Christmas Season Gatefold card with a Designer Paper twist; FB Live video!

October 25, 2021

We're making these pretty cards tonight on FB Live 'Stamp with Me'. It's at 7:30 pm CT here.

It's actually a gatefold card but the front panel is a piece of designer paper that leaves a reveal of the right edge of the card base which is textured.

For these two cards I chose to use the In Good Taste DSP (Annual Catalog on the left) and Cork paper on the left from the Holiday catalog.

Or see it on my YouTube channel here on Tuesday.

Two Elegant cards by my Team

July 6, 2021

Yesterday I shared two of my Flowerbug's Team swaps here and today I'm sharing two more. They do a fabulous job on their swaps and I love seeing what they create!

First is Tracey's card featuring the Friends are Like Seashells bundle. The fact that the die has a coordinating embossing folder (seen here) makes these products AND projects uniquely special. See it here.

Save

Her colors are Pool Party & Very Vanilla. She embossed both the Vanilla die-cut layer and the Pool party layer to reveal the embossed dots on the background. Love this!

~~~

Lori made this next card with the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer paper seen here. She colored the gold paper with Mint Macaron ink with Blending Brushes. That extra pop of gold foil really brings it all together.

Save

Her dies are from the Stitched So Sweetly set seen here. Beautifully elegant!

2 fabulous cards with the Hand-Penned Designer Paper

July 5, 2021
I have two pretty cards to share with you today; both from my Flowerbug Team swaps in June. Both are made with the Hand-Penned DSP which is on sale right now. Instead of $11.50 it's just $9.78. See the sale on all 9 packs of Designer Paper here.

First is a card by Marilyn. She made a corner latch card. I've shared a few of those in the past weeks; it's a fabulous and super simple but special fold anyone can make. Below are the measurements.

Save

She made it even more special by adding a 'stitched' corner to hers. She used a few sets of dies here; the Triangle and Pierced Bloom dies all in the Annual Catalog. The greeting is from the In Bloom stamp set.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11", scored at 5 1/2". Trim off 2 3/4" from one end & save.
  DSP – 2 pieces at 2 1/2" X 4"
  Corner is 2 1/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal
  White inside is 3" X 4 1/4"
Next is a card Karen made using Misty Moonlight and our new In Color Shimmer vellum.

Save

She used the Penned Flower dies for the flowers and the Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped White greeting. Her card really shows off this pretty patterned paper!

Triple Pane Bamboo Beauty with a masked moon

July 2, 2021

Two-toned cards can be especially striking and I think this Bamboo Beauty card done in greens proves the point.

Save

I used just one color of ink here; Old Olive however the card base is Mossy Meadow. I did stamp off once before stamping some of the images. I made this card in a recent FB Live video. You can see it here. Or scroll down to view it on my blog below.

I started with a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of White CS. I placed a post-it note mask made with a 1 3/4" circle on it for the moon before sponging and stamping. It's really quite easy to do (see in the video)!

Afterwards I trimmed the stamped White CS into three pieces measuring 1 9/16th" wide. The tag is made with the Tailor Made Tags dies.

And here is the video where I share two more cards; scroll down to the end to see this card made.
