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!

• Beautiful Fall card swaps!

  October 5, 2021

  ---

  Look at these stunning swaps made by my Team.  Our theme for September's swap was autumn cards. 

  Annette created this first one using a innovative sponging technique

  I'm sure you cannot guess how she did this …..! 

  It features the Welcoming Woods stamp set seen here. She used a variety of colors like Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Misty Moonlight.  

  Here's how she did it: She gathered up a sheet of plastic wrap and dabbed it in ink a few times.  Then she dabbed it horizontally across her stamped image piece.  With each color change, she re-rolled the plastic wrap & blended the previous one a bit to achieve a beautiful sunset look.

  She added some of the leaves from the stamp set to the inside as well.

• Gorgeous Leaves paired with the Timber embossing folder

  October 1, 2021

  ---

  Today I get to share two cards made by my talented Team members who used the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves bundle seen here.  I shared a bunch earlier this week as well. Click here to see them. 

  First is a beautiful card made by Marilyn.  Her colors include Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Crushed Curry. 

  Save

  It's hard to see in this photo but after she stamped the background she ran it through the die-cutting machine with the Timber embossing folder.  

  Her die-cut leaves are darker than the normal hues since she sponged the corresponding color over each one.  Neat effect! 

  Measurements: 

  • Crumb Cake 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5" & Stitched So Sweetly die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 5/8"
  • Vanilla 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" & 2 1/8" X 3 1/4"

  Next is a lovely card made by Deloris. She also used the Timber embossing folder seen here. 

  She also added a strip of the Cork specialty paper.  This paper can be found in the Holiday catalog on page 55.  It sure adds a neat touch to autumn or men's cards! 

  Save

  Her colors include Early Espresso, Cajun Craze & Bumblebee. 

  Measurements:

  • Early Espresso card 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
  • Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5"
  • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
  • Cork 1" X 4 1/2"
  • Bumblebee 1/4" X 4 1/2" strip
