  • Join me for a Free Fun Fold card class – Live tonight!


    We're making this neat Tuck & Fold 'Peek-a-Boo' card tonight on my Facebook Page here.  It starts at 7:30 pm CT Monday evening.  

    I encourage my followers to prep their pieces ahead of time and create along with me on the Live video. 

    You'll need the following pieces & tools:

    • Designer paper 6 X 6". Score it at 1 1/2" on all 4 sides.  Cut off all 4 corners. 
    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • Front & inside layers 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Greeting for front
    • White layer inside the DSP fold – 2 3/4" square 
    • Embellishments, adhesive, stamps & ink as desired 

    I'm using a brand new designer paper from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  It's called Garden Walk. It comes in 6 X 6" size – 48 sheets – 6 each of 6 designs.  

    **I'll be offering a designer paper share later this week; it includes eighty 6 X 6" pieces of our newest, beautiful designer papers – all for $37 including shipping!  Let me know if you want in on this; I'm taking names now and can invoice you after Wednesday.  

    Here's the inside view:  I saved 3 of the 4 cut off corners to create a unique way to add my greeting.  

    My card base is Calypso Coral as well as the ink. The stamps are both from a new set called So Sincere.  It's one of my very favorites in the Holiday catalog! 

    I hope you join me tomorrow night; Monday, August 28th at 7 pm CT here.  If you aren't on Facebook the video will be uploaded to my YouTube channel here. 

    Oh; did you spy the new embossing folder? It's called Distressed Tile; it is in the upcoming Holiday catalog.  

    The 'Celebrate' die-cut is from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.

  • AMAZING Gone Fishing Vest card


    We were all amazed at Jacki's swap card; look at this!!

    Our theme was to make a card without a greeting on it.  What a huge 'WOW' card she made!  

    She used Night of Navy, Real Red, Silver foil (online exclusive) and some Countryside Inn DSP for the pockets and inside trim. 

    Her card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" tall. It's scored 2 1/8" from each edge. She used circle dies to cut the arm holes and scored the collar to fold it back.  She also trimmed the bottom at angles and sponged the edges with Navy ink to give it depth. 

    I'm not sure how she cut the pockets.  But I know I would create one I'm happy with and then use it as a template to cut the rest.  She made over 10 of these; it took her many evenings to make them all.  Those of us lucky enough to get one sure appreciate it!!

    I am wondering how many people will be casing this incredible card….  

    All of the extra items in the pockets are from the Gone Fishing bundle; it has so many fabulous die-cuts in it.  See it here.

  • Get Designer Paper ideas from these neat Team swaps


    Our latest Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to create cards without a greeting on the front.  I shared quite a few yesterday and here are three more: 

    First is a card made by Paula; check out the many details!

    She featured the Earthen Elegance suite seen here – the Earthen Textures bundle, the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the neat Natural 1/4" wavy trim too!  

    Lots of details and textures here:

    1. She spattered her Vanilla textured front layer using a paint brush. 
    2. She stamped one of the natural elements images on the right inside layer. 
    3. She wrapped the vase (cut from the Earthen Elegance DSP) with the Natural Wavy trim and added another die-cut piece  as a second decorative element.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base is 6 1/2" X 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla front 2" X 5 1/4", inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP inside 1" X 5 1/4"

    ~~~

    Next is a special card fold made by Annette who featured the Masterfully Made designer paper: 

    It doesn't look like a fun fold from the front.  But it sure shows off that pretty designer paper! 

    Do you see the wavy die-cut trim in Pretty Peacock?  It separates the right side edge of the same DSP as the front.  She folded it back on itself so you see both sides of the DSP on the card front.  What a neat idea!  

    Here's the inside view.  She added the other die-cut edge as an extra detail to the inside of the card.  

    I believe her measurements are: 

    • DSP 6" X 5 1/2", score at 1/2" and 4 3/4" (the 1/2" side is adhered to the back of the quarter size card base.  
    • Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", plus a 1 1/4" X 5 1/2" strip to cut the wavy trim (Basic Border dies)

    Next is a book binding fun fold card made by Candy. She featured the Sweet & Precious stamp set seen here.  

    Her colors include Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie and Pretty Peacock. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP 1" X 4"
    • Pretty Peacock 4" square

    Details:

    • She colored the sweet animals in with her Blends markers. 
    • The circle and square die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies. 
    • The Pretty Peacock layer is textured with the Fern 3D folder
    • The DSP on the left edge is the Glorious Gingham.
