Dressed to Impress Best Dressed Triple Fold card

April 22, 2020

The retired list will be out this afternoon.

Stop back in to see it or click here to see it all in my store.

Here's the Best Dressed fun fold card I promised you yesterday. (See the Ornate Garden cards here.)

Look at this cute fun fold card! See how the paper matches up across the three panels? So clever! **Watch the video here on Facebook.

This card is standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" but you score it at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4" to get the triple fold.

The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper! Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6". Cut the Best Dressed paper into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

Those three pieces add up to 6" across! What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet! The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4".

I added a pretty die-cut border cut from the Ornate Borders die; love the eyelet detail on it! The set of dies are currently unavailable but should be back in stock in early May.
The greeting layers are cut using the Stitched Nested Labels and the flowers and leaves are stamped and fussy cut. The colors are Old Olive and Purple Posy.

The stamps are all from the Dressed to Impress stamp set seen here.

Save

The die-cuts here are from the Stitched So Sweetly dies from the mini catalog; also currently out of stock and unavailable. They should be back in next week. The colors here are Lovely Lipstick and Mint Macaron.

The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)
The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

Save

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:
The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.

Save

I am thrilled with how they turned out. Two of the 5 designs are unique fun fold cards which are always a delight to create. There are 10 cards in this kit; 2 each of 5 designs. I used the following inks: Pool Party, Black, Petal Pink, Cherry Cobbler and Grapefruit Grove.

Painted Poppies in a window

January 7, 2020

Adding dimension and interest to a clean & simple card can be a challenge. Adding a window with the Stitched Nested Label dies does it easily.

Save

I had this window piece in my bag of White scraps, so it was extra easy to make this card. I used the Stitched Nested Labels; which are a 'must have' in my opinion. Next time you want a die-cut, consider die-cutting it in the center of a larger piece so you can use both pieces!

The top White piece is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", the second White layer is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8". The Granny Apple Green piece is 1 1/2" X 5 1/2".

Just like yesterday's card I used my Dark Poppy Parade blends marker to color the new 1/4" White Crinkled ribbon for the bow. Both of the images are stamped in Black Memento ink. I colored the green leaves and bud with a Granny Apple Green Blends marker. The poppy flower is colored by stamping with one of the stamps in the Painted Poppies set.

Save

The greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts stamp set; it's free with any $50 order right now during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. You can see all of the free items here.

I love the new Peaceful Poppies suite and have created 10 project sheets to send to everyone who places an order in January. Details below:
