Cutest Crew Club card; quick & cute! Free project sheet too

This is one of the cards we made at my April card clubs; it features the Cutest Crew bundle.

The Cutest Crew bundle (seen here) has been so popular they cannot keep it in stock! The dies were available last week but now they’re gone again. They should be back the week of May 18th though. Be sure to add your email to the product page so you get a notification as to when they’re available.

My colors are Coastal Cabana with White, Pecan Pie & Crumb Cake. I used the Hobby Haven and Wood Grain Wonders designer papers on my card. Here’s the cat version:

I colored the critters in with Blends markers; stamping the images with Black Memento ink. The stitched die is from the Nested Essential dies seen here; one of my favorites.

I stamped the paw prints image repeatedly in the inside and added one of the pet die-cuts.

Which is your favorite?

I shared a video last week on Facebook and it’s now uploaded to my YouTube Channel. Plus you can access the free project sheet here.

• The easy way to make a ‘Fractured’ card! Video tutorial & free project sheet!

  August 22, 2023

  ---

  You may have seen these cards online lately; they're quite popular.  It looked s bit intimidating to me; I thought I'd have to do a lot of measuring to get the pieces to fit exactly.  

  Well my team member Karen shared how to make them at our August Team meeting and I was surprised to learn it's quite easy peasy!  So I had to share the fractured card on a recent Live video so YOU could see how fun & quick it is.

  I chose to use the Hello, Irresistible designer paper and the Irresistible Blooms stamp set; both Online Exclusives. See all of our products available online here.  There are so many they have their own category!  

  This card starts out with a full 4" X 5 1/4" layer of designer paper.  The center squares and strips are added on directly over the designer paper!  No measuring needed!!

  This pretty designer paper is in low inventory.  Do you have it yet?  It's just beautiful!

  

  My center squares are approximately 2" in size and are from the Stylish Shapes dies – the middle die of the 5 square dies. I chose to add a 2 1/4" layer under my square.  

  Tip: Once you adhere your square to the upper center (eyeballing, no measuring needed) you will start adding your 1/4" X 5" strips of card stock.  You start at the upper center.  Leave the excess strips hanging off the card until you're done; then just trim off.  *watch the video below to see my helpful tips for success. 

  Here are both cards I shared in the video; one in Pretty Peacock and the other in Petal Pink. 

  

   

  Which do you prefer?  One is soft and pretty and the other is vibrant. I like the 1/4" strips to match the card base; I feel it gives a greater sense of continuity.  

  I kept these cards quite simple but you could certainly add more to it.

• Bendy Window card with free PDF & video tutorial!

  August 21, 2023

  ---

  I shared this super unique fun fold card on last week's Live video.  If you're on Facebook please follow me here for my weekly Tuesday morning videos. If not, you can always follow my YouTube channel here.  

  

  As you can see it looks a bit tricky… but with my step by step tutorial it's not!  I do have a PDF project sheet for it but even with the written instructions I the video posted below will help a lot.  

  I chose to use the Irresistible Blooms bundle and the Hello, Irresistible 6 X 6" designer paper (currently in low inventory). Both of these are Online Exclusives.  My colors are Lost Lagoon with Soft Sea Foam.  

  There is a little fold of card stock under the stamped White tag that pops it up when the card is opened. 

  Here's a peek at it.  There are three rolled up mini glue dots on the peak of this piece that adheres the tag to it.  

  

  I made a second version during the video using Petal Pink card stock. 

  

  Here's the PDF project sheet with measurements & a supplies list: Download Bendy Window card tutorial sheet.  Which one do you prefer?

• Abundant Beauty sunflower notecards with video tips

  August 18, 2023

  ---

  Here are a few more sunflower cards I shared on a recent video. All using the new Abundant Beauty decorative masks from the upcoming Holiday catalog.   

  

  These are our Vanilla notecards & envelopes.  They're in the annual catalog and you can see them here online.  They're perfect for quick thank you cards or an addition to a gift.  

  Here are the steps to creating the sunflowers.  I shared tips in the video below: 

  

  There are 4 masks – the petals, the solid center, the details center and the leaves.  I used Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie and Old Olive inks.

  

  For my greeting I chose the new stamp set So Sincere.  It's filled with beautiful greetings; you're absolutely going to want it!
