Fun & Simple card layout for designer paper with video tutorial


Here's one more card shared on last week's Live video.  It is a very simple layout with a bit of fun to it. 

It's simply two layers of designer series paper with a slanted greeting across it. The slant adds a bit of playfulness to the vertical layers.  

I used the Mixed Media Florals suite seen here.  It's in our Online Exclusives line which is available to everyone.  The Online title confuses some people but all it really means is that it's not in any published catalog and can be found in our online store.  


I tried another version above; one with flowers and the other with a patterned design.  Which do you prefer? 

The center panel is 2" X 5 1/2" and the outer is 2 1/2" X 5 1/2".  The Black strip across is 1" wide.  

The main panel is actually black & white without color.  I used our Blends markers to add color to it.  I love the ability to add whatever color I want to feature.  In this case Petal Pink with pops of Lemon Lolly, Black and Old Olive. 



Below is the video tutorial for this card and two other layouts using this pretty designer paper.

  • Check out these Team Swaps!


    The swap theme for my Flowerbug’s in March was to use our favorite Online Exclusive product. I’ll be sharing them today and Wednesday this week.

    First is a pretty card made by Jacki featuring the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently in low inventory; they sure have trouble keeping these in stock!

    She used White with Crumb Cake for a super clean look. The die-cut shape on the textured Sunflower layer is from the Branching Out dies seen here. One of my absolute favorite sets of dies I consider a ‘must have!’

    I also love how she added the wrap of Linen Thread around the greeting layer; simple but so effective!

    ~~~

    Her sister Jonna made this next card. Did they decide to both use the Sunflower 3D folder?!

    Her card is all Vanilla. Another clean & simple card; both are so elegant! I find when you use mostly one neutral color the card feels quite sophisticated. The greetings on both cards are from the recently retired Branching Out stamp set.

    Next is a pretty card from Kim.

    She used the pretty Floral Charm designer paper here with Early Espresso, Bubble Bath & Pecan Pie card stock. This pretty DSP will be on the retiring list in the next week or so. The beautiful leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies seen here. They are out of stock currently but they’ll be back! The greeting punch is our Heartfelt Hexagon punch seen here. I love this punch!

    Tomorrow I’ll share lots more of the fabulous swap cards made by my Team.

  • Springtime Scenes card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this card last week with a video and a free project sheet. Think of using any designer paper you own. It’s a great layout!

    I chose the Easter Joy Specialty paper inspired me with the color theme. Shy Shamrock with Balmy Blue & White. Unusual but it sure works!

    It’s a simple ‘fold back’ fun fold where you add one extra score line at 2 3/4″ to this 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base. Of course it’s scored in half at 5 1/2″ as well. I cut the Balmy Blue layer to perfectly layer onto the inside White. It gives the illusion of multiple layers.

    That pretty die-cut leaf is from the Pleasant Patterns specialty paper seen here. For my stamps & the leaf die I used the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here. I love this set with the neat dies and stamps.

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it.
