Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion.  I love how she used them as the focal point of her card.  She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers.  She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer. 

She added even more dies to the inside!

Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.

She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects. 

Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here.  Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge.  Genius!  

The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here.  And even her gems are from this suite! 

Here's the inside view.

Measurements:

• A neat Tower card with video & free project sheet with Peaceful Garden

  December 3, 2025

  ---

  I just love this fun fold ‘tower’ card layout! It gives you lots of opportunities to feature your designer paper.

  Save

  I featured the Peace on Earth bundle and the Modern Garden designer paper. The colors include White, Secret Sea and Silver. The Peace on Earth bundle was a ‘must have’ for me because of the pretty greetings and layering die-cuts. I like that the greetings include more than just Christmas making it quite versatile.

  Save

  This Tower card fun fold is made with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock but scored 5 times across the long edge. Then you simply adhere the ends together and allow the other end to open. Genius!

  Save

  Note how the center panel swivels a bit…. I stamped one card with a holiday greeting and the other with a sympathy greeting. You can see the back side of the Holiday card here. I pulled out a Paper Pumpkin stamp set to fit.

  Save

  I love the textured embossing on the left White panel. That is from the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder seen here. I used just the side of this folder to achieve the textured edge.

  Save

  I created a free project sheet for this card; simply click on this link to print or download it.

  Here’s the tip on how the front panel swivels a bit on the fold. So easy to achieve!

  Save

  It’s two strips of card stock about 1/2″ wide and 1″ long folded in half. Each half is adhered with the fold on the main card fold.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card, another pretty Christmas card and a candy bar treat holder.

• An easy Gift Card idea for Christmas with free project sheet

  December 1, 2025

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week’s video. It has an option for a gift card hidden inside.

  Save

  Isn’t it pretty? I featured the Modern Christmas suite here with the specialty DSP and the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here.

  Save

  I just love the font on the greetings and the unique coordinating dies in this bundle.
  My colors are classy in Black, White and Gold foil. You might notice two different embossing folders on the White layer. One is the Traditional Wreath 3D and the other is the Forever Plaid 3D.

  There is a scored line on the front layer to create a pocket for a gift card inside. I used a punch to create a bit of interest on it.

  Save

  What do you think of this color combination for Christmas? I worried some might not like it but everyone at my Clubs loved this card. The Modern Christmas designer paper seen here is gorgeous with it’s fun patterns.

  I did heat emboss the greeting with Gold embossing powder and punched it out with the Labeled with Love punch. The bits of Gold foil all over this card really make it special!

  I created a free project sheet for this card and also a video with tips & step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

  You can watch the video below to see how to assemble this card. There are also two more projects you’ll want to see!
