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.

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!

A gorgeous Handcrafted Ornaments card with video & free project sheet!

November 10, 2023

Look at this beautiful card made with the Handcrafted Elements dies!

Save

These dies are seen in our 2023 Holiday catalog or online here. There are two dies in the set that create that pretty, layered ornament.

Save

I chose to use Starry Sky & Orchid Oasis along with the Brushed Gold cards. For the stamped bough image under the banner, I used Wild Wheat ink, stamped off once. It's surprisingly close to gold!

This card is one we made at my October Card Clubs; they could choose their favorite greeting and also the color of bow on the ornament.

Save

I used the Distressed Tile 3d embossing folder seen here.

Christmas Classic with the pretty Brushed Gold cards & envelopes; with video & free project sheet

November 9, 2023

I shared how to make this pretty card on last week's Live video:

Save

It features two of my favorite products from the 2023 Holiday catalog; the Christmas Classics bundle and the beautiful Brushed Gold cards & envelopes.

Save

I cut the card base in half so I could get two card fronts from it. I paired the gold accents with Shaded Spruce and the beautiful, detailed die-cut from the Christmas Classics dies. See the bundle here. I think it's absolutely gorgeous. It's rare that I like the dies as well as the stamps!
