Fast & Fabulous Zoo Crew cards, with a free project sheet


There's something special about a project in Black and White. I love to add an extra color to really make it pop. These cards were made at my July card club gatherings.  

I wanted a good size piece of the cute, printed Zoo Crew designer paper seen here on the front of the card.  But I also love the mostly Black sheets too.  So I came up with this card.  I added a thin line of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock between the two pieces of DSP (Designer Series Paper).   

I recommend adhering the large layer of DSP to the card base first.  Then adhere the Black DSP to the Lemon Lime Twist strip and add it to the card base.  All that's left is to stamp & heat emboss your greeting (from the Playing in the Rain set). 

Of course there's a cute die-cut stars (Wanted to Say dies) and a Baker's Twine bow to add too. 

Here's the inside:   

The stamped images and Balloon die-cut are all from the Zany Zoo bundle.

Here's a free project sheet if you'd like measurements, directions and a supplies list.  Download July 23 Zoo Crew

It's a great layout to show off both sides of your Designer Paper.  I hope you try it with your favorite papers!

  • A Touch of Ink Fun Fold card with Oh So Ombre; quick & easy!


    We made these pretty fun fold cards at my February card clubs!  I think the A Touch of Ink stamp set is incredibly versatile!  There was an option for everyone's needs. 

    I shared this card on my FB Live yesterday plus two others with this paper & stamp set.  You can see it here.  

    Aren't they pretty?!  I feel like these two Sale-a-Bration choices go together perfectly.  The Ombre DSP lets the stamp shine though.  You can get either or both free with an order through February 28th.  Sale-a-Bration ends then and there won't be anymore 'free' with purchase options.  

    Go here to see the A Touch of Ink stamp set and here to see the Oh So Ombre DSP.  

    I added some of our new Black Matte gems and the pretty Black Glittered ribbon too.  That neat stitched die-cut is from the Stitched Nested Label dies seen here. 

    Measurements:

    • Black 5 ½” X 8 ½” score at 1 ½” and 4 ¼”
    • Designer Paper – 5 1/2" X 6". Cut in order from left to right so the pattern matches making sure the 6" side is along the top.  2 ¾” X 5 ¼”, 1 1/8” X 5 ¼”, 2 1/8” X 5 ¼”. Plus the last piece on the right is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • White inside 2 3/4" X 3 1/2", die-cut is 2" X 3 3/4"
    • Black strip 1" X 2 3/4"

  • Beautiful Love You Always Foil Specialty paper


    Last weekend we held our monthly card swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  The theme was to use Specialty paper on their card.  

    The cards I'm sharing today all feature the Love You Always Specialty Foil papers.  Did you know we have two kinds?  A smooth foil seen here and printed foil seen here.  

    This first card was created by Karen G.  She used both specialty papers with the Always in My Heart bundle. The Floral Heart dies are gorgeous!  I love the heart and that banner!!! 

    This next beauty was created by Candace. She also used both of these pretty specialty papers along with the 'Love You More Than' dies.  The embossing folder is the Parisian Flourish 3D seen here. 

    And lastly, this striking card was made by Mary.  She combined the Love You Always paper with the True Love DSP.  

    She fussy cut the flowers from the True Love DSP and colored them with Blends markers.  The Best Wishes is from the Art Gallery bundle. 

    Aren't my gals talented though!

    *Remember that if you have a nice wish list February is a great time to whittle it down!  You can choose to order as a customer and earn free Sale-a-Bration items or get the Starter Kit option and get 25% off a $125 order.  And then get 20% off all further purchases!

  • Creative Cards Simple Sketch #CC2


    Get inspired by sketches!  You can find them everywhere online; especially on Pinterest.  Just search for card sketches and you'll be amazed at the great layouts you'll come up with. 

    I've started a weekly challenge with my Flowerbug's Team where I share a card sketch or color challenge.  I'm calling them Creative Cards or #CC.  Here's the one we did last week: 

    And here's the card I came up with.  

    I chose to use the Playing with Patterns designer paper and a new product that's coming out to everyone in March.  It's called Butterfly Bouquet and it has gorgeous Designer Paper and a beautiful stamp & dies bundle.  The stamp & dies will be out in the upcoming 2021 Annual Catalog in May.  But they're releasing it early in March!  

    Demonstrators can order it now in February. On the card above I used mostly the DSP with just one purple die-cut. The greeting is from one of my favorite greeting sets; Happy Thoughts.  

    There are now just 7 days left of Sale-a-Bration!!! 

    That means you have one week to either purchase the Starter Kit deal (seen below) or get free stamps or paper!  Don't wait!
