Fun Latch Fold card with Music From the Heart


I had to use my friend Dawn Olchefske's new stamp set for January club. It's the set she designed for her million dollars in sales achievement!  It's a fabulous music themed set called Music From the Heart.  Look!

Look at this fun latch fold card!

 

The Classic Label punch is perfect to create the 'latch' for this card closure.  We did have to widen the opening a bit by punching off to the side an extra 1/4" on each side as I wanted a larger front layer than the punch allows for.  If you watch the video below you'll see what I am referring to.  

I decided to offer a choice of card themes for my gals; Valentines, Anniversary and Birthday.  I used the Heart to Heart set for the Valentine's greeting. This pretty foiled paper is called From the Heart specialty designer paper.  You can see it here. 

Did you know that you can 'play or stamp' Happy Birthday with the individual notes in this set?  Isn't that the best idea ever?! Although creating a 'guitar' from two stamps in this set is even more clever! If you have a musical person in your life you need this set! 

Be sure to watch my video to see how to make this fun fold card.  It's amazingly easy! 

Measurements:

  • Real Red 4 1/4" X 8 3/4" scored at 5 1/2"
    White inside 4" X 5 1/4", front and inside flaps 2" X 3 3/4"
    Black 2 1/4" X 8" scored at 4"
    From My Heart Specialty DSP 3" X 4"

  • New Artfully Layered stamp set with Plenty of Pattern masks; embossed grid technique & video


    Here's a card made in my series featuring the Plenty of Pattern masks from a recent FB Live seen here.  I think it's super neat!  

    I explain how it's done in the video here.  Basically I laid the mask over my card stock and repeatedly pressed my Versamark ink pad directly over it.  Then I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder & my heat tool. I love this effect!

    The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  It will be in a bundle with the Tropical Layer dies at 10% off.  

    After I created the embossed grid background layer I used a scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die-cut a piece from the center.  Then I adhered the outside piece to my Black layer and added the center piece on Stampin' Dimensionals. I wanted the Black to show a bit behind it.  

    The oval die-cut for the greeting is from the Beautiful Layers dies; also from the upcoming new catalog. Adding a 1/2" Black strip brings the Black outer layer forward a bit.  

    Below is the video with this project & lots more!

  • Easy Medallion cards with the Plenty of Patterns masks with video


    I played with the Plenty of Pattern masks on last week's FB Live and here are three cards I shared.  Follow me on Facebook here. 

    I decided to feature some of the pretty 2021-23 In Colors.  This first card is in Fresh Freesia. 

    I used Blending Brushes and Fresh Freesia ink to add the medallion to the CS. The flower in the center is made with our Shimmer In Color Vellum paper & the Dandy Wishes dies seen here.  

    The greetings are stamped on a strip of White CS.  The edges are created with a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called the Tropical Layer dies. It's a scalloped/stitched edge die I ran through twice. 

    Above is Soft Succulent with a Vellum CS flower. 

    Here's a photo of all 3 of them together.  Here you can see three of the four medallions in one of the masks. They're all unique and so pretty! 

    And next is our pretty Pale Papaya color.  The flower center is cut from White CS and the edges are curled up and sponged. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Sponged CS 3" X 4 1/4"
    • White layer 3 1/4" X 4 1/2", greeting strip 1" X 3 1/4" 

    Below is the video with these projects & lots more!

  • A Stunning Christmas to Remember card


    The picture does not do this card justice!  It's stunning in person! 


     

    I received it from Bobby, one of my Flowerbug team members.  It's elegant in the all White & Gold colors.  She added two main layers of the large pine dies; one in white & another in Gold under it offset a bit.  Then a few layered pinecones too.  

    It's made with the Christmas to Remember bundle with White, Gold Foil paper, Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots, Gold heat embossing & Gold shimmer ribbon.  You can see this bundle here.  

    The dies are called Christmas Pine Cone dies and can be seen here.
