I’m posting this weeks tutorial a day late, but I didn’t want to miss sharing this card with you since it is such a fun one. Not only does this Flip Flop card use the Framed Violet Bundle (Online Exclusive 168187) which is going to be very popular but it also stands up and has movement too!
Done in Highland Heather and Peaceful Pine this card is created with a few simple score and cut lines.
Want to see how I created this card?
I’ve got two video tutorials for you today – the first one shows you how to create this flip flop card base and the second one how I created the card.
So with out delay here are the tutorials for you and of course a PDF with video links, measurements and a complete supply list.
I warn you this Flip Flop card can be kind of addictive to make once you have done one!
I love turtles and find them fascinating, always looking for their little heads peeking out of the water or sunning themselves on the log when at a pond. I think this love for turtles was instilled in me with my first pet turtle as a young child. Remember, the little turtles that you placed in the clear plastic “pond” with a little palm tree in the middle? I’m afraid my little guy tended to be an escape artist. lol
So when I saw the Turtle Friend Bundle (155819) I immediately fell in love with it’s cute images and all occasions sentiments.
The fact that the bundle includes a punch makes it quick and easy to use too! Check out these projects made with the bundle. This first card done in Bumblebee and Old Olive uses the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (149643) as a back drop.
The Tailor Made Tags Dies (155563) highlight these cute little duo. And this next monochromatic card is done in our new Soft Succulent.
It uses our fun 2021- 2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum (155616) for a pop of shimmer behind the turtle. This paper is awesome and comes in all 5 In Colors, and it is great for overlaying on another layer like this project does.
This next project is a fun fold that swings up the little turtle up for display.
The final project I’m sharing with you today is a treat bag made with our Ombre Gift Bags (155479) filled with some turtle chocolate treats.
Check out the adorable little flower, it’s our Loose Flower Flourishes (155808) that come in 3 of our 2021-2023 In Colors. This accessory is perfect for using with our In Colors since they are a great way to bring trendy colors to your stamping.

This Suite is one of my favorite in the Mini Catalog and here are some more cards made using the products from this suite for you today.
This first card is a fancy fold, called the 4 fold card.
When opened it’s like a little book – so much fun. Check out the beach chair from the Seasonal Layers Dies. Soooo cute!
And here is a fun card done with the In the Tropic Dies.
Can you see the texture on the pineapple? The Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper was used to cut out the die, giving it a lot of texture – so simple, but it packs a wow factor.
And this last card is perfect for a retirement, thank you, or special trip

Learning new things is always fun and during OnStage in November one of the presenters showed us a Reverse Die Cutting Technique which I couldn’t resist recreating with my team at our OnStage After Party.
This card not only use a fancy fold called the Double Point, it also uses a fun technique with our dies. It was definitely a wow moment at my table that afternoon. And since I know that if I don’t do something right away I’d forget the steps, I whipped up this project quickly.
Not only are you going to love the New Dressed to Impress Bundle with it’s quirky sayings, but it is perfect for this technique with the shoe image.

It’s a rainy day here in Northeast Georgia so I’m going to take advantage of that and stamp. This kind of weather is perfect for that kind of thing I think. So today’s post will be a quick one sharing a card with you that I thought I had shared earlier in the month. So here we go. Seems I need to spend a bit of time cleaning up piles on my desk too. lol
Today’s card is a fancy fold card that uses just a few score lines to create a wow factor – This card will be simple to make for your Halloween fun
Using our Spectacular Bash Suite of Products it’s sure to make that special trick or treater smile when they open it.
How do you create this fold? Simply take a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ card stock base and score it 2 1/8″ and then at 4 1/4″. Yep, it’s that simple!

This little guy immediately drew my attention when I first saw the 2019 Holiday Catalog back in August. I’m not sure what it is about this set, whether its the fact that it has a punch, is filled with nature and wildlife options or the sentiments – I think it is a great addition to my collection.
Now that you’ve seen the set check out these great cards
This first one is simply gorgeous in person as it is a fancy fold and creates a wonderful winter scene.
This fold is created with a few score lines and will fold flat for mailing. It does have a couple of layers that the moose are on which gives it more depth to the card
base: 4 1/4″ x 8″ ; scored at 1 1/4″, 2 1/2″, 5 1/2″, and 6 3/4″
The front snow layer is 5 1/2″ wide and then the two – 1/2″ strips are just 4 inches long and scored on each end at 1/2″. These were added at two different heights and attached to the inside panels.
I can’t wait to try one of these myself. I’ll be sharing a tutorial when I do for sure!
And here is a another card done in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso
Both of these cards use the Woodland 3D Embossing Folder (139673) which is currently on back order and unavailable to order. But no worries it should be back in stock by mid November. Email me if you would like me to add you to my list and I’ll let you know when it is available again.

As I mentioned yesterday, today’s cards are all swaps done by my team members at this month’s team meeting. I always love to see what they are creating when we gather – and swapping is a lot of fun since we all have different styles and favorite sets. So we get to see lots of new ideas.
I’ll start with the Fancy Folds which were clearly on a lot of our minds – after all they are a lot of fun to make.
I love the Pacific Point and Coastal Cabana together – clean and crisp. The pop of color on the butterfly wings was done with our Stampin’ Blends.
And of course our classic Black & White – This Pop Up Corner Card using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set (146842) and Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder (151797 available again soon) is sure to impress.
And last but not least the final card for the day uses the Love What You Do stamp set (148042) using Merry Merlot and Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blends – a rather striking color combination I thought.
Have a favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know – I know I can’t pick just one. LOL.

I love gathering with my team each month and sharing – after all isn’t that part of the fun of stamping, the community? So last month when my friend Sue shared a card with us during Team Craft Time I loved the idea of her sharing it at June’s Meeting. We made it a team effort, she shared the basic wiper base how to and I designed a card for us all to make.
Here is what I came up with as far as the card design. I love the craft focused Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper with it’s bright colorful patterns. And this movement card seemed perfect for the It Starts with Art stamp set too.
While these cards look difficult to make, they really are quite simple once you get the hang of them. I’ve broken down my tutorial into two parts for you the card base itself and then how I decorated it to make things a bit easier. So you’ll want to watch both parts to see the complete project.
