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!

  • NEAT Center Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet


    I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend.  We are having a quiet one at home, getting yard work done and also enjoying time off together. We've had lovely rain lately. The grass is green and I hope my garden takes off once the weather warms up a bit. 

    On last week's Live I made a super neat fun fold card.  This photo shows the card front which starts out as a gatefold card. 

    I chose the Wildflower Designs bundle because it seems to have everything I like in a bundle – florals & botanicals, lovely greetings and wonderful dies too.  

    The designer paper is the Country Woods seen here.  It's currently unavailable as they ran out of stock. But it should be back within a week or so.  That pretty die-cut circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  Love these dies so much! 

    Here's what it look like open: 

    I was inspired by two of my team members to try this fun fold card layout.  I thought it looked quite complicated but they assured me it wasn't.  They were right!  It was just a few extra score and cut lines. I hope you'll watch the video below to see how it's done.  

    The center dies are included in the Wildflower Designs bundle seen here.  All of these patterns are included in the Country Woods designer series paper pack. No wonder it's already sold out!  

     

    Compare these cards; I changed both the front and the inside.

    Watch the video below; it's the second project I share. I'll share the first card in a day or two.

  • Last set of swaps made by my Team using the new In Colors


    Here are the last of this month's Team swaps:

    Mary made this pretty card using two new In Colors – Petunia Pop & Summer Splash.

    She used the new Unbounded Love bundle and the Unbounded Beauty designer paper.  The bundle is not available right now and the DSP is in low inventory. Popular items for sure!! The embossing folder is Distress Tile 3D. 

    Measurements:

    • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4".
    • Petunia Pop 5 1/4" X 4" & 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"
    • Summer Splash 5" X 3 3/4"
    • DSP 3 1/4" X 2 1/2" 

    Rita made this cute card with the 2024-26 In Color designer paper. 

    Her card base is White as is her textured layer although it's hard to see here.  She added a Nested Essentials DSP die-cut vertically that adds some fun interest to the card.  

    ~~~

    Lastly is Paula's pretty card; she used the same colors and designer papers as Mary's card above. Petunia Pop is beautiful with Summer Splash. 

    She used the Unbounded Beauty suite here; see it on page 54 of your new Annual catalog. It starts out as a center gate-fold card but turns into so much more when you open it!  

    It's a center fold pop up card!  I was amazed by it and thought it looked super hard to make.  She assured me it wasn't so I took on the challenge and made one on my Tuesday Live video seen here.  

    Isn't this an amazing card?  It looks so challenging to make! 

    I'm not going to share measurements for this card today since it's very similar to the card I shared on the Tuesday video.  I will post the video & free project sheet for my card on Monday.

    Thank you so much for the inspiration & encouragement Paula.  You were right; this card was easier than I thought!

  • Neat card layouts you’ll love on these Team swaps!


    Today I'm sharing more of our Team swaps from our latest gathering.  

    First up is Tracey's swap featuring the Full of Life designer paper.

    This pack of paper is filled with bold patterns and bright colors; see it here.  She layered 3 pieces of designer paper with Berry Burst card stock. The greeting is heat embossed on the back side of one of these patterns.  

    The butterflies are from the Paper Butterfly Accents seen here. They are available in the online store now. 

    Measurements:

    • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
    • DSP – largest 4 1/2" X 3", tall 2" X 4", 2" square
    • cardstock layers – largest 4 3/4" X 3 1/3", tall 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", 2 1/4" square
    • Greeting is 3/4" X 2 3/4" (used the Happy Labels Pick a Punch on the ends) 

    Next is a beautiful card made by Ginny; she chose the incredible Thoughtful Journey designer paper (out of stock & unavailable until the week of May 27th).

    I shared another version of this card here last week.  

    To make this card you need just a few pieces of paper to start with, plus your greeting. 

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 3 1/2" square – cut from the left side at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
    • Misty Moonlight card stock is 4 1/4" X 3" 

    Next is a soft & pretty card made by Jonna. She chose to feature the Cheerful Daisy stamp set & coordinating dies seen on page 75 of the Annual Catalog. 


    Her fresh color combination is Lemon Lolly with Soft Sea Foam. She added this pretty soft yellow ink to the daisy centers and layered the dies so nicely they look super realistic!  The embossing folder is the Exposed Brick 3D which is currently out of stock; but it will be back! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4", upper layer is 5" X 2 1/4"
    • Lemon Lolly layer 5 1/4" X 4"
    • White textured is 5" X 3 3/4", stamped White is 5" X 2"

    I'll be back with more swaps tomorrow!
