Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.

August 24, 2026

I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

You can see the video for this card and one more below. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!

More than Autumn Team swaps for Fall

September 17, 2025

Starting tomorrow there’s a 24 hour stamp & stamp tools sale – 15% off a whole bunch of products!

I’ll post a link to the sale tomorrow. But for now start making your list of stamps you want!

~~~

Today I’m sharing some of my Team swap cards from our September swap.

First is a cute card made by Joan:

She used the More Than Autumn bundle seen here.

Look at her amazing coloring on the cups! And it’s a fun fold with a gift card option too!

Her colors include Timid tiger, Vanilla with Daffodil Delight. She colored everything with Blends markers. The center panel is the Beautiful Bokeh DSP.

Measurements:
– card base 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″
– Daffodil textured layer 4″ X 5 1/4″
-Timid Tiger accordion fold 9 3/4″ X 4 1/4″ scored at 3 1/4″ & 6 1/2″
– Vanilla & DSP layers 3″ X 4″

Next is a sweet card made by Candy who also used this bundle:

Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon & Pumpkin Pie.

She textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Plaid 3D embossing folder. The circle is about 2 1/2″ around and is a Stylish Shapes die-cut as well as the greeting die-cut.

~~~

And lastly today is a perfectly Autumn card made by Gwen. It’s her first time swapping! She did a wonderful job!

Each of these cards features the More Than Autumn bundle and they’re all so unique. It’s a pretty big bundle with a wide variety of images and dies. She used the new Gathering Together specialty paper seen here. She added a center strip under her images that’s 1 3/4″ wide. Cajun Craze with Very Vanilla are her card stock colors. The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies.

Thanks for stopping in; I hope you enjoyed the card swaps today. I’ll share more soon!

A neat vertical ‘Book Binding’ card fold with video tutorial

September 16, 2025

Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It’s a neat book binding card that’s vertical instead of the usual horizontal card.

The colors include Gray Granite & Early Espresso with White. I chose these colors to match the Toile designer paper from the Holiday Catalog. See it here.

The view above shows the card open. The card starts as a normal 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base but has two extra score lines. See the measurements and directions here on the free project sheet. Click on this link to download or print it.

I made multiples of this card for an online swap I participated in. I love swapping and making multiples of the same card.

Click play on the video below to see how it’s made.
