A WOW fun fold card that has to be the easiest ever!

May 3, 2024

If you are looking for a great idea for designer papers that create a scene this layout is it!

Start with a card base of 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". Then cut a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of designer paper and trim off the right side at 3/4". Add that strip to the left side of your card base and the larger half to the left folded side.

Isn't that the best & most simple layout?! Think of the many cards you could make with this design.

The card features the stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper pack. This paper can be found here in our Online Exclusives – but is currently unavailable until later May.

I wouldn't wait too long to order this DSP; when they run out they don't always re-order and then it's gone for good. That's how the Online Exclusive products work.

The dies did carry over into the new catalog but the stamp set did not and is retired now. The dies are currently out of stock but should be available in about 2 weeks; around May 13th.

Best Dressed FB Live cards

April 17, 2020
I made these 3 pretty cards during my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live last night.

Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes. Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards! Join me here:

I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine.

Here are the details and close up views of these three cards:

Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

April 16, 2020
My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month – to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color. Here's the card I made:

Save

This card literally took me 5 minutes to make. Here's the steps:
1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4". Adhere to the card
3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4" stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink. Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
6. Add a few rhinestones. Done!
You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here. Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit! Details below:
