Interior Stair Step card using Season of Elegance DSP

Hello,
When I saw Connie Stewart's Interior Stair Step card video, I knew I had to make one too. I love cards that pop out and still fold flat into an envelope. I also grabbed the Season of Elegance DSP too.  I thought the red and gold one reminded me of Chinese New Year colors, like a the red envelopes we used to get as kids.
Do you like the colors?  Green, Beige, and Red with the gold.
Here is the full video tutorial.

Pull Tab Gift Card Holder

Hello,
I love a good gift card holder.  It seems like gift cards are the preferred choice when it comes to gift giving. I made a Mother's and Father's Day versions using the December 2025 Product of the Month.

Then, you pull the ribbon the on the tab to reveal a gift card underneath the sentiment.
 
This is how to hold the gift card.  A simple strip of Tear and Tape ready to hold the gift card as it flips up.

Here's the full video tutorial.

Another Pop up Petals card

Hello,
Here's another Pop Up Petals card I created, but this time with more pop ups inside.
Here is the inside with 3 vases of flowers.
I started by stamping multiple images in Memento Black ink and then using the Stampin' Blends to color them.
Then, I stamped the different vases in different colors to cut out.
This is what it looks like with all the pieces cut out.
Here is the inside of the card where I used the two dies to cut the three pop up mechanisms.
This is how the pop up mechanisms need to be folded along the score lines.
And then, I assembled the vases and flowers and adhered them onto the pop up mechanisms. And then adhered the entire inside part to the card base.

Shutter card using Lovely Blossoms DSP

Hello,
I love the Lovely Blossoms DSP and this card uses the page that has all different printed images on one page. 
There are 4 different designs and you get 3 pages each of the double sided paper.
These are the cards I used the largest images for the front of the cards.


And then this is the way the shutter opens when you open the card, revealing a "message."


Here is the full video tutorial.
