Creating with this stunning designer paper was pure pleasure. This DSP is well named; the colors and designs truly are beautiful. I chose the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty designer series paper for one of my January kits to go.

Each of the 5 layouts are fun folds and with the exclusive video they’re quick to assemble too. Interested? You can choose from either my pre-cut kit to go that includes products or the PDF tutorial option.

The Kit to Go is $31 plus shipping and includes 1/2 pkg of the Lovely & Beautiful DSP plus a share of the White/Gold ribbon and the Pearlized Faceted circle gems. You’ll also receive the PDF tutorial and exclusive video link as well. Opt in here to reserve it. The pre-cut kit & product is mailed out via Priority Mail at the end of the month.

The PDF tutorial is $16 and can be seen here. This tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies list, the video link and step by step directions.
The tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. Be sure to look for it in your spam or junk folder.

Fancy Fold Accordion Heart Doilies!

January 23, 2020
I dreamed of doing this fun accordion fold with the Heart Doilies in my sleep. I rarely do that! Do you?

I shared how in this week's Facebook Live yesterday. My FB Live's are usually on Tuesdays at 11 am but I was out of town so switched to Wednesday this week. It's so simple! And you could do this with many of our dies too! Click below to see it.

I also traced the flap of my envelope onto the From My Heart specialty designer paper to make this card extra, extra special!

Details:
- The pretty soft scallops on the edge of the DSP are from the new Braided Border punch. I did one length of it and cut it in half for both cards.
- The greeting is stamped on a Timeless Label punch and added to another Heart Doily. The stamps are from the Heart to Heart stamp set seen here.
- I used the new sparkly Faceted Gems from the From My Heart Suite. See them here
- You get 40 Heart doilies in one package for $5.50; a great deal at .14 cents each.
Cutting:
- I cut a strip of the From My Heart designer paper at 3" X 12" and cut that into two pieces 3" X 5 1/2" long. The hearts are the reverse side of the pretty foil double sided designer paper on the envelope. When you use these measurements you can get 8 cards from one sheet! It's a great way to use up the designer paper you may be 'hoarding'.
- The white layer inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; my favorite size for inside cards as you can get 5 from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11".
I folded each doily in half and glued each one to the next just on the outer curve. I adhered the folded doilies to the card with either Tombo liquid adhesive or Tear & Tape; it's super strong!

The Gang’s All Meer cute window card

January 22, 2020
This stamp set was one of the top free choices at my New Catalog Launch party earlier this month. People are loving it!

I chose to create a window card to highlight these cute critters. We stamped them in Early Espresso and colored in with Crumb Cake blends markers.

**Did you know that when stamping an image you plan to color with our Blends markers you can use any color of our Classic ink pads? They are water based and the markers are alcohol based.

See the stamp set here. It's a free choice you receive for any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. This lasts through March.

Details:
- Coastal Cabana frame is 4" X 3 1/2" and I used a 2 5/8" square die to cut the window.
- The main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" thick White card stock
- 1 3/8" scalloped circle for the greeting and 1 1/2" circle in Daffodil Delight
- two 1/2" X 4" strips of Birthday Bonanza designer series paper
- The twine bow is from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins combo pack; another FREE Sale-a-Bration choice!
See all of the FREE Sale-a-Bration choices here.

Honey Bee & Little Ladybug; choice!

January 21, 2020
I received this gorgeous swap card from my friend Diana Gibbs. I just love it!

Sweet and simple; but a big wow in my opinion. The bees are colored with Blends markers in Seaside Spray and Mango Melody plus a little Wink of Stella on the wings.

That pretty Golden Honey Specialty designer paper is one of the FREE choices in our Sale-a-Bration catalog right now.

Get it free with any $50 order through March. But beware that some items do not last through the promotion; they've been known to run out of some items before the promotion ends.

The circles are 1 3/4" and the bees are die-cut using the Detailed Bee Dies. These come in a bundle with the stamp set at 10% off. See them here. It pairs beautifully with the Golden Honey designer paper above.

My friend Judith had a workshop this weekend and she loves the Little Ladybug stamp set so I gave them a choice of two cards. She was so excited to earn this stamp set FREE with her workshop order.

Remember that I'm giving away one set in January! Everyone who places an online order from me will be entered in the drawing.

I used a Light Flirty Flamingo Blends marker and the Wink of Stella and So Saffron ink for the belly. A bit of Petal Pink for the faces and sponging on the circles as well. We added Gold pearls for an accent which pairs nicely with the Golden Honey specialty DSP.

The card stock measures 4" X 5 1/4" white, DSP is 1 7/8" X 5" and the Black is 2" X 5". The circles here are 3/4", 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" in size.

Below you can see how we stamped the inside of the card.

Which one would you choose to make?

Besides Sale-a-Bration there are three more January Specials just for you!
