This great ‘Fun Fold’ really show cases this stunning Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper. I used a half sheet of DSP and cut each panel continuously so the flowers all flowed with just 3mm between each panel. (see YouTube Video)

This is a simple card to create, masking an area off area approx 6 x 8cm (2¼ x 3½”) using masking paper or ‘Post it Note Paper’. You want the masked area to be smaller than the stamp image, so that it has some ‘black and white’ image. Make sure the outer edge of the card front is covered so ink doesn’t colour the areas you want clean.
Using a Blending Brush, start with Fresh Freesia Ink and brush in a circular motion down 2/3rds of card front. From top down add Berry Burst to the top third of the card. Blending the Berry Burst into the Fresh Freesia. This also hid where I added too much ink in the Fresh Freesia (see Video).
Working from bottom up add Lost Lagoon blending it into the Fresh Freesia. Remove the masking paper.
Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the Enduring Beauty image over the top.

Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Designer Series Paper Challenge’ by Kayla Renee and I am using the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®. I love this DSP , it has this lovely mix of bright/modern and a traditional softness. At the moment it seems to be my go to paper.
Unfortunately it’s not a paper you can purchase, but you can earn it for FREE when you spend $90 or more. The Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper is one of the many products in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue

Instagram Story by Srusht Patil showing Tutorial of Pop Card .
I saw this card on Instagram a couple of weeks ago and decided to give it a try. The card made by Srusht is a large card format so I have reduced the measurements to fit with a standard card. I have made a few changes in using less DSP to suite what I was wanting to create.

My card I created using the Jungle Pals Stamp Set and coordinating Jungle Pals Dies from Stampin’ Up!® Jan-Feb Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. The style of card is a floating card, it gives the illusion that the leaves are floating above the card base.

Adhere Adhesive Sheets to the back of Basic White strips. TIP: Adhesive Sheets have 3 sections on the sheet approx 5cm wide and is a little longer than cardstock – one section for each strip.
Die cut approx 15 leaves
Using Blending Brush and Garden Green Ink, lightly brush around the edges leaving some white in the center of the leaves.
Window sheet
Adhere the leaves to the window sheet radiating out from one point. This is where my crocodile will be places
Take leaves to the outer edges of the window sheet and trim off any over hang. These can then be used to fill in any spaces.
Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies (size used – 8.5 x 12cm, 3 ⅜ x 4⅝”), die cut the window sheet and leaves. TIP: You may need to run though a few times or even add a shim to make sure it is cut through.
Place Mini Dimensionals onto the back of the window sheet, hiding them behind the leaves
Attach window sheet to the card base.
Crocodile
Stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad and coloured with Watercolour Pencils and Stampin’ Blend Color Lifter
Add dimensionals to crocodile and attach where leaves radiate from.
Sentiment – outside and inside.
‘Hey, There’ from Charming Sentiments stamped in Melon Mambo and punched out using the Bee Builder Punch as a speech bubble (great idea from Julie, while watching my Live)
Using Multi Purpose Glue adhere the speech bubble to card.
Also stamp ‘What’s New!’ on the bottom right corner of the Basic White Card Insert.
Card Insert
Adhere to the inside of the card Base.
Classic Matte Dots – colour using Stampin’ Blends Melon Mambo and adhere to the card.

I coloured the Toucan using Stampin’ Blends. Did you know Toucan’s come in all different colours? I researched them on Google and in the end looked up cartoon images for the Toucan. He was fun to colour!
The colours I used were…
poppy Parade
Parakeet Party
Azure Afternoon
Daffodil Delight
Pumpkin Pie
Basic Black
The back ground for this card was coloured using Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Azure Afternoon and Blueberry Bushel inks with a Blending Brush.
I wanted this card to look lush and bright, with lots of layers of different greens creating depth and flowers in bright colours.
After the Live had wrapped up I decided to add the Black Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems, as I felt it just need something to finish the flowers…to add a little bit of ‘POP!’

Today’s card I have used the Stippled Roses Bundle from the Stampin’ Up! ® Jan – April Mini Catalogue. This is a beautiful detailed stamp with coordinating Dies that not only cut the images out but extra elements as well.
The Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper used in this card can be found in the Jan – Feb Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. When you purchase the Stippled Roses Bundle for $94.50 (AUD) you can get the Softly Stippled DSP for FREE!
I chose to keep this card all the same in colour to also play on the same tone Designer Series Paper, but you could very easily add colour to the Roses and Leaves to change the look completely.
By adding the Vellum die cut leaves under the Pebble Path die cut leaves it softens the look, making it look just that little bit lighter and lacy.

On Friday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this Z-Fold Card and used the Simply Sparkling Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®.
The Simply Sparkling Bundle is a fun and bubbly bundle, you can let your imagination go with this one, creating cards for all ages . You can stamp the soda can & die cut as is or create the can with the can top, bottom and pull tab in die cuts. The same goes with the fruit…stamp and colour, stamp on coloured cardstock or die cut the fruit using the smaller die pieces. I love the bubbles…again stamp or die cut.
My suggestion is to have the Adhesive Sheets on hand as some of these pieces are small.
The Z-Fold card is a simple and versatile Fun Fold. It can be used in a portrait card, as I have done here or in landscape cards (with the fold on the side). The Z-Fold is the base to many other card styles, for example an Easel Card, Double Z-Fold.
A Z-Fold is created when you fold the card in half and then fold the front of the card back on it’s self. With my card I have added a panel to the front of the card extending across the inside of the card.

Yesterday on ‘Live with Michele’ I played with this simple and fun card…using the Stampin’ Up! ® Joy Of Noel Stamps and Dies Bundle. It was like playing with building blocks.
If you don’t have this bundle grab it now as it is on the ‘Last Chance Sale’ , while stocks last.
Below I have added measurements and a couple of handy tips, also the Youtube Video if you missed my Live. A list of all the supplies I used is also listed where you can just add everything to your Shopping Cart.
The September–December 2023 Mini Catalogue is retiring soon! It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to a Stampin’ Up! catalogue, but we’re looking forward to all the new products on their way—and we hope you are, too!
From 21 November 2023–3 January 2024, you can stock up on your favourite seasonal products and save up to 60% on essential craft supplies! So, what are you waiting for? Start shopping and selling! After all, a selection of Last Chance Products will only be available while supplies last.

The above Conversion from Metric to Imperial is as close to what I used (Metric)…these measurements may change depending on Envelope size. I used a Stampin’ Up! Square Envelope (Discontinued) as my guide and it was 14cm Square. You could only use this size or larger as the Dies control the size.
Dry fit your letters in the order you want before glues, as you saw in my video just changing placement of squares messed up my placement.

Last night on my Tuesday Night ‘Live with Michele’ I created this stunning card. I used a NEW Designer Series Paper (DSP) called Light & Airy. This is a sneak peak to one of the DSP’s available in January in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!®.
It is a stunning paper of beautiful watercoloured birds and back grounds. I have used two of the six designs in this card.
I also used a leaf die from another Bundle – Stippled Roses Bundle, another sneak peak from the 2024 Mini Catalogue by Stampin’ Up!®.
If you are wanting a copy of these 2 catalogues and you ‘Live in Australia’ please contact me and I will get copies out to you when they become available.
