Whimsy & Wonder Fun Fold I just love the Whimsy &  Wonder specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP)! It is so beautiful on its own, that I don't want to cover it up, so this is a fairly simple card that lets the DSP shine. And you get to see both sides of the paper which makes this a great card layout to use for any DSP where you can't decide between 2 gorgeous prints on both sides.  Before I start on the card, I want to remind everyone that if there is something you really want from the July-Dec Mini Catalog that you need to buy it soon. Starting 12/1 everything is while supplies last but a few products are on reduced price starting at that date. Email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com if you want a list of what is carrying over to next year and what is on sale starting 12/1. Let's get going on making our card. First gather your supplies: 1. Polished Pink cardstock. 5 1/4 by 5 1/2" scored at 1" along the 5 1/4" side, a scrap for under the sentiment 2. Bas...

Gingerbread Slimline Card I've just been having such fun playing with the Gingerbread & Peppermint suite that I wanted to share another card with you using it. The special thing about this card is that it is a slimline card! I'm not sure if you've ever made one of those, but they are a lot of fun, and the gingerbread cookies in this set really lend themselves to this type of card. Doesn't this card make you crave gingerbread cookies? I can smell them now. I've seen slimline cards made all different sizes, but this one is 3 by 6" and really is this size because it fit into the cute little envelope I got off  Amazon. But some big news--I've seen the 2022 Jan-June Mini Catalog and we have our own slimline envelopes and dies in the new catalog! YAY! Those envelopes are 3 7/8 by 8 7/8" so we can make even larger cards.  Let's get going on making our card. First gather your supplies: 1. Real Red cardstock 6 by 6" and scored at 3" 2. Basic W...

Sparkly Peaceful Deer Every year I have a holiday card buffet for people to come over and make as many holiday cards as they'd like from an assortment of 12-17 cards. And every year I like to do at least one card in an unexpected color and this year I really wanted to do a black card, so here it is. I know you can't see it, but the deer and the ribbon are quite sparkly. If you watch my Facebook Live below you can see it better. I think this card is just the one if you want to send an elegant card to someone. This month is a great time to join my Robin's Rowdies team and then get 20% off all your Stampin' Up needs.

Fun Fold Frosted Gingerbread Card I've learned a new fun fold this week and thought I'd share it with you today. I learned this fold from Lyssa at Song of My Heart Studios--she used the Peaceful Cabin set to make her card and  I've made it using a couple other paper packs and it comes out great every time. This is what I love about Stampin' Up--everything coordinates so well and I can always make a great card with our products. Here's a picture of our card opened up and it folds up to fit in a regular envelope. Let's get going on making our card. First gather your supplies: 1. Real Red cardstock cut 5 1/2" by 11" scored at 4", 5 3/4", 7 1/2" and 9 1/4" 2. From what's leftover from the Real Red cardstock above, cut a 6 by 3" strip and score at 3" and use a scrap piece for the die cut for the last page 3. Basic White-- 2 pieces 2 3/4" squares and 1 piece 2 3/4 by 3 1/2" 4. Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP-- 1 p...

Eden's Garden Fun Fold Today I want to share with you a brand new suite that comes out November 2, 2021 called Eden's Garden. The stamp set and dies will be available in the upcoming Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog but the gorgeous papers and gems are only available now while supplies last. As of today, I only own the paper so I thought I'd share it with you as well as a fun fold that shows off 3 of the new papers in this set. This is a great fun fold for showing off any of our sets of matching paper. The papers in this DSP all have one side with shiny gold accents and a green, more neutral pattern on the other side--they would be great for holiday cards also. Here's a peak at the other parts of the suite.  Let's get going on making our card. First gather your supplies: 1. Soft Succulent cardstock cut 5 1/2" by 11" scored at 1 3/4, 5 1/2 and 9 3/4" 2. Basic White cardstock cut 4 by 5 1/4" for the inside and a scrap for the sentiment piece. 3. Soft Suc...
