Get 2 cards at a time with this special card layout & a 6 X 6″ piece of designer paper!


I shared this card on last week's Live video.  It features the So Very Merry stamp set and the Snowflake Magic designer paper.

I made a bunch of these cards for our Flowerbug's October Christmas card swap.  You might wonder how I achieved the starburst effect with the Snowflake Magic designer paper.  Keep reading plus watch the video seen here or below!

Other products used:

Vellum card stock, Gold Foil paper, Deckled circle dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Blends markers for coloring & Gold heat embossing.

Here's what the inside looks like. Make note of the little designer paper triangles inside; remember this when you see the cutting templates below.  

 

My friend Lyssa Zwolenek inspired these cards and created the template too.  She is super creative and so great about sharing ideas!

Below are a few cutting templates for you.  

 

 

Watch the video here or below to see how this is done. 

Directions:

  • You'll start out with a 6" square of designer paper. 
  • First cut is at 2". You're left with a 4" X 6" piece on the right. 
  • Cut the 2" strip into a 2" X 4" piece, leaving you with a 2" square. 
  • Next cut the 4" X 6" piece on the right into three 2" X 4" pieces. 

 

 

 

See this gorgeous Snowflake Magic specialty paper here.  

 

  • Now you'll cut each 2" X 4" strip into two pieces by cutting it in half on the diagonal.  
  • Be sure you cut each one in the same direction.
  • Cut the 2" square in half on the diagonal and then cut each triangle in half.  These pieces are used on the inside of the card.   

You'll use 4 of the large pieces and two small triangles on each card.

  • A fun way to add color to the Happy Place stamp with video tutorial


    I shared how to add color to the large ‘Happy’ from the Happy Place stamp set on last week’s Live video. What do you think?

    We made this cute card at my September card clubs. The colors include Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral & White. You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned inking on the Happy image. I used inks – Lost Lagoon for the water and Calypso Coral for the sky. For this sample I used large ink pads. But for my Clubs we used smaller ink spots. It was a lot easier this way!

    You might also wonder where I got the rectangle Perennial Postage die shape. I had to die-cut a larger rectangle twice to get this size. It was pretty easy and I share how in the video below.

    We textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Wave 3D embossing folder and the curvy leaf dies are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I love them! The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

    It’s an easy fold that shows off the inside of the card and the designer paper we added. This DSP is the Subtles 6″ designer paper which has some great patterns.

    I really enjoyed playing with this fun stamp set. I’ll share another project from the video tomorrow. See the Happy Place set here.

    I created a free project sheet for you with measurements, photos, directions and a supply list with links. Click on this link to print or download it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you’re there!

    Next is a gorgeous card made by Tracey:

    Isn’t it stunning?! Tracey loves to create her own background with stamps. It looks like printed paper! She says she stamped the flowers & leaves in 12 different ink colors!! Wow!

    She used the following stamps: Encircled with Love, Blooming Phrases, Impressions Abloom, With You in Mind & You are Remarkable.

    The leaves are from the Thankful Garden dies; the embossing folder is Exposed Brick. What a fabulous card!

    Lastly today is a fun Halloween card made by Barb:

    She used the Spooky Halloween bundle & Halloween designer paper. See this suite here.

    Her colors include Black with Daffodil Delight. She did a ton of extra work to make her card a bit spooky; notice all of her sponging….

    She colored the main image in with Blends markers and textured the left panel too.

    Measurements:
    – Black card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″
    – Daffodil Delight 2″ X 5 1/4″ for the left panel, inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″
