Don’t wait, theses items won’t last long!

Today I'm sharing a really neat fall themed card swap made by Lori. It's so pretty!

Sept Lori Autumn Expressions Save

She used the Autumn Expressions bundle seen here.  It has the neatest double frame die plus the chain, pretty leaves and more. 

She used the gorgeous Splendid Autumn DSP for her textured background and also for the scene inside the hanging frame. This DSP is unavailable right now; it should be back sometime this week.  You can see it here.

Don't you love the foil frame and hanging chain?!  

Measurements: 

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
  • Crushed Curry 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Textured DSP 3 3/4" X 5" 
  • Vanilla inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 

Can you see how the frame lifts up?  It reveals the back of the DSP on top and the stamped greeting inside.

I love the pretty greetings in this set.  And below you can also see the dies that are included. The frame folds on the scored hinge but you can use it alone too. 

AUTUMN EXPRESSIONS BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

Here's the inside view.  Her colors include Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Vanilla & copper from the Textured Metallic specialty paper seen here.

Next is another pretty card made by Marla. She also used the Splendid Autumn Designer paper for this fun fold card. 

Sept Marla Splendid Autumn Save

One 6" X 5 1/4" DSP piece is cut into 3 pieces to create this neat card.  

Measurements: She scored her 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" Cajun Craze card base as follows: 2 1/8" and 2 1/4". The DSP and Vanilla layers are all 2" X 5 1/4".  The best thing about these scenic cards is how the scene continues as you open the card. So be sure to cut and adhere the pieces in order.  

The greeting is from Thoughtful Journey; the leaf images are from You are Beautiful & maybe Irresistible Blooms.

  • Update on our move to Bismarck, ND

    If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.

    Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.

    Save

    In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.

    Save

    This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

  • Stunning Crossover Fun-fold card with Lily of the Valley

    This pretty card was made at my July card clubs. It has an elegant feel to it with the mostly white color combo.

    Save

    My colors here are White with Hydrangea Hue and Granny Apple Green. I colored the Lily of the Valley die-cuts with both Blends markers and tried the new Shimmer Brushes too. The gorgeous textured layers are made with the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder; it’s back in stock now! See it here.

    Save

    Look closely at the layers in my photo above and note how the upper left piece tucks under the right lower piece. That’s why it’s called a crossover fold; it actually locks together to lay mostly flat. You can see how it’s made in the video below.

    Save

    I gave my club gals a choice of using the Barely Blush or the Hydrangea hue colors. Which would you choose?

    Save

    Besides the video I also made a free project sheet for you with measurements and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

    The Lily of the Valley bundle is so pretty; I’m sure you’ve been seeing samples with it everywhere. See it here online.

    Save

    One piece of White 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock is needed for the card base and the other layers needed for this card but it’s well worth it!
