Did you know that Stampin’ Up! is in several different countries? There are stamps in this download to represent each of them. Let’s start with this Canadian maple leaf in an easy fun fold card!
Score the 6″ x 2″ piece of Designer Series Paper at 3-3/4″ and attach the short side to the back of the Whisper White cardstock. That makes the fun opening.
Because of the pandemic, only US demonstrators were able to make the incentive trip to Hawaii. We really missed our fellow demonstrators from across the world and look forward to the next trip where we can all celebrate our achievements together.
This card uses the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch to cut out the flowers. No other punches or dies were used in creating these cards – so its perfect for a brand new cardmaker or for taking on vacation!
These cards were all colored with the Stampin’ Blends, my favorite way to color images!
But – anything goes! Use what you have – markers, chalks, colored pencils!
There are 12 images in this free United Through Creativity download so that is why 12 cards are being shared, one for each image. (Plus – there are lots of sentiments in different languages so you are set!)
Many of these images reflect a certain country – but all can be used for many different occasions!
Wine and cheese and bread! Perfect for France or anywhere in the world, right?
There are a wide variety of quick layouts used for the cards too. This three strip layout is a favorite for showing off your Designer Series Papers!
What can be more American as apple pie? Perfect to give your favorite baker – or to invite someone to dinner – or tuck in a restaurant gift card!
In the video below you can see how easy this was to create. The Designer Series Paper piece is tucked right under the cutout part of the pie so it looks like a flat surface with a tablecloth.
Cute little wooden shoes make cute baby cards or birthday cards for girls.
Its so easy to add shading to your coloring with the Stampin’ Blends.
Flowers fit for almost any occasion.
The front of this card was trimmed so that you see part of the white inside. Isn’t this an easy way to change up a card?
This collage printout contains images reflecting each of the countries that SU! is in.
Here, the images are left white with the background being filled in with Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is fussy cut and added to the inside.
Leaves are always popular – they make great masculine cards for any occasion.
What makes this layout different is using a 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ contrasting piece of cardstock cut in half to make two triangles. Add one to the front of the card and use the second one for another card!
Celebrating different cultures in different countries is just one way of celebrating diversity.
We also celebrate all diversity in life – racial, age, and abilities.
We all learn from each other and life is so much richer because of it.
The lower part of this card front was trimmed to give a different look.
Sharing the good times and the hard times — friends always make it better!
The sentiment “here for you through thick & thin” was cut apart so it could be stretched across the front of the card.
And for that special relationship…
It opens like this – a standard Z fun fold card.
Score the 11″ x 4-1/4″ piece of cardstock at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″. Fold into a Z.
One of the most common things I say is “we are more creative together than we are separately.” Creating with kids, with experienced crafters or newbies, with those who like to copy exactly what I share and those who like to be totally out of the box — we love you all!!!

We love seeing what you make – and that is a cornerstone of our Back Porch Stampers group on Facebook and our All Good Cards Club.
