Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.

I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

• The Gang’s All Meer cute window card

  January 22, 2020

  ---

  This stamp set was one of the top free choices at my New Catalog Launch party earlier this month.  People are loving it!

  

  I chose to create a window card to highlight these cute critters.  We stamped them in Early Espresso and colored in with Crumb Cake blends markers. 

  **Did you know that when stamping an image you plan to color with our Blends markers you can use any color of our Classic ink pads?  They are water based and the markers are alcohol based.  

  See the stamp set here.  It's a free choice you receive for any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. This lasts through March. 

   

  

  

  Details:

  • Coastal Cabana frame is 4" X 3 1/2" and I used a 2 5/8" square die to cut the window.
  • The main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" thick White card stock
  • 1 3/8" scalloped circle for the greeting and 1 1/2" circle in Daffodil Delight
  • two 1/2" X 4" strips of Birthday Bonanza designer series paper
  • The twine bow is from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins combo pack; another FREE Sale-a-Bration choice!

• Honey Bee & Little Ladybug; choice!

  January 21, 2020

  ---

  I received this gorgeous swap card from my friend Diana Gibbs. I just love it!  

  

  Sweet and simple; but a big wow in my opinion.  The bees are colored with Blends markers in Seaside Spray and Mango Melody plus a little Wink of Stella on the wings.

  That pretty Golden Honey Specialty designer paper is one of the FREE choices in our Sale-a-Bration catalog right now.

  

  Get it free with any $50 order through March. But beware that some items do not last through the promotion; they've been known to run out of some items before the promotion ends. 

  The circles are 1 3/4" and the bees are die-cut using the Detailed Bee Dies.  These come in a bundle with the stamp set at 10% off.  See them here.   It pairs beautifully with the Golden Honey designer paper above.

  My friend Judith had a workshop this weekend and she loves the Little Ladybug stamp set so I gave them a choice of two cards.  She was so excited to earn this stamp set FREE with her workshop order. 

  

  Remember that I'm giving away one set in January!  Everyone who places an online order from me will be entered in the drawing. 

  

  I used a Light Flirty Flamingo Blends marker and the Wink of Stella and So Saffron ink for the belly. A bit of Petal Pink for the faces and sponging on the circles as well.  We added Gold pearls for an accent which pairs nicely with the Golden Honey specialty DSP. 

  The card stock measures 4" X 5 1/4" white, DSP is 1 7/8" X 5" and the Black is 2" X 5".  The circles here are 3/4", 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" in size. 

  Below you can see how we stamped the inside of the card.  

  

  Which one would you choose to make? 

  Besides Sale-a-Bration there are three more January Specials just for you!

  January 20, 2020

  Here's the other card we made at my January Flowerbug's Team Meeting featuring the Little Ladybug stamp set: 

  

  I thought the Friendly Silhouettes cat tails/grass die-cut would work well with this set.  See the little ladybugs behind the grass?  I did trim off the 'cattails' so it's just grass here.

  Did you know if you order $300 you'll get the following:

  2. 6 FREE Sale-a-Bration choices! 
  3. The Little Ladybug stamp set; free!
  4. You're over half way to a free stamp set from me with my Buyer Brownie Points rewards program; see that here. 
  5. A free Coastal Weave embossing folder (all orders over $65 in January) 
  6. My free 10 cards January project tutorial (all online orders) 

  Or get in on my January giveaway!  Place an online order with me in January and you'll be entered in the drawing for the Little Ladybug stamp set!
