My Team held a swap featuring Designer Paper and this is the card I created for it.  

I loved the 'Inked Folder' technique so much I wanted to feature it on my card.  You can see how it's done in the video here.  And more examples featuring this Pretty Flowers embossing folder here.  

This embossing folder is a free gift to anyone who places an online order over $50 in June. *See it here. 

I took the easy way out when I stamped my greetings.  Here are the steps for perfect stamping using the Stamparatus:

  1. I die-cut a bunch of the White labels (from the Hippo & Friends dies) first. 
  2. Then I placed the frame left over from die-cutting on my Stamparatus. 
  3. Lay your clean stamp on the label, positioning it in place. 
  4. Close the clear plate to 'grab' the stamp. 
  5. Ink the stamp and close the plate to stamp. 
  6. Repeat!   

The Black & White striped Designer Paper is from the Pattern Party host pack seen here.  It's free with Hostess Rewards.  How do you get host rewards?  If your order is over $150 you earn free product and can choose from anything in the catalog including the items on pages 170-171 which are marked down just for host rewards!

The last chance list is out!  Check out the retiring and discounted products here.

  • Festive Cheer Christmas card


    I love this fun fold card! Two step stamping is one of my favorite types of stamps.

    I chose to use Cherry Cobbler, Peaceful Pine & Golden Glow as my color combination. The Designer Paper is the In Color gingham DSP seen here.

    The Festive Cheer bundle is filled with two-step ornaments and great holiday greetings. And the dies coordinate wonderfully! See this bundle here.

    It’s a unique fun fold in that the greeting tab on the left holds it closed. There’s a third score line on the right side of the card that will bend as it opens.

    Here’s what it looks like fully opened. I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download it or print it.

    The video tutorial is below this next image. I’ll share my second card with this stamp set in a few days. Stay tuned.

    There’s a new Product of the Month for September.

    It’s called Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer paper and can be seen here. It’s yours for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 point.

    There is also a few new kits in our Kit Collection too. You can see it all here!

    There are new Online Exclusives! Click here to see them.

  • Poetic Petals in a soft color combination


    If you like soft and subtle colors here’s a pretty color combination using two of our newest In Colors – Barely Blush with Crisp Cantaloupe.

    The color combination is inspired by the beautiful Bloom Boutique specialty designer series paper seen here. It has bit of gold foil and includes all of our newest In Colors.

    The unique Poetic Petals bundle seen here is what I used for the dies and greetings. Note the textured background and ribbon knot!

    It’s the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s temporarily out of stock but should be back in a week or so. To achieve this ribbon knot simply tie one color of ribbon around the other and trim the ends. Add with a mini glue dot.
    The greeting tag is not current; it was among my stash of die-cuts and seemed to fit perfectly here.

    I shared the left card above yesterday. I used the basic layout but changed the cards for one landscape and one vertical. As you can see the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP includes pretty color combinations of our newest In Colors. Love it!

    Thanks for stopping in today; I hope these pretty cards inspired you.

  • Pretty Poetic Petals cards


    Today I’m sharing a few cards made with the unique Poetic Petals bundle. I was inspired by my friend and team member Karen. She paired it with the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP and I loved her idea. I’ll share her card next week.

    I used Hydrangea Hue with Peaceful Pine and White. Once I die-cut the flower frame I added it to a Peaceful Pine CS square; then add to the layered card front.

    See the Poetic Petals bundle here. The dies are awesome and just look at the great greetings in the stamp set! It’s a must have for me.

    You likely notice the ribbon knot; it’s fun to tie one color of ribbon around the other to match the color combo! Try it yourself!

    And notice the background texture? That is the new Rustic Check 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s out of stock but should be back sometime this week.

    I’ll share the other card made with the Poetic Petals bundle tomorrow. Stay tuned!
