Check out these Just Kiddin’ Suite cards by our Artist of the Month!


Today I'm sharing multiple cards made by Marla – our February Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team.  She chose to feature the Just Kiddin' suite seen here.

This card was cased from Lisa Curcio and is called a 3 tiered easel card.  It's a neat fun fold card.   

The front two panels are folded down in the photo above so you can see the back panel of the 3 tiers. Very clever!  

She used one of the scenes in the DSP for her background and added the girl, ball, pennants, stool and greeting!

This is a mini slimline card. I believe she stamped the pillows but the rest are cut from the DSP or die-cut with the dies in the bundle. 

Here she added the kids, a greeting and the 'block' castle to the Just Kiddin' DSP scene. 

ON the card above she scored the back of her card base in half (2 3/4") and added the scene and the greeting strip in front with extra scored ends that create a curved element. That pretty purple glimmer paper is from our Online Exclusives.  So cool! 

This scene is made with the dies in the Just Kiddin' bundle seen here and of course the little girl (fussy cut) from the DSP. 

Adding the kids with Dimensionals completes the scene. I love how she let the Just Kiddin' DSP do the work of the background!


This gatefold card opens up to reveal a full scene! Don't yo love the little baby peeking out!?

The greeting is on one layer and the kits are on another layer; both have a double score line that makes them pop up slightly. 

 

Didn't she do an incredible job showcasing the Just Kiddin' suite?!  Great job Marla!!

  • Create a mountain scene with the In the Grove bundle; video & free project sheet too!


    I shared this card on last week's Live video. I made a bunch of them for an online swap I participated in.  I just love creating a scene on my cards!  

    It features the In the Grove bundle; from the new Annual Catalog.  You can see it here.  

    My colors include Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce and the new Shy Shamrock. 

    Tips: I heat embossed the clouds in clear embossing on the White layer; then used a blending brush with Balmy Blue ink over it for the sky. When you do this I recommend wiping off the excess ink with a slightly damp tissue or cloth. That removes the blue ink from the embossed clouds. 

    That pretty mountain image is all one stamp! One color of ink and one stamp. I stamped the green trees multiple times in Shaded Spruce ink, varying the height each time.  

    I hope you like it! Be sure to watch the video below to see how quickly it comes together.

  • Thoughtful Journey designer paper paired with In The Grove for stunning results!


    I shared this beautiful card on last week's Live video. 

    It features a few new products in the 1024-25 Annual Catalog;

    This Thoughtful Journey designer paper is incredible! Many people love the watercolor look of this type of scenic paper.

    To me it seems the perfect choice for thinking of you, sympathy or get well cards.  

    I made a few of these cards with the Lily Pond Lane designer paper too.  You can see both in the photo below:

    Here's a free printable project sheet for you: Download In the Grove scene

    My card bases are Misty Moonlight and the White birch tree die-cut is approximately 5" X 3 3/4"; as is the designer paper under it.  See the Lily Pond Lane designer paper here. 

    I think these scenic cards are fabulous.  Those birch tree die-cuts sure make quick but beautiful cards!

  • A WOW fun fold card that has to be the easiest ever!


    If you are looking for a great idea for designer papers that create a scene this layout is it!  

    Start with a card base of 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then cut a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of designer paper and trim off the right side at 3/4". Add that strip to the left side of your card base and the larger half to the left folded side. 

    Isn't that the best & most simple layout?!  Think of the many cards you could make with this design. 

    The card features the stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper pack.  This paper can be found here in our Online Exclusives – but is currently unavailable until later May.

    I wouldn't wait too long to order this DSP; when they run out they don't always re-order and then it's gone for good.  That's how the Online Exclusive products work.  

    Here's an inside view: 

    If you'd like to have a project sheet with measurements, photos and products used, here you go. Here is the free project sheet for this super simple but gorgeous card. Download April Club Perennial Postage scene

    There are so many beautiful scenes in this pack of paper and most sheets coordinate with our Starry Sky, Balmy Blue or Shaded Spruce cardstock. *Starry Sky has retired now; I will miss this pretty blue color.

    I featured the Perennial Postage bundle for both the greetings and the label die-cut.

     The dies did carry over into the new catalog but the stamp set did not and is retired now.  The dies are currently out of stock but should be available in about 2 weeks; around May 13th. 

     

    I hope you like this simple but beautiful card.  It's perfect when you need a quick but fabulous card design.
