Is it hard for you to toss those small pieces of designer paper pieces? Well, if you’re a ‘saver’ I have a quick card idea for you.
Here I used the pretty Velvet Meadow specialty designer paper from our Online store. It has velvet/flocked accents that feel soft and fuzzy. See it here.
Unfortunately it’s currently out of stock but it will be back! Add your email to the product page so you’re notified when it’s available.
I cut three different patterns of DSP in 1/2″ wide strips. I added them to a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock (3″ X 4 3/4″) at an angle. I left a narrow space between them all and trimmed off the ends afterwards. Then I layered it on another Peaceful Pine piece slightly larger before adding it to my Bubble Bath card base.
Tip: Adding the designer paper layer on the left and adding the greeting strip hanging off on the right adds balance to the card.
The greeting is made with the Scalloped Blooms dies. The flower and leaves are fussy cut from the designer paper. A quick and pretty card!

Trucking Along window fun fold card with video & free project sheet!
Today I'm sharing one of my October card club projects; it features the Trucking Along punch bundle. See it here; it's now back in stock!!
I used an easy technique on the window and tire rims. See how they're a soft white? Using our White Craft ink pad, I grabbed a bit of White ink with a blender pen and colored these areas. You can add more color if you'd like it whiter, but I like the almost opaque look.
Note one card has presents and the other a tree in the truck bed. These are stamped on a separate piece of White paper and fussy cut before adding to the truck.
I created two options for my Club members; a birthday or a Christmas card. This Truck bundle has a wide variety of stamps & greetings. I did use the Happy Birthday image from the Enjoy the Rhythm set and the inside Christmas greeting from the Brightest Glow stamp set.

Today's project was inspired by my Team member Candace who made this cool fun fold card for a recent swap.
Isn't it neat! She featured the Beary Cute bundle on her card in Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate & Pretty Peacock.
My favorite part of her card is that it's quite easy to make! I knew my followers would like to know how to make it so I shared it on a recent video (seen below).
I used similar colors but chose the Magical Meadow stamp set & the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks seen here.
I used a blending brush, Lost Lagoon ink and the snowflake mask to create my card front. After adding the pretty snowflakes I textured it with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.
It's a mini slim line card; the finished size is 3" X 5 1/2". I just love the fun of the popped up panels inside!

I shared this card on last week's Live video. It features the So Very Merry stamp set and the Snowflake Magic designer paper.
I made a bunch of these cards for our Flowerbug's October Christmas card swap. You might wonder how I achieved the starburst effect with the Snowflake Magic designer paper. Keep reading plus watch the video seen here or below!
Other products used:
Vellum card stock, Gold Foil paper, Deckled circle dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Blends markers for coloring & Gold heat embossing.
Here's what the inside looks like. Make note of the little designer paper triangles inside; remember this when you see the cutting templates below.
My friend Lyssa Zwolenek inspired these cards and created the template too. She is super creative and so great about sharing ideas!
Below are a few cutting templates for you.
Watch the video hereor below to see how this is done.
Directions:
You'll start out with a 6" square of designer paper.
First cut is at 2". You're left with a 4" X 6" piece on the right.
Cut the 2" strip into a 2" X 4" piece, leaving you with a 2" square.
Next cut the 4" X 6" piece on the right into three 2" X 4" pieces.
See this gorgeous Snowflake Magic specialty paper here.
Now you'll cut each 2" X 4" strip into two pieces by cutting it in half on the diagonal.
Be sure you cut each one in the same direction.
Cut the 2" square in half on the diagonal and then cut each triangle in half. These pieces are used on the inside of the card.
You'll use 4 of the large pieces and two small triangles on each card.
