The Holiday Catalog is available for Demonstrators to order from.  It’s one of my favorite perks – having access to catalogs and products  before the “go live” date.  On this card, the new products I used were the Totally Trees stamp set and the rich and beautiful Petals and Paisleys Designer Series Paper.

Join my team, Deb’s Big Shots and you can enjoy the perks we get as demonstrators, including discounts on products!  For only $99, you can fill your Starter Kit with up to $125 of any products you choose.  Shipping is FREE on the Starter Kit, which saves you 10%!

Both Hobby and Business Demonstrators are welcome!  As a Demonstrator,  you will have the opportunity to attend a Demonstrator Only Event in November.  Coming soon to several locations across the country.

I’d love to have you join me at this event where you will have hands on access to new products,  see display boards and demonstrations and network with other people who share your passion for stamping/papercrafting.  You won’t be disappointed!

The nearest location for me is in Madison, WI where I was chosen to be a Display Board Demonstrator.  That means I’ll be making projects with new, upcoming products and the projects will be on display at the On Stage Local Event in Madison.  So excited about this opportunity!

If you have any questions about becoming a Demonstrator, please email me: [email protected]

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Stamping!

Photo Tutorial for Fancy Fold Card

, ,
Comments: 1

Yesterday, I promised a photo tutorial for this card that I made for the August Pals Blog Hop.  See that blog post here.

One of my friends and customers, Linda Lais showed me a card that she had made in this style.  I loved the Fancy Fold design and had to make one for myself.
Pals Blog Hop

The card base is 4″ X 8″; score at 4″.  To cut the diagonal, position the score line of the card base and the bottom corner of the card base, both on the 1/4″ line of the Stampin’ Trimmer.   Make the diagonal cut.

How to cut base

It should like this on the Stampin’ Trimmer after you make the cut.

Base cut

And look like this when the card base is laid out flat.

base cut and laid flat

The Very Vanilla insert is 3- 1/4″ X 7-1/2″; score at 3-3/4″.  Adhere to the card base like this.

Now you are ready to decorate the front of the base and the front of the insert as desired.   I started with a 4″ X 4″ piece of Designer Series Paper and cut it on the diagonal just like I did the card base.   The Rich Razzleberry piece was cut at 3″ X 3-1/2″.

Give this style Fancy Fold card a try.  I’d love to see a photo of your creation!

Join me on Oct. 1st for a World Cardmaking Day Stamp Camp.  It’s going to be a FUN, inspiring day!  You can also find me on Facebook at Deb’s Stampin’ Grounds.

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Stamping!

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for August 2016.  We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month we are featuring projects using our favorite Stampin’ Up! cutting tools. There are so many wonderful punches, framelits and edgelits available that help make papercrafting more detailed and fun! We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

For my project I created a Fancy Fold card and featured the Flourish Thinlits and Classic Label Punch to do my cutting.  Here is my card when it is closed.
