Curtain fun fold card with video & free project sheet

I shared this neat curtain fold card on a video last week.  If you missed it click here to see it.  Or slide down a bit.  

Save

I chose a few new products from the Spring catalog including the wonderful With You in Mind stamp set & Timeless Plaid designer series paper.  The colors include Lost Lagoon with Pebbled Path & White.  

If you haven't made a curtain fold yet they're quite easy if you get the scoring correct.  I got these measurements from my friend Susie Wood.  It's a 6" X 3" piece of DSP scored at 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 4 1/4" & 4 3/4". I then made a mark on the far right down 1" and cut off the bottom right corner from the first score-line on the bottom to the upper right.

I made a few of these and decided to try stamping the Lost Lagoon layer instead of texturing it with the Plaid 3D embossing folder (right card).  Which do you prefer?

The greetings are stamped on a die-cut from the Greetings of the Season dies seen here.  It's a good time to order those large items like dies because you can earn free products during Sale-a-Bration.

I created a free project sheet for this card.  I recommend saving my project sheets in a folder or binder for easy card layout ideas.  *Click on the following link to download or print it.  Download With you in Mind Curtain fold

The inside greeting is from the Mixed Labels stamp set.

• Another Positive thoughts card; in a unique color combination

  January 14, 2020

  ---

  I have no idea where I came up with this color combination.  I started out with the Petal Pink because I wanted to use the gorgeous champagne edged ribbon.  Maybe I was avoiding green; but the Basic Gray looks beautiful with the Petal Pink!  

  Save

  The Positive Thoughts stamp set is so easy to play with; the images are soft yet detailed which is totally my style. That embossing folder is called 'Coastal Weave'.  It's a free gift to everyone who places an online order over $65 this month (detailed below). 

  AND, they are coming out with dies to coordinate with this stamp set in February!  I'm so excited about them.  It includes 11 dies for each of the images in the set plus more!  A stitched rectangle, a detailed edgelit and more botanical images.  You'll love them!  They will be for purchase; they're not part of Sale-a-Bration.

  Besides the pretty images the greetings put me over the edge to buy it.  I know I'll use them a lot.

  Yesterday I shared one version of this card and here is the other.  I had extra background pieces stamped so I tried something else.

  I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.  

  And here is the first version:  Which do you prefer?  This (above) or that (below)?

  Here is the new So Sentimental bundle; my favorite bundle in the entire new catalog!  See them here.

• Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!

  January 10, 2020

  ---

  This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away!  Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards. 

  Save

  I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.

  This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in.  I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration. 

  I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog!  See them here.

  Save

  I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.
