Dainty Delight swap with a few new colors!


Here's my swap for our Flowerbug's 'Fancy Border' theme.  I chose to use the returning color 'Berry Burst' with Black & White.  

The embossing folder is called Painted Texture 3D; you can see it here.

Tip: Need thread or twine to add to your card? I used thread from our White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon under my greeting.  I simply pulled one thread from the ribbon end, smoothed it out with my fingers, and would it into a circle. 

The flower & leaves die-cuts are from the Dainty Delight bundle; as well as the pretty greeting.  See it here.  The stamp set & dies are carrying over into the new Annual Catalog however they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.  

I used two NEW products on this card.  Can you spot them?  

New items: 

  1. A few flowers are in one of our newest In Colors – Moody Mauve. 
  2. The greeting die-cut is from the new Timeless Arrangements. 

See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  I'm so glad they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

  • Merriest Moments ‘5 at a time’ cards with free templates


    Here's another set of my '5 at a time' cards I shared yesterday here.  I used the Merriest Moments stamp set. This stamp set is carrying over to next year's Holiday catalog along with the dies & Hybrid embossing folder but they will not longer be in a bundle at 10% off.

    See the carry over list here.  And the retiring or Last Chance list here  

    My colors include Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & White.  I love the unusual addition of the Sahara Sand.  I chose it to blend in softly instead of another attention grabber. 

    See the texture?  After I stamped I used the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder before layering the pieces and finishing the cards. I used the Double Oval punch here. 

    If you missed yesterday's post I shared these '5 at a time' cards on a recent FB Live video seen here.  I created two templates that layer each other for quick set of 5 A2 sized finished cards.  And they sized perfectly for very little waste. 

    Below is how the White card stock is stamped.  Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? This keeps the cards from being too busy. 

    Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines (using the measurements on the template) leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. Then after stamping I can cut on the scored lines. 

    Below are the templates.  Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.  


    As you can see these templates have very little waste. 

    I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

  • My ‘5 at a time’ card templates are addicting!


    I'm so excite to share this fun & unique idea!  I created two templates that help you make 5 cards at a time.  It's addicting & you'll be looking at your stamps in a whole new way!  

    I shared this on last week's Facebook Live and it was a hit!  It's so fun to do. 

    For these cards I used the Merry Snowflakes stamp set (seen here) & Pool Party, Bermuda Bay & Highland Heather inks. The card stock is White, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana. If you follow me you know these are some of my favorite colors! They're perfect for snowflakes. 

    Below are the templates.  Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.  For these cards I stamped before I cut but you can certainly cut your pieces first if you'd like to. 


    As you can see these templates have very little waste. 

    Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. 

    And here is how the White card stock is stamped. (I forgot to take a photo before I cut and layered them.)

    Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? Basically you're stamping down the middle and on each of the lines. This keeps the cards from being too busy. 

    I added a few iridescent Wonderful snowflakes (seen here) to some of them; I cannot get enough of these!  They're such a great size & value – you get 24 for $6. 

    I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates. 

    Below is the video so you can see how it's done.

    I'm also sharing this amazing card we made at my November card clubs. I cased it from my friend Susie Wood; she generously shared her idea and card with me. You can see more of her work here on her blog. 

    Isn't it adorable?!  I just loved her colors & design and had to case it almost exactly!  And guess what?!  The Penguin Place bundle is back in stock!!  See it here online; it will not return as a bundle at 10% off after this catalog period.

    In addition to the Penguin Place bundle I used the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper (retiring), Circles Collection dies & Black glitter paper (retiring).

    The next two photos show the box inside the fold.  There's also a flap you attach your circles to.  See the measurements below.  The video will help you the most though! 


    Here's how it looks from the side:



    Measurements:

    • Black – card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2", Black scalloped circle 2 3/4", plus a 2" X 4 1/2" strip, scored every inch for the flip box & a 3/4" X 2" strip for the flip part
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4", White circle 2 1/3"
      Heartwarming Hugs DSP 1 1/2" X 4"
      Red circle 2 7/8"

    Here's the video for this card; I hope you watch it and feel comfortable enough to try making one.
