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!

• A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts

  August 11, 2025

  ---

  Have you ever done the Joseph’s Coat technique?  It’s one of those techniques that makes you feel like an artist.

  Save

  I shared how to do it on last week’s Live video. The card I’m featuring today uses the Layering Thoughts technique with three of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.  

  Save

  These colors – card stock, ink, refills, gems, markers and card stock are all 15% off in August. See these products and so much more here.  It’s a great time to grab these items while discounted. 

  This technique involves a few steps:

  1. sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White. 
  2. Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer. 
  3. Stamp your images using Versamark ink. 
  4. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry. 
  5. Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer.  The embossed areas will resist the water based ink. 
  6. Dab off excess ink with a tissue or paper towel.  Done!  

  Here’s how I finished the inside.  I wanted to use all of the colors I colored on the front so I used my Stampin’ Write markers on the stamp before stamping.
