AMAZING Most Adored Cascading Pleats fancy fold card – with video & free project sheet!

Have you seen or made a 'Cascading Pleats' fun fold card before?  They're so cool and actually quite easy to make.  

I shared how in last week's video. *if you want to watch them Live, follow me on my FB page here.

I chose to feature the Most Adored Specialty designer paper for my video projects. On this card I used both the Flirty Flamingo side and the Gold Foiled sides of this pretty paper.  See it here.  It's free with any $50 order through February during our Sale-a-Bration promotion – or while supplies last.  

I have full measurements in my free project tutorial below but it will help you a lot to watch the video.  

There are three layers and they 'cascade' in sizes from smallest in the front to largest in the back.  Each has 2-3 layers.  

Other products used include: Thoughtful Moments Hybrid 3D embossing folder, Hooray for Surprises bundle, Give it a Whirl dies, Something Fancy stamp set, Gold foil paper & Elegant Trim.

It looks quite complicated but it really isn't.  I hope you 'll watch my video below or here to see how it's made.

• Over the Moon Fun-Fold card

  February 27, 2020

  ---

  My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month.  Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month.  They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!  

  It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.  

  Save

  Isn't it cute?  It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

  The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here.  Aren't they perfect?!!!

• Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!

  February 26, 2020

  ---

  These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

  The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here. 

  Save

  I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping.  After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer.  Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card.  Easy! 

  Save

  The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  See the detail on the dies here?  Gorgeous! 

  Save

  These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay.  I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too.  That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.  

  These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last.  Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

• Sending Flowers Die creates a beautiful circle of flowers!

  February 25, 2020

  ---

  We made this pretty card at my Flowerbug's Team meeting last month. It features the new Sending You Flowers die that's available in the Coordination Product Release.  You can see all 5 new items here:

  This unique die cuts out the center of your paper; not the outside.  It gives you a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a frame.  That cute greeting banner is also part of the die set. 

  Details:

  • The greeting is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and is heat embossed in White embossing powder on Calypso Coral CS.
  • The ribbon is the 1/4" White crinkled ribbon colored with the Dark Pool Party Blends marker.
  • The flowers and stems are colored with Blends markers; they color so easily! 
  • That pretty designer paper behind the window is the Follow Your Art paper in the annual catalog on page 165.
