Hello fellow crafters! Today I want to show you an easy technique that will make you look like a paper crafting pro. This technique is perfect for using up coordinating paper scraps.
I started off my card by creating a Cheerful Daisies element that will become a layer on the front of my card. Although you can purchase the bundle (click below) my card today will only use the stamp set.
You'll love everything you can do with this set. Use the solid images, perfect for quick stamping in one color which is what we are going to do or you can use the open line-art images, perfect for watercoloring.
I also used my Tailor Made Tags Dies to make my stamped image stand out:
Easily add die-cut tags to your next paper crafting project; mix, match, and layer tags in different sizes and colors. Create tags for any occasion you need: birthday cards, goodie bags, gift packages. Stamp sentiments from your favorite stamp sets, then cut out. It’s that easy to create custom tags!
What adds to the ease of this card is that I kept it pretty monochromatic in tone, using my 2023-25 In Color designer series paper. The pattern in this pack are super fun to craft with. I chose Wild Wheat but my idea can easily be used with your favorite In Color.
Here's my torn paper technique card:
Here's what you need to make this card at home.

Want to see another Cheerful Daisies card idea? Here's one featuring another technique.
Hello fellow crafters! My new catalog order has arrived and so today I am going to introduce 2 new products and show you how to use them to create a fun fold technique that I just learned. This idea would be perfect as a Mother's Day idea. Shall we get started?
Introducing the Cheerful Daisies bundle!
Stamp a happy garden or bouquet of daisies with the Cheerful Daisies stamp set. You'll love everything you can do with this set. Do you like bold and simple stamping? Use the solid images, perfect for quick stamping in one color. Do you want to add detailed color? Use the open line-art images, perfect for watercoloring. The flowers, flower centers, leaves, and stems are on separate stamps so you can create customized flowers. Finish with a sentiment—birthday, thanks, thinking of you, sorry—for unique cards for many occasions.
Cut out a garden of happy daisies in seconds with the Cheerful Daisies dies. The flowers, stems, and leaves are all separate so you can create a single stemmed flower or fill a landscape with a bed of flowers and greenery. There's also a label die so you can cut out a stamped sentiment and add it to your cards. These dies are the easiest way to make your crafting bloom!
Get inspired with the charming blue-and-white countryside designs in the Countryside Inn paper. Inspired by fine china and wallpaper patterns, this paper includes gorgeous florals, woodland animals, nature, and ceramic designs. Use it on all-occasion cards and other paper crafting projects to add a perfect pastoral touch. Make blue and white the new trend on your projects!
Here's my first idea using these 2 products - an Envelope Flap fun fold:

This week is such an exciting time in the Stampin' Up! world! On 2 May (two more sleeps!) the next Annual Catalog goes live and, alongside of this launch a new set of 5 In Colors are revealed. Today I am going unveil these new colors and show you a fun card that can be easily multiplied.
And here they are! Which one is your fave? Leave me a comment under this post - I would love to hear which one caught your eye straight away!
The In Color 12" x 12" Cardstock Assortment is great for handmade cards and other paper crafts. It’s high quality, acid free, and lignin free, making it a favorite scrapbook paper, too. Here's my tip: when new IN Colors are introduced I always buy an assorted pack of 12x12 cardstock. I can then use my Paper Trimmer to create card bases, strips or keep a sheet whole for memory pages. It's like a color sampler that goes a long way.

Today's project was requested by one of my YouTube followers. She requested a card that uses Watercolor Pencils so that's what I am going to show you today - how to create a beautiful watercolor wash background for your cards. I will be using a single wildflower from the Quiet Meadow bundle to create a simple, beautiful element for my card. You don't want to miss this one!
The Quiet Meadow stamp set includes flowers, background patterns, and greetings. Choose one greeting, flower, and pattern or bring several of them together for a collage effect and to convey a positive message.
Use the dies to create the look of a meadow with wildflowers and beautiful blossoms. Mix and match the pieces or use a single wildflower for a stunning effect which is what I did for today's card.
Note: this bundle is retiring soon so if you love it as much as I do you need to order it right away at my online store. Once it is sold out it is gone for good.
To create my watercolor background I am going to mix and match my 2 packs of Watercolor Pencils - both of these Assortments are retiring because Stampin' Up! is doing a color refresh in the upcoming catalog. But don't worry, the next Annual Catalog will have Watercolor Pencils that coordinate the color refresh that is taking place.
This pack of watercolor pencils has 13 High-quality, smooth colors. There are many techniques using watercolor pencils and I am going to show you one of my faves.
Colors in this assortment: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie,Real Red, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White

