Celebrate Sunflowers Double Pocket Card

Leave a comment April 27, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Every Wednesday morning I go live on FB and You Tube to create something using the Stampin’ Up! product that I am featuring that week. Today I focused on the beautiful Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and Sunflower Dies. The base of the card is made from the Heart & Home 12X12 DSP found in the Stampin’ Up! Jan – June 2022 Mini Catalogue.

The card base is actually made of DSP and is folded in such a way that it creates a sturdy card with 2 pockets. I put a Tailor Made Tag in the front pouch and plan to use the inside one for a gift card.

Check out my video below to find out how I created this Double Pocket Card. I learned this fold from a 2012 Patty Bennett video – this fold is an oldie, but a goodie. I also have a supply list below.

If you enjoyed this video, please leave a comment below and share the video with fellow stampers. Thanks!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #381 – Colour Challenge

2 Comments January 25, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is an awesome Colour Challenge. Take a look at all the beautiful cards created by our design team and then join the challenge.

I used the Flowering Tulips Bundle and a great gift card holder design by Erica Cerwin.

To create the basic card base I used Petal Pink Cardstock: 5-1/2″ X 11″, score the long side at 3-3/8″ from each end, then cut out the top corners leaving a 3″ tall door at the bottom.

Next I die cut the tulip petals out of Petal Pink and Basic White cardstock and used a Blending Brush to add Pumpkin Pie Ink to the flowers.

I put the tulip petal pieces together using Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots. I stamped some stems using Soft Sea Foam on a 2″ X 3-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock and attached the tulips above them.

The tulips and the sentiment were attached to the front flap using Dimensionals. The Basic White rectangle, DSP layer and the blank cardstock to write on were attached with Tear and Tape afterwards so they could be lined up to create a border around the tulips.

When I attached the cloud layer I used Tear and Tape around the edges only to create a pocket for a gift card.

The finished card fits nicely in a regular Medium Basic White Envelope and perfectly hides the gift card inside.

All of the supplies I used are listed below. You can place an order by contacting me directly or clicking on the image(s) below.

Petal Pink 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock $12.00	Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock $13.25	Flowering Fields 12” X 12” (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper $15.75	Flowering Tulips Bundle (English) $72.00	Scalloped Contours Dies $48.00

Pattern Party Double Easel Card

Leave a comment June 8, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

When it comes to fun folds I prefer a card that looks great both open and closed. This Double Easel does the trick.

To create this card, I used a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock (4-1/4″ X 11″, scored at 5-1/2″) and then I glued a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock (4″ X 10-1/2″, scored at 5-1/4″ and 2-5/8″) to the front center of the Coastal Cabana cardstock. Everything else is just decoration 🙂 Have fun adding your own layers of DSP and embellishments. You can watch the video below to find out exact details on how I decorated this one.

If you’d like to get a pack of this Pattern Party DSP for yourself, there are two ways. Host your own party ( or buy over $200CAD for yourself), then you can use $24 of your host rewards to get it. Or JOIN my $1000 Pattern Party.
