Make up to 24 great cards with this easy layout!


I created 24 wonderful but super easy cards on this week's Facebook Live video.  I featured the same template but switched it from vertical to horizontal for each set of 12 cards.

I chose to use the new Pattern Party host Designer Paper because of it's versatility and fun color combos.  You can see this paper here. 

I kept these cards super simple but you could easily add more layers if you'd like.  Here's a close up of two of my favorites:

Above is Crushed Curry card bases paired with the adorable Pattern Party black and white side of this fabulous Designer Paper.  I used both the Friends & Flowers and the Sunny Sentiments stamp sets here.  The flowers are colored in with Blends markers. 

Here are all of the landscape cards; I love this stamp & punch bundle!  

And next are all of the vertical cards.  I stamped the flower image from the Friends & Flowers on either White or colored card stock and colored them in with either Blends markers or Wink of Stella; or both!  Simply add a greeting strip and some rhinestones.  So easy!  


The above set of cards is the exact same layout as the landscape cards; just flipped vertically!  I love the versatility of this design!  This is the same designer paper as well, but on the colorful side.  The reverse is all black & white patterns.  

The images are from the Friends & Flowers stamp set.  The greeting strips are about 3/4" X 3". 

Think how quickly you could make a stack of cards using this easy layout!  Below is the video to get my tips and see the cards better. 

Remember that my perk for ordering over $50 in July is a stack of twenty 4" X 6" Designer Paper that includes at least 12 sheets of this Pattern Party DSP.  It's enough to make all 24 cards shown and more!  And the  more you order the more free Designer Paper you'll receive!

  • Get free handmade cards from me in November. And a brand new card kit in the Kit Collection!


    It's November! It's hard to believe we're starting to think about Thanksgiving already!  

    I have a bunch of handmade cards I'd love to share with you. I know many of you love having card samples in hand for ideas. I have a shoebox full saved for quick reference when I'm creating.  

    My November special for online orders is a set of handmade cards. The more you order the more cards you'll receive!  

    Please use a host code when ordering from me. This helps me a lot so I can afford to gift you all with free items each month. 

    Starting today there's a brand new kit in our Kit Collection; it's a set of cards with a 'destination' theme. It's called the Best Destination Kit – item #163186. 


    This all inclusive kit is $20 and includes:

    • Enough supplies to create 9 cards—3 each of 3 designs
    • 9 coordinating envelopes
    • Best Destination Photopolymer Stamp Set
    • One Gorgeous Grape Ink Spot
    • Printed card bases, printed die cuts, adhesive, embellishments, and a clear block

    Here are the pretty scenic cards:

    Remember that our Kit Collection kits are all inclusive. This means that everything you need is in the kit.  However you may need a paper snips scissors and I recommend adhesive too. The kits usually include dimensionals or glue dots but if you're a crafter you'll want your own adhesive.

    Look at all you get!

    Here's a close-up of the stamp set that's included:

  • Gorgeous Abundant Beauty Kraft notecards with gift box


    I was inspired by this set of cards & box by a project shared online. I changed up the colors to 'my' favorites and created this:

    I absolutely LOVE the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks seen here! The sunflowers are my favorite of course, but I also used the houndstooth mask here as well. Unfortunately these masks are out of stock right now. They'll be back around November 13th. 

    You might think I made this box but I sure didn't!  It's found on page 135 of our Annual Catalog. It includes 20 cards & 20 envelopes and one box for gifting cards in; all in Kraft paper.  The cards are notecard side which is 5" X 3 1/2". See it here online. 

    As you can see in the photo below I used the houndstooth mask to add a soft background to each notecard.  I used a blending brush and Copper Clay ink.  

    The sunflowers are made with Pretty Peacock ink and the leaves are Granny Apple Green on White cardstock. Yes; they are all fussy cut! I did some but my friend Pat did the rest for me; she loves to fussy cut things! 

    The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set from the 2023 Holiday catalog.  It's my favorite greeting set right now. See it here. 

     

    You can see in the photo below that I added the houndstooth pattern to the entire box, inside & out.  Because it comes flat it's easy to do. 

    I hope you're inspired by this project.  I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but it will be someone special!
