Cute swaps with the Perfect Pairs

Today I'm sharing a few card swaps made by gals in a long distance swap. 

First is a card made by Selene Kempton. She is someone I've recently become friends with and I cannot say enough about her huge heart and fun personality.

I love her color choices of Petal Pink with Crumb Cake, White & Early Espresso.  Cute layout too!  Her cards are often among my favorites.  The textured background is made with the Dashing Designs embossing folder seen here.

This next cute card was made by Kay Cogbill.

She used the Marbled Elegance specialty DSP for the background and as a layer under her main image. 

You can find this adorable Perfect Pairs stamp set here.  It's in our online exclusives but that just means it's not seen in any printed catalog. Anyone can order these items!

Here's another sample seen online in the SU store. Did you know that when you're looking at our product you can find multiple ideas from their samples?

I'll share more card swaps tomorrow.

• Retro style circles layout; super easy! Catch the Live video tonight!

  November 9, 2020

  ---

  Tonight at 7:30 pm Central Time I'm sharing how to make these retro style circle cards on Facebook Live.  Click here to join me.   You can also see this video below!

  Save

  Basically you need three sizes of circle dies or punches for the start of this layout.  Cut them in half and layer together with the edges meeting on one side. Adhere and add a long greeting between the two. 

  Watch how on my FB Live replay!

  Measurements:

  • 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
  • 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" Whisper White; the greeting strip is about 5" long and either 1/2" or 3/4" wide depending on your greeting image.
  • 1" X 5 1/2" horizontal strip
  • Circles from the Stitched Shapes dies are the largest three circles. 

  You'll want ink, stamps and embellishments that coordinate with your Designer Paper.  Remember you could use card stock instead of DSP.

• Curvy Christmas & the Postage Punch

  November 6, 2020

  ---

  Check out this easy card using the new Curvy Christmas stamp set and the Postage Punch!  

  Save

  It's super simple! Here's how I made it:

  1. Stamp the curvy trees image on the White CS using Shaded Spruce ink.  Color the trees with a Light Shaded Spruce Blends marker.  Add a tiny star using Cherry Cobbler ink on one tree. Adhere it to the Cherry Cobbler layer and to the main card.
  2. Punch out three pieces of Classic Christmas designer paper with the Postage Punch seen here.  Adhere to the White CS. 
  3. Stamp the greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink on a 1/2" strip of White CS.  Punch the ends with the Banners Pick a Punch. Add it to the card with mini dimensionals. 
  4. Finish with a few Holiday rhinestones. 

  You can see this stamp set here; it's only available through January 4th.  And the Classic Christmas Designer Paper is here while supplies last. 

  Remember that everyone who orders any of these products or places an online order with me in November will receive a free 22 project PDF tutorial featuring the Curvy Celebration products!

• Gift Wrapped Box Fold Card with video

  November 5, 2020

  ---

  Check out this cute Christmas card we made at my October Card Clubs!  It's a box fold card; a super cute but easy fun fold. 

  Save

  The colors are Real Red with Granny Apple Green & White. The dies on the front are the Stitched Shapes and Hippos & Friends.

  It even folds flat for mailing!  As you can see the back is similar to the front; leaving some space to write or sign the card.  

  I used the Gift Wrapped punch bundle from the Holiday catalog.  You can see it here.
