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

August 24, 2026

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.

You can see the video for this card and one more below. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!

Friends for Life cards; a quick layout you’ll love. Check out the free project sheet & video too

July 2, 2024

Today I'm sharing an eye-catching card made with the Friends for Life bundle. I think they're fabulous if I do say so myself!

They feature the Friends for Life bundle seen here. I also used two more favorites – the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder. *Click on each title to see them in my store.

The unique Designer paper is the Full of Life 6 X 6" paper seen here. I love it so much; it includes bright bursts of colorful patterns filled with watercolor type prints. *my free tutorial of the month features this suite! See below.

The measurements are so simple. I cut the 6" DSP down to 5 1/4" X 6" and then cut that into two pieces – one for each card. I then textured it with the Dotted 3D embossing folder and added it to a narrow strip of coordinating card stock on the left side.

All that's left is to add the layered circles and friend die-cut.

I matched the DSP with coordinating card stock. The card above is Night of Navy and this card below is Shaded Spruce.