I have shown you so many ideas using the Irresistible Blooms bundle in the past couple of weeks (scroll back through my blog to see all these projects!) and today I have a unique interlocking fun fold idea to share using them once more.
The phrase for my card, and a fun element that I added inside, comes from the Irresistible Blooms bundle. The set features gorgeous floral designs and sentiments in an elegant font, and is perfect for all-occasion projects to say hello or thank you and to make someone happy.
I am also using the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper as a standout feature on my fun fold card. This paper was hand drawn digitally to give it a natural, artistic flair that will complement any project. Cut out some of the designs and use them on card fronts or use the paper as background for all-occasion projects.

Today I am excited to show you another fun fold idea, one that is perfect for using up leftover strips of designer paper. I am going to use my Desert Details bundle and some left over Delicate Desert paper. This is a fun one, and super easy too!
Now you can bring the delicate beauty of the desert to your crafting with this lovely bundle. The artwork is reminiscent of the American Southwest but will look beautiful on any project that calls for flowers, patterns, or warm thoughts. Stamp, then die cut labels, borders, accents, and more!
Let the warmth of the desert sun permeate your crafting with desert flowers, pottery patterns, and cheerful sentiments! The Desert Details Stamp Set has four sentiments perfect for brightening anyone’s day; no occasion needed. Add even more beauty with a desert flower or two with the matching dies. Don’t forget to use the long images! They’re great as borders or frames, or you can stamp multiples to create a longer image or background.
The soft patterns in the Delicate Desert paper have a Southwestern feel with warm greens, yellows, reds, and oranges in boho-style designs. One sheet even has an abstract desert sunset. Stamp on the paper, use them as backgrounds, or cut them into smaller pieces for accents.
SAD NEWS: Both the bundle and the paper are retiring at the end of April - don't wait and miss out on this fab combo! Order it now before it is gone for good. (click on the product photos above to head straight to my online store)
To make my fun fold I used up a strip of the abstract desert sunset sheet. The rest was super easy to put together. Here's my card!

I am going to feature the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper, both on the outside and inside of my fun fold card:
From elegant botanical and floral designs to beautiful color washes, the Hello, Irresistible designer series paper was hand drawn digitally to give it a natural, artistic flair that will complement any project. Cut out some of the designs and use them on card fronts or use the paper as background for all-occasion projects.
The phrase for my card, and a fun element that I added inside, comes from the Irresistible Blooms bundle:
The Irresistible Blooms set features gorgeous floral designs and sentiments in an elegant font, and is perfect for all-occasion projects to say hello or thank you and to make smiles bloom. Combine the images as you wish on your project—pair the flower image with a greeting on a card front, add the stamped leaf image for a fuller and more detailed image, or use the leaf image repeatedly as to frame one of the greetings. The set is also great for coloring opportunities like the emboss resist technique.

Today I want to show you another fun fold idea - this card features a unique design twist on the popular easel card. I will be using my Desert Details bundle and Delicate Desert designer series paper. Shall we get started?
Add the warmth of the desert sun to you cards using the desert flowers, pottery patterns, and cheerful sentiments in the stamp set. It has four fun sentiments perfect for brightening anyone’s day; no occasion needed. Add even more beauty with a desert flower or two. The long images are great as borders or frames, or you can stamp multiples to create a longer image or background.
Although the background layer could be plain and then decorated, I decided to go for something different and use my Delicate Desert paper:
The soft patterns have a Southwestern feel with warm greens, yellows, reds, and oranges in boho-style designs. One sheet even has an abstract desert sunset. Stamp on the paper, use them as backgrounds, or cut them into smaller pieces for accents.

Today I have another fun fold card idea to share, one that creates a fun door to open. I will be using my Daisy Delight stamp set and elegant Dainty Flowers paper which is retiring this coming week (sob). Shall we get started?
The main feature on my fun fold comes from the Dainty Delight stamp set.
Sure, these flowers are dainty, but they’ll send a powerful message of hope, thanks, celebration, and more on all your paper crafting projects. The line art images can be custom colored using your favorite Stampin’ Up! coloring technique. Stamp a single stem for a clean, minimalist look, or mix and match the images for a lovely field of dainty delights. As you can see, the set is bundled with coordinating dies but I won't be using them on today's fun fold.
To coordinate the colors on today's fun fold, I used the whimsical and versatile Dainty Flowers paper.
On one side of each sheet you can choose from a variety of elegant floral designs in different sizes and shapes. Or use the opposite side of each pattern for more pastel background layering pieces. This is a stunning set of papers that you won't want to miss out on! But as I said, this pack is only available until 28 February.

