14 Hydrangea Haven cards - video overview

Watch the video to see 14 cards that I made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set and coordinating products.  (If you are viewing this in your email - you may need to click on the title to load the video.)

I was happy to see this stamp set, coordinating dies, ribbon, and pearls in the 2021-22 Annual Catalog (which will be available on May 4.)  But sadly, the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series paper is NOT in the new catalog.  So if you like the first 7 cards that I made - make sure you purchase the DSP while it is still available.

Below is an extensive list of the products that I used to make these cards.  Many are on the last chance list - which you can view by CLICKING HERE.   I will be featuring several of these cards later this week - so stop by for measurements and tips for making them!

If you have any questions in the meantime - just CONTACT ME with your questions.  I am here to help!

Million Dollar Fun Fold Card

I made this card for my Stampin' Up! team leader, Susan Elise.  She recently achieved a milestone in her Stampin' Up! business -  life time sales of ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!  This is such an awesome achievement that I had to make her a special card.  I went searching through Pinterest - and found a pin from 2016 for the Fun Fold Card you see in the photo above.  The original idea was from Lyssa Zwolanck.  You can see her card HERE.  I made a few slight adjustments to her measurements.  

The photo below shows the front of the card and the envelope. The products used on this card are from the Hydrangea Hill suite of products, which is in the current January- June 2021 mini catalog.

#154470   Hydrangea Haven photopolymer stamp set  $26

(#156251  Hydrangea Haven stamp set and coordinating dies  $52)

Below are the stamp sets that I used to stamp additional greetings inside Susan Elise's card:

# 149278  Seaside Notions cling stamp set $22

#152568  Best Year cling stamp set  $20

#154411 Dragonfly Garden cling stamp set  $23

Watch the video below to learn how to make this kind of card.  It is not difficult and it is perfect for showing off the beautiful Designer Series Papers from Stampin' Up!  The greetings are all from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set.

Here is the card that I featured in the video.  

Basic Directions for making this card:

(watch video for better explanation)

• Card stock  card base is 5- 1/2 x 11- 1/2; score at 1/4, 3- 3/4, 7- 1/4
• Turn card stock and cut 5/8" off the long side of the card; from the edge with the 1/4" flap to the last score mark
• Accordian fold the card base
• Attach a 2 -3/4 x 4 - 1/4 piece of card stock to the 1/4" flap, making sure the piece is flush to the bottom of the card base: snip off the extra 1/4" flap
• Decorate the panels, using the dimensions in the photo below

Please E-MAIL me if you have any questions or if you notice an error in the directions or measurements.

This week I will be celebrating my 13th year as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I joined on March 5, 2008.  It all started with a workshop, which I hosted so that I could get the supplies for making my Christmas cards for FREE (with hostess rewards.) After the workshop, Susan Elise talked to me about joining her Stampin' Up! team.  It took a while for me to say "YES" but I am sure glad that I did!  I have made so many friends and have had fun traveling to Salt Lake City, Orlando, Atlantic City, and other places to attend Stampin' Up! events.  For information about joining MY team - just CLICK HERE.

I will be offering specials all week in my private Facebook Group, LET'S STAMP A LITTLE.  Be sure to join that group so you can take advantage of several specials, including deep discounts on retired Stampin' Up! products/ Help me get rid of some of the stuff I have hoarded over the past 13 years!  Much of it has never been used - or is very gently used.

Thanks for stopping by!

1/2 strip of Designer Series paper was placed behind the label  (Did you watch long enough to see how I used the Tailored Tag punch to make the flags on the ends of the paper?)

Fun Fold Birthday Card

This is a fun fold card that I made for two friends who had birthdays in June.  I copied the idea from a card that I received from my sister - I will show that card at the end of this blog post.

I have seen similar cards on Pinterest - and even though it may look difficult - this card is actually quite easy to put together.  I used that adorable paper from the last mini catalog which is sadly no longer availabe to purchase.  I hope my friends didn't think it was too childish - I like bright and cheery birthday cards, and we are all young at heart. 

This card would work with any coordinating papers and could be used for any occasion.  The "Happy Birthday" greeting is from the Seaside Notions stamp set - which I will be featuring in my August ZOOM class.  Details about that class will be posted soon!  This will be a BONUS card you will make it that class, with a minimum purchase.

In the photo above - you can see how this card opens and below is a photo of the card fully opened.  It is a regular sized card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and fits into a Stampin' Up! medium sized envelope. Do you see that I used the scalloped edge die from Stitched Be Mine dies to create the bottom border on the white piece?   I stamp two retired greetings for the inside.

Measurements for making this card (inches):
Card base is 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 2 3/4 & 8 1/4
Designer Series Paper: 1 5/8 x 5
Coordinating card stock: 1 7/8 x 5 1/4
White for inside of card: 4 x 5 1/4

Tailored Tag punch was used to punch the label for "Happy Birthday" greeting
1/2 strip of Designer Series paper was placed behind the label  (I punched the edges on that strip using the Tailored Tag punch.  Can you figure out how I did it?!)

Below are some of the products I used to make the cards.  Click on any image for more information or to add it to your shopping bag in my online store.



And here is the card that Donna sent me - for no particular reason except to brighten my day.  Which it did!

If you have any questions about how to make this cards, please EMAIL me.
