I made these pretty cards on last week's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' Monday night. *See video below
The 2nd & 4th Monday's you can stamp with me Live on Facebook here. The next one is Monday, August 10th. I post the measurements & supplies ahead of time so you can prepare. Then afterwards you can share your cards too!
I chose to use a Triple Panel technique; at least that's what I'm calling it. I saw a sketch like it and created my own version here. You start out with 3 pieces of card stock or designer paper and cut them all the same way.
I used Bumblebee, Night of Navy and Smoky Slate for the cards above along with the Tasteful Touches bundle. That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Birds & More dies set.
Measurements:
Three pieces of card stock or DSP measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".
Cute one full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base of each color you use.
Cutting directions:
1st cut: Cut the first small triangle off of each piece. (On the bottom right card it's the Navy piece) Make a mark 1 1/2" from the bottom left corner and 2" from the bottom right corner. Cut this triangle off of all three pieces.
2nd cut: Make a mark from the upper left corner across at 1 3/4". Make a mark 2" from the lower left angled edge. Cut.
The 3rd cut isn't necessary as you'll use the angled piece left from the first two cuts.
Now you have three different colored pieces for each card. Mix & match one color per card!
It includes directions, photos and measurements for 12 cards!

Easter Bunny Floating Panel card with a free project sheet & video tutorial!
We made this sweet card at my March Card Clubs – it features the Easter Bunny bundle. This bundle is currently unavailable. you can get the Easter Bunny stamp set now but the Bunny punch is returning in May.
It's a Floating Panel fun fold card; one of my current favorite folds lately. It's both fun to make and easy to create too!
My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Daffodil Delight. Below you'll see the baby version. I gave my gals the choice of Easter or baby.
Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2". Scraps for bunny & circle punch. Two strips 1/2" X 1 1/2" for the floating panel hinges • DSP pieces four pieces at 1 1/4" X 4" • White front square 2 3/4", inside 5 1/4" X 4" • Blackberry Bliss square 2 7/8" • Greeting strips 3/4" X 3 1/2"
Here's a tip on the Floating panel: You need just two pieces of card stock about 1/2" X 2 1/2". Fold them in half and adhere to the center fold; one on each side. Your front panel is adhered to this.
*Watch the video below (or click here)where I share the tips on creating this card; it's the second project of 4!
Can you spot the shimmer? I used the Pearlescent paper from the Annual Catalog. See it here.
It was the perfect sheen for this technique as the moist ink did not absorb quickly like it might for regular card stock. Glossy paper would also work well.
After I added the color, I let it dry for an hour or so. Then I textured it with one of the embossing folders in the 3D Basics pack seen here. These are currently out of stock but they'll be back in May.
Below you can see the difference in my cards; especially the colors. One is soft and subtle and the other more vibrant. This happens as you work with your baby wipe; the first few swipes are bold and the next few are much softer.
Tips for success:
Fold and roll your baby wipe in a tube. Hold it tightly and add a few drops of ink refills.
Add each color separately in a row. I tend to add enough for about 1/2" of surface.
Start swiping off your paper and then onto it. You can do straight swipes or get creative and add curves or swirls. Let dry.
Shimmery, pearlescent or glossy works best. But you can do it on regular card stock too.
Notice the colors of the butterflies? I colored the Brass Butterflies with a Polished Pink blends marker for the left card. I wasn't sure I liked it or not so left them uncolored for my swap cards.
