2 cute cards with the Pampered Pets bundle

I featured the Playful Pets bundle when I made these two cards at Tuesday's Facebook Live this week.  This suite is absolutely adorable!  

Here's a close up of the first card.  The texture of the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder is so neat.  It's subtle but still quite noticeable with a unique texture.

This card shows just a peak of the cute Playful Pets designer series paper between the textured layers. 

See the paw prints on the bottom right?  That is a die in the Pets dies.  I placed a scrap of Black CS behind it to show it off.  You can see the entire Playful Pets suite here. 

The dog is cut from the Playful Pets DSP; the Pet dies match some of the images in the paper!   I added a bit of the Playful Pets trim for a collar and a bone from the Pet Trinkets.  Below are the measurements for this card:

  • Real Red 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 1” X 5 ½”, 2 ¼” X 5 ½” textured pieces
  • 1 ¼” X 5 ½” Designer Series Paper

Other products used: Tasteful Textile folder, Stitched Shapes and Layering Circles dies

Below are both cards I made in the FB Live video.  Click here to see it.

The second card is a unique fold where the Black piece is the full back of the card and the Real Red is scored for the card opening. It's a fun and unique card that works well with our Designer paper.  Whether you use 6 X 6" or 12 X 12" paper it all works without much waste when cutting.

Measurements:

  • Black 5 ½” X 4 1/4”

  • More fun fold cards!

    Each day this week I'm sharing many of the Fun Fold card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  They are amazing! 

    First is Candace's pretty Double Triangle card:

    May Candace Poppy Save

    This card is so fun to make and to receive! You can find all kinds of tutorials for this fold.  Here's a video I made for it: 

    The best thing about this card fold is how perfectly it uses both your card stock and designer paper without waste!  And it makes 2 cards at the same time!

    Start out with a full 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock.  Score it down the center both ways; at 5 1/2" and 4 1/4".  Then cut in half on the diagonal like this:

    DoubleTrianglesStep02 Save

    Now cut two pieces of designer paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" in half.  Use double sided paper for the best use; two for each card.

    May Candace Poppy Save

    Candace used the retiring Peaceful Poppies designer paper seen here, the Painted Label dies and the Peaceful Moments bundle.  I love that splash of designer paper inside the card!

  • Wow; don’t miss these Fun Fold cards!

    Each day this week I'm sharing the Fun Fold card swaps made by my incredibly talented Flowerbug's!  We hold a card swap every month and many opt in to participate.  See the others here and here. 

    First up is Annette's Kite Fold card!

    May Annette kits. Save

    I know many of you will want to know how to make it so I searched and found this template at Beccy's Place.  She has a tutorial for it here.  Her card is a full sized card where Annette's was placed on a layer of her card.  So the finished size may be different. 

    Beccy's Place: Tutorial: Kite Fold Card Save

    Annette adhered her kite to a base card of Blueberry Bushel at 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and White at 5 1/4" X 4" .  She also added a velcro closure to keep the card closed securely.

    I think the tail of ribbon and twine finish it off like a kit perfectly!

    Karen made this adorable card with the Follow Your Art suite of products seen here!   I believe almost all of the products in this suite are retiring with many on sale; the stamps & dies, the designer paper (on sale for just $4.60 now!), the embellishment kit and the embossing folder too.  It's such a fun group of products; great for crafters!
