Angela's PaperArts: Heart Shaped Bundle Valentine's Day card

For Valentine's Day tomorrow I created this gatefold card.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up heart shaped bundle gatefold card

It features the Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration Heart Shaped bundle (only available until 28 February, 2025 or while stock lasts) along with a sheet of the Marbled Elegance designer series paper which has cute little hearts on it.

If you're wondering how I got two colours onto the stamped heart image, here a little technique tip:

  • I inked the heart stamp first in Flirty Flamingo ink
  • I then used a sponge dauber to randomly dab Cherry Cobbler ink onto the heart stamp too.
  • I stamped the image which resulted in the two-tone heart inside the card.

I hope you found this tip useful.

Angela's PaperArts: Meandering Meadows pop-out panel birthday card

I do like making special fold cards and today's birthday card is no exception. One of my favourite Online Exclusive paper packs, Meandering Meadows, is being discontinued and features on this card.

From the outside it looks like a standard card, but inside is where things get a bit more interesting.

Here's the inside of the card.

Whilst I, like most crafters, like to use new things, I still find myself reaching for some of my older, favourite stamp sets & dies too. For this card I did use some retired Stampin' Up! stamp & die sets, along with the Snazzi Scrappin pop-out panel card die set (which makes it quicker to create this card style compared to when I used to manually cut it). If you like butterflies, the current Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies or Beautiful Butterflies bundles are a good substitute to the retired ones used on this card.

If you like the Meandering Meadows paper you can find it and many other reduced & discontinued products in the Last Chance section of my online store. 

Stampin' Up! updates:

  • Two new Kits have been released today. These are perfect for the time poor crafter.
  • Sale-A-Bration continues until the end of February. The good news is that additional Level 1 freebie options are available to select for eligible orders while stock lasts. It's the perfect time to stock up on your crafting essentials and earn some free products.
