Heart Shaped Fun Fold

I've had a lot of fun playing with the 2025 Sale-a-Bration products this month, and this card includes 2 of them--the Heart Shaped bundle and the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper. I especially love this heart shaped die cut in the bundle and can see using it for Valentine's Day, anniversary cards, birthday cards or just to tell someone I love them and are thinking about them. Remember you can get these items for free, each with a $60 order until the end of February, or while supplies last. 

I know it looks like a typical card, but if you check it out below, or on my Facebook Live at the bottom of this post, you will see that it has a special way of opening that we've not done before. 

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

1. Bubble Bath cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 7 1/4" scored on the long side at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4". 
2. Basic White cardstock--a piece 2 3/4" by 5 1/4" for the inside of your card and a 3" square for the front
3. Bloom Impressions DSP--one piece 2 3/4" by 5 1/4" and the second one 1" by 5 1/4", a piece 2 1/2" by 2 3/4" for the heart
4. Melon Mambo cardstock--cut one of the flowers from the Heart Shaped dies
5. Stamp Sets--Heart Shaped
6. Dies--Heart Shaped
7. Ink--Shy Shamrock
8. Blooming Pearls
9. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Take Your Pick Tool,  Regular and Mini Dimensionals, Piercing Mat or Glass Mat Studio

Fold the Bubble Bath card base along the 4 1/4" fold and fold backwards on the 1 1/4" fold.
Using Shy Shamrock ink, stamp the Heart from the Heart Shaped stamp set on the 3" Basic White square (towards the top) and also on the inside of the card. You could also stamp it on your envelope. Attach the inside piece as below.  

                       

Stamp the sentiment at the bottom of the 3" square in Shy Shamrock. Die cut the heart out of one of the Bloom Impressions DSPs with the heart die and attach it to the stamped heart on the 3" piece of Basic White. Attach the Melon Mambo flower using a Mini Dimensional. Put a large pink Blooming Pearl in the center of the flower and another large and small pearl as below. 


Put 3 regular Dimensionals in a row on the back of the right side of your square and attach it to the right front of the card--the Dimensionals should not overlap the 1 1/4" fold so that the card opens as below. Kind of different, right? 

Make sure the 3" square looks centered on the front when the card is closed.

                                               
Below is my Facebook Live from 1/20/25 where I make this card, and show you some tips to help with the cardmaking. Sorry that the words on the live are backwards--Facebook changed something today and I haven't figured it out yet.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
