We created these fabulous fun fold gift card holders for this week's Stamp with Me Tuesday. They have a circle at the top where you can stamp a sentiment or an image and a top flap that folds over the circle. Then, when you open the fun fold card, there is a place inside to tuck a gift card. 

Using patterned paper like the Hues of Happiness, Abigail Rose or Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!® makes these fun fold cards easy to make! However, you could also stamp images or add additional decoration like I did with the cards using the Sweet Songbirds and Happiness Abounds stamp sets.

If you missed my live demonstration, you can watch the replay to see exactly how to make this card. You'll also find a FREE Quick-Reference Guide with all of the cutting dimensions for this fun fold design at the bottom of this post, so be sure to read all the way through. And of course there are links to all of the supply lists for these cards.

Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping. 

Thank you to everyone who joined me live on Tuesday night for my first Terrific Techniques Stamp with Me Tuesday! This month, we did the chalkboard technique.

Each Tuesday of the month will be a different Stamp with Me theme:

I've gotten so much positive feedback from so many of you! It sounds like you are really excited for this new line up and enjoyed our first technique.

You'll find a FREE Quick-Reference Guide to download below as well as more info and a supply list. So, on y go! Let's get samping.

I love easy fun fold cards, and the locking gate fold card design or interlocking gatefold takes a gate fold card and bumps it up a notch while still being super easy! I used the new Hello Beautiful stamp set from Stampin' Up!® and coordinating Beautiful Shapes dies to create these sample fun fold card designs.

I shared how to make a couple of these on my most recent YouTube Live. If you missed it, be sure to watch the replay so you can see exactly how to make this easy card. I walk you through all the steps and show you how to do the die-cutting and embossing using the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.

The best part? The Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine is 20% for March! What a fabulous deal. 

​Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

It can be hard making handmade cards for guys. The Cactus Cuties stamp set and Cactus Builder punch are perfect for making masculine cards when you pair them with neutral colors like Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, and Soft Succulent. These cards have a modern feel while appealing to everyone.

I also used a number of rubber stamping and card making techniques on these cards, like masking and embossing. You'll want to check out the video to see exactly how the demo card was made. 

All of the cutting dimensions for my demo card are below.

Don't forget, I'm live every Thursday evening at 8pm Eastern on YouTube with more fabulous card making ideas for you!

​Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

I have a special sneak peek for you today of the *NEW* Waves of Inspiration stamp set and coordinating dies, patterned papers, and embellishments. The Waves of the Ocean collection is absolutely gorgeous! You are going to love it. 

The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and dies will be available in the upcoming 2022-2023 Annual Catalog from Stampin' Up!® However, the patterned paper, foil paper, and rhinestones are only available while supplies last. You can begin ordering these products on March 1, 2022. 

For my YouTube live this week, I showed you the whole collection and shared how to make two of the cards quickly and easily. If you missed my live, be sure to check out the replay. You can really get a good look at this beautiful paper that looks like it was made doing pour painting.

Let's get a closer look at the card samples. On y go! Let's get stamping.
