Flight & Airy surprise accordion fold with video & free project sheet

I shared this beautiful card in last week's Live video. We also made it at my local Card Clubs as well.  

Save

There are so many fabulous projects and features on this pretty card front I'll list them here:

• The colors are Fresh Freesia with Boho Blue & White.
• The Fresh Freesia layer is first cut with the Perennial Postage dies before texturing. 
• The beautiful texture is from the Layering Floral 3D embossing folder seen here.  I cannot recommend this folder enough!  I rubbed my Craft White ink pad directly over the deep texture to highlight the flowers. *watch the video
• The pretty butterfly is from our Paper Butterfly Accents. We added Boho Blue & Fresh Freesia ink to it with Blending Brushes. 
• The greeting stamps are from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set.  It's one of our free choices with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.  See it here. 
• The White greeting label is made by punching the ends of a 1" wide strip of card stock with our Handmade Tag punch.  It's layered onto the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.
• See the Flight & Airy designer paper here.  It's another free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order through February, or while supplies last.
• The inside layers were also made with the Perennial Postage dies (like the front layer) 

But the coolest thing about this card is that you get a fun surprise once you open it!

There's a full strip of Flight or Fancy designer paper inside, folded accordion style in the center. This leaves the outer areas flat for adding greetings etc.  Remember there's a video tutorial to watch here or below.

You can add more labels, greetings or punches on each of the accordion folds as well if you wish.

  In the photo below the top 4 are our newest colors – Lemon Lolly, Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath and Pecan Pie. I'm so excited about them; we needed these colors!

  Tip: did you know there is a set of both card stock AND Stampin' Write markers?  You can order these without having to order entire packs of each color families.

  I'm thrilled to have some of these returning favorites back in our color line!  

  Below is my Fresh as a Daisy board.  Beautiful lifelike Fresh as a Daisy designer paper with the Cheerful Daisy bundle; pretty images and fabulous dies.

  This pretty Fresh as a Daisy designer paper is another contender for my upcoming card kits to go.  I like to use our pretty designer papers as my starting point for the 10 cards I create.  You can see the kits I have available now here. 

  And here is one of my top picks from our pre-order – the Timeless Arrangements bundle.  I shared a few projects in a recent video seen here.  

  Save

  Watch the video here (or below) where I share how to use this bundle; the designers were so smart on this one!  The way they added the rectangular anchor pieces is genius!  You can watch a video here where I featured this bundle.

  Saturday I held my new catalog launch party and I thought you'd like to see my displays too.  Unfortunately I did not receive many of my card swaps in time, but I had some and I had made quite a few samples myself. I worried my boards would be empty but I think they turned out quite well.  

  This first photo shows off two displays; from left to right – the Circle Sayings bundle, the Countryside Inn Suite, the Bright & Beautiful suite and the Little Monkey bundle.

  Here are a few close-ups of these two:

  this was a clear favorite of many.  I'll be featuring this beautiful Countryside Inn DSP for one of my May kits to go.  Many people asked about the cute baskets; I'll feature them on an upcoming video.  

  Save

  And here's the incredible Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6" designer paper.  Amazing color combos and patterns!  This is another contender for my May card kits….

  Save

  I use inexpensive foam boards from the dollar store and attach my projects with either poster putty or clips.  

  And here are my kits to go boards; I prepped extra kits for my April offerings. You can see and purchase them on my Shop here.  Remember you can save $$ on shipping when you purchase more than one.
