Are you ready for another fun fold card? This angled gate fold starts with a standard-size card base, but a few diagonal cuts give it a completely different look. Better yet, those angled panels are perfect for showing off your favorite patterned paper.

I made three versions of this card using Stampin’ Up!® products: a fall sunflower card, a Christmas card, and an all-occasion thank-you card. I’ll show you how to line up your cardstock and patterned paper to make the angled cuts easy.

Who is ready for a little Halloween fun? My Halloween Mystery Craft Boxes have arrived, so I can finally share everything that was tucked inside, including the Stampin’ Up!® products, a couple of fun surprises, and six frightfully cute paper crafting projects!
​
The Mystery Craft Box itself is no longer available, but you haven’t completely missed out. You can still get the six-project tutorial bundle from my tutorial store and create the projects using the Oh My Fright Bundle and Frightfully Fun Times Designer Series Paper.

Do you ever sit down to make a card and have absolutely no idea where to start? A card sketch can make that blank piece of cardstock feel a whole lot less intimidating!

This easy card sketch divides the card front into three sections of patterned paper, with a large focal image overlapping them. The flower on the sketch is just a placeholder. You can use flowers, leaves, balloons, or any other large stamped or die-cut image.
​
I used the sketch to create three handmade cards, including two featuring products that are brand-new today! Let’s take a closer look at each one.

Do you have a collection of patterned paper scraps that are simply too pretty to throw away? Paper piecing is a fun rubber stamping technique that lets you turn those little scraps into colorful stamped images without pulling out your markers or other coloring tools.

For this week’s Stamp with Me Tuesday, I created three handmade cards using the paper piecing technique. I also snuck in a peek at several new products from the 2026 September–December Stampin’ Up!® Catalog, which begins September 1!
​
Read on to see how to do this easy cardmaking technique and get a closer look at all three cards.

Sometimes a stamp set just makes you want to play, and the Simply Leaves Bundle from Stampin' Up!® is definitely one of those for me! The leaves are big and bold with lots of fun patterns, and the coordinating punch cuts out the larger leaf, making it easy to add layers and dimension to your handmade cards.

For the August Online Card Class, I paired the Simply Leaves Bundle with the 2026–2028 In Color Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper. I love a good gingham, and the soft patterns work so well with these bold leaf images.

And, as you'll see with the first card, leaves don't necessarily have to stay leaves!
