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!  

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!

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!

• New: Vine Design Dutch Door fold card

  December 29, 2020

  I made several cards for online swaps featuring products in the upcoming 2021 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalog.  This pretty fun fold card was one of them.  I gravitate towards anything with leaves or vines so I knew I'd like this set called Vine Design.

  The colors here are Night of Navy, Seaside Spray & Old Olive with White. I used my Stamparatus for the vine image; it's so perfect for multiple cards!  Perfect inking and placement each time.

• Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

  December 28, 2020

  ---

  I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend!  We sure did.  It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together. 

  Here's another card we made at my December card clubs.  It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too.  It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style.  Scroll down to see the video.

  You just need three circles of different sizes.  I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges.  I use these dies so much!  If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here. 

  I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

  The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets.  Just one ink color; Night of Navy. 

  Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives.  See that video here.

  The above cards were made with various designer papers & stamp sets.  The top is Classic Christmas, left is Heartwarming Hugs and right is Snowflake Splendor. 

  Measurements:

  • Main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Neutral (White or Vanilla) is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  • Greeting strip is 1/2" X 5" 
  • Circles are the largest three stitched circle dies 1 3/4", 2 3/8" & 2 7/8"

• Let it Snow?! Are you having a White Christmas?

  December 25, 2020

  ---

  Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your Holiday today and that you are able to spend time with some of your favorite people. This year is so unusual and difficult for many who are isolated.  I wish you the best and thank you for your support this past year.  

  We did just get snow this week; very unusual for us in North Dakota!  So it's a white Christmas after all.  

  Here are two of my favorite wintery cards featuring my Life is Beautiful stamp set.

  The card above is Seaside Spray with Black & White.  The stamp set is Snowman Season in the Annual Catalog.

  This card is made with the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  Ink colors are black, Balmy Blue & Highland Heather. The DSP is retiring in a week or so and it's on sale here.

  This card is very similar to the one above only made with Early Espresso & Balmy Blue. 

  Merry Christmas!
