I really did play with the ‘Playing with Patterns’! Check out the video!

I had a lot of fun mixing up the patterns in this super cute designer paper on a Facebook Live video.  *See it below. 

First is a play on triangles. These pieces are just 3/4" wide X 3" long! What a fun way to use your scraps!!

Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one.  Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4".  Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.  

The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set.  See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here. 

Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet.  Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper!

Which one is your favorite?  The colors are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy.

I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips.   The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.

  • The Branching Out bundle is retiring! Check out this fun fold card with video tutorial!

    We made this card earlier this fall and I realize I haven’t shared it with you yet. I also made a video too – scroll down….

    Save

    The colors include Pecan Pie with Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & Shaded Spruce. I used various wood-like designer series papers for the side panel. See how it has a double fold?

    Also notice the ‘white’ snow on the pine boughs plus snow in the background. You can achieve that without heat embossing. We used White Craft ink and stamped over the pine. Easy & a fun accent!

    The stamp set is retiring but the dies are not. The bundle is on the last chance list now. Click here to see it.

    I’m glad the dies are not retiring but I have to say the stamp set is among my top 5 favorites!

    Below is the video tutorial which gives you tips on stamping the branches with the pines and pine cones.

  • Easy Holiday cards made from tags! Free project sheet & video tutorial.

    I look forward to receiving my Paper Pumpkin boxes each month. November’s Wrapped in Cheer kit featured holiday tags and I couldn’t waste an opportunity to make cards from them. I need a lot more Christmas cards than I do tags!

    Save

    I didn’t change the tag from the original except for the linen thread bow at the top. But I did add it to a Basic Beige textured layer and then onto a Cherry Cobbler card base.
    Now that is an easy card!

    Save

    To create the colored leaves inside the card I used the empty piece of paper from the kit where the leaves had been removed. I’m always looking for easy ways to add to the inside of my cards.

    Save

    There were two different tags in this kit. Aren’t they pretty?

    I used the embossing folder called Traditional Wreath 3D folder; it can be seen here. It’s discounted and available while supplies last.
    *The greeting is from the stamps in the kit.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and more information on Paper Pumpkin.

  • Wrapped in Cheer tags for Christmas

    I shared the November Paper Pumpkin kit on last week’s live video. I just love receiving my crafty box in the mail each month! Easy crafting without a plan or step it up and use your creativity to change the projects.

    There were two different tags in this kit and each one includes multiple pieces. Aren’t they pretty? The embossing folder is called Traditional Wreath 3D folder and can be seen here. It’s discounted and available while supplies last.
    *The greeting is from the stamps in the kit.

    I used the tags to make Christmas cards which you can see below. All I did was add a textured layer and a card base. *I’ll share more details tomorrow.
