Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet

March 23, 2026

I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it.

Awesome Dance with Me fun fold card

January 22, 2025
Look at this gorgeous fun fold card Karen made for our Sale-a-Bration Team swap this month!

She used the Dance with Me stamp set and the Floral Delight designer paper. I love the spotlight technique she did too! You can see an example of it in the SAB catalog here. This neat spotlight technique is done with masking paper and a blending brush. It's so easy!

This set is free through February with any $60 purchase.

Her colors include Pool Party, White & Daffodil Delight. She used the Stylish Shapes dies to create her window fun fold effect. The greeting is from the Day to Celebrate stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

I plan to create this fun fold next month but in the meantime here are her measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- White inside 8" X 5 " scored at 2", 3 1/2" & 5 1/2"
- DSP front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside 1 1/4" X 4 3/4"
- large circle die-cut is 3", white for the dancing couple is 2 1/2"
I love this card! Thanks for doing an awesome job Karen!

Opt in for my Card stock shares

January 21, 2025

I have cardstock share's happening this month. We used to have these in the mini catalogs but they stopped offering them so I now offer them to my customers on occasion.

Here's how it works. Instead of getting 24 sheets of 1 color in a package (like the catalog offers), I provide 6 sheets each of 4 different colors. It's a great way to get a nice sampling of our card stock.

These colors coordinate with the new Designer Papers in the Spring catalog.

1. Wildflower Birthday – 6 sheets each of Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam

2. Floral Delight – 6 sheets each of Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly & Old Olive

3. Beautiful Bokeh – 6 sheets each of Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral

4. Friends of the Ocean – 6 sheets each of Pumpkin Pie, Summer Splash, Melon Mambo & Lemon Lime Twist

5. Storybook Moments – 6 sheets each of Mossy Meadow, Boho Blue, Basic Beige & Pebbled Path

6. Timeless Plaid – 6 sheets each of Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Calypso Coral & Wild Wheat

*If you'd like any of these let me know. I'll figure postage once you tell me how many shares you'd like and provide your zip code as well. Email me here for a quote.

These shares will be offered for just a few weeks; so contact me soon.
