This month, our theme is to create a Stepper card. Here's the card I made for you today.  


The colors I used:  


Measurements:
Base (Berry Burst): 7" x 11"
Mat Layer (Bubble Bath): (If you prefer 1/4" borders you can adjust accordingly)
 - (2) 3 3/8" x 5 3/8"
 - 1 3/8" x 3 3/8"
 -  2 3/8" x 3 3/8
Designer Series Paper (DSP)
 - 3 1/4" x 5 1/4"
 - 1 1/4" x 3 1/4"

Instructions:

On the 7" side: align cardstock at the 3 1/2" mark and lightly draw a line from top to bottom
Turn the cardstock  90 degrees, align the paper at 5 1/2", and score to meet the pencil mark.
Turn cardstock 180 degrees and score at 1 1/2", 2 1/2", 5 (typo on the template), 8" and 9 1/2"
Fold and burnish the 5 1/2" scoreline
Mountain Fold the 1 1/2", 5" and 9 1/2" scoreline
Valley Fold the 2 1/2" and the 8"
Decorate and embellish as you wish.

In The Moment January - June 2022 Mini Catalog Sneak Peak

Hello, all! Thank you for joining me for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop! For those of you who are unfamiliar, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who share our love of card making with you through monthly blog hops with various themes.  This month, we are sharing with you sneak peeks from the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog.  If you've come from  Mo Rootes'  blog, then you saw her project using the  Stampin' Up! Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper (DSP) . I hope these and the other projects serve to inspire your creativity.   Speaking of catalogs, if you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like a catalog, reach out to me. I'd love to get one out to you and to serve as your demonstrator. For my contribution to this blog hop, I chose the "In the Moment" set. I fell in love with this set, "In The Moment", the moment I opened my order and saw it.  This was another of the FREE swag bag produc...

Stampin' with Friends Technique Blog Hop - Masking

Hi there, Stamping Friends!  It's time for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop.  As you know, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators who enjoy paper crafting, creating cards, and other projects to share with each other and with you.

Stampin' with Friends Blog Hop Vine Design

Hi, so glad you decided to pop in to see what I have in store for you today.   This is my inaugural blog hop with Stamping with Friends. Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who enjoy sharing our love of paper crafting in general and for me, more specifically, card making with you. The group hosts two hops every month.   The theme for this hop showcases retiring sets, bundles, or products from the January - June 2021 mini catalog that retires at the end of this month.  I chose to feature the Vine Design Bundle. I was drawn to this bundle for many reasons; first, the die cuts are elegant and can stand alone to create a beautiful, simple yet elegant card, second, the sentiments also make it a very versatile set that covers multiple occasions, and third, I could see the possibilities with one of my favorite masking and blending techniques. I hope you enjoy this hop and the cards I created to share with you. This first card highlights the m...
