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.

Here's the free project sheet with measurements, photo and more: Download Fragrant Forest Funfold card

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?

Save

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.

Save

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!

Three neat cards with the Dragonfly Garden bundle including a Faux shaker & Fun-Fold card

April 21, 2021

I have a few special cards to share today. They look difficult or 'fancy' but aren't. At the end of this post is the video where I share how to make them. Scroll down to see it or click here.

This first card is a fun fold that opens in a unique way.

Save

It's made of two folded pieces of card stock and a few circle dies. The punched dragonflies are directly from the Dandy Garden DSP. I didn't stamp them since they match the Dragonflies punch perfectly!

I posted the measurements in the photo for you. I try to share them on my FB Live's so people can take screen shots.

Save

This next card is a 'Faux Shaker' card. I use one of Stampin' Up!'s clear envelopes to create a pocket of fun that I add to my card front. They are so addictive to shake & rattle! Watch how in the video below; it's surprisingly easy to make!

Save

This last card was made to highlight the beautiful but seldom seen Dandelions 3D embossing folder. It's so pretty and wonderfully detailed. Great for simple but elegant cards as you can see here.

Save

This card was made using Purple Posy card stock which is retiring this month. So sad to see it go! But we are getting a new purple/pink color in the 2021 new catalog called Fresh Freesia that I know we'll love.

Here's the video; I hope you watch it!

Circle Celebration; so fun!

April 20, 2021

I have to share this neat card Chanda made for her Card Club swap. I love seeing their style and what my gals make.

Save

She stamped the images from the Circle Celebration stamp set (seen here) all over her 4" X 5 1/4" White CS. Then she stamped more and punched and fussy cut them out to add dimension to the card.

I believe her colors are Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Real Red.

Such a fun and happy card. Great job Chanda!

I'll be using this fun stamp set in a Kit to Go in May; the cards are so fun!!

3 Flowering Cactus Fun Fold cards with video!

April 19, 2021

I created these cards on Facebook Live last week using the Flowering Cactus product medley seen on pages 8-9 of the Spring Catalog. But I purchased the refill kit instead of the main suite because I wanted mostly the paper, twine and felt accents.

You'll find the video below. For those of you on Facebook you can see it here.

I share a FB Live video each Tuesday at 11 am CT. Join me here!

Save

This fold is called a Joy Fold card; a favorite of mine that is basically two half cards folded into one another.

The colors are Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and White. The greeting is from Happiest of Birthdays. The inside greeting is from Happy Thoughts set in the Spring catalog.

Save

Next is an accordion style card. I kind of made this one up; trying to use just half of a sheet of card stock for the fold.

Save

This greeting die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and that embossing texture is made with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder. The greeting is from Simply Succulents stamp set in the Spring catalog.

Save

Lastly is a super simple fun fold card that shows off your designer paper well; on the front and the inside of the card. *See measurements in the photo below.

Save

The colors here are Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral and White. The pretty Coral twine comes in the refill kit.

Save

Here's the video for you; enjoy!
