Greetings of the Season fun fold card with video & free project sheet

I'm loving the new Season of Green & Gold suite of projects that was released in the Online Exclusives this month.  Check them all out here. There are tons of online extras that are not seen in any printed catalog. 

Today's card is gorgeous if I do say so myself!  It features the new Greetings of the Season stamp & die bundle and this gorgeous Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper.

The card is a simple fold back with an extra layer added for the designer paper. It also has a textured layer on the left front fold as well.  Lots of great but simple additions that puts it over the top. 

Look at the greeting here: The new Greetings of the Season stamp set is loaded with stand alone and builder sentiments.

The focus of my projects was the new Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper and the new Season of Greetings stamp & die bundle seen here.

The stamp set is fabulous but look at the dies! Each one has a hole for ribbon or twine. But look at the sample above; they didn't use them at all. 

I shared two versions in my video; one with a gold printed piece of DSP on the front and the other with a striped one. Which do you prefer?

There is a bundle of stamps & dies that coordinate with this designer paper but I didn't order them yet. I fussy cut the greenery & bells for my projects.

Here's a photo of this beautiful designer paper; I will be featuring it in an upcoming kit to go.

• Sweet Citrus video; a Grapefruit version with optional gift card

  March 8, 2023

  ---

  We made this CUTE fun fold card at my February Card Clubs and it was a big hit!  Everyone loved the fresh color combo and how cool the textured fruit images are.  

  Save

  I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya and Granny Apple Green.  You can sure see the texture in the photo above.  Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once?  It's super cool and saves a step. 

  I show how in the video along with how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus.  Perfect every time!

  The card is a bit different in that the lower panel can be left open to add a gift card or money into.  Or seal it up; your choice.

• Sweet Citrus bundle with a Hybrid embossing folder; you can texture & cut at the same time!

  March 7, 2023

  In a recent video I shared multiple projects featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle.  Every card I make with this set is my favorite!  How can that be?

  Save

  Let's start with colors – they're Balmy Blue with Daffodil Delight and Garden Green.  So fresh and spring-like.  

  The designer paper is called Country Gingham seen here. 

  The images and greetings are all from the Sweet Citrus stamp set. It comes in a bundle with dies AND a Hybrid embossing folder. See it here

  What is a Hybrid embossing folder?  It's one that allows you to cut AND texture at the same time.  You can use it the usual way as well.  But using the die & folder together eliminates a step.  I show how it's done in the video here. 

  Save

  There are many reasons to get this bundle but the greetings are a big one.  So perfect and coordinate nicely with the stamp theme.  

  Save

  I shared lots of samples in the video; I hope you watch it!  Remember to follow me on Facebook here or on YouTube here.
