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.

Fabulous 1 sheet box for A2 cards with a free project sheet & video too!

March 4, 2024

I shared the coolest box on last week's video. It is made from 1 sheet of designer paper!

Save

It fits six A2 sized cards and envelopes inside. It's the perfect way to gift cards to someone.

I used the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper for the box and the cards too. Of course Sale-a-Bration is now over but hopefully you ordered this beautiful paper. If not you can substitute any other designer paper.

Save

I created a free project sheet for this easy box and the cards too! See it below. There's also a template for it but it will help you to watch the video too. Click here to watch it. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

Save
Each of the cards are an easy fun fold layout. I'll share measurements here too but they are included in the project sheet too.

This first one is a fun version of a book-binding card fold. Just add one more piece of card stock and you have a whole new card layout!

Save

Measurements: Petal Pink card 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". 2nd piece is 3 1/4" X 4", White inside 2" X 4". DSP – large panel is 3" X 4", left is 1" X 4" & right is 2" X 4"

This next card has the designer paper as the card front; attached to the front flap. Love this and how you can see both sides of our pretty paper!

Save

Measurements: Poppy Parade card 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". DSP – 1 piece at 3/4" X 5 1/2", 1 piece at 4" X 5 1/2". Petal Pink CS is 4" X 1"

This is a great fold that uses the trimmed off card base as the front panel. Love this one!!

Save

See how I decorated my envelopes to match the cards! This really elevates your projects and makes them extra special.

Measurements: Pool Party cards – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4". DSP 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"

Click on the link to download or print the free project sheet. It has measurements, step by step directions and a supplies list too. Download 1 sheet box with 6 cards & envelopes

Below is the video you can watch. I share a second version of this box & cards using the Softly Sophisticated designer paper. I'll share details on this box & cards tomorrow.

Save

There will be over 20 brand new products in the Online Exclusives offering! There are two adorable new designer papers, many new stamps sets & bundles plus an embossing folder and new gems. *these are available while supplies last.

Today I'm sharing a card I created for an online card swap. It features the new A Little Latte designer paper and a new stamp bundle called The Little Things.

Save

Details:
- My colors include Lost Lagoon, Early Espresso, White & Pecan Pie.
- The Little Things stamp set features a few larger words – outline & solid images plus many smaller greetings that fit the banner dies in the bundle.
- I stamped the coffee splatters background in Versamark ink
- The coffee cups are fussy cut
- Measurements: DSP is 4 1/2" X 2 1/4", Espresso layer 4 3/4" X 2 1/2", Pecan Pie strip 1 3/4" X 4 1/4", White greeting is 4 3/4" X 3/4"
There are a few sheets of the A Little Latte designer paper that feature cups of coffee. I used both types on my cards below fussy cutting them. I actually enjoy fussy cutting easy images out.

Save

The above photo shows the new Happy Little Things bundle – it has two new banner dies that coordinate with the smaller greetings in the set. I was surprised at how easy it was to stamp the solid 'Celebrate' to match the outline image. Out of all of my 16 cards I only had to stamp one over.

Save

These were fun cards to make for a swap; cute but not too time consuming!
