NEW Everyday Details card with a unique Designer Paper layout with video tutorial


I joined quite a few online card swaps for the new 2024 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs and today's post features one of them. 

It features the Everyday Details bundle and the Poetic Expressions designer series paper. Both are in the upcoming 2024 Spring Catalog that goes live on January 4th.  The colors include Boho Blue & Misty Moonlight with White. 

There's a few special details I'd like to point out:

  1. The designer paper triangle is originally a 4" square, cut in half. I added it to a textured layer (4" X 5 1/4")
  2. The dotted circle die-cut is from the Everyday Details bundle; there are a variety of sizes in the set. It is adhered over a White stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 
  3. I stamped the cup image in Misty Moonlight ink. The flower is colored a soft white by using our Craft White ink and a Wink of Stella pen. I shared how to do this in the video here.  You can also use a Blender pen, a water pen or Watercolor Pencils.

Here's a close-up of this technique. 

I thought I'd take a photo of all of the swaps before I mailed them out: 

I hope you'll try this easy but unique card layout!

  • A Wonderful Serene Love card kit to go; or choose the tutorial option


    I knew I'd love this paper when I ordered it. I was right! The patterns and colors are beautiful.

    I created a fantastic group of cards featuring the Serene Love DSP (new release this month). All but 4 of the 5 designs are fun folds. Aren't they pretty? 

    I added Pretty in Pink as an accent since it works wonderfully with these colors.  I created 5 different cards and made 2 of each.  In this kit to go you'll receive the following:

    • 10 pre-cut cards including layers, punched or die-cut pieces
    • a share of Iridescent Pearl jewels
    • a share of Pretty in Pink ribbon
    • the PDF tutorial with photos, directions, measurements and a supplies list

    This kit to go is $31 and will be sent to you via Priority mail at the end of December. You can reserve your kit to go here.

    The PDF tutorial is available separately here for $16. It is sent to you via email immediately after payment. 

    You will need a few ink colors, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper. The colors include Petal Pink, Pool Party, Misty Moonlight and Fresh Freesia. 

    *This is the kit my subscribers will receive in December. 

    I'll share the other kit to go Friday.  Or click here to see them both now.  You'll save on shipping if you order more than one kit.

  • Super Easy Fun Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    Free shipping continues through Wednesday, December 11th.  All orders over $75 qualify.

    I shared this simple but unique fun fold card on last week's Live video.  It's a great card fold and makes great use of your designer paper too.  

    It's called a back fold and is so easy to make! The greeting layers are adhered to the right edge of this card. It holds the left flap closed but opens easily since there is a scored line. I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done. 

    It features our Take a Bow designer series paper from the Holiday catalog.  I also used the Christmas Labels bundle for my greeting image and die-cut. 

    The White die-cut is from the set of dies but it was quite easy to layer a red shape under it.  I fussy cut the upper & lower edges to match. The green glimmer die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops dies and our Festive Glimmer paper.

    Below is the video I made for this card and another diagonal fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper!  I hope you watch and make some.

    I shared this super cute fun fold card on last week's Live video. It has lots of layers but it's so easy to make!  

    Besides the bright, happy holiday colors in the Take a Bow DSP I love that this fun fold uses your cardstock efficiently. Each diagonally cut card base is one half of an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of CS. I forgot to take a photo of this aspect but I do share it in the video seen here. 

    Below is a photo that shows how it opens and the pocket available for the optional gift card.

    My colors include Real Red & Garden Green with White. The diagonal layers are also easy to do.  Start with a rectangle and cut it in half on the diagonal making sure you cut it to match the diagonal. 

    My greeting & White die-cut is from the Christmas Labels bundle which is on the Last Chance list right now. See it here. 

    The Red die-cut is from Greetings of the Season dies and the pine bough die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops and made from the Festive Glimmer paper. 

    I added a double bow made from Red &  White Baker's Twine and Peppermint dots that are currently unavailable but will return at the end of December.  *They are NOT on the Last Chance list so they should be available for awhile!

    I created a free project sheet you can print or download for this fun fold card. Click on the following link to get it.  Download Take a Bow November 2024

    Below is the video I made for this card and another super quick fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper!  I hope you watch and make some.
