Forever Fern video; an easy trio of gorgeous cards


I can't stop playing with the Forever Fern stamp set!  It's so easy to make beautiful cards with and with some of my favorite 'go to' color combos.

If you like this set of cards check out another stunning set here; it has a kit to go option while supplies last! And a project tutorial available here. 

I made these cards and recorded it on video so you could see how fast they can be.  There are three different card layouts all using the same three colors.  Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay inks with these same card stock colors plus Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.  

The White greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.  I hand cut the larger one. 

Measurements for this card:

  • Granny Apple Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
  • Gorgeous  Grape  3 3/4" X 5"
  • Whisper White 3 pieces at 3 1/2" X 1 1/2"

I used a masking & sponging technique here and added a die-cut from the Flourishing Fern dies too.

Measurements:

  • Coastal Cabana card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  • Gorgeous Grape 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

A simple card base of Gorgeous Grape 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and White at 5 1/4" X 4".  Did you catch that I sponged the corner of the left one?  Which do you prefer?

    I was inspired to make this fun chevron card fold when my friend Susie Wood shared hers with me.  It's a neat way to use your scraps of designer paper for a unique card front.  See hers here.  

    I chose to use the Botanically Inked designer paper for my cards.

    I made one before and one during a recent live video. See it here.  

    I also created a project sheet with photos and measurements for you to print out.  I'm doing this for all of my video projects now! Download Chevron Designer Paper project sheet  

    I've used the Inked & Tiled stamp set a lot; I love the images and the greetings fit in the Double Oval punch perfectly! 

    The designer paper is the Inked Botanicals seen here.

  • Inked Botanicals Diagonal Z-fold card; with a free printable project sheet!


    Each month at my local Card Clubs we make at least one fun fold card.  Here's the  pretty card we made in August: 

    It's called a Diagonal Z-fold card.  You might think it looks a bit intimidating but it's really not.  I shared how to make it in a recent video seen here.  Plus I have a free project sheet for you as well!  Download Diagonal Z-fold card

    I textured the Lost Lagoon layer with either the 3D Basics folders or the Painted Texture 3D folder.  

    My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and White with a bit of Vellum added with the die-cut leaf (Gorgeously Made dies).  The other sprig and leaf are from the Bough punch (temporarily out of stock). 

    Below is the template I made.  You start out with an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock.  Make a mark at 3" down from the upper right and 3" up from the lower left.  Cut in half on the diagonal.  

    Then place the flat side of the card stock on your paper trimmer or scoring board and score at 4 1/4" and 8".  That's it!  

    To create the diagonal layers for each area you start with full rectangles like a normal card and cut off the upper portion at an angle. Measurements are given in the project sheet above.  

    I've used the Inked & Tiled stamp set a lot; I love the images and the greetings fit in the Double Oval punch perfectly! 

    The designer paper is the Inked Botanicals seen here.
