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.

  • See how the Josephs Coat Technique is done; with video & free project sheet


    Here's another project made on last week's Live video; it's the Josephs Coat technique using the new, upcoming Leaf Collection stamp.  

    Leaf Collection Josephs coat

    That greeting stamp & scalloped oval die-cut are from the new Unbounded Love bundle from the upcoming 2024 Annual Catalog. I showed how to do this technique in the video here.  I also have a free project sheet with directions. 

    Here are the steps:

    1. Sponge ink all over a neutral piece of card stock – Pretty Peacock, new Summer Splash and lastly Granny Apple Green. 
    2. Wipe off any excess ink with a tissue to remove moisture.  Swipe with an embossing buddy.
    3. Ink your stamp in Versamark ink. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder.  
    4. Use a water-based ink pad like Memento Black and rub or tap the ink over it all.  This is called 'Direct to Paper'. 
    5. With a damp tissue or paper towel, wipe off excess ink from the embossed area. It will not stay on the embossed area. 
    6. Finish your card as you'd like. 

    Leaf Collection resist

    I inked the stamp again in a few colors – Granny Apple Green & Summer Splash, and fussy cut some leaves out for accents. Dies used above include Something Fancy & Stylish Shapes. 

    The card below features an emboss resist technique.  Same colors but the steps are different. 

    Leaf Collection Emboss resist

    1. First I stamped using Versamark ink onto White card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 
    2. Then I added ink over the clear embossing; using Blending Brushes. Inks include: Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.  *This must be water-based ink!
    3. Use a damp tissue or paper towel to wipe off excess ink that will not stick to the embossed areas. Done! 

    The greeting is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (online exclusive) and the tags are from the Something Fancy dies (carrying over).

  • Let’s Chat is cute & nostalgic! See the video & free project sheet


    Today I'm sharing one of the Club cards we made during my April Card Clubs. I chose the 'Let's Chat' stamp set seen here. 

    Let's Chat Club

    I love this set!  Between the fun old-fashioned telephone, the greetings and the curvy 'cord' images it's a blast to create with. 

    LET’S CHAT PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

    I chose to use the retiring Hot Air Balloon designer paper seen here for my color palette of Fresh Freesia & Balmy Blue. We did fussy cut the head set to add at the top with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

    Let's Chat Club April

    For the inside of the card I used the Happy Little Things stamp set seen here.  I really like the many greeting combinations you can make. t's one of our online exclusives.
