June Stamping Class Part Two

 So many beautiful new goodies to play with this month, it takes two blog posts just to tell you about them! The first one was created with the Notes & Totes bundle and Florals in Bloom DSP. I used Garden Green, Bubble Gum, and Pretty in Pink on the accents. The second card was made with the Inspiring Imperfections  bundle and the Kintsugi Inspirations DSP, oh! and those cute little embellishments are called Flower Accents. Basic White and Misty Moonlight provide the perfect color combo for this card.

As I mentioned in my previous post, due to the popularity of our June SALE, some of these items have temporarily sold out. However Ships will be arriving at our ports in Los Angeles in just a few weeks with more product.









June Stamping Class Part One

 This fun fold is so easy to make!  I used it in my local Stamping class this week. I've seen it around the internet called various things, but I call it the Mini Flap Fold. Such a unique name right? lol! These samples use products from two different suites. The first one is from Kintsugi Inspirations beginning on page 58, and the next two are from Beautiful Gallery beginning on page 52. With the sale going on this month, some of these items just sold out, but have no fear, the ships will arrive with more stock in July:) 

To make this fold, you need:

  • 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" (card base)
  • 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" score @ 3-1/4" (small card on front of card base)
  • 5-3/4" x 3-1/4" (2 die cuts, second largest square from Stylish Shapes Die) You can use any other shape in place of dies, if desired
  • DSP pattern A 4" x 5-1/4" (front of card base)
  • DSP pattern B 2" x 4 " (front flap of small card)
  • DSP pattern B 3" x 4" (inside small card)

Mystery Stamping!

 


Do you like making fun fold cards? How are you at following clues? You should play along with my first Mystery Stamping event!

If you’ve never seen a mystery stamping presentation before, it’s a lot of fun. You create with the supplies in your craft room by following a series of step-by-step clues that are put before you. You simply need to think outside the box using the supplies you have on hand. There’s no right or wrong in Mystery Stamping—only endless possibilities.

Sound mysterious??? Get ready to solve the mystery. Go into your crafting space and follow the clues to design a card. Then tune in on Monday to see samples of finished versions of this fun mystery stamping card. And thanks for tuning in!

Mystery Stamping June 7, 2025            Printable copy HERE

Clue #1:

  • Trimmer w/scoring blade
  • Bone Folder
  • Paper Snips
  • Stamp set/s with coordinating dies if you like
  • Designer Series Paper of your choice (DSP)
  • Ink pads that coordinate with the DSP
  • Cardstock colors that coordinate with the DSP as well as Basic White or Beige
  • Adhesives
  • Embellishments of your choice

Clue #2: This will be a landscape style card with the opening on the bottom. Cut and prep initial pieces.

Clue #3 The card base cut 4-1/4" x 5."

Clue #4 Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5-1/4" adhere to card base.

Clue #5 Basic White or Beige cs cut 4" x 11" score @ 3-3/4" and 7-1/2."

Clue #6 In the portrait position, with the largest section at the top, fold the score line closest to the bottom up toward the top. Then fold the score line closest to the top down towards the bottom. Close the flaps, and you will open them in this manner: open the first flap up, and the next flap down.

Clue #7 Adhere the the panel fold you just made to the card front so that the largest panel is on the top/front, with an even border on the top, right and bottom edges.

Clue #8 Cut DSP 3-3/4" x 3-1/2" and adhere to the top panel (the largest one).

Clue #9 Cut DSP 3-3/4" x 3-1/4" and adhere to the outside of the the panel that has an opening at the top. (After opening the first panel up, you see the second panel which you will open down. This is the one that gets this size DSP.)

Clue #10 Cut cardstock 3-3/4" x 7/8" and adhere to the left side of the card front, so that there is an equal border at the top, left, and bottom edges. There will also be a border to the right between this piece and the three panel fold.

Clue #11 Cut DSP 3/4" x 3-5/8" and adhere to the skinny little cardstock panel on the card front.

Clue #12 Turn the card base over and on the back, adhere a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock to the back of the card base. Then cut a 1" x 4" piece of DSP and adhere it to the left side of the white layer.

Clue #13 Stamp greeting and sentiment, any images and diecuts that you'd like to embellish your card.
