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.

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

• Artist of the Month projects with the Bag of Bones suite!

  October 13, 2023

  ---

  Our Artist of the Month for September was Candy who chose the Bag of Bones bundle. She did an incredible job on her projects! 

  

  The suite is no longer available because the Glow in the Dark bats & ghosts have been discontinued. This means you can still get everything else individually. 

  First is a card showing off both the Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer paper.

  

  She tore her paper and pieces it on her card base.  Then she stamped the skeleton using Versmark onto Black card stock heat embossing it with White embossing powder. Love the boots and hat on him!  The circles are die-cuts from the new Deckled Circle dies in the 2023 Holiday catalog.  

  Here's the Them Bones designer paper: 

  

  Next is a neat monochromatic card in Basic Gray and Gray Granite.  She stamped the background with the skeleton bones!

  

  The tombstone, fence, bats, cat and dog are all die-cuts from the Bag of Bones bundle. The dog and cat are stamped on our Glow in the Dark specialty paper.  You must use Stazon in for this or it may run. She sponged on gray ink onto the tombstone and fence for a 'spooky' look.  

  Next is a cute treat holder made with that same tombstone die-cut.  She simply added a few strips of card stock inside the two die-cuts to create a pouch.  

   

  

   

   

   

  This card is so fun; she featured a panel from the Them Bones designer paper to show off the dancing skeleton.  Love his suspenders, hat and bow tie!!  

  

  These skeletons are all heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. You can see a few of the glow in the dark bats and ghosts here.  Unfortunately they are sold out now and will not return.  

  Here's a slimline card showing off more of the Them Bones designer paper.  Her colors are Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. 

  

  Isn't it cute how the skeleton on the bottom has his dog on a leash?!  

  This next card shows off a neat background effect.  She used the Deckled Circle dies 

  

  The background is made by sponging on the houndstooth mask (Abundant Beauty decorative masks) then debossed it with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. She then dragged the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across it.  Cool!  

  Didn't she create a fabulous group of projects. She truly showcased this Halloween suite wonderfully!  Fantastic job Candy!!!

• Pick of the Patch Diamond Flap fun fold card.

  October 12, 2023

  ---

  I created this super fun card on a video a few weeks ago. It features the Pick of the Patch stamp & punch bundle and Them Bones designer series paper.  

  

  I was inspired by a card my friend Susie Wood made and sent to me. She is fabulous at designing fun fold cards and an amazing designer. Check out her blog here. 

  She used the same designer paper and the Leaf Fall embossing folder but her stamp set is Cheers to the Season seen here. 

  

  Here's the inside view. You can see the Leaf Fall embossing folder here.

  

  This card starts out at 10 1/2" X 4 1/4" and with a few score lines and a trim of the end points, you'll achieve this neat fun fold. 

  *Here's the free printable project sheet: Download Diamond Flap fun fold card

  Below is the video; click on it to see how this card is made.
