Gorgeous Flowering Foils projects video

March 4, 2020

Yesterday I shared 5 projects featuring the stunning Flowering Foils specialty designer paper on my weekly Facebook Live video. Every Tuesday at 11 am CT; tune in here:

This specialty paper is my top pick from the new 2nd Release Sale-a-Bration items. It's FREE with any $50 order! See it here.

Here are three of the cards I shared in the FB video. These photos do not do them justice! The colors are Silver, White, Petal Pink and Rose Gold. The greetings are all from the Rare Blessings stamp set seen here.

Save

I made a pretty stitched frame with the Stitched Rectangles dies and Silver Foil paper. Added a greeting and a fussy cut flower from the Flowering Foils paper. I sponged it with Petal Pink ink for a bit of soft color.

Check out this 'One Sheet Box' made from one 12 X 12" sheet of Designer paper! It's a really nice size; big enough to hold quite a few cookies inside it.

Score the 12 x 12 paper at 3″ and 9 inches
Rotate paper and score at 1″, 3 1/2″, 6 1/2″ and 9 inches. You can watch the video below to see it made.

Velvet Meadow gatefold card with video & free project sheet

August 3, 2026

This is another card we made at my July card clubs. It features the Velvet Meadow specialty DSP seen here.

Save

It’s a simple gatefold card. I matched most of the DSP so it created a full panel on the front. This DSP has fussy or flocked areas on it. It does feel velvety!

I also used the new Exciting Times punch bundle for the center. You can see it here.

Save

Here’s what the inside looks like. I added a strip of the DSP along with the white for stamping and signing. Then added a skinny divider of Bubble Bath for a little accent color.

Save

My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Peaceful Pine.

Save

I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it. Remember it’s a great idea to save these on your computer for easy access.

The video tutorial for this card and one more neat fun fold is below. Thanks for popping in today!

August Specials:

Update on our move to Bismarck, ND

July 31, 2026

If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.

Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.

Save

In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.

Save

This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Stunning Crossover Fun-fold card with Lily of the Valley

July 27, 2026
This pretty card was made at my July card clubs. It has an elegant feel to it with the mostly white color combo.

Save

My colors here are White with Hydrangea Hue and Granny Apple Green. I colored the Lily of the Valley die-cuts with both Blends markers and tried the new Shimmer Brushes too. The gorgeous textured layers are made with the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder; it’s back in stock now! See it here.

Save

Look closely at the layers in my photo above and note how the upper left piece tucks under the right lower piece. That’s why it’s called a crossover fold; it actually locks together to lay mostly flat. You can see how it’s made in the video below.

Save

I gave my club gals a choice of using the Barely Blush or the Hydrangea hue colors. Which would you choose?

Save

Besides the video I also made a free project sheet for you with measurements and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

The Lily of the Valley bundle is so pretty; I’m sure you’ve been seeing samples with it everywhere. See it here online.

Save

One piece of White 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock is needed for the card base and the other layers needed for this card but it’s well worth it!

Save

Below is the video for this fun fold card and one more too. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel when you’re there.
