More beautiful Team swaps for Autumn

First up is a fun fold card made by Paula:

This pretty stamp is part of the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set seen here. She colored the image in with Blends markers. Beautiful work Paula!

I don’t remember seeing a fold like this card before. I love that the main panel on the left is accented by the DSP panel on the right.

Here are her measurements:
– card base 10 3/4″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 1 5/8″, 3 1/4″, 7 1/2″ & 9 1/8″
– left panel – vanilla 2 3/4″ X 4 3/4″, Early Espresso 3″ X 5″
– right panel – DSP 2 3/4″ X 3 3/4″, Early Espresso layer 3″ X 4″
– Vanilla inside 3 3/4″ X 5″

Next is a gorgeous card made by Tracey:

Isn’t it stunning?! Tracey loves to create her own background with stamps. It looks like printed paper! She says she stamped the flowers & leaves in 12 different ink colors!! Wow!

She used the following stamps: Encircled with Love, Blooming Phrases, Impressions Abloom, With You in Mind & You are Remarkable.

The leaves are from the Thankful Garden dies; the embossing folder is Exposed Brick. What a fabulous card!

Lastly today is a fun Halloween card made by Barb:

She used the Spooky Halloween bundle & Halloween designer paper. See this suite here.

Her colors include Black with Daffodil Delight. She did a ton of extra work to make her card a bit spooky; notice all of her sponging….

She colored the main image in with Blends markers and textured the left panel too.

Measurements:
– Black card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″
– Daffodil Delight 2″ X 5 1/4″ for the left panel, inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″

• Use your scraps with the Double Twisted Ribbon technique; live class tonight!

  October 24, 2022

  ---

  If you like using up those paper scraps I have a fun technique to share.  It's called the Double Twisted Ribbon technique. 

  I'll be demonstrating it on tonight's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook.  It's at 7:30 pm Central time on the last Monday of the month and it's a free class!  See the replay here

  

  I chose to use the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here for my card samples.  It's so pretty with the gold foil accents and fine patterns.  

  Tips:

  • You'll need 6 strips of two different patterns; you can also use card stock for them.  I cut them into 1/2" X 4" strips.  
  • The strips are adhered to a White piece measuring 2 1/2" X 5 1/4".  This is scored every 1" from the top down.  These score lines help you when adhering your strips. 
  • Once your strips are adhered you will add it to a layer measuring 2 3/4" X 5 1/2".  I recommend you use a color that coordinates with a color in your DSP.  

  For this card I chose to use the Holly Berry dies for the leaves & berries.  The greeting die-cut is from the All That dies.  

  

  My card base is Evening Evergreen.  The greeting is from the upcoming Framed & Festive stamp set.  It's new and available to Demonstrators in October, but will be out for customers in November.  

  For this next card I stamped the greeting (also from the Framed & Festive stamp set) onto a die-cut circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

  

  That pretty gold leaf die-cut is from the upcoming Framed Floret dies – also coming out in November for customers.  I added a few Festive Pearls for berries.

• Triple Accordion fun fold card with Lights Aglow DSP; easy but WOW!

  October 21, 2022

  ---

  I love this unique fun fold card; I'm calling it a triple accordion card.  I demonstrated it on this week's FB Live video.  See it here on my YouTube channel.  

  

   

  I featured the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here.  It's so beautiful in Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Black, Evening Evergreen and pretty gold foil accents. Luckily it's back in stock right now. 

   

  Here's what the card looks like folded flat.  It shows off multiple sheets of the designer paper and fits in a standard A2 envelope, measuring 5 1/2" X 4 1/4". 
  

  I used a few other products here; especially gold themed items. 

  Gold foil and Gold Distressed paper, Elegant Metallic trim, Gold embossing powder & Festive Pearls.  I also used the Twinkling Lights and Layering Circle dies and the Brightest Glow stamp set.

  For variety I added some Evening Evergreen to the next card.  

  

  Measurements: 

  • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 2 ½”, 3 ¾”, 6 ¾” & 8 ¼”
  • DSP 2 pieces at 4” X 4”, the center Cherry square is 3". Vanilla 2 ½” X 4”

  Below you can see the gold tree & dotted die-cut snowflakes & garland from the Twinkling Lights dies here.  Again, the greetings are all from the Brightest Glow stamp set seen here. 

  The greeting die-cut for the 'joy' is from the Potted Succulents dies; a few loops of gold cord are added underneath it.  

  

   

  Which one do you prefer; the card with some Evergreen or the one all Cherry Cobbler?

• Look what you can do with the Charming Landscapes embossing folders

  October 20, 2022

  ---

  I shared a fun way to use the Charming Landscapes embossing folders in this week's FB Live video.  Look! 

  

  After I textured White card stock with the folders I trimmed the excess off and adhered it over a piece of Lights Aglow designer paper and then onto my White card base.  So simple with just a little bit of fussy cutting.  See the Charming Landscapes embossing duo here. 

  

  The greeting is from the Brightest Glow stamp set, heat embossed with Gold embossing powder.  A few loops of gold cording is added to the back.  

  Here's another version; a bit more fussy cutting on this one though! 

  

  This one did take more time to trim….  I added light So Saffron Blends marker and Wink of Stella to the little village houses.

  What do you think?  I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold colors.  

  

   

  Below is the video where I show these cards and a special fun fold card too.  All made with the beautiful Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here.  

   

  There are still a few spots left in my Lights Aglow Christmas card kit to go.  Click here to see it.  Or get the PDF tutorial here.
