Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

October 13, 2025

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.

This week I'm sharing our wonderful array of Team card swaps from July. This month our theme was 'thank you cards' without flowers.

The two cards on this post both feature the new Changing Leaves bundle from our online exclusives. I shared a few ideas in a recent video you can see here.

Robin made this first card; it's simply gorgeous!

Save

Her colors include Old Olive, Coastal Cabana and Wild Wheat. I love the pretty textured White background so much; it really shows off the leaves & die-cuts.

Save

The greeting & die-cut are included in the Changing Leaves bundle.

Here's a link to the Changing Leaves bundle. It includes the stamp set, dies and matching hybrid embossing folder. See the link to my video above to see how a hybrid embossing folder works.

Next is Rita's pretty card. She used the same bundle.

Save

Her colors include Highland Heather, Shy Shamrock and Basic Beige. She also used the Spotlight on Nature dies for her circles. She sponged a bit of Basic Beige ink onto the embossed layer to highlight the texture.

Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!

Save this template! 4 quick cards with the new Iconic Celebrations DSP. Video & free project sheet too

July 29, 2024

I have something brilliant to share with you today. How would you like to use two 6" sheets of DSP to make 8 easy but multi-layered cards? I used an easy template with simple measurements to create some fabulous cards. Here's one of my favorites:

Save

And here are all of the blue cards in order left to right. My colors include Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, Mossy Meadow & White.

Save

It starts out with two sheets of 6 X 6" DSP; in this case the new Iconic Celebrations from the Online Exclusives seen here. *Two sheets of 6" DSP will make 8 cards. You can opt to use just one sheet and not have any variation.

You'll cut each 6 X 6" designer paper piece into four 3" squares. Then cut three of those into a few pieces like this (one is left whole):

The photo above gives you the DSP AND layering cardstock measurement. You can find the other measurements for the supporting layers on my free project sheet.

Besides the Iconic Celebrations DSP, I used a few other new Online Exclusives products – the Everyday Greetings stamp set and the Greetings of the Season bundle seen here.

Click here or on the video below to watch how these cards are made. I share a second version in Cherry Cobbler & Mossy Meadow during the video.

On the project sheet it lists the products I used. The ribbons here are the Iridescent 1/2" striped trim and the Gold & Silver 1/8" trim combo pack from the Annual Catalog.

Click on the photo below to watch the video and see how I used the easy template for these multilayered cards.

I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups leftover from a previous project plus a stack of A Little Latte designer paper layers too. Here are some of the cards I made with them.

Save

Aren't they great? You'd never know I made these with leftover pieces! It's a fun challenge to put random layers together in a pleasing way. I really enjoyed making these as thank you's for my online orders.

Here's a photo of the cute A Little Latte designer paper. There are two sheets of coffee cups you can fussy cut. Or get the Latte Love bundle that has dies to match.

Save

I knew I needed a neutral base to add the layers to so I started out with a textured White layer added to my card bases. I chose the So Swirly embossing folder seen here. After adding the DSP pieces & coffee cups I finished the cards with greetings and a twine bow.

Save

I keep a small bag of White die-cut greeting pieces on my desk so I grabbed some of those for my greetings. Done!

I think they turned out great. Do you ever grab your leftovers to create with?
