Happy Fall and Happy Tuesday. It's time for another Quick Tip Tuesday Video. The Festive Corners Stamp Set has become one of my favorites for so many reasons. It's unique and different and fun and quite versatile too with images and sentiments for celebrating Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day & Love. It can be a bit tricky and even messy stamping the corner sentiments in this stamp set as the stamps require you to use rather large clear acrylic blocks. Today's tip will help you stamp these corner sentiments cleanly and without an inky mess. AND, this tip can be applied to stamping all your narrow images and sentiments as well. Just use the edges of your ink pads. Take a look now at my video demonstration on this very helpful tip.

You can see in these photos how cleanly I was able to stamp the corner sentiments cleanly without mess using today's tip  -despite needing to use large clear acrylic blocks for just this little bit of stamping. 

Be sure to apply today's Quick Tip to stamping all your narrow images and sentiments by using just the edges of your ink pads.

I, like all of you I'm sure, LOVE to get Happy Mail. This week I received a fabulous fun fold card created by my Merry Stampers Team Member Kiki Nickloes. And it came just in time last Thursday as I still needed to come up with an idea for my Friday Facebook Live. So I quickly CASE'd Kiki's miss you card and made a celebrate you card copying her fun fold. In my September 18th Facebook Live, I showed my sample card then demonstrated this wonderful fun fold. Both of my cards feature the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper, but different stamp sets for different occasions. Check out my video, then get ready to make some new fun fold cards of your own.

The card below featuring the Way to Goat Stamp Set was sent to me by Merry Stampers Team Member Kiki Nickloes. It's the card I CASE'd for my September 18th Facebook Live Fun Fold Friday demonstration.

I love how Kiki's fun fold card shows off her Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper.

The Celebration card below is the first card I made by CASEing Kiki's card above.

I never tire of sunflowers. They always make me smile.

The photo below shows a picture of the card from the top. It's very similar to a standard Z-Fold card but with slightly different scoring dimensions.

The photo below shows the backside of my card.

The following card also uses the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper as did the card above.

I love the pops of Real Red in the holly berries and the sheer ribbon bow.

One of my all-time favorite Christmas sayings!

There so much beauty and interest to the card from the fun fold to the finishing details on the outside and inside of the card.

This Tri-Fold Shutter card is so much fun to make. After making my first one, I just knew I had to share it. This video replay of my September 16th Facebook Live includes a step-by-step demonstration so you can make Tri-Fold Shutter Cards too. They may look intimidating, but with my demonstration and tips, you'll see that it's quite easy to make.

The Tri-Fold Shutter cards in this video and post feature the So Sentimental Bundle from the Annual Catalog and the very beautiful Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper which is just one product in the gorgeous Poinsettia Place Suite in our Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. I love mixing and matching products from different catalogs and suites for more creative possibilities. 

Enjoy my video demonstration then get to work making a Tri-Fold Shutter Card of your own. I'd love to have you share your creation with me and others on my Stampin' Peace VIP Facebook Group.

I love how these Tri-Fold Shutter Cards turned out that I have a feeling I'll be making lots more of them.

The sentiment and label shapes are from the So Sentimental Bundle, one of my all time favorites.

I used three different patterns from the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper pack for this card. You can, however, use up to 4 or 5 different papers if you really want to show off your Designer Series Papers.

The Holiday Rhinestones and Forever Greenery Ribbon make great embellishments of these cards. Little details like these can make a good card great!

View of Tri-Fold Shutter card from the top.

This view shows the back of my Tri-Fold Shutter Card. I added some Whisper White card stock for writing a message. Tri-Fold Shutter cards are great for sending from a group of people. There's plenty of room on the back for lots of well wishes and signatures.

Do you see the slight difference in this card from the one pictured above? I introduced a 4th paper pattern for the center section of the card.

Tri-Fold Shutter Card Template

Wishing you a weekend of relaxation, fun, and time to take care of YOU.

The Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Pack is full of plaids of varying sizes and color combinations. This Designer Series Paper is so versatile and will keep you creating beautiful cards and paper crafts for holidays and special occasions all year long. In the following video demonstration, I show you a very easy 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder to make 3 unique cards. In addition to the Plaid Tidings DSP, I feature the lovely Borders Abound Stamp Set and Holiday Rhinestones. I think you'll enjoy the fall cards I've prepared and demonstrated in this video replay of my September 14th Facebook Live video replay.

Use the following photo for your cutting guide for this 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder.

I made these 3 fall cards with a 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder design featuring Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. This DSP pack is filled with fabulous plaids in an array of colors you can use throughout the entire year!

The stamped images on these cards are from the Borders Abound Stamp Set.

The new Banners Pick A Punch is a great tool for punching 2 different banner cuts on 1/2", 3/4", and 1" strips of card stock and Designer Series Paper.

Linen Thread and Holiday Rhinestones are wonderful embellishments to dress up these fall cards.

The card stock sizes on the inside of the first & third cards match the card stock layers on the front of the cards and sure do dress up the inside of the cards.

Autumn is just around the corner. As I look forward to the changing colors of the fall leaves here in Ohio, I am reminded that with change comes beauty, and like the leaves on our trees, sometimes it is ok to let go.

Take a look at this! My Fun Fold Gift Card Holder featuring the Magic in this Night Suite by Stampin' Up! is awesome, if I do say so myself. It's fun. It's spooky. It's creepy. It's even a bit elegant. There are so many interesting details making this gift card holder fun and fabulous. Enjoy my video demonstration from my September 9th Facebook Live, then give it a try. You can make these for any holiday or occasion by simply changing out the colors, paper, embellishment, and stamp sets to suit the theme. Be sure to share your creations with me. Feel free to show them off by posting to my Stampin' Peace Vip Facebook Group and/or Stamp 'n Scrap with Mary Knabe Facebook Business Page.

It's funny how I see so much beauty in this somewhat spooky card. I simply love the many fine details I see in the Designer Series Paper, stamped images, and other elements of this card.

It's easy to turn any card into a gift card holder by adding a "pocket" made from a strip of Designer Series Paper.

I colored the flowers on the Happy Halloween label with Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker & a Blender Pen and the leaves with Basic Gray Stampin' Write Marker.

By pulling up the panel decorated with the Happy Halloween label, one discovers a "card within the card". There's plenty of room to add a personal message to your friend or loved one here.

I don't care all that much for living spiders, especially in my house, but think these stamped spiders creeping inside this card are kind of fun for Halloween.

I used the Label Me Lovely Punch to "take a bite" out of the Designer Series Paper when creating the pocket to hold a gift card.

The Cherry Cobbler color adds a fun pop of color  - I'd say it's a pretty good "blood color" for this Halloween card with it's "Open If You Dare" greeting.

I'm looking forward to sending a Halloween surprise to some special people with these Magic in this Night Fun Fold Gift Card Holders next month.
