Easiest Shake Card Ever; plus the quickest Christmas cards you can make!!

December 2, 2020

Have you wanted to make a shaker card but didn't want to deal with the Foam Adhesive and window sheets? Well I have a solution for you! Use a clear envelope! Yes; it works beautifully!

Save

I used one of the Wonder of the Season cards, cutting it down to 4" X 5 1/4" and adding another layered strip. I then inserted it into one of our clear envelopes (seen here) and folded the excess to the back, securing it with Tear & Tape. Then I added some Sequins for Everything and sealed it up. It's adhered to a Real Red card base and the greeting is adhered to the front.

The stamps are from the Tag Buffet stamp set.

You can watch how I did this in the video below; it's one of the first projects.

In the video I also shared the Wonder of the Season Memories & More projects. These cards are beautiful and filled with gold & red foil accents. I love these because they are super quick & easy! All I added were some Red rhinestones! No stamping or extra card stock!

Here are a few I made:

Remember I only used three products on these! All you need are the cards (seen here) and the cards & envelopes (seen here) and Red Rhinestones.

Save

You can use the 3 X 4" cards for the pretty card bases so the foil accents show. Or flip the front to the inside and use the larger 4" X 6" cards on the front. This way you can still see that pretty foil on the inside!

Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap

January 9, 2023
I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog. It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.

Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.

Save

I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors. I added White & Blushing Bride to it.

Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details. This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!

Save

The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.

Save

My measurements are simple:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- DSP 2" X 4"
- White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"
Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.

I'll share some photos of my new catalog party from Saturday later this week. Stop back in!

Dainty Flowers cards with time saving tips!

January 6, 2023

I made this pretty card in just a few minutes with 1/8 of a 12 X 12" piece of the Dainty Flowers designer paper. That means you can get 8 cards from each sheet!

Save

I made the first cut across at 5 1/2". Then cut each piece at 3" wide. This gorgeous print is just one of many in this pack. It's free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion from January 5th – February 28th. See it here.

If you don't have the ribbon color you want, color it with a Blends marker. Our Blends markers come in a 2-pack of light and dark; try both to see which one fits your needs. And did you know that if you go over it more than once you can get a darker shade? This works on both paper AND ribbon!

Save

If you're making multiples of the same card AND heat embossing why not stamp & heat emboss multiples at the same time?

Save

I inked the greetings (from Dainty Delight) in Versamark ink and stamped on the Old Olive CS. Then covered in White embossing powder before heat embossing with the Heat Tool. Now I could trim them into strips for my cards.

Tip; you cannot do an entire page at once or the ink dries before you can get powder on it. I did 4-5 at a time and it works fine. It all depends on how fast you can cover it with powder.

**Before stamping I swiped my card stock with the embossing buddy. This is an anti-static bag that prevents excess powder from sticking where you don't want it. The embossing buddy is included in our Embossing Additions Tool Kit seen here.

You can see more cards in this video I shared on Tuesday. Click here or on the photo below:
