My ALL-TIME favorite way to package handmade cards as a gift, is this quick and easy TWO-POCKET CARD FOLDER! Here is my pattern that uses one full sheet of card stock. The Folder holds four standard cards or four note cards.
Download Two-Pocket Folder for cards
Embellish the front of the Folder as much or as little as you like. The main thing, REPEAT the colors and images used on the cards inside for a professional look.
Here are the four standard cards and envelopes in this Folder. The same crisp, snappy True Love Designer Paper #154281 was used on this entire project. I used the Medium Daisy Punch #149517 and used the small daisy-like print on each card. The accent is Silver Foil Paper #132178 and the little heart from the Dog Builder Punch #148543. The cards are fast and simple. Pick your favorite designer series paper and try this!
SHARING WHAT I LOVE!
Design once, then repeat! This True Love Designer Series Paper #154281 is all black and white. It creates SNAPPY cards!
This is a simple layout. The designer papers create the interest.
I only changed the top layer of designer paper.
Make sure to decorate your enevelope for a finished look. It's easy.
Apply adhesive around the edge of the envelope flap. Lay a straight edge of designer paper on the flat and butted up to the flap crease. Then...
Flip envelope to the backside. Cut off excess designer paper. NO PATTERN NEEDED!
THINK SPRING!! Stamp up some garden images while you wait for the snow to melt! My Meadow Stamp Set #151650 has the outdoor and garden images to create endless scenes.
The adorable floral envelope flap was created with the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper #155223, a FREE SALE-A-Bration item with $50 purchase (in US) till Feb. 28, 2021. DIG INTO SPRING!

GARDENING TIP: you can change the color of your garden Hydrangeas from pink to BLUE by adding SOIL ACIDIFER, found in your garden center near the fertilizers! It's MAGIC!!
The Hydrangea Hill Suite #155985 is ELEGANT and let's you create any color blossoms you desire on card stock! These are "Z" fold cards cut 4-1/4 X 11" then scrored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2". VERY EASY! I used the interesting Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate sheets #154574. The left one is Highland Heather color. The right one is flipped over to the silver side of the Mercury Glass Acetate.
I inked the flower image in Highland Heather and then "rolled" the edge of the image in Seaside Spray ink for a lovely realistic color combo. That is called the "ROCK & ROLL" technique.
I rarely make just one card at a time, so this one is varied from the other.
Cards this exquisite demand fancy envelopes! The top envelope has the flap covered in the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper #154570. The lower card I created from the same Designer Papers using the border print and here is how:

Blossoms in Bloom Bundle #154123
Guest stamper, my friend and Team member, Michelle Miller, created this CUTE fun fold using Blossoms in Bloom Stamp Set #152684!
To create this fancy fold, start with a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4" base. Center and attach a narrow card cut 2-1/2 x 11", scored at 5-1/2". It's simple and striking!
Such cheerful colors! This is one of my very favorite stamp sets and bundles in the Annual Catalog!! Thanks for sharing, Michelle! LOVELY card!
Queen Anne's Lace is a wildflower, and now a lovely stamp set, too! This stamp set took my eye!
Queen Anne's Lace Stamp Set #152607 is a two-step design, but easy and quick to line up.
When adding color to the flower, I "stamped off" to get a soft look.
Wink of Stella #141897 adds glitter to the flowers.
The Peony is an essential classic garden perennial plant! This is such a lovely 3D flower die in this Peony Garden Suite #154129!!
These colors are the calming Basic Grey and Petal Pink. The die cut Peony is sponged with Petal Pink to accent the many petals.
The Peony Garden Designer Series Paper #152483 is soft and elegant!!
The flower petal die cuts "insert" into the largest flower die cut. It's so unique and creates a very full, multi-petal flower!
One word: ELEGANT! A beautiful card with a beautiful message! This is the Forever Greenery Suite #154143 of gorgeous coordinated foliage images and products!
The gold leaves are an overlay in the the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper #152493! The paper also contains gold foliage accents. GORGEOUS!!
This sentiment touches my heart! Many, many wonderful possibilities with the lovely Forever Green Suite of products!
WHAT special treatment did I use on this adorable Jar of Flowers Bundle w/ PUNCH #154064??
ANSWER: I punched a jar from a Window Sheet #142314 using the Jar Punch from the bundle to create GLOSS like real glass! Easy, Fast, Effective! All the stamping was done on the card stock, not the window sheet.
The flowers are colored with Stampin' Up! BLENDS, alcohol markers. The "water in the jar" is the reversible stamp image - so handy!!

When I first saw the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint #150691 in the Holiday Catalog, I thought of these Cotton stalks in the Country Home Stamp Set #147678. It's the PERFECT touch of fluffy texture!
The little bottle of magic, puffs up like: snow, cotton, lamb's wool, clouds or whipped cream!!
Experiment and practice before using this product on your finished design. For larger areas, you can apply the puffing liquid right from the tip of the bottle. I wanted small cottony puffs on my card so this worked well for me;
1. SHAKE bottle.
2. Apply a small puddle on scrap paper.
3. Use a toothpick to dot liquid in small areas. Use less than you think because it will expand.
4. Heat with a Heat Tool to puff. It grows as it puffs! LOTS OF FUN!!
The background is one piece of Mercury Glass Designer Acetate #150441 cut 5-1/2 X 4-1/4", then diagonally to make two cards. Old Olive card base.
Cajun Craze card base. Coloring is done with the amazing Stampin' Up! BLENDS alcohol markers! Try it!
