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:

• Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

  December 28, 2020

  I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend!  We sure did.  It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together. 

  Here's another card we made at my December card clubs.  It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too.  It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style.  Scroll down to see the video.

  You just need three circles of different sizes.  I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges.  I use these dies so much!  If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here. 

  I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

  The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets.  Just one ink color; Night of Navy. 

  Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives.  See that video here.

• Let it Snow?! Are you having a White Christmas?

  December 25, 2020

  ---

  Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your Holiday today and that you are able to spend time with some of your favorite people. This year is so unusual and difficult for many who are isolated.  I wish you the best and thank you for your support this past year.  

  We did just get snow this week; very unusual for us in North Dakota!  So it's a white Christmas after all.  

  Here are two of my favorite wintery cards featuring my Life is Beautiful stamp set.

  The card above is Seaside Spray with Black & White.  The stamp set is Snowman Season in the Annual Catalog.

• Need a quick gift box for the Holidays? Use your designer paper!!

  December 24, 2020

  Are you a last minute wrapper?  I can help! I made these fast gift boxes on this week's FB Live.  Honestly they are super easy and you can make them wide or tall depending on where you score. 

  Save

  
  

  Each one is made from 2 pieces of 12 X 12" designer paper; these are from Toile Tidings which is now discontinued and out of stock.   Double sided paper is preferred and makes them extra special.  I used the same patterns for each box; flipping the pattern so they coordinated. 

  I know some of you might think it's frivolous to use your designer paper for gift boxes.  Now consider how much DSP you have stored up!  Use it; you can do it!

  And here is another version with the new True Love designer paper; all Black & White! It's from the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog!

  Save

  I colored some of the flowers on the paper with both Rococo Rose and Purple Posy Blends markers.  Then I added two ribbons; Black glittered and Purple Posy.

  You can watch the video here.   Scroll towards the end for the boxes.
