Fun Fold Friday: Nested Flap with Daisy Lane

Each Friday I go live on my Facebook page, The Joy of Stampin' with Rachael, at 4:00 pm PT (I'm in California). This card, Nested Flap Fun Fold,  was featured this week and I learned how to make it from the talented Julie Davison. 


I used the Daisy punch and the 1/2 circle punch for my daisy and added some sponging and wink of stella to the center.


Here is a great visual of everything you need to make this style of Fun Fold. It is up to you for what you add to your flap and the stamp set you use. The possiblities are endless! The supplies I used are all down below and can be found at my online store.

New 2020-2021 Stampin' UP! Catalogs Video


The new catalog has been available for 1 week now and if you haven't notice it is HUGE! Over 190 pages of Stampin' Fun! As fun as it may be, it can be overwhelming for sure! So I've created this little video to help you look through the catalogs (the cute mini one too). 


So now that you've seen it, how to do you pick what to order first?  Above is my top 5 list of items to order first! Also, this may come as a shocker but do not over order. What?! I know I am crazy (because I sell stamps for a living)! But hear me out. Lets say you order 10 of your favorite stamp sets. But you only use 3 of them for the whole year! That does not bring you Joy or me Joy either. Then because you didn't use what you bought you don't want to buy anymore. I want you to use your stamps to stamp and create, not to gather dust. So, only order what you can chew (or stamp). I made myself a rule. I can only buy 3 stamp sets at a time and can only buy more after I've used those sets! Now there are no rules on items that are consumable (paper, ink, embellishments, etc.)!  
You can order by clicking on the link below or the shop with me tab above!
