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


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? 

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!

  • Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!


    Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper.  It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!  

    Playing with strips has always been fun for me.  On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long.  Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

    Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.  

    I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between.  I didn't worry about the edges at all.  After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.  

    Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper.  I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter. 

    The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.  

    Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.

  • More ideas with the Oh So Ombre DSP & A Touch of Ink stamp set; both FREE for just 5 more days!


    The end of Sale-a-Bration is nearing and I had to get one more play in with these two amazing products. A Touch of Ink stamp set & Oh So Ombre Designer Paper.  Both of these are free with a qualifying order through February 28th.

    This sliding latch card is quite unique and fun too.  My friend Karen shared it with us at a recent Team meeting and I had to learn how to make it. She found the idea from Chris Slogar.  It's so cool!

    You need the Classic Label punch, Designer paper and a few punched or die-cut images for the front and inside.

    I chose to use the flower and hummingbird images in this set.  I stamped the flower using both the outline and solid images.  For the hummingbird I stamped the outline image on a scrap of White CS and colored it in with Blends markers.  Then I fussy cut it out and added to the circles.  

    This card is so neat!  But you'll definitely want to watch the video below to catch the important 'how to' tips.

    Next is a fun card with a neat masking tip using the leaves in this set.  I stamped them in a 'round' to create a loose wreath. 

    I chose to use the Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay papers and inks here.  Watch the video below to catch my matching tip to connect the four stamped leaf images perfectly.

    Click on the video below to see how I made these and one more Fun Fold card!
