I just love this project I'm sharing today!  Have you ever made a 'Bendy card'?  

Save

This card features the beautiful Textured Notes stamp set seen here.  I just love this stamp set!  The leaves are so easy to create with.  And the black & white DSP in the back is called Botanical Textures seen here.

This stamp set is in a bundle with the wonderful Textured Notes dies.  See the bundle here.  

This Bendy card is super simple to make.  The back is scored in the center plus the center white and the lower black have scored tabs on the side that allows the entire card to bend.  Be sure to check out the video & free project sheet below.

Below is one of the ways I stamped the back. Watch the video below to see another version.

• Easy Pizza Box for Note cards!

  February 17, 2020

  Have you ever wanted to gift a bunch of cards but weren't sure how to package them?  I have a solution for note cards.

  Note cards are traditionally smaller than A2 size cards; usually 3 1/2" X 5".  We have a few different note cards in our 2019-20 Annual catalog this year.  White or Scalloped.  You can find them on page 168.  Or click here for the Scalloped.  

  Coordination Product Release – While supplies last!

  I have been playing with the new Pleased as Punch designer paper a lot and the colors fit these cute scalloped note cards.  Look!

  Save

  The colors are Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Light Pink and Terracotta Tile.  I used Calypso Coral ink on all of the cards; it is very close to Terracotta Tile. 

  I used just a few pieces of the DSP on each card and added the four punches that coordinate with the Pleased as Punch to embellish. They include the Heart Punch Pack, Blossom (SAB), Tulip and Umbrella. You can see them at the end of this post. 

  Save

  This box is so easy to make and it uses just one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock for the main box.  The items I used are in the links at the end of this post.

  Here are the measurements for the box:

  Calypso Coral card stock: 7‐1/2" x 11"
      • score at: 1", 5", 6", 10" on the long side
      • score at: 1" and 6‐1/2" on the short side

  Watch the video below to see how to assemble the box and make the cards too.  Plus I share a bunch of our NEW Product Coordination items too!

• Happy Valentine’s Day! A Sweet Treat Pouch; easy gift!

  February 14, 2020

  Here's a super neat way to give a treat to a friend.  My friend Marilyn made these for her club gals this month. Many of my gals like to make something special for their fellow club members when they are hostess. I love seeing their creativity!

  Isn't it cute?  It's made from our clear envelopes!  I think it's super clever.  She found the idea online and changed it up so it opens at the bottom; no need to destroy the pretty topper to get to your treat! 

  The card stock and From My Heart designer paper are 'inside' the envelope.  You can adhere your candies with mini glue dots to stay in place.  

  Watch the Facebook Live video replay below.  I made one adding a nice big cookie.  I placed the cookie in another clear envelope and inserted it into the outer one.  I just checked it and it's still soft a few weeks later!

  Details:

  • Clear envelopes – get 50 in a package for $6.  See them here
  • Card stock topper is 3 1/2" X 5" scored at 2 1/2". Rounded with the Detailed Trio punch
  • From My Heart DSP topper is 1 1/2" X 4 3/4", bottom two corners are rounded
  • Card stock inside the envelope is 4 1/4" square
  • Designer Series Paper inside the envelope is 4" square
  • Be sure to have the opening at the bottom for easy access to your treat! 
  • Stamps are from Little Ladybug, Heartfelt, Butterfly Gala, Stitched So Sweetly
  • I stamped directly on the punched heart above; it's punched from the From My Heart Specialty Designer paper!
