Three neat cards with the Dragonfly Garden bundle including a Faux shaker & Fun-Fold card

April 21, 2021

I have a few special cards to share today. They look difficult or 'fancy' but aren't. At the end of this post is the video where I share how to make them. Scroll down to see it or click here.

This first card is a fun fold that opens in a unique way.

Save

It's made of two folded pieces of card stock and a few circle dies. The punched dragonflies are directly from the Dandy Garden DSP. I didn't stamp them since they match the Dragonflies punch perfectly!

I posted the measurements in the photo for you. I try to share them on my FB Live's so people can take screen shots.

This next card is a 'Faux Shaker' card. I use one of Stampin' Up!'s clear envelopes to create a pocket of fun that I add to my card front. They are so addictive to shake & rattle! Watch how in the video below; it's surprisingly easy to make!

This last card was made to highlight the beautiful but seldom seen Dandelions 3D embossing folder. It's so pretty and wonderfully detailed. Great for simple but elegant cards as you can see here.

This card was made using Purple Posy card stock which is retiring this month. So sad to see it go! But we are getting a new purple/pink color in the 2021 new catalog called Fresh Freesia that I know we'll love.

Here's the video; I hope you watch it!

Pampered Pets Easy Fun Fold card

July 30, 2020
This cute card starts out as a standard A2 card – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". Adding just one extra score line creates this interactive, unique card!

Save

I used the Pampered Pets stamp set and the Playful Pets designer paper. I colored the critters in with Blends markers and added a Playful Pets trinket with the Playful Pets trim and a glue dot. Sooo cute!

The scalloped White layer is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and the Real Red greeting is 1" X 4" and punched with the Lovely Labels PIck a Punch on both ends. Note the two different ends shown above.

The Happy Birthday greeting inside the left card is from the Best Year stamp set.

Watch the video below to get my tips on assembly and coloring. Measurements are listed below.

Measurements:
- Real Red 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4", greeting strip 1" X 3 3/4"
  White inside 5 1/4" X 4", front die-cut 3 5/8" X 2 1/2"
  Black 3 3/4" X 2 5/8"
  Designer paper 1 1/4" X 5 1/4"
