Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper Tutorial - Card #7 - Angled Fun Fold


Stampin' Up! Products

  • Petal Pink cardstock
    • Cardbase – 11” x 5 1/2”
      • Follow directions on diagram
  • Basic White cardstock
  • Old Olive cardstock
    • Refer to the directions
  • Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper
    • Refer to directions
  • Forever Lovely stamp set
  • Old Olive ink
  • Painterly Pears dies or use BSNC
  • Pearl Basic Jewels
  • Dimensionals
    • Place strips of Dimensionals that lay across both the stem and pear for added support. Do not put them on the tip of the leaf that will keep the card closed.

* I created a cut file on Brother ScanNCut’s software CanvasWorkspace. Those files are for my personal use. I created them with stamps I own; the stamp images are copyrighted by Stampin’ Up! I do have a tutorial that shows how I turn my stamp sets into faux dies. For more information, click HERE.

To be truthful, the pears on the DSP could have been easily cut without the dies using BSNC. All you need is space between images, BSNC creates a border. That is a huge savings!

The Brother ScanNCut files for this layout are available for an additional $3 per file.

Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper Tutorial - Card #9 - Shadow Blocking Card Layout


This is my first card featuring the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper . The paper’s rich, vibrant colors really drew me in. 

The latest card layout I tried is called the Shadow Blocking Card Layout. It involves using one-inch squares arranged meticulously. The shadow is dark enough which allowing the focus to stay on the subtle designs. The card layer itself uses just one-inch by twelve-inch strips of DSP, with the top layer composed of twelve individual one-inch pieces. To ensure the pattern flows seamlessly across the card, all the squares are cut from a 3" x 4" piece of card layer, creating a cohesive and visually appealing design.

Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper Tutorial - We R Memory Keepers Layers Guide Tool

How do I do this? 
How do I make a perfect mat for Stampin' Up!'s Tailored Tag punch?

Create a perfectly layered sentiment mat effortlessly using the Memory Keepers Layers Guide Tool available HERE on Amazon. This is an essential tool for achieving precise, clean layers on your cards. 



Glue your sentiment onto cardstock. Use a thicker cardstock for best results


For the best results, align the Layers Guide with your cutting mat and temporarily glue down the stamped sentiment  and mat for stability. Balance the tool guide equally across the cutting mat. Using a sturdy surface and a box cutter ensures clean cuts every time. 

* * * * *

This is the tool kit I used in the picture above. I'm using an older version, but did purchase this one below when I misplaced mine. We R Memory Keepers Tool Kit is available HERE. It includes a cutting mat, magnetic steel ruler, scissors, craft knife, reverse tweezers, brad setter and piercing tool. 
  • The scissors cuts paper easily. 
  • The reverse tweezers are a game changer for placing an embellishment on a card or scrapbook page.
  • The magnetic ruler has a sharp edge to not only hold your paper in place but the metal edge keeps your cuts straight.
  • I use the piercing tool for two different work stations.

I use this kit nearly every time I create cards. The magnetic ruler has a great metal edge to use with these box cutter. 

* * * * *

For a perfect cut getting the best cuts when you are cutting a diagonal piece of paper. For just a few dollars, you'll understand why I use them. They can be purchased HERE.

Brother ScanNCut meets Shadow Blocking

If you know you know. The newest popular card layout; Shadow Blocking. I created a template that helps lay down each 1” square perfectly.

The template was made using Brother ScanNCut software CanvasWorkspace. I have about twelve hours (and a trash can full of scrap paper) in the project. I self taught myself; a great way to keep my mind working.

Check back for how I embellish the card front.


The template is now available for purchase HERE.
