Favored Flowers SAB fun fold card with video

I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas weekend.  We sure did.  It was crazy busy trying to fit all of our annual activities into three days.  But we did it!  I sure love having my kids home for the holidays; we all look forward to it!

We have a few traditions; one is an appetizer show down. Each one of us makes an appetizer for Christmas eve and we vote on them.  We vote on taste AND presentation.  This year my granddaughter won with her Pizza Monkey Bread with marinara dipping sauce.  I came in second with Spanakopita.

The other fun thing we do is play Minute to Win It games.  We had a golf putting game, build the tallest snowman with marshmallows, Corn Hole, name the items in the stocking, moving mini marshmallows from one bow to another with a straw, filling a bowl with bows using a spatula blindfolded.  It's always a blast.  Funny story…. I always buy random presents for winners but totally forgot this year.  And I won!  Sheesh!

I shared this pretty card on last week's Facebook Live.  I'm not sure what this fold is called though!

The center panel lifts up.  It's 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  The center DSP is 3" X 4" and so is the inside white panel.  

The flowers on the front White oval are fussy cut from the designer paper. This beautiful paper is free with a $50 order starting January 5th during Sale-a-Bration.

I used Blackberry Bliss card stock since it matches the designer paper so well.  

  • Card base 5 ½” X 4 1/4", 3 ¼” X 8 ½” scored at 4 1/4"
  • White inside & DSP 3" X 4", DSP side pieces are 1" X 4" and 1 1/4" X 4"

The greeting is from another Beautifully Happy stamp set; also a free choice during Sale-a-Bration.  It's a big 17 piece Photopolymer set that's free with a $100 order from January 5th – February 28th. 

Here's the video showing how to make this card and another snowflake version too:

  • CUTE Rain or Shine fun-fold card kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial option

    When I saw the Rain or Shine specialty DSP I liked it but I didn't know I'd LOVE it until I played with it this weekend.  I thought it would be mostly for kids with cute animals (critters I call them) but it's so much more!  Each page of the designer paper has glossy accents on one side including rain, flowers, critters and clouds.  It's utterly charming! 

    I decided that each card in this kit would be a fancy fold; some are simple and others a bit 'fancy' but they are easy to achieve with my tutorial.  Look at these!

    Playing in the Rain all Save

    The colors are both soft & bright – I chose to focus on Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive & Mango Melody.  A super fun and unique mix. 

    This pre-cut kit to go includes the 10 pre-cut cards & all punched or die-cut elements, 1/2 pkg of the Rain or Shine specialty DSP, a share of White crinkled ribbon and Flat Adhesive-backed pearls. The PDF tutorial is free with the kit!  That's $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28. Get your kit here.   If you'd prefer the PDF tutorial only click here.  It's $15.  

    Opt in by March 19th to get the pre-cut kit.  After that date I'll order the product and cut out the kits.  They will be mailed out via Priority Mail at the end of March, barring any back orders. *The PDF tutorial is sent to you via email from my Shop. 

    Playing in the rain2 Save

    You will need a paper trimmer (to cut your new DSP), adhesives, greeting images and Olive, Flirty Flamingo & Balmy blue ink pads.  I used the Playing in the Rain & Framed Occasions stamp sets for greetings but you can substitute others if needed. 

    Add on the Playing in the Rain stamp set or bundle at 10% off!  Message me here for that option and I'll send you an invoice for it all. 

    I have another new kit to go available in March – the Hello, Irresistible card kit.  See that here.   Get both and save $$. *Add on any other card kit with it and save on shipping costs!  Go here to see them all.

  • Exciting new Online Exclusive products are here! Irresistible Blooms shaker card with video tutorial

    Yesterday they released 12 new items in the Online Exclusives store.  These items are not in any printed catalog.

    Have you looked at them yet? Click here or on the photo below to see them online.

    I shared this fun shaker card on last week's FB Live video. It features one of the new Online Exclusive bundles called Irresistible Blooms.  

    Hello Irresistible shaker Save

    I chose Fresh Freesia with Navy & Daffodil Delight as my colors.  I'm so ready for spring and yellow & purple are fresh, happy colors. 

    I used the circle die in this new bundle to cut a window in my Fresh Freesia front layer and stamped the spatter image all over the front.  Then I adhered my window sheet behind the opening. 

    Next I added Foam Adhesive strips around the opening, in the back. This keeps the shaker elements in the viewing window and contained. Peel off the backing on the foam strips and add your stamped layer over it.  

    Hello Irresistible shaker .. Save

    *Tips: I like to peel off the backing before I add the shaker pieces.  This prevents movement that can cause the shaker pieces to jump.  I also like to cut my inside layer just a bit smaller so I can center it on this piece, upside down.  

    I stamped the flower & leave and die-cut them with the coordinating dies from the Irresistible Blooms bundle.  See it here.

  • Floating Panel card with video – so cool but incredibly easy!

    On a recent FB Live class we made Floating Panel cards like this one made with the Best Day stamp set from the January-April catalog. Click here to see the cute Best Day stamp set.

    See how the card front is folded in half but the panel is straight?  There's a neat, easy way to do that by adding two little pieces of card stock.  Each strip is folded in half and positioned on both the top panel and the card base.  See the other photo below to understand it.  Or watch the video here.

    I also used the Dandy Designs designer paper from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  Sadly that is now over; it ended February 28th.

    My colors on the card above are Black, Mango Melody & Polished Pink.  I used Blends markers to color the cat image.  I added Wink of Stella for some shimmer as well.  

    Floating Panel measurements:

    • card base – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2 pieces at 2" X 5 1/4"
    • White scalloped (Scalloped Contours die) die-cut is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"
    • CS layer is 2 5/8" X 3 7/8"
    • two strips 1/2" X 1 3/4" for floating mechanism 

    I used the Best Day stamp set here; it's adorable with lots of birthday images and greetings.  It's in the Jan-June catalog and you can see it here.

    You can see how the two folded strips are added to the front center fold below:

    I stamped the inside with images from the Best Day stamp set, adding some colored rhinestones to help the card stay open and in place.  Honestly a die-cut or punch would work better than a rhinestone.
