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. 

Save

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!

• Sunshiny Happiest Day card with measurements plus more ideas in the video

  October 17, 2024

  ---

  I had a blast creating with the Happiest Day stamp set. I shared two more cards in my previous blog posts. 

  Today's project is what I'm calling a 'Sunshiny' card. 

  Save

  I chose my color scheme from the Full of Life designer paper I used on the background – Petunia Pop, Balmy blue & Summer Sun.  Of course I added Black for the contrast I like.  

  I thought the Postage Dies were a great way to layer the elements here.  Below is the inside view of this card:

  I added a zig-zag of the Iridescent Striped ribbon under the greeting for the 'glitter' effect. 

  See this adorable Happiest Day stamp set here.

• What is a ‘Live Edge’ card? Check it out and the video tutorial too

  October 15, 2024

  ---

  You may have heard of 'Live Edge' tables; but have you ever heard of a 'live edge' card?  Well that's what I'm calling this technique! 

  Save

  I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base.  I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!  

  The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results.  See the set here.

  Save

  Here's how I stamped the inside: 

  Save

  Products used:

  • Happiest Day stamp set
  • Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
  • Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP

  I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper.  I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them. 

  Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!

  Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with an easy addition of glimmer strips and a few other ideas as well.
