Hidden Pop-Up Flap Fold

December 10, 2022December 10, 2022 vargasmj21

I am back! I went to visit my family for about 15 days… and I have to be honest, I was so busy, between work, getting ready for Thanksgiving and getting ready for the trip. I was not able to keep up with the blog, although I did have my regular lives on Tuesdays… but I was not able to even write the measurements.

Here is the card I made right before leaving… using the Gnomes dies and some stamps form the Regal reindeer stamp set.

Super cute Christmas Pop Up Card

November 2, 2022November 6, 2022 vargasmj21

Creating pop up cards has become a fun learning process/ challenge for me. Just like any other card, it has its own learning curve… and I think I am finally understanding well how to make these cards. I made a video tutorial to share with you what I have learned so far and create with you a super cute Christmas card.

I have realized that I get far too excited when I envision a card and when I actually have to make, several stamp sets or dies are needed to make it. The good news is that it shows that we can mix and match our stamps to create new outcomes. There are 3 different stamp sets/ dies being used in this card: Jingle, Jingle, Jingle, Cup of tea, and Regal Reindeer. I am also using the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series paper.

A twist on the planter fun fold card.

August 16, 2022August 16, 2022 vargasmj21

This “planter” fun fold card is definitely a card you need to try! The version I saw was focused on the “planter” part of the card… I figure we could spin it a little and get creative. I can only imagine the happiness it will bring to the recipient. Let’s learn together how to make this card. Check out the video tutorial for the instructions. Below you will find the free pdf tutorial.

I made 2 different versions of this card, using products from the Mini Catalog. The card on the video uses the Kindest Gnomes bundle and Storybook Gnomes paper. These 2 products belong to the Storybook Gnomes Suite, a super fun and playful suite in the mini catalog. I love the the bundle can be used for all seasons. The second card is a Halloween card. This card uses a combination of last years products and the Scary Cute Bundle.
