Lovely & Beautiful fancy fold card swap with measurements

Kim made this amazing card for our April Team swap:

She combined new and current products for this beautiful card cased from Karen Hadler. That beautiful textured flower is from an upcoming bundle called Opulent Oasis. It includes a new die that textures; it’s called Textured Impression dies. I’ll share more details on this new product soon. It will be released on May 5th in the 2026 May-August catalog.

The designer paper is called Lovely & Beautiful and can be seen here. The pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies.
Here’s how it looks once opened:

So many layers!! The card stock colors include Old Olive, Petal Pink and Fresh Freesia.

Measurements:

– Olive card base 11″ X 4 1/4″ score at 2 3/4″ & 5 1/2″, second piece – 9″ X 3 34″ scored at 3″ & 6″
– Petal Pink layers 2 1/2″ X 4″ and 5 1/4″ X 4″ on the large piece. 3 pieces at 2 3/4″ X 3 1/2″ on the shorter piece
– DSP 1 1/4″ X 3 3/4″ and 5″ X 3 3/4″ on the large piece. 2 pieces at 2 1/2″ X 3 1/4″ on the shorter piece

• Favored Flowers SAB fun fold card with video

  December 27, 2022

  ---

  I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas weekend.  We sure did.  It was crazy busy trying to fit all of our annual activities into three days.  But we did it!  I sure love having my kids home for the holidays; we all look forward to it!

  We have a few traditions; one is an appetizer show down. Each one of us makes an appetizer for Christmas eve and we vote on them.  We vote on taste AND presentation.  This year my granddaughter won with her Pizza Monkey Bread with marinara dipping sauce.  I came in second with Spanakopita.

      

  The other fun thing we do is play Minute to Win It games.  We had a golf putting game, build the tallest snowman with marshmallows, Corn Hole, name the items in the stocking, moving mini marshmallows from one bow to another with a straw, filling a bowl with bows using a spatula blindfolded.  It's always a blast.  Funny story…. I always buy random presents for winners but totally forgot this year.  And I won!  Sheesh!  

  ~~~

  I shared this pretty card on last week's Facebook Live.  I'm not sure what this fold is called though!

  

  The center panel lifts up.  It's 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  The center DSP is 3" X 4" and so is the inside white panel.  

  The flowers on the front White oval are fussy cut from the designer paper. This beautiful paper is free with a $50 order starting January 5th during Sale-a-Bration.  
  

  I used Blackberry Bliss card stock since it matches the designer paper so well.  

  • Card base 5 ½” X 4 1/4", 3 ¼” X 8 ½” scored at 4 1/4"
  • White inside & DSP 3" X 4", DSP side pieces are 1" X 4" and 1 1/4" X 4"

  

  The greeting is from another Beautifully Happy stamp set; also a free choice during Sale-a-Bration.  It's a big 17 piece Photopolymer set that's free with a $100 order from January 5th – February 28th. 

  Here's the video showing how to make this card and another snowflake version too:

• Santa Suit candy bar pull-up treat with measurements

  December 23, 2022

  ---

  I shared this cute candy bar treat on my Tuesday FB Live video this week. Need a last minute treat or stocking stuffer??

  

  When you pull the ribbon it brings the candy bar out of the 'suit'.  So fun! And quite easy to make too.  It fits a standard full size Hershey candy bar but would likely work for others too.  
  

  Measurements: 

  • Real Red 6” square scored on one side at 1 ½”, 1 ¾”, 4 ¼” & 4 ½”
  • Black strip ¾” X 6” scored same as above, Black 1/2" 'buttons'
  • White glimmer ¾” X 6”
  • Silver buckle is from the Potted Succulents dies

  The  greeting is from the Holly Jolly Wishes  stamp set.  I used the Tailor Made Tags for my White greeting tag. 

  

   

  I wish you a very Merry Christmas! 

  I hope you can spend it with your favorite people!

• Snowflake Vellum fun fold card with video

  December 22, 2022

  ---

  We made this pretty card at my December Card Clubs.  I thought snowflakes would be perfect for many occasions coming up. 

  

  I used the Snowflake 12" specialty vellum that 'was' in our Holiday catalog.  They ran out of stock in early December.  And the Wonderful Snowflakes (large white snowflake) was discounted on the Last Chance list but they've run out now too!  This time of year is so difficult to plan for.  

  But they loved the card and thought the fold was fun too. 

  I shared how to make it on my FB Live yesterday.  Click here to watch. 

  Details: 

  • The back of the card is simply a quarter sheet of Starry Sky card stock – 5 1/2" X 4 1/4".  
  • The fold is 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". 
  • The large piece of vellum and the white inside are 3" X 4".  The side pieces of vellum are about 1 1/2" X 4".
  • I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set (retiring) & dies for the inside of the left card.  The Frosted Flurry dies are now out of stock. The birthday greeting on the right is from the Celebrating You stamp set (annual catalog)
  • The Starry Sky stitched circle is 3" around; a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.  They are also out of stock right now!  Sheesh!  I picked popular items for this card, didn't I?
