Paula made this cool card with the Dainty Delight bundle; she's so clever! 

Her colors are Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight & Night of Navy. 

Details:

  • She used the partial die-cut technique.  She stamped & heat embossed the flower image first and then die-cut the layered edge to match before texturing it.  
  • That flowery DSP is the Regency Park paper in the 2023 Jan-April catalog.
  • The texture is from the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here. 
  • Notice that little tiny daisy on the greeting banner?  That's the new Loose Daisy Embellishments seen here.  They are not adhesive-backed and can be added with a mini glue dot or a dot of glue.  Each one has a little leaf on it!  

Next is a pretty card by Karen featuring the Desert Details bundle and the Delicate Desert designer paper. 

Her colors include Gray Granite & Calypso Coral with White & Gold.  The greeting, pretty flowers and border die are all from that Desert Details bundle seen here. 

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • DSP 5 1/2" X 3 1/8"
  • Calypso Coral 5 1/2" X 3 1/2"
  • White 4 1/2" X 3/4" 

Next is a special card made by Candace using the Lucky Clover bundle. 

The Lucky Clover bundle is unfortunately out of stock and not returning. The Lucky Clover punch is now unavailable.  I'm sorry if you had your eye on it!  You can still get the Lucky Clover stamp set though.  

She used 2 different greens for her clovers – Soft Sea Foam, Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen.  What you can't see in the photo is the scoring she did on her black background. She used the scoring board on the diagonal to add a scored texture.  So cool!

  • Trusty Tools single gatefold card with the Sale-a-Bration Trusty Toolbox designer paper


    Last week I shared the projects featuring the Trusty Tools bundle and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper in my weekly video. I've shared the free project sheets for two of those in the last two blog posts. 

     

    Today I'll focus on the third project on the right – a single gate-fold card with a 'faux' toolbox on the front.  

    I love this greeting!  It's from the Trusty Tools bundle seen here.  The tools in front are all fussy cut from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper (and Holographic specialty paper in the Annual Catalog) although a few of the dies in the bundle coordinate with the paper. 

    I did not create a project sheet for this project but I will provide the measurements:

    Measurements:

    • Gray Granite card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4" plus die-cut tool box pieces 
    • DSP – front is 2" X 5 1/4", inside is 4" X 5 1/4" plus fussy cut tools
    • Black 3 1/2" square
    • White greeting layer 2 3/4" X 1"; inside is 3 1/4" square

    Here's the inside view: 

    I also shared this adorable treat box on the video as well as another cool fun-fold card; I hope you watch it! 

    Below is the video where I demo how to make it.  Click here or on the photo below to watch this and two more projects featuring this bundle and designer paper.

  • Trusty Tools ‘Toolbox’ Treat box with video & free project sheet!


    Happy Valentine's Day! 

    I had to try my hand at making a treat box using the Trusty Toolbox designer paper. So I came up with this & shared it on last week's video here.

    Isn't it adorable?  It holds quite a few candy treats plus there's room for a gift card too. I plan to give this to my husband today.

    I decided to change it up a bit and added a pegboard (made with the Trusty Tools' dies seen here) to the back of my second box.

    The tools in the box are cut from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper seen here. You can use the Trusty Tools dies for some of them as they coordinate wonderfully.  But honestly I fussy cut most of them. 

    Details:

    • The box is 3 1/2" wide and the 1 1/2" deep & high. The pegboard is 4 1/2" tall. 
    • The 'Celebrate' greeting is from the Thoughtful Moments dies & emboss folder seen here.  My new favorite! I added ink after I cut the word out using my brayer very, very gently. *watch the video to see how
    • There are two handles glued back to back in the center. 
    • The tools are adhered to the front, center layer and the back to give depth & interest to the box. 
    • The tool designer paper on the front & sides are also from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    Aren't they just adorable?!  What a great little treat to give to the guys?  And why not the gals too?

    I shared a double box card and a second card all using the same colors & products in the video below. I hope you're inspired by it! 

    Below is the video where I demo how to make it.  Click here or on the photo below to watch this and two more projects featuring this bundle and designer paper.

  • A special Trusty Tools Double-box fun fold card – free project sheet & video tutorial


    We made this fabulous men's fun-fold card at my January Card Clubs; I also shared it on last week's Live video too.  

     

    It features Gray Granite, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade & White plus a bit of our Holographic specialty paper for the wrench die-cut.  

    This double box fun fold card can be positioned two ways – horizontal like this or vertical where the left box is the bottom. 

    A few details:

    • All 3 die-cuts on the front are from the Trusty Tools bundle & die set.
    • The neat textured Gray Granite layer is Metal Place 3D embossing folder. 
    • The tool designer paper is the Trusty Toolbox 12" DSP seen here.  It's free during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase.  I'm actually surprised they haven't run out of it yet!!

    If you order the Trusty Tools bundle you can earn the coordinating Trusty Toolbox designer paper FREE! It's $54.75 for the bundle.

    For greetings I also used the Throughout the Year stamp set for additional options. See it here.  

    I've used this stamp set so often!  It seems to have just what I need and I LOVE the fonts!
