Join me for a Free Fun Fold card class – Live tonight!


We're making this neat Tuck & Fold 'Peek-a-Boo' card tonight on my Facebook Page here.  It starts at 7:30 pm CT Monday evening.  

I encourage my followers to prep their pieces ahead of time and create along with me on the Live video. 

You'll need the following pieces & tools:

  • Designer paper 6 X 6". Score it at 1 1/2" on all 4 sides.  Cut off all 4 corners. 
  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
  • Front & inside layers 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Greeting for front
  • White layer inside the DSP fold – 2 3/4" square 
  • Embellishments, adhesive, stamps & ink as desired 

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. 

Oh; did you spy the new embossing folder? It's called Distressed Tile; it is in the upcoming Holiday catalog.  

The 'Celebrate' die-cut is from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.

  • Queen Anne’s Lace cards


    I was playing with the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set and was in the mood for purple.  I combined Gorgeous Grape with Purple Posy to make the card below.

    There are just three pieces on this card but it looks like there's more!  Sometimes you don't need to add an extra layer for the sentiment. You can stamp it on the main piece below the image usually divided by a ribbon.  But this time I added the flower image on an additional layer of Purple Posy for an extra layered look.

    This Queen Anne's Lace stamp set is one of two you get free this month when you purchase the Starter Kit.  Read about that here!  It's such a great deal with over $75 in free product!  Pay just $99 and get $200!  And FREE Shipping too!  

    I added a piece of the Brights DSP on the left.  That tricolor ribbon sure brings it all together!  Tying a knot and securing the ends in the back is easy and with soft ribbon there isn't a thick bump at all. 

    Measurements:

    • Gorgeous Grape main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4"
    • Purple Posy 2 3/4" X 3" tall
    • Whisper White 4 1/4" X 3" 

    I also made this additional card on the right using a sketch I found.  It's very similar but this time I stamped all on one layer and added a 3/4" strip of Playing with Patterns Designer paper between the main image and the greeting. Easy! 

    Hopefully these easy cards inspire you to stamp this week.  Using two shades of the same color sure makes it easy to choose colors!  Think of blues, pinks, greens, etc.

  • Life is Beautiful Halloween card; masking & bats galore!


    Fall is in the air around here in North Dakota.  Each week it's getting cooler, the leaves are changing and it's getting dark so early! That means Halloween is coming soon!

    I was creating squares for a Halloween framed sampler for a Team swap (see this post) and had an extra one. So I decided to create a card with it.   

    To make the square I first stamped the tree image from Life is Beautiful onto a 2 3/4" piece of White CS using Smoky Slate ink.  Then I used a 1 1/2" mask over the center and sponged on Pretty Peacock ink.  Next I placed the window/mask over the sponged area and added Cajun Craze ink in the 'hole' to create the moon.   It's layered onto a 2 7/8" piece of Whisper White CS.

    Other details:

    • The bats are fussy cut from the Magic in This Night Designer paper.  I did sponge the edges with Black ink. 
    • The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set and is on a Tasteful Labels die-cut. 
    • The main card is Cajun Craze and the designer paper strip is 2" X 5 1/2" 

    I can't wait for you to see the amazing Halloween samplers tomorrow!
