Gate Fold Pop Out

This week I have two videos! This fun fold card displays so nicely with no propping up! I've shown two different versions here, one using the Christmas Greenery bundle and the other using the Pretty Florals bundle. This fun fold is not at all difficult to make, although there are several layers to cut, but the end result is SO WORTH it!

 Watch the video and download the free PDF diretions. If you need a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I'd love to do that for you:)

Still Blooming in September

 Flowers are still blooming all over our yard here in South Carolina. Love the colors in this patterned paper! Petunia Pop is the bomb! You know when I was a teenager my comforter was a large colorful floral and the main color was very close to Petunia Pop:) My Mom was thrilled because I had some pink in my room lol! I was a tomboy who loved blue and she was always trying to subtly make a girl out of me.

Notice the sentiments on the inside? They are from a retired set. As all card makers do, I look for just the right sentiment for card to send to someone. Thanks to my Sentiments Binder, I can quickly and easily find just the right one out of my huge collection of stamps. A blog post and pictures are here: https://scmagnolia.blogspot.com/2025/09/craft-room-mini-make-over.html

Stamps	Pretty Florals bundle, Wisteria Wishes (retired)
Paper	Petunia Pop, Secret Sea,  Basic White, Old Olive, Garden Green, Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper
Ink	Petunia Pop, Old Olive, Secret Sea, Pretty in Pink
Tools	Sweet Blooms Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies

Craft Room Mini Make Over

 Since Stampin' Up! is changing the stamp packaging to envelopes instead of the CD cases, I decided to retro fit my stamp sets. Come watch the video and take a look at the photos. The Avery Elle Envelopes I used are from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Avery-Elle-SS-5001-Storage-PkgLarge/dp/B01LVVB59K/ref=sr_1_1_pp?sr=8-1

This is a kind of before photo of my stamp storage, I had just decided to convert to envelopes & bought the hot pink cratess to put envelopes in. After putting a few in the crates, I thought there's no way I want to take down an entire crate full of stamps to look through them for the one I want.

Before storage table. I looked over here and began thinking how else I could store the crates of stamps.

After: I moved the crates of stamps now stored in envelopes, to this taple top. This is right next to the basket of cards.

After: I moved the file box of current Patterned Paper to the storage cube where the CD storage case full of stamps was. I like this because now all my papers are in one spot. Current patterned paper on the left, then two file boxes of current cardstock. On the shelf below is a box of retired cardstock and one of retired patterned paper.

The diecutting and computer area didn't change.

My desk area did not change either, even Tesla is at home in her spot! I love having my childhood furniture in my craft space. My parents died when I was a young adult and this comforts me more than I can say. Besides, why shell out the big money to install cabinets and countertops when that money can be used for MORE ART AND CRAFT MATERIALS! lol Besides, I am my Scottish parents daughter, very practical; reuse instead of buying new.

Sentiments Binder

I have always copied the stamp insert page and filed each one in my Sentiments Binder. That way when looking for a sentiment and greeting for a card, I can easily see what I have available. After the mini makeover of my craft room, I wanted to make my binder more efficient. So I stamped all the sentiments and greeting in alllll of my stamps sets. I then wrote the name of the stamp set, drew a line then added the next one. I have dividers labeled with occasions such as: birthdays, thinking of you, thank you, baby, wedding/anniversary, etc.
