Hello hello, y’all! Happy Sunday! Hope your weekend is going well – you have nice weather – AND – you’re ready for September. Cuz…it’s bearing down on us like a freight train!! Day after tomorrow – and it’s a BIG DAY!
On that day – you’re going to be able to pick up a few of the cool things that I’ve used on today’s fun fold card. It’s decorated with some pretty hot foiled vellum Lustrous Leaves (new on 1 Sept!) and a sentiment (and a few other things!) from the Elegant Leaves stamp set (ALSO coming on 1 Sept!). A little plaid Painted Patch DSP (yup – ALSO new on the 1st) – added a little whimsy. Take a look-see:
Well, y’all did it! Made it to another Friday! Pat yourselves on the back!
Go ahead.
I’ll wait.
(doo-do-doo-do doo-doo-do-doooo….doo-do-doo-do-DOO-doo-do-doo – doooooo)
Good?
Okay. 😉
Today’s card is a fun fold – called a hidden slider card. Cuz…looks normal on the outside and there’s a hidden….SLIDER!…on the inside!

Good morning, y’all! Hope you had a great weekend and that the week ahead is looking good for you! We had a nice visit with our friends last night and sourdough pizza is ALWAYS a good thing!
Today’s card is a bounty of sneak peeks (all that will be available on 1 Sept!) – the new Design a Tag stamp set and Sunflower Fields DSP from the new Sept-Dec 2026 Catalog and a beautiful new hot foil die set – the Wreath & Wonder Dies! I pulled them – and a few more new goodies! – together to make a pretty Thanksgiving card. Take a look-see:
Happy Sunday, y’all! The bread is fixin’ to go in the oven after it’s overnight cold-proof, we’re running the vacuum and tidying up and then the pizza dough will get underway! Whoo-hoo! Hope you’re having a good weekend, too!
Today’s card uses a technique called “stack, cut and shuffle” and it’s a super handy thing to know how to do – especially as we head into the holidays! This one is a thank you card – and it showcases two new Online Exclusive products available on 1 Sept! The Thanks & Giving stamp set for a pretty wreath and sentiments and the gorgeous Autumn Opulence DSP. Take a look-see:

Today’s card is a fun fold – I’ve called it a Book Fold Pop-up Easel Card – that’s a fun way to showcase some new goodies coming on 1 Sept (which is just around the corner!) in the new Sept-Dec 2026 Catalog! It’s all from the All Wrapped Up suite – including the specialty DSP of the same name, and both bundles in the suite – the Wrapped Greenery and Elegant Greenery bundles. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Monday! Is that an oxymoron for you?! If it is – I am sorry!! 🙂
Today’s card is a Halloween card – I know. I wasn’t going to do more Halloween cards and then I saw the Design a Tag stamp set – coming new in the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog on 1 Sept. It’s got fun little sentiments – and a super cute witch’s hat and….I had to use it! So I combined it with the Tile Garden die set – also coming new in the new catalog and some Frightfully Fun DSP (available right now!). Take a look-see:
Happy Half-way-thru the weekend, y’all! Hope it’s going well! Our company will arrive today and since I didn’t get as much cleaning done yesterday as I’d planned – you know what I’ll be doing this morning!! LOL
For today’s card, I went back to one of the very first techniques I used to make a card to share on this blog. It’s called Triple Time Stamping – and it’s super easy but looks totally cool! This one I did using the new Painted Pumpkins bundle – with the cool masks! – and the new Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder – all of which are coming on 1 Sept in the new catalog. Take a look-see:
I started with three pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock that I stacked up on my work surface – securing them together with some re-positionable tape runner (that I got on Amazon and is really handy!).
At the bottom of the smallest – middle – panel, I stamped the sentiment from Painted Pumpkins (available 1 Sept) in Secret Sea Ink.
Using both of the pumpkin stamps in the set, I stamped all over in Secret Sea ink.
Then I used the masks and Small Blending Brushes to color the pumpkins.
– Mask 1: Flirty Flamingo
– Mask 2: Timid Tiger
– Mask 3: Golden Glow
I stamped the leaf image all over in Pool Party ink.
I pulled the small sentiment panel off and embossed the other two – still stacked – in the new Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder (coming 1 Sept in the new catalog).
I adhered each of the panels to their Secret Sea mat using Liquid Glue. Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the middle panel to the largest.
Then I used the die in the Painted Pumpkins set to cut out four Pool Party leaves. I adhered them to the middle panel with Liquid Glue.
I tied a bow from two lengths of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine and adhered it with Liquid Glue.
I added the sentiment panel with double-stacked Black Stampin’ Dimensionals – added some Golden Glow Painted Patch Dots (in the Suite and available on 1 Sept) and the card front was done.
For the inside, I stamped a second Painted Pumpkins sentiment – and a couple of pumpkins in the corner – in Secret Sea ink. I used the masks again to color the pumpkins. Then I added a few more of the Golden Glow Painted Patch Dots.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Pool Party card base, popped the card front on with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Painted Pumpkins on the front…
…and a piece of the Painted Patch DSP (available on 1 Sept) on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Well – the more I play with all the pieces and parts of the Painted Pumpkins bundle – the more I love it! Stamped images – sentiments – perfect masks for coloring – and amazing die cuts – ALL make for so many possibilities for your projects! And, of course, the colors in the coordinating Painted Patch DSP are a wonderful place to start (and you CAN cut out a bunch of pretty pumpkins using the dies in the set – BOOM!).
I hope you like and…are adding to your gotta-get-it list for 1 Sept!

And – remember the card I told you was one of my first? I used the Ornamental Pine stamp set – one of the very first SU! products I ever purchased – and one of my all-time faves! I actually made this in a hotel room in California – at Edwards AFB (it wouldn’t be the LAST card I made in a hotel room, for sure!). Made a whole set of them for my Mom! And – if you want a chuckle – check my oh-so-polished blog post (only the SECOND one I’d ever done!) on how I made it! 🤦♀️😂

Finn convinced Wayne to give him his water bottle on our walk back from the barn the other night.
He takes this mission VERY seriously!
Sometimes he stops to be sure there’s no deer.
All’s quiet, Mom! Continue mission.
Mission complete!
He’s a goofus – but…it was good to see him having fun!
