Paper Crafting and Card Making

Sunset Coast Dutch Door Card

by

This week’s card is the first project in my Scenic Coast Zoom Card Class, which will be held on July 18, 2026. I still have two class kits available if anyone is interested. Simply send me an email to reserve your kit. (Payment is accepted through Venmo.)

This week’s project is a Dutch Door Card. It is fairly easy to cut, although it does require a full sheet of cardstock for the card base. The Scenic Coast Designer Series Paper features a beautiful iridescent shimmer on the water that unfortunately doesn’t show up well in the photograph. This card design is perfect for showcasing scenic or specialty Designer Series Papers. Be sure to check out the free instruction sheet below for the complete list of measurements and materials.

Coming in July!

Every purchase made through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store during the month of July will qualify you to choose from my stash of gently used retired Stampin’ Up! products. The list of available gently used items will be published on July 17, 2026. There will be a great deal of new product available at the beginning of July as well as new additions to the Last Chance section. Don’t forget to check out the kits as well as refills for your Paper Pumpkin kits. All purchases will count towards this promotion.

There is no minimum or maximum purchase required. The $50 amount is simply an example. You may place an order for more or less than $50. However, only the retail value of the products you purchase (before tax and shipping) will be used to determine the amount of discontinued product you may select. Tax and shipping charges do not count toward your qualifying retail purchase total.

For Example:

  • Place a $50 retail order through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store during July.
  • You’ll be eligible to choose up to $50 worth of gently used retired products from my published list.
  • Product selection will be first come, first served, so shop early for the best selection!
  • If your free retired products need to be shipped, you will only be responsible for the cost of shipping.

Product List

Friday, August 14, 2026 – Zoom Card Class

Date: Aug 14 or Aug 21 (will confirm date before the June drawing)
Time:  7 pm
Class Fee: $21 plus shipping if needed (calculated when ready to ship)

RSVP by: July 18, 2026

Class Description:

We will be making 6 cards in this class — two each of three different Z-Fold card designs.

  • Far Left: This design uses half a sheet of 12″ x 12″ two-toned cardstock to create a beautiful three-panel card. It stands on a one-inch strip that is attached to the panels — and it still fits nicely inside a standard A2 envelope.
  • Middle Card: This card features a new 3D embossing folder for the floral centerpiece. You’ll have the option to watercolor the embossed design. (I’ll be refining my watercolor technique before class — the sample shown above was done a bit quickly!)
  • Final Card: We will make two of the “Triple Diamond” Z-Fold card, a fun and eye-catching design with lots of dimension.

Waterside Retreat One Sheet Wonder

by

This set of cards features one sheet of the new Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper, which will be available beginning May 5, 2026. When this single sheet of DSP is cut apart and combined with coordinating cardstock and some of the new die-cut sets, it creates eight beautiful cards.

The free tutorial is available below, and a limited number of pre-cut kits will be available in May for $20 plus postage (if needed). Please use the “Email Me” button in the menu bar above to reserve yours.

The products used to create these cards are listed in the tutorial. However, a clickable supply list is not available since the products will not be released until May 5, 2026.

More cards featuring the Waterside Retreat DSP will be shared over the next three weeks, culminating with the Zoom Card Class on May 22, 2026. For additional details about the Zoom Card Class, please see the advertisement below or visit the Class Calendar.

Waterside Retreat Tutorial

May Zoom Card Class

Date: May 22, 2026
Time:  7 pm
Class Fee: $22 plus shipping if needed (calculated when ready to ship)

RSVP by: May 1, 2026

Class Description:

This class will require a bit of fussy cutting, as two of the four designs include cutting out the life vest and paddle. The life vests come in a variety of colors, so the ones in your kit may differ from those shown in the photo. However, they will all coordinate beautifully and come from the same sheet of Designer Series Paper.

We will make a total of eight cards in this class:

  • 2 Inside Box Cards (each featuring two life vests)
  • 2 Green Plaid Cards
    • Note: The sentiment on this card is a die cut and will be included in your kit.
  • 2 Bicycle Cards
    • Again, the sentiment is a die cut and will be included in your kit.
  • 2 Pocket Cards (shown at the bottom of the picture)
    • One blue card featuring floats
    • One green card featuring fish

These designs make great birthday cards! I used one of the new “manly” stamp sets, which includes “bruh” along with other fun slang sentiments.

*All Kits Include:

  • Cardstock (cut, punched, embossed, scored, or die-cut)
  • Designer Series Paper (cut, punched, embossed, scored, or die-cut)
  • Embellishments shown in the picture (e.g., rhinestones, ribbon, etc.)
  • Envelopes

Kits Do NOT Include:

  • Stamped images
  • Stamps
  • Ink
  • Glue
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals (unless otherwise indicated; these are almost always optional)
  • Scissors
