Have you ever made a double Z-fold card?  They look difficult but honestly they are quite simple!  I shared how in last week's video tutorial. I also have a free printable project sheet for you!

I featured the new Meandering Meadows 6" designer series paper from the Online Exclusives. It's stunning with 12 different watercolor scenes!

I love how the printed strip on the bottom has the colorful stream; it matches the DSP on the card perfectly!  I sure do love this new paper!  I will be featuring it in a December card kit to go. And these cards may be included!

At first I was going to leave it quite simple on the left front, then I thought of the Bough punch and tried that.  I liked it so I added it to both cards which you can see below.

I used Balmy Blue for both card layers and added Garden Green and a bit of Highland Heather with the punches. 

It's hard to tell but I used two different sheets of this pretty designer paper here.  One for the left two panels and another for the large one on the right. Then I was able to trim the bottom DSP layer off and use it for the 1" strips on the bottom layers. A perfect match!

You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below.  It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.

  • Sponge Brayer on an embossing folder? Cool effect!

    Have you ever used a sponge brayer?  Did you even know we carry them?  We do!  On page 181 of the annual catalog. Click here to see them. 

     

    Valentines brayer card Save

    I used Pool Party ink and the sponge brayer to add ink to the flat side of the Parisian Flourish embossing folder seen here.  Then I inserted my card stock or envelope flap into the folder and ran it through the machine.  Super easy!  Then just rinse the ink off your embossing folder when you're done.  Our ink colors are water based so it comes off easily. 

    Click below to watch the video; it's at the end of this one below:

    I used another 'stitched heart' on the front of this card using the Heart Doilies seen here. The few die-cuts are from the Stitched Be Mine set of dies in the annual catalog. See those here.

    I shared how to do this stitched heart doily in a previous FB live video.  Click here to see it.  It took me about 8 minutes to stitch and I do NOT stitch by hand much at all. Maybe once a year.  That should tell you it's easy!

  • Fancy Fold Accordion Heart Doilies!

    I dreamed of doing this fun accordion fold with the Heart Doilies in my sleep.  I rarely do that!  Do you?  

    Acordion style doilies Save

    I shared how in this week's Facebook Live yesterday.  My FB Live's are usually on Tuesdays at 11 am but I was out of town so switched to Wednesday this week.  It's so simple!  And you could do this with many of our dies too!  Click below to see it.

    I also traced the flap of my envelope onto the From My Heart specialty designer paper to make this card extra, extra special!  

    Accordian cards Save

    Details:

    • The pretty soft scallops on the edge of the DSP are from the new Braided Border punch.  I did one length of it and cut it in half for both cards. 
    • The greeting is stamped on a Timeless Label punch and added to another Heart Doily.  The stamps are from the Heart to Heart stamp set seen here. 
    • I used the new sparkly Faceted Gems from the From My Heart Suite.  See them here
    • You get 40 Heart doilies in one package for $5.50; a great deal at .14 cents each.

    Cutting:

    • I cut a strip of the From My Heart designer paper at 3" X 12" and cut that into two pieces 3" X 5 1/2" long.  The hearts are the reverse side of the pretty foil double sided designer paper on the envelope.  When you use these measurements you can get 8 cards from one sheet!  It's a great way to use up the designer paper you may be 'hoarding'. 
    • The white layer inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; my favorite size for inside cards as you can get 5 from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11".  

    I folded each doily in half and glued each one to the next just on the outer curve.   I adhered the folded doilies to the card with either Tombo liquid adhesive or Tear & Tape; it's super strong!

  • The Gang’s All Meer cute window card

    This stamp set was one of the top free choices at my New Catalog Launch party earlier this month.  People are loving it!

    The Gangs all Meer. Save

    I chose to create a window card to highlight these cute critters.  We stamped them in Early Espresso and colored in with Crumb Cake blends markers. 

    **Did you know that when stamping an image you plan to color with our Blends markers you can use any color of our Classic ink pads?  They are water based and the markers are alcohol based.  

    See the stamp set here.  It's a free choice you receive for any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. This lasts through March.
