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.

  • Stunning Prairie Grass sunset scene with a masked moon & video tutorial

    I'm thrilled to share this amazing card with you today.  We made it at my July card clubs. 

    Prairie Grass cards Save

    I created a beautiful sunset with stamps, ink and a 'moon mask'.  I used Blending Brushes with Secret Sea, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger inks.  

    It features the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  Since I'm from North Dakota where we have tons of 'prairie' this set was a must have!  *Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it's available. It should be back around August 11th. 

    After stamping the grassy image we added a post-it note mask made from a circle punch. Then we blended the inks on little by little.  It's important to use less ink and more time to get this pretty soft effect.

    See the flap on the left side of the card above?  That flap holds down the front of the card.  So simple but a fun technique. Notice the light sponging on the greeting inside?  

    I created a free project sheet for this card.  You can print or download it by clicking on the following link: Download Prarie Grass July 2025

  • Gorgeous Prairie Grass Joy Fold card with video & free project sheet

    I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video.

    Isn't it pretty?  The colors include Fresh Freesia with Black accents. All of my projects featured the brand new Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  

    I also used the amazing Thoughtful Journey DSP seen here.  It's absolutely perfect for scene builder stamps like this one and has some of the best and easiest backgrounds to start with.

    This card is called a 'Joy Fold' – who knows why but it's actually one fold name I haven't forgotten. Basically it has two flaps that overlap each other. It gives you multiple opportunities to use your Designer Papers or textured layers.  

    The embossing folder here is called Glass & Gardens seen here.  It's unavailable right now but you can add yourself to the list to be notified when it's back in stock.
