The font on this Merry Christmas stamp sold me on it. Just a little bit of the fun, curviness I love.

This Merry Christmas stamp is a true classic with a bit of that Victorian feel to it. I don’t often keep retired stamps but I will keep this one! It’s on sale now too; while supplies last. Click here to see it.

I paired it with the Traditions of Christmas designer paper here. It’s discounted and on the Last Chance list here. However it’s currently out of stock but should be back next week.
A bit of holly and berries with some ribbon and you’re done! As you can see I added the same DSP to my envelope flap. Now that makes a card extra special!

This next one features the Need for Tweed designer series paper. See that here. Fun prints with lots of texture. It’s also on sale right now and available while supplies last.

I stamped the inside with greetings from the Traditional Labels stamp set.

Aren’t they a beautiful set of cards! I will be making more of these and it’s a bonus that it uses up a nice piece of designer paper. No hoarding it!

• Butterfly Kisses fun fold card with Enamel Effects

  September 6, 2022

  ---

  Here's the last fun fold card I made in last week's FB Live video.  Each one featured the Butterfly Kisses designer paper and the Charming Sentiments bundle.

  The dots on the pretty die-cut butterfly and circle are made with our new Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics seen here.  It comes in three colors and is so easy to use.  

  You can even make your own removable enamel dots by applying it to excess mini glue dot tape or to our Silicone Mat.

  I used a few sets of dies on this card: Build a Butterfly, Sentiment Silhouettes, Stylish Shapes (stitched circle) & Stitched with Whimsy (stitched frame).

  Measurements:

  • Calypso Coral 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
  • Starry Sky 5” X 3 ¾” plus 2 1/2" stitched circle 
  • White is 9 ¾” X 3 ½” scored at 2 ½” & 5”
  • DSP 2 1/4" X 3 1/4"

• Another easy but fun fold card with Butterfly Kisses

  September 2, 2022

  Here's one more quick fun fold card idea for you.  The entire front flap of the card is your designer paper!  So cool!

  Again I used the Butterfly Kisses 6" designer paper seen here.  It's in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog and so full of fun patterns & bright colorful butterflies.  The butterflies are perfect to fussy cut too!  

  Can you see how the front right piece of designer paper is anchored to just the very left flap of the main card base?

  I used the Charming Sentiments stamp set for my greeting and the Stylish Shapes dies for the stitched circle. These dies are currently out of stock but will be back by mid September. 

  The measurements are in the photo below:

  I also used the Fun Flower Resin Shapes on the cards too. They are part of the Butterfly Kisses Suite seen here.
