ENCOURAGEMENT FRAME
May 21, 2020
TEAM PROJECT
My team and I have been meeting online every week just to check in with one another. Ask and answer questions and learn something new. I have really enjoyed doing this because it gives me a chance to teach them new things. When we only meet face to face once a month it seems like I am not getting to let that creative side of me out. This way I can teach them things that are more difficult than what I would do at my classes because my classes are so large. For this reason, I am enjoying this time of No Contact. Here is a project that we did today.
If you are not currently part of my team and would like to know more about the benefits be sure to check out my Join My Team page or contact me. Right now if you join for $99 you will get $125 in products of your choice. Stampin' Up! pays the shipping. Of course, you have to pay the sales tax. You can order from the "Pre-order" for the new 20-21 Annual Catalog.

INSTRUCTIONS:
On the 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock, score on all four sides at 1/2, 1, 1 1/2 & 2
With the cardstock in the scoring board or cutter in portrait position (8 1/2" side at the top) score to the 2nd score line at 2 1/2 & 6
Rotate 180 degrees and do the same thing on the other end
Cut out all four of the 2 x 2 corners where all the score lines come together
Cut up the little score lines you made at 2 1/2 & 6 on each end. Then cut down from the outside edge of the 3rd score line to the top of the cut you just made at the 2 1/2" line. Do the same on all four sides. (see the pattern)
Adhere your DSP in the center of the cardstock, (this will be the inside of your frame)
Turn the cardstock over and put Tear 'N Tape on the first scored section of each edge, that is the section closest to the outside edge of the cardstock.
Turn the cardstock over and put Tear 'N Tape on the first scored section of each edge, that is the section closest to the outside edge of the cardstock.
Turn the cardstock back over so you are seeing the DSP and start with the two longest sides. Peel the paper off the Tear 'N Tape and roll it toward the center so the first panel with the tape is on the inside, laying on the bottom where the DSP is. Continue to the 2nd long side and do the same.
On the ends put just a tiny drop of glue on the inside corners. Fold the edge over so you can see where you will need the glue. Peel the Tear 'N Tape and roll it so that the panel with the Tear 'N Tape is on the bottom. Adjust the corners and hole them until the glue dries.

This double Z fold card is easy and makes such a statement to the person receiving it. This interactive card was created using the July 2025 Paper Pumpkin, Sweeter With you. Be sure to check out the Free Project Sheet giving you the measurements, products used and instructions.
I’m thrilled to share how I created a simple yet stunning sympathy card using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper and the Prairie Grass Stamp Set. The delicate patterns from the Designer Series Paper perfectly complemented the graceful prairie grass images, giving the card an elegant touch during such a heartfelt time. Personalizing it with heartfelt sentiments made it all the more special. If you’re looking to create something meaningful, this combination is sure to inspire! Below are a few more images showing other papers from the same pack
Today, I’m excited to share the fantastic new Two-Toned Cardstock from Stampin' Up! This unique 12 x 12 cardstock features two different shades of the same color, thanks to its white center, allowing for delightful color variations between sheets. Whether you’re tearing, sanding, or combining those shades in your creations, the possibilities are endless! Don't forget, this wonderful cardstock is on sale from July 9-11. Check out my video to see how the Two-Toned Cardstock compares to our regular cardstock—does one weigh less? Let’s find out! Now is a great time to stock up for your Christmas projects!
I absolutely adore this beautiful card crafted entirely with the dies from the Charming Day Bundle, one of our fabulous Online Exclusives launched on July 1!

If you're looking to elevate your paper crafting game, this bundle is a must-try!
Some days these blog posts go so smooth I think I can do them in my sleep, other days everything goes crazy! This was one of those days. It's finally done! This card was CASED from Rachel Tessman with the change of several things. Of course that is allowed in the stamping world. We take each other's ideas and change them to our own liking and republish them. There are so many ideas out there to share. This is another one of the cards that I did with my clubs this month. It looks complicated but it really isn't and comes out to be a fun card to give. Be sure to watch the video if you are making the card. I will give you some trips on how to make it come out beautiful and download the FREE Project Sheet Below.
Coming in September 2025
