Simply Elegant Flip Card

I am happy to be taking part in Kylie’s Monthly International Blog Highlights again.
The theme for this hop is “Thank you”. Many people forget those simple words. I have seen people’s days brightened because someone said a simple thank you to them.
Show your appreciation to people in your lives who have inspired you, helped you or supported you by sending them a thank you card or project.

This is what the card looks like when it is closed – fairly unassuming, but the WOW! comes in when it is opened.

I demonstrated this fun fold in the May 2021 Global SU Share fair. This is a customer group which is hosted by an international group of incredibly talented demonstrators. All of my customers are invited to the Facebook page and can participate in the event. The card I am demonstrating uses the Dressed To Impress stamp set and All Dressed Up dies, but the instructions for making the card are the same – just change the stamp set and DSP!

Measurements for this card are:
Card Base – 14.9x21cm / 81/2×51/2″
Z fold – 12.5x15cm / 41/2×6″
White: 2 pieces 12.1×4.6cm / 17/8×43/8″
1 piece 14.4x10cm / 4×51/4″
DSP: 3 pieces 14.4x10cm / 4×51/4″
1 piece 12.1×4.6cm / 17/8 x 43/8″

Paper Crafting Blog Hop – Fine Art Floral Suite

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia are participating. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you! Our theme this month is “Thinking of You” with an emphasis on ladies.
You may have arrived from Shirley Merker’s blog. She always has something exciting to share with us!

This theme at this time of the year, would have to lead us to be thinking about Mother’s Day. I have chosen to use the beautiful Fine Art Floral Suite. If you know me, you will find this card quite unusual, as aside from the sentiment (which is inside the card) it has no stamping!

This is a fun fold card which flaps open twice, and the sentiment is inside. The sentiment is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set.

You can watch my video below for full instructions about how to create this fun fold

Envelope card to use up the DSP stash!

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Monthly Team Blog Hop! We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support.

We all have a tendency to hoard our DSP. The problem with this is that the stash keeps growing, and we keep finding new beautiful DSP to add! This card will help you to dig into the stash, create happiness for anyone who receives it, and (possibly most importantly) make space for the new DSP that will be available with the new catalogue!

For this card I used the soon to be retired Artistry Blooms DSP and the Art Gallery bundle
This is what the card looks like when it is open

Fun Fold Card for Spring

Welcome to this month’s Blogging Friends Blog Hop. Our theme for this month is “I’ve got spring fever”. It is interesting living in the southern hemisphere, and being on apposite seasons. Around me the leaves are all beautiful shades of red and yellow and are falling off the trees. However, this weekend we have lovely sunny weather, so if you don’t look at the leaves, there could be a bit of a spring feel!

I used the Flowers For Every Season DSP which has a lovely spring feel to it. If you want this DSP you will need to get your order in soon as it is retiring. The sentiment is is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and is perfect for the timing and theme of this hop! Daisies are made using the Daisy Lane stamp set and Medium Daisy punch.

This is how the card opens:

Sand and Sea Suite customer appreciation

I participate in a bi-monthly international online event. This is a customer only event, and we have between 15 and 20 demonstrators who participate and each one presents using a different stamp set. It is usually an amazing day (and if you can’t watch the lives they are available on replay) and there is a mind blowing amount of creativity that is shared.

I have decided to share my video from this month’s event. I used the Sand and Sea suite and everyone was so excited with the card! Videos are shared via a private Facebook group and is an exclusive benefit for being one of my customers.

If you like watching demonstrations using current Stampin’ Up! products, then save the date for the May 22nd Global SU Share Fair! We will be featuring products from the brand new annual catalog that goes live on May 4th! I am usually the first one up, and then I am followed by the other Australian demonstrators. We then move to the United Kingdom and then hop over the pond for the Canadian and United States demonstrators. Best part is you can watch from the comfort of your stamp space and recreate the projects using your supplies. Replay is available so you can catch the ones that were live while you are sleeping!!

If you live in Australia and don’t have a demonstrator, please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to assist you with your stamping needs. You can also shop from home at my online store.
