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″
– Black square 3″
– White front square 2 3/4″, Inside is 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

• Book-binding Fold & Tuck card with video & free project sheet

  September 28, 2023

  ---

  Here's the second card I shared in last week's video; it's a book-binding card with a twist!  The main panel features the 'Tuck & Fold' technique I shared a few weeks ago. See that card here. 

  The designer paper is the Translucent Floral Online Exclusive seen here.

  
  

  Supplies:

  • Center greeting circle is from the Radiating Stitches dies seen here.
  • The Happy Birthday greeting is from the Inked & Tiled stamp set
  • Basics 3D embossing folders were used on the Lemon Lime Twist layer
  • 2022-24 In Color Baker's twine and Sequins Trio are the embellishments

  The pinwheel like layer above starts out with a 6 X 6" piece of designer paper. You score it at 1 1/2" on all sides and cut off the corners as seen below.  

  

  Then you fold in the outer rectangles into the center and fold back one corner on each side.  Watch the video below to see how it's done.  It's quite easy!  

  Save two of the corners you cut off and cut them in half on the diagonal. It really jazzes up the inside of this card!  

  

  You can see all three cards included in the video below. Click here to watch it, or scroll down a bit.

• All About Autumn Triple Stack & Cut cards

  September 27, 2023

  ---

  I wanted to share another version of the Triple Stack & Cut cards that I shared yesterday.  I made these for my September Team card swap: 

  

  I shared how to make these cards here; I also have a video below you can watch. It's a fun way to use your designer paper and make really quick but eye-catching cards.  

  As you can see in the photo below it's a type of mix & match game.  

  Tip: when choosing your designer papers I recommend you pick a large and small print and then one that is more of a background print. 

  

  The card base and Deckled circle are Pebbled Path. I used the Autumn Leaves bundle for my stamps & die-cuts. See it here. 

  

  *This pretty designer paper is currently unavailable but is expected back the week of October 9th.

• Triple Stack & Cut cards with free project sheet & video tutorial

  September 26, 2023

  ---

  I'm a bit addicted to this card layout!  I'm calling it the Triple Stack & Cut card.  

  

  You start out with three different patterns of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5".  Stack them together and make the upper right cut – a triangle.  You could measure it but I just made sure my stack was even and sliced it off. It's approximately 3/4" from the upper left and 1" from the lower right.  

  Then for the remaining pieces you continue cutting all three pieces at once, cutting approximately in half on the diagonal and about 1" from the lower left.  

  You can now mix & match so one piece of each pattern can fit on each of 3 card fronts.  I adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Berry Burst card stock.  That then adheres to your card base – I folded back my front to create a fun fold design.  

  

  Tip: Note that the patterned paper has a large print, a small print and one without pattern.  This can help your card appear soothing and less busy. 

  I shared how to do this on the video below.  In the video I used the Traditions of St. Nick designer paper; another Online Exclusive seen here.  

  I used the Christmas Classic bundle seen here with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow & White card stock. 

  

  The Mossy Meadow leaves are from the Christmas Classics dies.  Here are the three cards I made:
