CUTE Rain or Shine fun-fold card kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial option


When I saw the Rain or Shine specialty DSP I liked it but I didn't know I'd LOVE it until I played with it this weekend.  I thought it would be mostly for kids with cute animals (critters I call them) but it's so much more!  Each page of the designer paper has glossy accents on one side including rain, flowers, critters and clouds.  It's utterly charming! 

I decided that each card in this kit would be a fancy fold; some are simple and others a bit 'fancy' but they are easy to achieve with my tutorial.  Look at these!

The colors are both soft & bright – I chose to focus on Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive & Mango Melody.  A super fun and unique mix. 

This pre-cut kit to go includes the 10 pre-cut cards & all punched or die-cut elements, 1/2 pkg of the Rain or Shine specialty DSP, a share of White crinkled ribbon and Flat Adhesive-backed pearls. The PDF tutorial is free with the kit!  That's $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28. Get your kit here.   If you'd prefer the PDF tutorial only click here.  It's $15.  

Opt in by March 19th to get the pre-cut kit.  After that date I'll order the product and cut out the kits.  They will be mailed out via Priority Mail at the end of March, barring any back orders. *The PDF tutorial is sent to you via email from my Shop. 


You will need a paper trimmer (to cut your new DSP), adhesives, greeting images and Olive, Flirty Flamingo & Balmy blue ink pads.  I used the Playing in the Rain & Framed Occasions stamp sets for greetings but you can substitute others if needed. 

Add on the Playing in the Rain stamp set or bundle at 10% off!  Message me here for that option and I'll send you an invoice for it all. 

I have another new kit to go available in March – the Hello, Irresistible card kit.  See that here.   Get both and save $$. *Add on any other card kit with it and save on shipping costs!  Go here to see them all.  


*My monthly subscribers will receive the Hello, Irresistible card kit unless they switch to the Rain or Shine kit.

  • Last of the amazing swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team; Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!


    Today's post features the rest of the Team swaps.  Our theme was Black & White with a 'POP' of color.  I love this theme so much; adding a bit of Black on a card provides a wonderful contrast to other colors and attracts the eye. 

    The first card was made by Candace; she used the Kite Delight stamp set along with Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & So Saffron.  See the set here. 

    She stamped her background and then stamped and fussy cut the kits separately to pop them up on the card.  Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on the Black CS strip.  Beautiful! 

    Tammi made the next one featuring the happy color combo of Magenta Madness & a bit of Granny Apple Green.  

    The stamped images are from Hello Ladybug; after stamping on the die-cut scalloped circle she used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

    The Black & White patterned paper is from the Pattern Party DSP – a host paper you can get FREE with host benefits.  Once your order goes over the $150 mark you can choose free product!  This amazing pack of paper has 40 12 X 12" sheets and is just $18. See it here. 

    Marilyn made this pretty card using Daffodil Delight.  

    She die-cut the flower 'window' from the White 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut (largest one in the set) to reveal the dotted designer paper underneath.  This die is from the Meadow dies seen here.  The polka dot DSP is also Pattern Party host paper.

    She colored the white seam binding ribbon yellow with a Daffodil Blends marker. Her greeting is from the Sharing Sunshine stamp set. 

    The greeting is on a 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut too.  These dies are retiring!  I'm so sad; they are one of my favorite 'go to' dies for labels and layers.  See them here. 

    Next is a fun fold card made by Jacki using a striking pop of Red for this wedding card. 

    The greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set in the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.  Again her DSP is the host Pattern Party; can you tell we love this pack!!?  The hearts are both punches in the Annual Catalog.  They are returning in the new annual catalog.  

    Her measurements are:

    • Black card base 5 1/2" X 11", scored at 1 1/4", 3 3/8", 7 5/8" & 9 3/4"
    • DSP front dots – 2 pieces at 1" X 5 1/4", front hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • White layers under dots – 2 pieces 1 1/8" X 5 3/8", under hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 3/8", White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Black belly band 1" X 9 1/2" 

    Next is a Tracey's card featuring the pretty In Color of Polished Pink. 

    She used the Artistic dies for the beautiful Black die-cut. She stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set under the die-cuts for a neat watercolor look.  The stamp & dies will be returning in the new catalog but they will not be in a bundle at 10% off then.  

    Her White layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder from the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.

  • Matchbook Cards on tonight’s FB Live! An easy fun fold showing off your DSP


    We made these neat fun fold 'matchbook' cards on Facebook Live last week.  They're so neat and really show off your DSP.  

    Does it remind you of the old fashioned books of matches?  See how it tucks in to the bottom flap?  

    I am featuring the Flowering Tulips stamp set & Flowering Fields designer series paper here.  It's so pretty and spring-like.  

    The Live video is at 7:30 pm CT here on my Facebook page. If you aren't following me yet, be sure to do that so you don't miss the 6 videos I do each month.

    Here's a photo of them laying flat.  My colors include Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Old Olive on the left card.  The card on the right is Fresh Freesia, Rich Razzleberry & Shaded Spruce.  

    The dies for the greetings are the Layering Circles, Tasteful Labels and Beautiful Shapes dies.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 6 1/2" scored at 5 1/2"