Yes, I have another fun fold card idea to share today - this one has 2 additional elements to it which makes it fun (and easy) to create. I decided to use my Decorative Borders stamp set for the main element. Did you even see this stamp set in the catalog? I overlooked it at first so maybe you did too:
Arthur Wesley Dow said, "Great art should come from the harmony of two lines." You’ll certainly find harmony in the lines of the Decorative Borders set. It includes flowers, leaves, and lines that you can use as borders, corners, and more. Stamp them in black to make a bold statement, then add colour with your favourite colouring technique - which is what I will be doing today. You’ll love the look of these delicate line-art flowers on your cards and other creations.
As I am in a 'Spring' mood right now I right away gravitated towards my Dandy Designs paper pack - remember this pack will retire forever on 28 February! Learn more about how to earn this paper pack for free here.
Need patterned paper that can be used for any season or occasion? The Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper is the one for you. It includes versatile patterns such as plaids, polka dots, and stripes. Make this paper the background for a card or scrapbook page. Or cut it into strips or accent pieces. However you use this paper, it will make any creation look 'dandy' (ha).
Today I have another fun fold card idea to share, one with a clever twist inside. I will be using my Delicate Desert paper
and my Desert Details bundle.
Infuse your crafting with desert serenity with the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper. The soft patterns have a Southwestern feel with warm greens, yellows, reds, and oranges in boho-style designs. One sheet even has an abstract desert sunset. Stamp on the paper, use the patterns as backgrounds, or cut them into smaller pieces for accents. This paper will warm your crafting hehe!
The Desert Details stamp set contains four messages to cheer everyone up, on any occasion or just because. Let the warm desert sun shine through your creations with these desert flowers, special patterns and uplifting messages! With a desert flower or two your creation will be even more beautiful! The long motifs will certainly come in handy too! They work great as borders or frames, or stamp them several times to create a background, for example.
My one big tip for today's card layout is to be careful choosing your paper pattern so that the layout matches the design. I explain more in my video below.

The Dainty Delight bundle is the perfect compliment for the paper pack:
Little flowers send a big message when you use this Dainty Delight stamp set. Sure, they're dainty, but they’ll send a powerful message of hope, thanks, celebration, and more on all your paper crafting projects. The line art images can be custom colored using your favorite Stampin’ Up! coloring technique. Stamp a single stem for a clean, minimalist look, or mix and match the images for a lovely field of dainty delights—no matter how you style them, you can’t go wrong with these delicate beauties!

This week I want to show you three different ways to add color to your cards, using my top 3 coloring tools! Each of these tools will add a different look to my card and the result is fabulous.
I decided to use my Dainty Delight bundle for the floral image on my card:
And to color the larger stamped image I will be using my top three coloring tools:
Stampin' Blends:
Stampin' Blends are alcohol markers and when you use them to color stamped images, they give you beautiful, rich, saturated smooth colors. The ink from Stampin' Blends will bleed through you paper so be sure to have grid or scrap paper underneath your card stock to protect your work surface.
Stampin' Write Markers - Blushing Bride
Stampin’ Write dual-tipped markers have a broad tip for coloring and achieving unique color effects and a fine tip for writing. I use these for a lighter look on my projects. You can color your images before stamping on card stock or use them to color images stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, my permanent ink of choice.
Blending Brushes - you need to see the smaller brushes now available in the Mini Catalog (Yippee!)
The small tip helps you apply ink with precision. The velvety soft bristles blend ink perfectly. Of course I had to get a pack of the smaller brushes to go with the larger set I already own.
And as I am going to use a design from the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper pack, I let the colors in this pack be the feature on my stamped image.
Did you know you can earn this paper pack with a $50 (€60) product order? Yes, you can, but only until 28 February 2023. This paper is so popular it may not last until the end of Feb so don't wait and be disappointed!
Although my card may look complicated, it is not - it just takes a bit of time to color the image. Here's my card, and don't miss my video below showing you how to make this card, step-by-step, along with bonus tips and design ideas!
