Make up to 24 great cards with this easy layout!

July 9, 2021

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!

Save

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!

Save

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!

Circle Celebration Easy 8 Card Wonder Kit to Go!

May 10, 2021
As you know I love creating One Sheet Wonders. I have created lots of them in the years I've been a demonstrator. I create the cards and my husband makes the templates. You can see them all here in my Shop.

For these cards I used my Easy 8 Card Wonder template and the Circle Celebration stamp set. You can see the stamp set here.

Save

The colors are Poppy Parade, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight. I wanted them to be bright and happy celebratory cards. I think I succeeded!

For the greetings I used the stamp sets Many Mates & Itty Bitty Birthdays but you can easily substitute what you own.

Here's a look at how I made the main 'wonder' piece. I used slightly different colors on this sheet, but it gives you the idea.

Save

I stamped all over a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock; the printed template is on the reverse side. After stamping I flip it over and cut on the printed lines. Each piece is numbered so I know which one goes with which card in the tutorial. The PDF tutorial includes measurements for other pieces needed.

You can purchase the PDF tutorial here.

There is also a kit to go option for $28. It includes the following:
- Circle Celebration photopolymer stamp set
- 8 pre-cut cards including layers, punched and die-cut pieces
- The printed 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock
- The complete PDF sent via email
*You will need the inks in the colors stated above (or similar colors), a paper trimmer and adhesive. The kit does not include stamped images, gems or ribbon.

If you want the pre-cut kit to go contact me at lagreff60@gmail.com. I cannot give a link to purchase here due to SU regulations.

I have two kits to go this month; see the other one here. Opt in for both and save on shipping!

Misty Trees Beauty of Friendship card

May 7, 2021
With each new catalog I always join several card swaps so I have lots of samples to share with my customers.

Here's one I created featuring the Beauty of Friendship Bundle.

Save

The colors are the new In Colors of course; Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. The background stamping is made by stamping the trees several times without reinking. This gives you several hues/generations of ink which creates a misty, grouping of trees. I love this effect with a 'naked' tree! It reminds me of my Father-in-Law who loved naked trees.

Other details:
- The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a 1" strip of our Vellum card stock. I immediately heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Classic (or waterbase) ink does not dry quickly on vellum so you get colored, embossing easily.
- The vellum was cut long enough to wrap around the outside edge and adhere to the back side.
- The dark tree was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on White CS and die-cut with the Beautiful Trees dies.

You can see this Beauty of Friendship bundle here. It's just lovely and I think it's going to be super popular!
