Amazing Side-step Vertical Easel card with Waves of the Ocean suite

We made this remarkable fun fold card at my March card clubs. It features the Waves of the Ocean suite seen here. 

March waves 1 Save

Dies featured here:

  • The Dandy Wishes dies in  the Garden Wishes bundle is 20% off right now. You can see that here.  I just love the die-cuts and greetings in it.  *I wonder if this will be on the retiring list tomorrow….. 
  • The 'Thanks' and 'Amazing' dies are from the Amazing Thanks dies in the 2022 Jan-June catalog.  You can see them here.  I love the double layering you get with them!!  

This card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" when finished and lays flat for mailing but stands up beautifully for display.  

March Waves card side Save

You can see how this is assembled in the video below.  I also list the measurements below too. 

The card includes two white panels; one for the middle and one for the back.  We stamped the wave from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set using Pacific Point ink on the middle layer.  We added some Bermuda Bay ink on the wave using a Blending Brush.  We also added a soft bit of Pacific Point for the sky.

Some left the back empty so they could add a greeting later; depending on what they needed at the time. 

As you can see below the gorgeous Waves of the Ocean designer paper includes a variety of 'paint poured' designs & colors.  I wanted it to be the main feature of the card and this fun fold made it happen!  This designer paper is available through May 1st or while supplies last.  This pretty paper, the foil and Waves rhinestones will not be in the new Annual catalog.

I used the Dandy Wishes dies for the 'flower heads'.  For the right card below I trimmed off a few of the side pieces to create a smaller flower head.

  • Shabby Chic Lovely & Sweet card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

    Here's the last card made in last week's video featuring the Nature's Sweetness suite. I absolutely love this color palette! 

    Lovely & Sweet Pecan Pie Save

    It's Pecan Pie with Pebbled Path & Gold accents with a rich monotone look. Look closely at the layout. It's basically a few random layers with only one that's layered.  Adding a few smaller elements creates the balance here. 

    Details & tips:

    • Note the distressed edges on a few of the layers. That is done by rubbing your open scissor blade over the edge of the paper.  Fast and fabulous results! *watch how I do it in the video below.
    • The large stamped Pecan Pie layer and the DSP square are both sponged with Pecan Pie ink to age them a bit. 
    • That butterfly is one of our Paper Butterfly Accents colored with a Light Natural Tones blends marker. I added some Gold Enamel Effects in streaks all over it. *see how in the video
    • I added Gold Enamel Effects as berries on the tall leaf die-cut on the left. 

    Here's how I stamped the inside.  The greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from Sale-a-Bration.

    The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge?  that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it.  The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here.

  • Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial

    I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!  

    Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video: 

    Notes of Nature Olive Save

    I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card.  The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper. 

    I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color. 

    Notes of Nature Olive.. Save

    More Details:

    • I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture! 
    • Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer.  This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper. 
    • I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.
