinate with so many other different papers. It's wonderful that several paper packs are continuing on, who doesn't love good value products?

I really love this new Sentiment Set too - Mixed Labels, Such a gorgeous font and beautiful sayings. "You're pretty wonderful" is so easy to use. You'll find it in the online exclusives section of the store, along with loads of other amazing things. These products aren't in any printed catalogue.


You can find the instructions for the Joy Fold by following the links from the Tab at the top right of this Blog Page - labelled "Fancy Folds". Just scroll down until you find the  Joy Fold section, it's a little way down, there are plenty of different Fancy Fold patterns and links on the page.




I've used the new Secret Sea Ink for the Cardstock base and for stamping the sentiments, and and I love how dramatic it looks. 
All the flowers are diecut using the beautiful small flowers from the Happy Hibiscus set. These are so versatile and go anywhere.
Isn't the new orange - Timid Tiger- just lovely? It's a surprise for me to love an orange! I used the returning Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Peach Pie, Secret Sea and Petunia Pop for all the flowers and simply mixed them up.


A Joy Fold is essentially 2 cards with the back of the smaller card adhered to the inside of the larger card. The large card opens right to left, while the smaller card opens left to right. You can find more samples and links here.

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration #11, lovely colour combo

I've had a bit of fun this morning playing with a fe new products. I LOVE the new embossing paste- and I've been waiting for ages for SU to bring out some materials for mixed media.  This paste is light and very easy to spread it dries quickly and gives a beautiful finish It can be easily coloured with our refill inks to create a perfect match. This weeks colours are just lovely together.  In my card I have used marina mist ink to colour the paste and used the brick wall mask. This is spread over a watercolour wash using Marina Mist- I just love the layers of colour. To create the leaves I used the 3 ink colours from the challenge and the baby wipe technique to get the variegated leaves using the Colorful Seasons stamp set and framelits. I don't currently have any Early Espresso cardstock but I do have some very old (retired) Early Espresso heat emboss powder, and I have used this for the sentiment on vellum. Of course I ended up with ...
