My Team held a swap featuring Designer Paper and this is the card I created for it.

I loved the 'Inked Folder' technique so much I wanted to feature it on my card.  You can see how it's done in the video here.  And more examples featuring this Pretty Flowers embossing folder here.  

This embossing folder is a free gift to anyone who places an online order over $50 in June. *See it here.

I took the easy way out when I stamped my greetings.  Here are the steps for perfect stamping using the Stamparatus:

  1. I die-cut a bunch of the White labels (from the Hippo & Friends dies) first. 
  2. Then I placed the frame left over from die-cutting on my Stamparatus. 
  3. Lay your clean stamp on the label, positioning it in place. 
  4. Close the clear plate to 'grab' the stamp. 
  5. Ink the stamp and close the plate to stamp. 
  6. Repeat!

  • What is a ‘Live Edge’ card? Check it out and the video tutorial too

    You may have heard of 'Live Edge' tables; but have you ever heard of a 'live edge' card?  Well that's what I'm calling this technique! 

    Happiest Day dragonlies Save

    I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base.  I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!  

    The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results.  See the set here.

    Here's how I stamped the inside:

    Products used:

    • Happiest Day stamp set
    • Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
    • Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP

    I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper.  I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them. 

    Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!

  • Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look

    On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product.  It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here. Here's one of the cards I made: 

    Happiest Day glimmer stripes Save

    I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal.  See it here.  The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies. 

    Here's how I stamped the inside.  

    Happiest Day glimmer stripes Save

    For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).

    The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here.

    I did not make a project sheet for this card since it's so simple. 

    Here are the measurements:

    • White card base – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", White deckled rectangle die-cut 2 5/8" X 3 7/8", circle die-cut1 5/8"
    • Black – 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
    • Glimmer paper strips – 5 1/4" X 3/8"

    Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with a special edge technique and a few other ideas as well.
