Hello stampers and happy Monday to you. I am squeezing in a New Horizons -Fold Card yet today. It really is much too late to write a blog at 8pm but I haven’t blogged in almost a week and I know I will feel much better if I get one written today. This card is simple yet stunning. I hope you will agree.
New Horizons Z-Fold Card
I made this New Horizons Z-Fold card this morning for my weekly Cheer Corner video. The New Horizons paper is simply stunning and it doesn’t need much extra to turn into a beautiful card. I decided to add some stamps from the Grassy Grove stamp set. Of course you could really step it up with die cuts and embellishments and I am sure I will do just that on another day. Let’s take a look.
If you want to see how easy it is to make this card, just watch this short video. The card is 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″. Trim your New Horizons paper to 5 3/8″ and then cut at 2″ and 4″. Add a strip of basic white that is 2″ by 5 3/8″ and you are all set!

Saleabration Ends February 28
Did you know that you can get a free item with each $60 purchase? I will also give you an amazing pdf tutorial. One features all saleabration products and the other one is all 3D items, just let me know your preference, or with a $120 you will get both. The bonus this month is a Daffodil 12 x 12″ sampler tutorial!
Your Very Own Discount!
Did you know that you can get the starter kit from Stampin’Up! just to get your own discount? It starts with the amazing deal on the starter kit. The name is a little misleading because it really isn’t a kit. It is just an order that you can put anything you want into for a total of $165, not a penny more. You only pay $135 AND you get to choose TWO bonus stamp sets of your choice. In most provinces you do not pay and shipping or tax on this purchase which is an additional savings. I think the best part is that you get to join my fun and amazing team which comes with a lot of perks.
Still not sure if this is for you? Message me and we’ll set a time to talk so you can have all your questions answered. Remember, this is all about YOU, what you want. I am only here to help you make that happen. With 15 years of experience there isn’t much I haven’t seen or dealt with.

Hello stampers and happy Monday to you. Today I have another beautiful happy mail in Holland contest card for you and it is an altered Z-fold card. Thanks to Chris Margie for this card and for the instructions on how to make it. That is always appreciated! What I really loved is that she was inspired by the same person that I was for this type of card: Rachel Tessman. You can check out my blog post here for my card last year.
Hello stampers and happy Wednesday to you. Today’s card features a saying from Wrapped in Christmas but the focus is really the very fun Trimming the Town paper. This card was a result of the leftovers from the card I made on last Friday’s blog post.
Wrapped In Christmas
Wrapped in Christmas is a beautiful 10 piece cling stamp set with all Christmas sayings that is part of the Heartwarming Hugs suite. I love how this particular saying is long and narrow with a nice bold “JOY”. It really fits the mood of this card.
Z-Fold Card
I thought that a Z-Fold Card would be the perfect way to showcase this mountain paper with the skaters on the pond. The house is perched right on the fold and I used a pretty neat trick to make it work. Simply fold a punched circle in half. Adhere one half to the card with the straight edge of the fold along the fold of the card. Put adhesive on the other half of the circle and adhere to the house die cut.
The measurements for this card are base: 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″. The patterned paper is 5 3/8″ by 2″ with a red strip of patterned paper tucked in behind the last panel. That strip was 5/8″ by 5 3/8″.
The New Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
On Friday I will blog about this awesome new machine. To say that I am in love with it is an understatement. Today the magnetic plate came in and I am super impressed with all the thought that went into it. I just want to leave you with this thought. The starter kit is a super special deal right now and you could just put this machine into it. No tax, no shipping AND two bonus stamp sets, a package of rhinestones and 16 card kits PLUS a coupon for a FREE Paper Pumpkin. What are you waiting for? Here is the link to get yours today. Only catch? You have to be a Canadian to join with me. You do not need a host code, so click “no” to that question.
Thanks!

The video was an hour and fifteen minutes. If you want to join in, it’s not too late. It is only $10 a month and you get a free 16 project pdf tutorial each month AND a weekly video tutorial. Here is the link for that. I hope you have a super day!
Hello stampers and happy Wednesday. Today I have a simple Z-Fold card for you using the Peaceful Poppies paper and Peaceful Moments bundle. I find that a z-fold card is a great way to showcase two coordinating or contrasting patterned papers. The one I chose today is actually included in the free paper pack that you get when you get the starter kit with Stampin’Up! This is one sheet of paper, it has stripes on one side and a watercolour poppy design on the other side.
Z-Fold Card
I love the fresh colours of this paper and you can never go wrong with stripes and a floral together! The poppy on the sentiment is from the Peaceful Poppies elements. It is a watercolour paper die cut with embossing already on it, all you have to do is give it a watercolour wash with your aqua painter and some ink.
The label for the sentiment is used twice, once on the Z-fold panel and once again inside the card. I left the inside one blank so I could write something personal there. This saying is meant to be paired with the “With Deepest Sympathy” saying but I felt that it could be used on its own for a simple thinking of you card. There is a family in my hometown right now whose daughter was involved in an industrial accident. She will most likely be paralyzed from the chest down unless a miracle happens. It is already a miracle that she survived. How horrific for this twenty year old and her parents! This card will be for them.
Here you can see the top view of the z-fold card. It measures 4 1/4″ by 11″ and it is scored at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″. It is a super simple fold but so effective for showing off your beautiful paper. If you would like to see another example of a Z-Fold card, check out this blog post.
When You Want the Best Deal Ever
Imagine for a moment that you really love this Peaceful Poppy suite. How could you get it for the least amount of money? Put it in a starter kit. If you get both bundles, that is two stamp sets and two sets of framelits, add to that the Peaceful Poppies elements and the Poppy Parade ink pad. You will then have $4 left over. If you go the clearance rack there are about ten choices for that price point, but I would suggest the real red solid ribbon here. In your kit you will get the assorted patterned paper collection which includes the peaceful poppies paper used on this card. You will only pay $135 for all of this. If you would put it on a normal order in Ontario your total would be $204.85.
It gets better. You also get a free mini paper trimmer which is absolutely adorable and perfect for using up your little bits of paper and cardstock for banners and sayings. Lastly, you get to choose one extra stamp set of your choice from either the mini or the annual catalog. Why not pick a great expensive one? May I suggest Well Said, a set with 51 cling stamps with lots and lots of different sayings? It is worth $61. Another great choice is Rooted In Nature which is $57.
After getting this amazing deal where you save all the shipping and tax AND get free stuff, you now will also get your very own discount of 20% on every order you place. You will keep this discount until the end of June no matter what. Did I mention that you also get a free Paper Pumpkin in your starter kit? I just had to tell the story about this amazing deal.

Rooted In Nature: Another Great Choice for your Freebie
