All Aflutter envelope-flap style card with free project sheet & video

June 22, 2026

This neat fun fold card was created for my June card clubs. I call it an envelope flap closure.

My colors include Darling Duckling, Blueberry Bushel with White. Wonderfully bright for summer! I used quite a few products here so I’ll list them for you.

All Aflutter stamp and dies bundle seen here
Darling Duckling 12 X 12″ Two-toned card stock
Irresistible specialty designer paper seen here
Lazy Daisy & Floral Spray 3D embossing folders
1 3/4″ and 2″ circle punches
Blending Brushes
a sanding block

The Irresistible designer paper is cut into a 3 3/4″ square and scored in the center diagonally. It’s adhered to the back of the Blueberry Bushel card base before that is adhered to the larger Darling Duckling CS.

There are three patterns in this specialty Irresistible designer paper you can see here. When you add ink to this specialty paper it reveals the white shiny pattern.

You can see the two patterns I used on my card here.

And here’s the other version. Note both the blue Irresistible patterns and the embossing folders.

After we textured the 2-toned Darling Duckling card stock we sanded it with a sanding block (from my husband’s shop) to reveal more of the White core.

You can see the All Aflutter bundle here. I love having butterfly images with a coordinating punch! See it here.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, photos and supplies list. Click here to see it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one other made with the cute All Aflutter bundle.

I’ll share the second card with the free project sheet tomorrow.

In the Country with a split scene technique

February 22, 2023

They've updated the Clearance Rack with more products! Including stamp sets! But beware that many are in French. Be sure you get English if you want it. See it all here.

I made this pretty card using the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. It's called a Triptych layout. It's a great way to showcase a detailed stamp set.

Save

I stamped the image in Black Memento ink using the Stamparatus and colored the image in with our Watercolor Pencils.

One thing I always use with our Watercolor Pencils is the Blender pen. It smooths out all of your penciled lines so easily. See it here.

The card base is Coastal Cabana and I added a Black layer and a simple Black strip across and under it. Simple but it sure shows off the pretty scene.

You can see the In the Country stamp set here; it's free with any $50 purchase.

Two-Tone Flora card with more ideas in the video

February 21, 2023

Here's a pretty card I shared on a recent Facebook Live. It features the Two-Tone flora bundle seen here.

Save

My colors include Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent and Orchid Oasis. I kept this card very simple to show off the beautiful detail in the flowers.

The greeting is from the Framed Florets stamp set seen here.

Save

I used Very Vanilla to stamp on as I haven't used it much lately. It's a softer feel than White. Does your Vanilla need some love too?

I hope you're inspired by this fun technique. Click on the photo below to watch the video and see more cards with this bundle.

Two-Tone Flora cards; get two cards with one technique!

February 20, 2023

I shared a bunch of projects featuring the Two-Tone Flora bundle seen here on last week's FB Live video.

I hadn't played with it at all and couldn't stop once I started! Here are two cards that may look similar at first, but look closely….

Save

The card on the left has the large, sponged & colored die-cut on the front. But the card on the right is the colored layer underneath the other. So cool! I show how this is done with the small Blending Brushes in the video here.

I used three colors for these cards – Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. It also features Very Vanilla which I don't use often enough. I found the small blending brushed worked really well for the detailed areas on the die-cut. You can see these brushes here.

Here are both cards with the actual colored die-cut piece on the front.

Save

I accented it with the Sentimental Park, Stylish Shapes and Amazing Thanks dies. Also a few Brushed Brass Butterflies finished the garden feel of these cards.

Save

Below are the cards that show off the area under the sponged die-cut. The colorful sponging reveals the die-cut detail on the Vanilla but the flowers and leaf areas are colored. I love this 2 for 1 technique! I'm sure you have some dies you could use like this too.

Save

The dies above include the Painted Label and Circle Collection dies; along with the Two-Tone Floral dies for the leaf.

Save

I enjoy using two-step stamp sets for the wonderful details and hues of color you can achieve.

I hope you're inspired by this fun technique. Click on the photo below to watch the video and see more cards with this bundle.
