Sunflower Fields card kit to go; or PDF tutorial option. Reserve yours!

Fall is coming soon for some of us and the new Sunflower Fields designer series paper may be just what you need to get your autumnal cards made.

I chose it for one of my September card kits to go. You can see the entire suite here.

Most of these cards are special fun fold layouts and one includes a gift card option. I design my card kits to feature the designer paper, ribbons and gems. You don’t need any special stamps to finish them; only greetings.

My pre-cut kits to go include all pre-cut pieces including die-cuts and punched pieces. You will receive 1/2 pkg of the Sunflower Fields designer paper and will use the measurements in the tutorial to cut them for each card. Everything else is cut for you.

You also receive a share of the Golden Glow ribbon and the Radiant Gems; it’s about $20 in Stampin’ Up! products! The PDF tutorial is included in the price of $32 plus shipping. I highly recommend adding on another card kit to save on shipping costs.

You can get the pre-cut kit to go here. There is also a PDF tutorial option for $17 here.

See all of the choices in my shop here. I have many other kits or tutorials available.

I’ll share my second card kit to go tomorrow; think Christmas!

• Easy Triple Accordion fold with tutorial, measurements & video

  June 28, 2022

  ---

  We made this pretty Triple Accordion card last night on a FB Live video seen here.  It's a neat fold that is also quite easy to make. 

  

  I used the Awash in Beauty designer paper along with the coordinating True Beauty bundle seen here.  

  It stands up nicely but also folds into a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" A2 size card.  

  

  Measurements: 

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4", 4 1/4", 7 1/4" & 8 1/2"
  • Pink layer is 4" square. Cut 2
  • DSP – 2 pieces at 3 7/8" square
  • White 2 1/4" X 4"

  I am challenging everyone to make and share one on my FB group page here by July 17th to be entered in Prize Patrol for a free embellishment.  

  
  

  The entire suite is beautiful!

  

  You can get a share of this pretty designer paper in my Annual Catalog paper share. I still have a few spots left! Message me here Details are at the bottom of this post.

  My colors include Mossy Meadow, Polished Pink & Balmy Blue.  The pretty die-cut flowers are all from the Awash in Beauty designer paper.  The Organic Beauty dies are designed perfectly to match the DSP!  The only stamping I did here are the two greetings; all of the flowers are die-cut from either card stock or DSP.  

  

  Do you see the little bit of color on the Pink blossom die-cut?  I used Wink of Stella and my White craft ink to add color. Watch the video below to see how.

• Fun shaker card with the Bottled Happiness bundle!

  June 27, 2022

  ---

  We made this fun shaker card at my June card clubs.  It features the Bottle of Happiness bundle and the Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes seen here. 

  I shared how to make it in last week's FB Live video.  You can see it here on my YouTube channel too. 

  Heads up!  Soon I will be posting my weekly videos on YouTube each Tuesday morning instead of Facebook. So be sure you're following me on YouTube.  Click on the red bell so you're notified when I go live.  

  

  I wish you could shake it yourself!  There's just something extra special about an interactive card and the Bottled Happiness bundle makes it so easy. 

  

  The colors are Pear Pizzazz with the new Orchid Oasis.  The products I used are:

  • Bottled Happiness bundle (stamp set & Vintage Bottle punch)
  • White CS, Pear Pizzazz & Orchid Oasis inks and card stock
  • Stitched with Whimsy dies
  • Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes 
  • Effervescent Elements (pretty beads inside the dome)
  • Charming Sentiments greetings (inside) 
  • In Color twine combo pack

  Below you can see the card front on the left and the inside of the card on the right.  

  I hope you'll watch the video to see my tips on making a super easy shaker card!  Click on the photo below to watch.

• Artist of the Month with Sending Smiles; fun fold card & tags box

  June 24, 2022

  ---

  Today I'm sharing the rest of Marilyn's projects featuring the Sending Smiles bundle.  See the first set here. 

  This cute card is a Dutch door fold where the front panel is attached to the lower 'door' opening. 

  

  She used the new Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party In Colors here. 

  Her measurements are as follows:

  • Sweet Sorbet – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" plus a 8 1/2" X 2 3/4" scored at 4 1/4".  The front panel is 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
  • White front is a stitched rectangle at 2 5/8" X 4" & inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
  • In Color DSP is2 5/8" X 4" 

  Next is an adorable box made with the Tailored Tag dies.  

  

  She used 2 of the Tailored Tag die-cuts and adhered them to the little box she made with the template seen below. 

  Details: 

  • The tags are approximately 1 3/4" X 3 3/4" and the box is1 1/2" square. 
  • She used the Sending dies for the flower & greeting. 
  • The DSP is the 2022-24 In Color 6 X 6" pack and the ribbon is the Tahitian Tide 1/8" ribbon.  

  To make this box start out with a 4" square of card stock and score at 1 1/4" on all sides.  

  

  And below are all of her projects using the Sending Smiles bundle.  She sure did a fabulous job!!
