Angled Gate-Fold card with a latch closure; template & video tutorial

October 12, 2021

I shared these cards last night on my Monday night Stamp with Me Live. They're called Angled Gate-Fold cards.

These first two cards feature the Painted Christmas designer paper, the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set & Seasonal Label dies. The large greeting die-cut was cut smaller by cutting once and reinserting it to trim off a bit. (shared in the video)

Save

On this card I added dimensionals to only the very left side of the greeting so it could work as a 'latch'. The right side flap slips between the left side and the die-cut greeting to keep the card closed flat. *Watch the video below to see how it's done.

Save

I created an easy template for both the card base and the additional designer paper layer.

Save

One important thing to note about the template below for the DSP layer is to be sure to check the direction & side you prefer before trimming off the angles. You can use this template for both sides; just trim off the opposite edge.

Save

I'll share the other two cards I made on Thursday; they're totally different!

Playful & unique cards with Oh So Ombre’ Designer paper!

February 17, 2021

Do you have the fabulous Oh So Ombre' Designer Series Paper yet? If not here are three creative reasons you need it!

Save

Aren't they fun! I really wanted to show you how amazing this designer paper is so I played and came up with these neat card ideas. First is a starburst card in two colors; Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss.

I used the fabulous Stitched Star dies and the Oval Occasions stamp set. Watch the video below to see just how easy it is to make one of these gorgeous cards.

Save

Next I played with the Dandy Wishes dies (2021 Spring Catalog) to create these 'Retro' style cards. I first die-cut a bunch of 'windows' in the White panel. Then added punched circles of the Oh So Ombre DSP behind them. Next I textured the entire thing with an embossing folder.

Save

For the last card I wanted to use those retro style die-cuts so I created this Ombre panel card. The stamp set is from Field of Flowers.

The cards above will be super easy to finish! All you'll need to do is cut two pieces of Sand & Sea DSP (included in your kit) and sponge the textured & die-cut shells pieces in your pre-cut kit. Then stamp your greeting on the pre-cut die-cut. Done!

You Are Amazing cards with Blending Brush ideas

February 15, 2021

Last week on my Tuesday Live I shared three cards featuring the You Are Amazing stamp set & the new blending brushes. I've always loved sponging and these new brushes are incredible! They are so popular they are currently on back-order; but you can still order them!

Save

This cute stamp set is on page 7 of the Spring catalog. Click here to see it. It coordinates with the You Are Amazing card kit.

Join me here for my weekly 'Facebook Live on Tuesday, February 16th here at 11 am CT.

On this first card I used the Happy Dies to create a colorful title banner.

This was my favorite and also loved by many others too. I created a few 'star stencils' with the Stitched Stars dies and sponged in the windows.

Save

I added a few Artistry Blooms sequins for extra bling.

Save

And on this card I sponged on the True Love polka dot paper. It was Black & White but is now two-toned!
