Fancy Folds are Fun! Especially when all the pieces arrive in your snail mail box so you are ready to stamp and assemble along with me. The greeting cards featured below were designed with the snowy season and flowery season in mind. There is one of each design in the kit.

A patterned paper sampler will also be included with the patterns being kept a surprise. No stamped images will be included in accordance with Stampin’ Up! policy.

These kits were designed exclusively for the One of a Kind Facebook live event on January 23, 2021. Join me live during this event to assemble your kits. Or, watch my Youtube video posted to my Youtube channel with the link emailed to you. You pick which option to stamp with me:) The Youtube video will post after January 23rd.

Facebook Event Today at 2pm central

I’ll be clearing off my desk space so I can assemble these kits with you today at 2pm central through the One of a Kind Facebook group. They all feature angle cut cardstock so I called them my Angle Card Kits in the Mail. The Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder punch was used to finish the cards to create 4 different looks.

I still have kits ready for Monday shipping if you are interested in ordering a box. Each box includes 4 each of the 3 apple/pumpkin designs. That means you can share 3 cards of each design and keep 1 of each design in your idea file.

In addition, 1 Halloween kit and tutorial for this design is included too. I just could not resist including the Halloween design even though you might be receiving the box after Halloween! So that’s a total of 13 kits in the box.

PLEASE NOTE: I can swap out the Halloween design for the caramel apple finished card shown below. Please let me know if you would like the swap when you order your kit.

Order your box my clicking the Contact button at the top of my blog or PM me in Facebook and ask for the Angle Card Kits. I’ll send a PayPal invoice to your email address for $30. Shipping is USPS priority rate so the box should arrive to you within a few days of ordering. Porch Pick Ups from the Sun Prairie, Wisconsin area are available too.

PLEASE NOTE: To finish the cards according to the samples, purchase the following items from my online store by clicking on the words for the particular product. If you have a similar stamp set/punch in your stash already, those should work if they are about the same size as the Stampin’ Up! versions. I am including 1 punched pumpkin in your kit so you can trace around that on the included cardstock and cut out the shapes in case you don’t want to purchase the Apple Builder punch. You will need to use your markers to create the pumpkin veins and apple details if you don’t purchase the Harvest Hellos stamp set.

Here is what I used to finish the card kits:

Harvest Hellos stamp set, Apple Builder punch, Real Red ink pad, Real Red reinker, Granny Apple Green ink pad and Pumpkin Pie ink pad.

Assorted adhesives for piece assembly and scissors to cut the ribbons are needed too. Stampin’ Up! does not allow demonstrators to include stamped images in kits. So that is why you need to provide the stamp set, punch and ink pads. I’ll provide the papers for the stamped and punched images. I just can’t do that work for you. Last, your ribbons and patterned papers may arrive in assorted patterns and colors that are different from the sample photos. Thank you for understanding.

Here are links to my Youtube videos for the kit assembly in case you need to see how the angle cuts are created and piece measurements.

How about joining me and a few other demonstrators for a virtual Black Friday event? Details for this event can be found by clicking here. Getting a ticket to the event is as easy as placing a $35 or more order (excluding shipping and tax) by clicking on this link to order from my online store which is linked to host code G4SRFDHN.

The Annual and August-December Mini Catalog can be downloaded through those images on the right side of my blog as well.

One of a Kind Virtual Facebook Event Recap

Thanks to Brian and Carol from the One of a Kind Stamp and Scrap Expo for hosting their first virtual event today on Facebook. It was fun to be a presenter and share my One Sheet Wonder Create Along with Me. Here is what I created during the session…

IMG_0968

That’s 9 cards from one sheet of Peaceful Poppies designer series paper!

Here is the scrap map for cutting the dsp. Follow the circled numbers to make the cuts at the designated inch mark.

IMG_0963

I’ll also shared a scrapbook layout using a second, magnificently printed paper with 2 rows of poppies that can be cut in half.

IMG_0964IMG_0965

The scrapbook layouts did not use a full sheet of dsp for the photo mats and only a few pieces of cardstock.

These are the supplies I started with to create the cards: 9 card bases, 9 inside whisper white card liners, 9-5×4 inch solid color cardstock that has been embossed, 2-4×4 inch solid color cardstock, 9 punched pieces large enough for your sentiment, 9 pieces of about 3.75 inch ribbon, 1-12×12 inch boldly printed designer series paper, self adhesive embellishments, stamp set with sentiments, ink pad and personal trimmer.

One of a Kind Virtual Facebook Event

The One of a Kind Stamp and Scrap Expo is an in person event held at the Madison, Wisconsin Alliant Energy Center in October. The show has been around for many years and showcases all that the stamping and scrapbooking world has to offer. I have been a vendor for the past few years and have been in and out of the show since it started.

The show organizers also have a store which has been closed due to Staying Safer at Home. So instead of foot traffic, they have created a virtual Facebook event that we can participate from the comfort of our stamp spaces. Grab your coffee, tea and biscuits, it runs from 10am-4:30pmish today!  Click this link to join the group.

I’ll be hosting a One Sheet Wonder Create Along at 3pm in this group. Grab these supplies if you want to join me:

9 card bases, 9 inside whisper white card liners, 9-5×4 inch solid color cardstock that has been embossed, 2-4×4 inch solid color cardstock, 9 punched pieces large enough for you sentiment, 9 pieces of about 3.75 inch ribbon, 1-12×12 inch boldly printed designer series paper, self adhesive embellishments, stamp set with sentiments, ink pad and personal trimmer.

The scrap map will be similar to the Bird Ballad map I used last Sunday during a Facebook Live Create Along on my business page. I’ll post what I create and also the revised scrap map after the session.
