All but one card of the 5 designs are fun fold layouts. This floral themed designer paper includes a sheet of pre-cut ephemera which makes creating a breeze. I added the Fresh Freesia ribbon and rhinestone gems and include them in the kit to go.

I design my card kits specifically to make them easy to finish; you need a few inks and stamped greetings. You will need to cut your new designer paper using my tutorial as a guide. Everything else is pre-cut for you; perfect for easy crafting!

Choose from the pre-cut kit to go which includes approximately $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards and PDF tutorial for $33. Click here.

Or choose the PDF tutorial for $17. Click here for that option.

The tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. The kit to go is mailed out mid August.

I have many kits available and some are discounted; check them all out here.

• Origami Christmas Tree card; soooo easy!

  December 15, 2021

  I make one of these trees almost every year.  Why? Because they are easy & fun and we always have new Designer Paper for me to play with. 

  All you need are four squares of DSP. No scoring or other measurements.  Watch the video here or below to see how it's done.

• Easy Christmas Ornament card

  December 14, 2021

  ---

  I think this is pretty clever & unique; it's a 'faux' Christmas ornament on a card. And it's quick & easy too!

  It looks so real; like you could lift it off!  And you actually could if you use temporary adhesive; or add it to a pocket.  

  I shared this project on a FB Live last week.  It's the second project I made in this video.  

  Products used:

  • Merry Melody embossing folder on the White CS
  • The ornament is made with the largest smooth circle in our Circles dies. 
  • The DSP is called Painted Christmas and is in low inventory right now.  
  • Elegant Trim for the 'hanger'. 
  • Brushed Metallic specialty CS for the 'hanger'. 
  • Heat embossing for the greeting – from the Words of Cheer stamp set. 
  • CS is Real Red, White & Evening Evergreen 

  Here's a close-up of it.

  I give a few hints in the video on achieving this.  Basically you want to stamp your greeting first and add it to your DSP.  THEN cut both pieces out at the same time with your circle die.

• Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!

  December 13, 2021

  ---

  We made these cards on FB Live Monday night.  What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video.

  I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here.  One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color! 

  Tips: 

  • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
  • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
  • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
  • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
  • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
  • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
  • Add a greeting and accents if desired.

  You might wonder where this greeting is from.  It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'.  It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper.  It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February.  Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period. 

  The other new items here is a punch.  Can you spot it?  It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch.  The large leaf and the 'buds' too.
