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!   

The Black & White striped Designer Paper is from the Pattern Party host pack seen here.  It's free with Hostess Rewards.  How do you get host rewards?  If your order is over $150 you earn free product and can choose from anything in the catalog including the items on pages 170-171 which are marked down just for host rewards!

    Have you ever made a double Z-fold card?  They look difficult but honestly they are quite simple!  I shared how in last week's video tutorial. I also have a free printable project sheet for you!

    I featured the new Meandering Meadows 6" designer series paper from the Online Exclusives. It's stunning with 12 different watercolor scenes!  

    I love how the printed strip on the bottom has the colorful stream; it matches the DSP on the card perfectly!  I sure do love this new paper!  I will be featuring it in a December card kit to go. And these cards may be included! 

    At first I was going to leave it quite simple on the left front, then I thought of the Bough punch and tried that.  I liked it so I added it to both cards which you can see below.

    *Click here to download or print the free project sheet for these cards. Download Meandering Meadows Z-fold card They include the measurements, supplies, step by step directions and photos.  

    I used Balmy Blue for both card layers and added Garden Green and a bit of Highland Heather with the punches. 

    It's hard to tell but I used two different sheets of this pretty designer paper here.  One for the left two panels and another for the large one on the right. Then I was able to trim the bottom DSP layer off and use it for the 1" strips on the bottom layers. A perfect match! 

    You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below.  It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.

  • Multiple ideas for the new Meandering Meadows DSP; with free project sheet & video


    Last week's Live video featured the new and stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper. I shared 4 great ways to use it from quite simple to a special fun fold card. This designer paper is a new release among our Online Exclusives. There are lots of new products out this week; see them all here. 

    Today I'm sharing this card; a new way to feature both sides of your designer paper.

    See how the upper left and lower right corners are flipped?  I simply marked the edges at 2 1/2" and cut off each corner.  Then flipped it over to show the opposite side of the designer paper.  

    Next add a thin strip of coordinating Garden Green card stock.   

    The second card above is made with Balmy Blue. The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; a go to favorite of mine.  The greeting die-cut on the left is the 'All That' dies and the right is the Lasting Label punch.
