2 fabulous cards with the Hand-Penned Designer Paper


I have two pretty cards to share with you today; both from my Flowerbug Team swaps in June.  Both are made with the Hand-Penned DSP which is on sale right now.  Instead of $11.50 it's just $9.78.  See the sale on all 9 packs of Designer Paper here. 

First is a card by Marilyn.  She made a corner latch card.  I've shared a few of those in the past weeks; it's a fabulous and super simple but special fold anyone can make.  Below are the measurements. 

She made it even more special by adding a 'stitched' corner to hers.  She used a few sets of dies here; the Triangle and Pierced Bloom dies all in the Annual Catalog.  The greeting is from the In Bloom stamp set.  

Measurements: 

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11", scored at 5 1/2". Trim off 2 3/4" from one end & save.
    DSP – 2 pieces at 2 1/2" X 4"
    Corner is 2 1/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal
    White inside is 3" X 4 1/4"

Next is a card Karen made using Misty Moonlight and our new In Color Shimmer vellum.   

She used the Penned Flower dies for the flowers and the Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped White greeting.  Her card really shows off this pretty patterned paper!

  • Let it Snow?! Are you having a White Christmas?


    Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your Holiday today and that you are able to spend time with some of your favorite people. This year is so unusual and difficult for many who are isolated.  I wish you the best and thank you for your support this past year.  

    We did just get snow this week; very unusual for us in North Dakota!  So it's a white Christmas after all.  

    Here are two of my favorite wintery cards featuring my Life is Beautiful stamp set.

    The card above is Seaside Spray with Black & White.  The stamp set is Snowman Season in the Annual Catalog. 

    This card is made with the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  Ink colors are black, Balmy Blue & Highland Heather. The DSP is retiring in a week or so and it's on sale here. 

    This card is very similar to the one above only made with Early Espresso & Balmy Blue. 

    Merry Christmas!

  • Need a quick gift box for the Holidays? Use your designer paper!!


    Are you a last minute wrapper?  I can help! I made these fast gift boxes on this week's FB Live.  Honestly they are super easy and you can make them wide or tall depending on where you score. 


    Each one is made from 2 pieces of 12 X 12" designer paper; these are from Toile Tidings which is now discontinued and out of stock.   Double sided paper is preferred and makes them extra special.  I used the same patterns for each box; flipping the pattern so they coordinated. 

    I know some of you might think it's frivolous to use your designer paper for gift boxes.  Now consider how much DSP you have stored up!  Use it; you can do it!


    And here is another version with the new True Love designer paper; all Black & White! It's from the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog!

    I colored some of the flowers on the paper with both Rococo Rose and Purple Posy Blends markers.  Then I added two ribbons; Black glittered and Purple Posy. 


    You can watch the video here.   Scroll towards the end for the boxes.

  • Quite Curvy & Classic Christmas Strips


    I totally enjoy making these strip cards!  It seems like I always have little strips of paper left over from a project. Most times I can toss them without a thought but now & then I have trouble doing that. This technique puts them to great use! 

    You can catch my tips on this technique in the video below. 

    I used the Classic Christmas designer paper on this card.  It's available now through January 4th or while supplies last.  The colors are Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler.  See it here. 

    I also used the Quite Curvy stamp set and dies.  They are available now and will be in the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog.  See them here now.
