Gingerbread & Peppermint cards – get the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial


I've been thrilled with the response to my card kits to go lately.  Obviously many of you love pre-cut kits!  Christmas is a great time to get them when many crafters are looking for easy ideas to create their holiday cards quickly. 

I chose the Gingerbread & Peppermint designer paper this month for its fun, nostalgic designs and traditional colors.  Look at the cards in this kit:

Most of these cute cards are unique fun folds too.  This designer paper is filled with larger shaped images for cute accents, or use the plaids, stripes, and swirls for candy, backgrounds, or accent pieces. 

This card kit is available through November 18th & includes the following:

  • 10 pre-cut cards including die-cut & punched pieces. 
  • $20 in product including the Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP & Red Rhinestones.
  • the free PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, directions and supply list

It does not include stamped images, red ribbon or white twine.  You will need to cut your new Designer paper to finish the cards as shown including fussy cutting some images from the paper. 

I used Real Red, Old Olive & Early Espresso inks as well as the Frosted Gingerbread & Snowman Season stamp sets.  You can easily substitute other greetings. 

This kit to go will mail out at the end of November via Priority Mail.

  • Use your nesting dies to create a designer paper window – video & free project sheet


    On last week's Live video I shared a neat way to use nesting dies to create a frame with your double sided designer series paper. 

    I chose to feature the Thoughtful Moments DSP with this neat technique. Simply choose two dies that are the same shape and about 1/4-1/2" apart.  Die-cut and then flip over the narrow frame to reveal the opposite side of the Designer Series Paper. It's so neat! 

    **This Designer Paper and many more will be on sale starting Tuesday, August 6th! Details will be shared tomorrow. 

    The leaf die is from the Friends for Life dies. My nesting dies are called Countryside Corners and can be seen here.

    Tip – be sure the color of the opposite side of your paper coordinates with the front. I chose the card base to match the frame – Pretty Peacock. My greeting is in Fresh Freesia. 

    Here are both cards shown on the video; the second card on the right has a Lost Lagoon frame & card base.  The White die-cut on the right card is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle.

    Here's the free project sheet you can download or print: Download Thoughtful Journey Window card

    The designer paper for these cards is 4" X 5 1/4" which leaves a 2" strip for another project.  I wanted to share a quick card to use up that leftover piece:

    I simply added it to the card base with a coordinating card stock strip on the edge. Then added layering circles for my greeting.

    If you're wondering about the ribbon, it's the pretty Iridescent 1/2" striped trim seen here.  I cut it in half to get 1/4" thick trim. It has been unavailable for awhile but it's back now.

    Here are all 4 cards I shared in the video you can see here. 

    Here's the video below to see how this is done plus another card idea with the beautiful Thoughtful Journey designer paper.  I'll share the second card Wednesday.

    Ginny made this cute card with the A Little Latte designer paper

    Her colors include Calypso Coral and Pecan Pie. She cased this card from Karen Ksenzahovie from Creative Stamping Designs. I like the little details of the three DSP strips under the coffee cups. Her greeting is heat embossed in White. 

    ~~~

    Mary also featured the A Little Latte designer paper and the Latte Love bundle.  These products can be seen online here. 

    Her colors include Pecan Pie with Lost Lagoon and White.  She trimmed off an inch from the left front to reveal the cute trio of die-cut coffee cups inside.  Cute detail! 

    Thanks for hanging in with us to see all of the July Team swaps!

  • Fun Summery card swaps by my Team


    This week I've been sharing our July card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team.  Our theme was thank you cards without flowers. 

    Roxann made this adorable card with the Round we Go bundle:

    See the Round we Go bundle here. Her background paper is from the Country Woods DSP seen here. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party with White. What a fun and eye-catching card!

    Lori made this one with the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Butterfly Paper Accents seen here.  

    Unfortunately the Spotlight on Nature dies are unavailable again – this must be the third time since they were released! Her colors include Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash with White. The amazing Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is featured on her background.  Love how it fits so perfectly with the circles! It's in low inventory but you can see that here. 

    ~~~

    Candy made this beautiful card with the Sketched Butterfly bundle seen here. 

    I love her soft colors of Lost Lagoon with Smoky Slate, Black and Very Vanilla.  She used Lost Lagoon & Smoky Slate Blends markers to color that pretty butterfly. She also used the dark Lost Lagoon blends marker to color her Black & Very Vanilla large check ribbon. 

    Tomorrow I'll post the last of the July Team swaps.
