Fun Latch Fold card with Music From the Heart

January 27, 2020

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!

Peaceful Cabin card; easier than I thought!!

August 2, 2021

Tomorrow is an exciting day! The Holiday AND the 2nd Sale-a-Bration catalogs go live tomorrow. Tuesday August 3rd you can now order from them.

*If you do not have a demonstrator or either of these catalogs contact me and I'll send you them.

I wanted to have a sample of this pretty bundle at my Holiday Catalog Launch party last week so I had a play with it. I was so surprised on how easy it is to create with!

Save

I stamped everything in Smoky Slate for a soft look. The card front is mostly two pieces. The trees were stamped on the upper part of a 5 1/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White card stock. The cabin and greeting were stamped on the same size piece.

Then I used the cabin edge die to cut the silhouette of it. I adhered the tree layer to the Basic Gray card stock first. Then added the cabin layer with dimensionals. I added a few silver foil trees to the side; these are also dies in this set.

Remember you can order this bundle tomorrow Tuesday, August 3rd here.

I also used another sneak peak product from the upcoming Holiday catalog; the Timber 3D embossing folder. Of course I stamped the greeting before I embossed it.

I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on cutting these pieces and finishing the cards.

Here is the template. Start out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock AND of Designer Paper.

Save

I suggest you cut this out of scrap card stock. Make marks where indicated and cut on the diagonal. Once you have the template I first place the bottom left piece (2 1/2") over my cut DSP & CS pieces and cut. Then I use the upper right piece (3 3/4") on the remaining piece of papers and cut. That leaves me with the center piece ready to go.

Here's the video for you:
