Double-Decker fun fold card with video tutorial and free project sheet

Here's the second card we made at my September card clubs. It's a 'Double-Decker' fun fold card. 

Save

It features the pretty All About Autumn specialty paper that is so popular it's been hard to keep in stock! It should be back around the middle of October.  See it here.  

Save

For the circle die-cuts I chose to use both Stylish Shapes for the Vanilla circles and Deckled circle dies for the Early Espresso circle.  The die-cuts in Vanilla & Copper Clay are from the Magical Meadow dies.

The greetings are from one of my favorite stamp sets in the Holiday catalog – So Sincere.

A double-decker card is where the center layer is popped up by a small box attached to the inside, back of the card like this.

Save

You need to adhere the back layer before adding this box. Then you top it with your center layer; for my version it's a piece of designer paper.

Save

I added a second circle to the inside designer paper layer for signing.  But one of my smart customers thought of adding it to the back so it doesn't cover up any of the pretty paper. A great idea!

• Petal Park with Kind & Sincere and a masked background technique with video tutorial

  This is the other card I shared on my Stamp with Me Live on Monday evening.  You can see it here on my YouTube Channel now.  

  I used post-it notes and a Blending Brush to achieve this soft line of color and then stamped my flowers and dotted image around it.  I love the effect!

  Save

  I used a pretty color combination of Coastal Cabana with Night of Navy.  What do you think of these together?

  I've created quite a few cards by combining these two stamp sets together.  I'm not sure why; they seem to pair up so easily. 

  Save

  I did stamp a set of flowers on a separate piece of White card stock and punched them out so I could curl the petals and pop them up. I like to add more dimension to my cards this way.  

  I also did the same with my smaller greeting, stamping it on a scrap of Coastal Cabana to add below the 'Thanks'.

• Get 95 sheets of New Spring Catalog Designer Paper in my DSP paper share!

  January 3, 2023

  ---

  Many people like to see (& feel) the designer papers in person and it's so nice to have a sample of each one.  This way you know if you want to order full packs or not.  Plus it's great to have some of each so you can participate in challenges, swaps or just case/copy a cute sample you see online.  

  In my Spring Catalog designer paper share you'll receive 95 sheets of every single pack available!  They're in 6 X 6" size and it's just $34 (plus shipping if needed).  

  Here's the link to opt in via my Shop.  

  Save

  There are 14 different packs including 8 specialty papers like shimmer, vellum, pearl and foiled. 

  If you'd like to earn a Sale-a-Bration item with this order, adding on $32 in products will be enough for a free $50 choice or $72 for a $100 choice.  *12" papers may need to be cut into 6 X 12" size to fit in the package.

  Once each share is filled (I need 8 people) I will order the designer paper.  Then it takes 7-10 days for it to arrive to me for cutting and packaging. So expect your paper share to take at least 2 weeks to arrive.   

  Here's the link to get the designer paper share.  Remember this is limited and likely to last through January only.

• Masked Blending Technique; join me Live tonight!

  January 2, 2023

  ---

  Happy New Year!!!

  ~~~

  Tonight I'm sharing the Masked Blending technique on FB Live.  It's at 7:30 pm here on FB.  It will also be shared on my YouTube channel afterwards.  

  Each month (usually on the last Monday) I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my FB page.  I post the project ahead of time so those who want to can prepare and create along with me.  

  Tonight we're playing with masking & blending brushes to create cards like these:  

  Save

  I chose to use long post-it notes to 'mask' off the area I want to add color to.  I used Coastal Cabana ink and our Blending Brushes.  You can get an incredibly smooth look with these brushes.  I'll share my favorite tips on using them in the video.  

  The stamp sets are all new in either the upcoming Spring or Sale-a-Bration catalogs. These catalogs go live on January 5th. 

  The card below is made with the Beautifully Happy stamp set.  It's a 2-step set with 17 stamps in it.  It's free with a $100 order from January 5 – February 28th. 

  Save

  My colors include Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape & Fresh Freesia.

  I did stamp the large flower an extra time and fussy cut it so I could pop it up for added dimension.  

  Join me on Facebook here tonight at 7:30 pm CT or watch it later on my YouTube Channel here.
