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.

One Horse Open Sleigh Fun Fold cards with video & measurements!

September 12, 2023
On last week's Live video I shared three fantastic fun fold cards featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper – it's an Online Exclusive you can see here.

These cards were featured in last month's card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold! The kit is no longer available but the PDF tutorial is here. You can see all of the cards in the tutorial below:

I love this card because it shows off the full beauty of this scenic paper. Whenever I have a pretty scenic paper I want to show off this is the layout I use.

Just trim off 3/4" of the upper or lower edge of the designer paper and cut using the following measurements:

Measurements:
- DSP – start with 1 piece 5 ¼” tall X 6” wide. Make your first cut 2 ¾” from the left edge vertically. From that cut edge cut another piece at 1 1/8"
- Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 1 ½” & 4 ¼”
- White inside 1 ¾” X 5 ¼”
I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings. It's my favorite set from the Annual Catalog; see it here.

Forever Forest – beautiful mountains & trees

September 11, 2023

I created this card for an online swap I'd joined last month. It shows off the gorgeous mountain dies in the Forever Forest bundle.

I knew I had to get this bundle with the many trees, that gorgeous mountain die and the other options. It's a fabulous scene builder set! See the bundle here.

I used Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the trio of trees image, adding a second image without reinking. Then I added 5 die-cut trees from Shaded Spruce card stock over the stamped trees.

I wanted to create a soft sky above the trees so I lightly added Balmy Blue ink with a Blending Brush. I then inked the 'cloud' image in the same Balmy Blue, stamped off once and stamped in the sky.

The 'Winter Wishes' is from the Magical Meadow stamp set seen here.

I die-cut two mountains in White for each card, adding them in different positions on the bottom of the stamped White layer. After I added them I trimmed off the excess on the sides before adhering the layer to the card base.

What do you think?
