Double Easel fun fold card with video & free project sheet

I shared this neat fun fold on last week's Live video.  I record them on Facebook Live then upload to YouTube so you can view them either place.

My color combination is Summer Splash with Black & White.  The new Botanical Textures DSP inspired this fun fold card. 

I love how the three butterflies die-cut is placed on 3 Black circles; they would have been lost if placed directly on the DSP. 

We made this project at last week's Team gathering.  They loved it!

• Multiple ideas for the new Meandering Meadows DSP; with free project sheet & video

  November 13, 2023

  ---

  Last week's Live video featured the new and stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper. I shared 4 great ways to use it from quite simple to a special fun fold card. This designer paper is a new release among our Online Exclusives. There are lots of new products out this week; see them all here. 

  Today I'm sharing this card; a new way to feature both sides of your designer paper.

  See how the upper left and lower right corners are flipped?  I simply marked the edges at 2 1/2" and cut off each corner.  Then flipped it over to show the opposite side of the designer paper.  

  Next add a thin strip of coordinating Garden Green card stock.

  The second card above is made with Balmy Blue. The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; a go to favorite of mine.  The greeting die-cut on the left is the 'All That' dies and the right is the Lasting Label punch.

• A gorgeous Handcrafted Ornaments card with video & free project sheet!

  November 10, 2023

     Look at this beautiful card made with the Handcrafted Elements dies!

  Save

  These dies are seen in our 2023 Holiday catalog or online here.  There are two dies in the set that create that pretty, layered ornament.

  I chose to use Starry Sky & Orchid Oasis along with the Brushed Gold cards. For the stamped bough image under the banner, I used Wild Wheat ink, stamped off once.  It's surprisingly close to gold! 

  This card is one we made at my October Card Clubs; they could choose their favorite greeting and also the color of bow on the ornament.  

  Save

  I used the Distressed Tile 3d embossing folder seen here.

  Look at the stunning golden shine on this card!

  I shared a second card made with the other half of the Brushed Gold card base in the video here.  I hope you watch it! I will share the details on that card tomorrow.
