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!

• Life is Beautiful with So Much Happy? Yes!

  October 27, 2020

  ---

  Here are two more cards I created on a Facebook Live for Demonstrators last week.  It was such an honor to be asked to present cards highlighting my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful.  

  Unfortunately I cannot share the video but I can share the projects! 

  Save

  Which one do you prefer?  Blues & purples or rainbow colors? Here they are separately:

  I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party and stamped the Bokeh dots image. 

  Then I added the Happy die-cut across it at an angle.  I also cut a separate White CS strip to place under the Happy die-cut.  The 'to celebrate you' is from the So Much Happy stamp set stamped on a die-cut from the Ornate Frames dies.

  Have you decided on your favorite yet?  

  I'll be sharing another card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set tomorrow.  Do you have yours yet?  If not go here to order!
