Lily Impressions DSP; make the most of your paper with this fun-fold card!


Do you struggle with double sided designer paper?  What if you love both sides of the paper and cannot decide which one to use?  Well I have a solution for you with this fun fold card!

I created these cards for my March thank you's for online orders.  They feature the Lily Impressions designer paper from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  One side of the papers is all water lilies with an impressionistic feel and the other has washed patterns. The colors are bright and vibrant! 

On the above card the colors are Purple Posy with Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green. The pretty punched corners are from the Detailed Trio punch seen here.

The stamp set and dies are from my top pick for Bundles in the 2020 January – June mini catalog – the So Sentimental bundle seen here:

The front right panel opens on just one side.  It's a perfect layout for your designer paper and all you need to do is add a punched or die-cut layer across both panels.  

The colors on the card above are Pretty Peacock with Melon Mambo. I used the Pretty Peacock rhinestones as accents. 

Which is your favorite?  

Measurements:

  • Card stock is 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 5 1/2"
  • Designer paper on the left is 3 1/4" X 4"; card stock on the right is 1 7/8" X 4"
  • The inside white layer is 3 1/4" X 4"
  • Melon Mambo banner is 1" X 4 1/4"

  • Paper Pumpkin update & bonus project for The Best There Is kit


    Even though I am a seasoned stamper I still enjoy receiving and playing with my Paper Pumpkin kits each month. Sometimes I make the projects as directed and other times I like to change them up. 

    Here's one of my 'change it up' projects from May's The Best There Is' kit. 

    I used the add on dies for the 'thanks' – heat embossing it in White on Early Espresso card stock. I added on a few pieces of the Country Woods designer paper to this fun fold card.  This card was one of the Bonus Projects included in my free tutorial my subscribers received in early June.  

    Below is a peak at the bonus projects I send them each month. They receive at least 9 extra project ideas for the kits they received. 

    Click here to subscribe to receive a kit each month; read below for more details. 

    July's kit should be a pretty one; here's a sneak peak.

    We always get a peak at what's in the next month's kit.  This helps subscribers decide if they want it or if they want to skip that kit.  You always have a choice!  

    They've released a special add on for the next 3 kits as well! These add-ons are available to current PP subscribers. They also get to choose from any other refill kits or available add on items!  

    Here are the benefits & tips for subscribing to Paper Pumpkin kits: 

    A MONTHLY CRAFTING SUBSCRIPTION

    If you’re looking for a fun and simple creative outlet paper crafting might be your best option! It’s fun, creative, and handmade projects bring joy to you and to others. And nothing makes paper crafting as fun, easy, and creative as Paper Pumpkin!

    EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN A CRAFT BOX

    One issue crafters often run into is feeling overwhelmed by their project. Lack of inspiration, proper supplies and crafty know-how might discourage you from even starting a project and unlocking your creative potential!

    This never happens with a craft subscription box from Paper Pumpkin. That’s because everything you need for your project is included in your monthly art box. All you have to do is open it up and get started. You’ll be able to make cards, treat bags, gift boxes and so much more with your monthly art box subscription.

    BUILD YOUR STAMP COLLECTION

    Among the items in each Paper Pumpkin monthly craft kit is a reusable rubber stamp set. So after you’re done creating your monthly craft, you’ll have a valuable stamp to add to your collection. You even get a free clear stamping block with your first craft box. Plus, you get a different color ink pad every month as well.

    PRINT & VIDEO INSTRUCTION MAKE CRAFTING EASY

    Even the craftiest among us worry that we’ll have trouble understanding how to do a project, or that we’ll make a mistake. You never have to worry about that with Paper Pumpkin! That’s because not only does each monthly arts and crafts box come with clear, easy-to-understand printed instructions, but we also upload a video to YouTube so you can watch a professional guide you through the craft.

    KIDS CAN HELP WITH MONTHLY CRAFT KITS

    Although Paper Pumpkin makes craft boxes for adults, they can be fun for the whole family! Use your monthly craft box subscription to introduce your kids to a fun and creative outlet. It’s truly a gift to instill a love of crafting and creativity in kids. You’ll be thrilled to see how their skills grow over time. One day your kids might have their own monthly craft subscription box!

  • Pretty Friends for Life card with video tutorial & free project sheet


    Here's the 2nd card I made during last week's video with the Friends for Life bundle. 

    My colors include Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie and White. I've always loved pink & orange together for some reason. The white circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. They are in low inventory right now.

    Isn't this Full of Life designer paper stunning?! 

    The pretty designer paper can be seen here. 

    There are two 'friend' die-cuts. One layers over the other.  I cut the larger layer from the designer paper – it's an ombre effect.

    *Here's the free project sheet for you. Click to download or print it: Download Friends for Life 'Friend'

    During the video I shared a second card as well.  I had a great time creating with this bundle. There are so many options between the stamps & dies.  See the Friends for Life bundle here. It was $53 and is now $47. 

    Below is the video for this card and another; both featuring this Full of Life suite. I hope you watch it to get the many tips I like to share in my videos.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you're there!
