I'm using a brand new designer paper from the upcoming Holiday catalog. It's called Garden Walk. It comes in 6 X 6" size – 48 sheets – 6 each of 6 designs.

**I'll be offering a designer paper share later this week; it includes eighty 6 X 6" pieces of our newest, beautiful designer papers – all for $37 including shipping! Let me know if you want in on this; I'm taking names now and can invoice you after Wednesday.

Here's the inside view: I saved 3 of the 4 cut off corners to create a unique way to add my greeting.

My card base is Calypso Coral as well as the ink. The stamps are both from a new set called So Sincere. It's one of my very favorites in the Holiday catalog!

I hope you join me tomorrow night; Monday, August 28th at 7 pm CT here. If you aren't on Facebook the video will be uploaded to my YouTube channel here.

2 fabulous cards with the Hand-Penned Designer Paper

July 5, 2021
I have two pretty cards to share with you today; both from my Flowerbug Team swaps in June. Both are made with the Hand-Penned DSP which is on sale right now. Instead of $11.50 it's just $9.78. See the sale on all 9 packs of Designer Paper here.

First is a card by Marilyn. She made a corner latch card. I've shared a few of those in the past weeks; it's a fabulous and super simple but special fold anyone can make. Below are the measurements.

Save

She made it even more special by adding a 'stitched' corner to hers. She used a few sets of dies here; the Triangle and Pierced Bloom dies all in the Annual Catalog. The greeting is from the In Bloom stamp set.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11", scored at 5 1/2". Trim off 2 3/4" from one end & save.
  DSP – 2 pieces at 2 1/2" X 4"
  Corner is 2 1/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal
  White inside is 3" X 4 1/4"
Next is a card Karen made using Misty Moonlight and our new In Color Shimmer vellum.

Save

She used the Penned Flower dies for the flowers and the Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped White greeting. Her card really shows off this pretty patterned paper!

Triple Pane Bamboo Beauty with a masked moon

July 2, 2021

Two-toned cards can be especially striking and I think this Bamboo Beauty card done in greens proves the point.

Save

I used just one color of ink here; Old Olive however the card base is Mossy Meadow. I did stamp off once before stamping some of the images. I made this card in a recent FB Live video. You can see it here. Or scroll down to view it on my blog below.

I started with a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of White CS. I placed a post-it note mask made with a 1 3/4" circle on it for the moon before sponging and stamping. It's really quite easy to do (see in the video)!

Afterwards I trimmed the stamped White CS into three pieces measuring 1 9/16th" wide. The tag is made with the Tailor Made Tags dies.

And here is the video where I share two more cards; scroll down to the end to see this card made.

July 1, 2021

The Bamboo Beauty stamp set caught my eye right away. I knew it would be perfect for unique background techniques. click here to see it.

I featured it in this week's Facebook Live. See it here on my FB page or here on YouTube. Or scroll down to watch it right here.

What do you think? I know some people aren't into bamboo or this Asian style but it's so my style! I call this type of set a 'scene builder' which inspires me to use techniques to create unique backgrounds.

Save

I'm focusing on this card today. The colors are Misty Moonlight, Black & White with a touch of purple. I used Fresh Freesia on the upper left card and Highland Heather on the right. I used our Blending Brushes for the background, black twine from the Essentials pack and a greeting label from the Messages die.

Save

Here's the video; click on the image below to watch it.

I'll share details on the other bamboo card soon. *See details on the yellow card here.
