Fragrant Forest & Countryside Corners in a fun fold layout with video

December 15, 2023

I've been sharing my Fragrant Forest projects from last week's Live; this is the third one. I have a video below to watch plus free project sheets for each card too. See this stamp set here.

I chose a simple color combo of White & Pretty Peacock. The designer paper on the upper flap is the Hello, Irresistible from our Online Exclusives line.

The die-cuts are the Countryside Corners from the Annual catalog; seen here. Can you see the raised lines on the inside white? I used my Simply Scored 1/4" from each edge.

I couldn't decide if I like the clean look of the card on the lower right or the added forest on the lower left card. Which do you prefer?

Here's the inside view of the upper left card. I used the Lasting Joy stamp set for my greeting and sentiments. I find I'm reaching for this one often. See it here.

You might wonder just how I achieved inking only the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the left card above. Watch the video here.

I cut my stamp apart!

Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile! And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp. Try it!

Sweet Citrus video; a Grapefruit version with optional gift card

March 8, 2023
We made this CUTE fun fold card at my February Card Clubs and it was a big hit! Everyone loved the fresh color combo and how cool the textured fruit images are.

Save

I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya and Granny Apple Green. You can sure see the texture in the photo above. Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once? It's super cool and saves a step.

I show how in the video along with how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus. Perfect every time!

Save

The card is a bit different in that the lower panel can be left open to add a gift card or money into. Or seal it up; your choice.

Card measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4" & 9 1/2"
- White 4" X 3 1/2" for textured front, stamped front panel is 2 7/8" X 4", inside is 4" X 3 1/2"

Sweet Citrus bundle with a Hybrid embossing folder; you can texture & cut at the same time!

March 7, 2023

In a recent video I shared multiple projects featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle. Every card I make with this set is my favorite! How can that be?

Save
Let's start with colors – they're Balmy Blue with Daffodil Delight and Garden Green. So fresh and spring-like.

The designer paper is called Country Gingham seen here.

The images and greetings are all from the Sweet Citrus stamp set. It comes in a bundle with dies AND a Hybrid embossing folder. See it here

What is a Hybrid embossing folder? It's one that allows you to cut AND texture at the same time.  You can use it the usual way as well. But using the die & folder together eliminates a step. I show how it's done in the video here.

There are many reasons to get this bundle but the greetings are a big one. So perfect and coordinate nicely with the stamp theme.

I shared lots of samples in the video; I hope you watch it! Remember to follow me on Facebook here or on YouTube here.
