If you haven’t checked out Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives you’re missing out on a huge array of additional, new products. Just like the name, these Online Exclusive products are only in my online store HERE, and only while supplies last. Among those new products is the Linked Together Bundle (stamp set + coordinating dies) and the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Specialty Paper used for this card.
In addition to the gorgeous designer paper patterns, this package includes two (2) 12″ x 12″ sheets of full color, laser cut images ready to be added to your handmade craft cards or scrapbook pages.
I heat embossed the greeting for this card using gold embossing powder which is part of the Wow! Metallics Embossing Powder collection. The Mercury Vellum and gold greeting highlight the gold accents of this gorgeous designer paper.
With a simple angle cut, you can create the perfect inside layer for your card. There’s plenty of room to stamp a sentiment and write a personal message. Don’t miss all the tips I provide in today’s video!

I’m a huge fan of black and white designer paper due to its versatility. These papers can be colored using markers, blended with brushes or used simply as they are. And the new Botanical Textures Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive is perfect for manly birthday cards or other masculine occasions.
The Thoughtful Moments hybrid embossing folder & dies create die cut greetings in seconds. The embossing folder holds an array of selection making this combination and immense value!
The secret to this fun fold design is allowing the fan (or arrows as referred to at times in my video) to be the ‘star’ of the card. Focus on your greeting and simple images in either the bottom right or top left of the fan fold for optimum visual appearance.
Unlike the first card, the white card stock creates the perfect layer when the card is closed while also housing the inside sentiment.
Sentimental Park
Stampin’ Up! is known for their color coordination and gorgeous designer papers. The Everyday Happiness designer series paper is no exception. This product can be viewed only online and it’s 12″ x 12″ design is perfect for cards or scrapbooking.
Many of you have asked for more 5″ x 7″ cards and this fancy fold card design is just that! Use the Envelope Punch Board HERE to create an envelope. It’s quick and easy!
The Wanted to Say Dies include a variety of greetings with both script and layers providing you multiple ways to use them. Adhering them with my Precision Glue Press HERE, in my opinion, is a lot easier and cumbersome than adhesive sheets.
Save those designer paper scraps! They make the perfect accessory for the inside of your handmade cards!
