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!

  • Inked Botanicals Diagonal Z-fold card; with a free printable project sheet!


    Each month at my local Card Clubs we make at least one fun fold card.  Here's the  pretty card we made in August: 

    It's called a Diagonal Z-fold card.  You might think it looks a bit intimidating but it's really not.  I shared how to make it in a recent video seen here.  Plus I have a free project sheet for you as well!  Download Diagonal Z-fold card

    I textured the Lost Lagoon layer with either the 3D Basics folders or the Painted Texture 3D folder.  

    My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and White with a bit of Vellum added with the die-cut leaf (Gorgeously Made dies).  The other sprig and leaf are from the Bough punch (temporarily out of stock). 

    Below is the template I made.  You start out with an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock.  Make a mark at 3" down from the upper right and 3" up from the lower left.  Cut in half on the diagonal.  

    Then place the flat side of the card stock on your paper trimmer or scoring board and score at 4 1/4" and 8".  That's it!  

    To create the diagonal layers for each area you start with full rectangles like a normal card and cut off the upper portion at an angle. Measurements are given in the project sheet above.  

    I've used the Inked & Tiled stamp set a lot; I love the images and the greetings fit in the Double Oval punch perfectly! 

    The designer paper is the Inked Botanicals seen here.

  • Join me for a Free Fun Fold card class – Live tonight!


    We're making this neat Tuck & Fold 'Peek-a-Boo' card tonight on my Facebook Page here.  It starts at 7:30 pm CT Monday evening.  

    I encourage my followers to prep their pieces ahead of time and create along with me on the Live video. 

    You'll need the following pieces & tools:

    • Designer paper 6 X 6". Score it at 1 1/2" on all 4 sides.  Cut off all 4 corners. 
    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • Front & inside layers 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Greeting for front
    • White layer inside the DSP fold – 2 3/4" square 
    • Embellishments, adhesive, stamps & ink as desired 

    I'm using a brand new designer paper from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  It's called Garden Walk. It comes in 6 X 6" size – 48 sheets – 6 each of 6 designs.  

    **I'll be offering a designer paper share later this week; it includes eighty 6 X 6" pieces of our newest, beautiful designer papers – all for $37 including shipping!  Let me know if you want in on this; I'm taking names now and can invoice you after Wednesday.  

    Here's the inside view:  I saved 3 of the 4 cut off corners to create a unique way to add my greeting.  

    My card base is Calypso Coral as well as the ink. The stamps are both from a new set called So Sincere.  It's one of my very favorites in the Holiday catalog! 

    I hope you join me tomorrow night; Monday, August 28th at 7 pm CT here.  If you aren't on Facebook the video will be uploaded to my YouTube channel here. 

    Oh; did you spy the new embossing folder? It's called Distressed Tile; it is in the upcoming Holiday catalog.  

    The 'Celebrate' die-cut is from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.

  • AMAZING Gone Fishing Vest card


    We were all amazed at Jacki's swap card; look at this!!

    Our theme was to make a card without a greeting on it.  What a huge 'WOW' card she made!  

    She used Night of Navy, Real Red, Silver foil (online exclusive) and some Countryside Inn DSP for the pockets and inside trim. 

    Her card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" tall. It's scored 2 1/8" from each edge. She used circle dies to cut the arm holes and scored the collar to fold it back.  She also trimmed the bottom at angles and sponged the edges with Navy ink to give it depth. 

    I'm not sure how she cut the pockets.  But I know I would create one I'm happy with and then use it as a template to cut the rest.  She made over 10 of these; it took her many evenings to make them all.  Those of us lucky enough to get one sure appreciate it!!

    I am wondering how many people will be casing this incredible card….  

    All of the extra items in the pockets are from the Gone Fishing bundle; it has so many fabulous die-cuts in it.  See it here.
