Cardmaking Tutorials

Leave a comment November 4, 2026 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Have you seen the new Funky Chunky Bundle from Stampin’ Up!? This fun new Online Exclusive is perfect for creating bold, colourful handmade cards, and I couldn’t wait to share it with you!

For this week’s Global Design Project #GDP572, we were challenged to CASE a card by the talented Mikaela Titheridge. CASE stands for Copy and Selectively Edit, and it’s a wonderful way to find inspiration while putting your own creative spin on a design.

I used this challenge as an opportunity to play with some brand-new Stampin’ Up! products!

A Bold Handmade Card with Funky Chunky

For my card, I combined the Funky Chunky Bundle with some of the beautiful 2026–2028 In Colors. The new Herringbone Embossing Folder adds fabulous texture, while a black hot-foiled sentiment provides a striking finishing touch. I also incorporated coordinating Designer Series Paper and In Color Dots to bring everything together. I love how these different elements work together to create a card that’s full of personality!

Watch the Cardmaking Replay

I featured this card during my Wednesday evening Facebook and YouTube LIVE, sharing how I put the design together and offering some tips along the way.

Watch the replay below!
