I’m so excited to share this pretty column fun fold card with you today! This design is such a fun way to step up your cardmaking, and it’s the perfect project for using those beautiful bits and pieces from the March 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit, Fluttering Garden . Those sweet hummingbirds and soft florals just make my heart happy! For this card, I kept everything light and fresh with a card base from the kit (two pieces 3 3/4" x 4"), one of the envelopes (three pieces 1 1/4" x 4"

I have a beautiful fun fold to share with you today—this is a pop-up cross card , and I just love the elegant look it creates! This card is made with Highland Heather cardstock  and the gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper . Those soft purples paired with the natural backgrounds in the paper feel so peaceful and perfect for a spring or Easter card. The real wow with this design comes when you pull it out of the envelope. The panels fold out into a cross shape, gi

I have another fun alternate to share with you today using the February Paper Pumpkin kit – Celebrate Spring ! 💛 I always love stretching my kits a little further, and this one was especially fun to play with because it has all kinds of fun little spring images and die cuts. For this project, I created what I call a modified gate-fold card . It has that gate-fold feel, but the front panels don’t quite meet in the middle—which gives it a really unique look when it’s displayed

I couldn't be more excited about this project because I love love love creating 3D projects with paper! For Project #11 in The 12 Projects of Christmas, I focus on making four charming Christmas tags paired with a custom tag box. The highlight of this project is the tag box, crafted from Crumb Cake and Basic White cardstock, designed to hold the tags neatly and make a perfect gift set or to store tags you'll use yourself. Creating the Christmas Tags The four Christmas tags I

Occasionally I get a wild hair to do something a little nuts when I'm crafting, but more often than not, it turns out great, so it's worth taking the risk. This is one of those times where I was starting to think it was a bad idea, but then when it was done, I had convinced myself it was the right move. That move was the iris folding technique. What is iris folding? ⭐ How it works A template  is placed behind an opening cut into cardstock (for example, a heart, star, circle,

It's not often I use two different Paper Pumpkin kits for two separate 12 Projects of Christmas projects. In fact, this is the first time this has ever happened! With my recent time away from my studio, I've taken a bit of a break from the 12 Projects, but I'm back with Project #9, made with November's Wrapped in Cheer Paper Pumpkin kit. As always, if you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, this simple fun fold card would look amazing with other products, as well. Not only is

If you watched Project #5, you know that sometimes I share fun folds that are a little crazy. Fun, no doubt, but crazy. Lots of pieces of paper, lots of steps. And I love it! BUT, sometimes it's ok to tone it down, and this Project #6 is the perfect example. Sooooo cute! The focus of this sweet little card are some stockings made with the A Little Cheer Bundle. This bundle became available in July's Online Exclusives release. I had to have it because I just love those punches

Have you been waiting like I have for a 12 Projects of Christmas fun fold card? This is it, and it's a fun one! I designed this card around Rachel Tessman's Standing Tiered Accordion Fold card, and the North Pole Delivery Specialty Designer Series Paper is absolutely perfect for it. It's a specialty paper because it includes two sheets of die cuts that coordinate with the rest of the paper. And this one is soooo cute! North Pole Specialty Designer Series Paper pack The two sh

Oh, the weather outside is frightful! Well, maybe not yet, but it's coming eventually here in southern Minnesota...and Project #3 of this year's 12 Projects of Christmas is preparing us for this year's winter weather. We've got snowflakes. We've got glitz. We've got glimmer. And we've got a project you're going to want to make! Was I right? This is gorgeous. What makes the glimmer so...glimmery? It's the Peaceful Garden 12" x 12" Glimmer Paper. The colors listed on the packag

One Sheet Wonders. They're fantastic for several things: Using up sheets of Designer Series Paper :) Great for any type of paper crafter, from the novice to the seasoned You can put a bunch together in a flash! When I was planning these 12 projects of Christmas earlier in the Fall, it was an easy decision to include a One Sheet Wonder because of all of the gorgeous Designer Series Paper currently in Stampin' Up!®'s online store and in our catalogs. I chose to use the Traditio
