Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!


We made these cards on FB Live Monday night.  What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video. 

I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here.  One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color! 

Tips: 

  • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
  • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
  • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
  • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
  • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
  • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
  • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

You might wonder where this greeting is from.  It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'.  It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper.  It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February.  Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period. 

The other new items here is a punch.  Can you spot it?  It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch.  The large leaf and the 'buds' too.  

Below is the video for you:

  • A stunning Holiday card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    Here’s the other card I made on last week’s video. I loved playing with the Joyful Tidings stamp set seen here; it’s just my style!

    My colors include White, Basic Beige & Gold. Soft, pretty & classy.

    Here are the products I used:

    – Gathering Together designer series paper
    – Gold Striped ribbon
    – Low-profile dots (now retired)
    – Gold heat embossing powder
    Creative Haven dies seen here for the leaf die-cuts

    I created a free project sheet for this pretty card. Click here to download or print it.

    You can also watch the video tutorial below. I shared a neat trick to place the leaf die-cuts on the greeting circle element. Press & Seal wrap saves a ton of time!

  • A gorgeous card with the Joyful Tidings set


    This beautiful card has tons of Gold accents plus there are lots of neat tips you’ll appreciate. I made it during last week’s video.

    It was originally created for our November Team swap. The theme was to use foil or metallic heat embossing. I did both!

    Notice the background stamping on the right side; I used the Amber Autumn set with Versamark ink. The greeting is from the Ornamental Christmas set. The gold foil ‘wheat’ die-cuts are from the Amber Autumn dies
    The wreath stamp set is Joyful Tidings and can be seen here. I’ve always loved wreaths and used to collect them.

    Here I simply heat embossed the partial wreath in Gold embossing powder. It’s stamped on a die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. See the pretty gold hoop? Those are available here and are applied with either mini glue dots or thin lines of Multipurpose Liquid Glue (which I did).

    My colors include Basic Beige, Mossy Meadow and Gold foil. I textured the Mossy Meadow layer with the Wreath 3D embossing folder. I also used the Labeled with Love punch to achieve the ‘ticket’ shaped corners.
    *look at your punches to see if you can use them in new ways!

    This card is a slightly different fold because the second layer is what opens. I created a free project sheet for this card for you. Click here to download or print it.

    I also have a video tutorial seen below for this beautiful card and one more beautiful card featuring the Joyful Tidings stamp set that I’ll share Wednesday.
