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!

Pretty Pumpkin projects in out of the box colors with Video too!
On Tuesday's FB Live I featured the Pretty Pumpkins bundle in out of the box colors. I was inspired by the white pumpkins that are trendy now and by a card made by Deb Crowley.
Isn't it gorgeous? The colors are Pool Party, Olive & Smoky Slate. I stamped the pumpkins in Smoky Slate onto White Basic card stock and colored them in with our Watercolor Pencils seen here. A Blender pen is the magic tool when using watercolor pencils! Watch the video below to see how.
I stamped the greeting directly onto the die-cut stitched rectangle using Smoky Slate ink. It's cut from In Good Taste designer paper. I used a blending brush to add a bit of Coastal Cabana ink behind the die-cut pumpkins.
Next is another pretty card in Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Rose Gold. This pretty specialty paper is in our Annual Catalog on page 134 seen here. It's also my free gift for orders in October! *see details below
These pumpkin and leaf die-cuts are in the Detailed Pumpkin dies seen here. *Save 10% when you purchase the bundle – stamp set & dies. I did fussy cut the greeting after stamping it. The embossing folder is called Brick Wall.
Look at this pretty & quick treats box. It's one of our 3 1/8" square Acetate boxes seen in the annual catalog here. You get 10 boxes for $6. Inside can hold either treats or 3 X 3 cards & envelopes.
Did you know we carry 3" square envelopes in the Annual Catalog? Check out page 136. They're perfect for little note cards and they fit in this box too!
You might wonder where you get 3 X 3" cards…. I made them from a piece of 12 X 12" card stock. It's the best size CS to start with. You'll get 8 small cards from one sheet with no waste! Watch my tip on this in the video below.
I think these cards would be great at each place setting on the Thanksgiving table! Think white pumpkins, autumn colored leaves & turquoise ribbon or accents. Mmm – I think I have a plan!
Jacki made this next card using just four 3/4" strips of this pretty designer paper. Think of all the cards you could make with your leftover thin strips!
Her card base is Mossy Meadow with a 4" X 5 1/4" layer. Besides the DSP she added the greeting strips and a pretty leaf in yellow that pulls those peeks of yellow from the DSP. LOVE it!
