Double Z-Fold Card with Storybook Memories DSP

Have you ever made a Double Z-Fold Card? This fun fold is one of my favorites because it has a unique shape that makes it extra special, yet it still fits perfectly into a standard envelope!

For this card, I used the Storybook Memories Designer Series Paper—and let me tell you, the coordinating die-cut sheet made it so easy! That adorable little squirrel, the butterfly, and even the strawberries inside the card? No fussy cutting required! Just pop them out, add them to your card, and you’ve got a sweet, whimsical design in no time.


Why You'll Love This Card Design

Eye-catching fold – The double Z-fold adds an interactive element without being complicated.
Easy assembly – The pre-printed die-cuts make decorating effortless.
Storybook charm – The soft colors and nostalgic illustrations give this card a heartwarming feel.

A Touch of Spring: My Forsythia-Inspired Swap Card

One of my favorite things about being part of a stamping community is swapping cards! My team recently did a swap, and it was so much fun to see everyone’s creativity come to life. Our long-distance team members mailed in their swaps, while the local stampers and I got together to trade them in person. There’s something so inspiring about seeing the different styles, techniques, and ideas everyone brings to the table!

For my swap card, I designed a bright and cheerful spring card using the Delightful Wishes bundle and Floral Delight Designer Series Paper. I wanted to capture the beauty of forsythia blooms, which always remind me of home. I grew up with a forsythia bush in my backyard, and in my current house, I loved my neighbor’s forsythia for years—until they cut it down! I’m seriously considering planting one of my own because nothing says "spring is here" quite like those
yellow blossoms.

Swapping cards is such a great way to get fresh inspiration, connect with other stampers, and add some gorgeous new designs to your collection. Have you ever participated in a card swap? I’d love to hear about your experience!

Sweet Strawberry



I'm so happy to be stamping again in person this weekend, and here is one of the cards we will be making!  It's a simple little card with some coloring and punching.  I think it will be perfect to ease us back into stamping together again after more than a year!

Memories and More Ideas

Are you a scrapbooker?  Do you wish you could be a scrapbooker, but you just don't feel like you have the time?  Memories and More is just what you need!  It's a pocket scrapbooking system which makes scrapbooking quick and easy.  You just drop your photos in the pockets and add pre-cut coordinating papers and embellishments.


But have you thought about what else you could do with Memories and More?  Here's where the "More" comes in.  I had a lot of fun creating samples for a demonstrator meeting with 100 of my demonstrator friends on Saturday.


With the help of my friends, Rae Anne and Becky, I have made 2018 calendars with the Color Theory memories and More Card Pack.  They are styled after the Paper Pumpkin calendars from a couple of years ago.  If you click here, you can get a copy of updated 2018 calendar files and make your own!


With the same Color Theory card pack, you can also make seasonal samplers (thanks Rae Anne and Becky).  And you'll still have leftover cards for scrapbooking, card making and more!





One of the many things I like about using the Memories and More card packs is that they offer a lot of flexibility.  I created greeting cards by simply adding the card and sometimes an additional embellishment or stamp.






I used just the Petal Garden Memories and More Card Pack and added some coordinating paper from the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack for some backgrounds and envelope flaps.  It would be easy enough to add embellishments if you wanted to fancy them up, but I liked the simplicity of this set.


As easy as it is to use the cards to create greeting cards, it is just as easy to create 3-D items.





Memories and More can even be used to create a traditional scrapbook page.


Memories and More card packs come in these boxes that store nicely and take up very little space.


But for those of us who want more information on the packaging, Rae Anne and I decided we wanted to store them in the large stamp cases, and she created a great label for our kits.
