Friends for Life cards; a quick layout you’ll love. Check out the free project sheet & video too

July 2, 2024

Today I'm sharing an eye-catching card made with the Friends for Life bundle. I think they're fabulous if I do say so myself!

Save

They feature the Friends for Life bundle seen here. I also used two more favorites – the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder. *Click on each title to see them in my store.

The unique Designer paper is the Full of Life 6 X 6" paper seen here. I love it so much; it includes bright bursts of colorful patterns filled with watercolor type prints. *my free tutorial of the month features this suite! See below.

The measurements are so simple. I cut the 6" DSP down to 5 1/4" X 6" and then cut that into two pieces – one for each card. I then textured it with the Dotted 3D embossing folder and added it to a narrow strip of coordinating card stock on the left side.

All that's left is to add the layered circles and friend die-cut.

I matched the DSP with coordinating card stock. The card above is Night of Navy and this card below is Shaded Spruce.

Snowflake Wishes Fun Fold card; easy but beautiful!

October 21, 2020
Here's another pretty fun fold card with the Snowflake Wishes suite of products. Marilyn made this beauty.

Save

It's a side fold card which is super easy to do!

She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for her front layers, the Snowflake Splendor designer paper on the left and the Snowflake Wishes bundle for the stamps & die-cuts. Note the pretty Glimmer snowflake! Our Balmy Blue Glimmer paper is gorgeous!

She used Pacific Point ink on the greeting and the faint snowflakes in the background were done by stamping off a few times to get a lighter hue.

Measurements:
- Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" scored at 5 1/2", stitched rectangle die-cut is 3" X 4 1/4"
- Whisper White inside 4" X 5 1/4", stitched rectangle die-cut is 2 5/8" X 4"
- Snowflake Splendor DSP 2 1/2" X 4"
