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!

So Sentimental with Lily Impressions Save

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.

    First up is a beautiful card made by Jacki featuring the Sending Smiles set seen here and the Sending dies seen here

    Sept Jacki Sending Smiles Save

    I always love to see out of the box colors for the Autumn season. She used Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow and Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry.  The background designer paper is the Inked Botanicals from the Annual catalog.  

    What a gorgeous bouquet of flowers she created.  

    Next is Marla's card – she also used the Inked Botanicals designer paper.  She also used the Cottage Wreaths stamp set seen here on her main layer.  

    Sept Jacki Sending Smiles Save

    The colors include Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral – all featured in her designer paper.

    Measurements: 

    • Vanilla card base 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" for stamped front panel 
    • Crushed Curry 3" X 5 1/4" plus 3" X 4" for front panel layer & 1" X 5 1/4" inside
    • Designer paper 2 3/4" X 5"

    Ginny made this last card using the Natural Prints set and Nature's Prints dies seen on page 24 of the annual catalog.  

    Sept Ginny Earthen Textures Save

    She cased this card from Mitusu Crafts; she inked her clear blocks directly in our classic inks and stamped directly onto her card stock.  She heat embossed the 'splotches' using Copper embossing powder.  

    There are so many awesome details here – the colors are Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock and Pebbled Path.  I love the greeting shape – cut by hand I believe.

    We held our monthly Team swap last weekend and I'm excite to share these amazing swap cards with you.

    First up is a gorgeous card made by Candace that features the Bag of Bones bundle. 

    Sept Candace Them bones Save

    She added a strip of the new Them Bones designer paper seen here to her Cajun Craze textured layer (Exposed Brick) and created the gorgeous blended background circles for her skeletons. I believe she used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Starry Sky and blending brushes.  

    Her skeletons were heat embossed with White powder on Black cardstock, then die-cut with the Bag of Bones dies.  The bats on the yellow moon are die-cuts from this same bundle. 

    This bundle was out of stock for a bit but it's back now! See it here.

    Lastly today is a sweet card by Candace who featured the Pick of the Patch bundle seen here:

    Sept Candy Pick of the Patch Save

    I love her out of the box color choices of Pretty Peacock, Blackberry Bliss and Pumpkin Pie. She used the new Deckled Circle dies for the background of her punched pumpkins.  Her ribbon is new as well – a Vanilla and Black gingham seen here.  

    The photo barely shows off the pretty and new Distressed Tile embossing folder.  It's a new favorite for many!

  • Two Neat Cheerful Daisy Fun Fold cards by Barb

    Barb was our Artist of the Month for my Flowerbug's team in August and made this super neat card with the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper and the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.

    August Barb Fresh as a Daisy fold Save

    It uses a long piece of the designer paper, scored and folded to create most of the card.  She cased the idea from Patty Bennett. 

    She added two layers of die-cut daisies to the folds using layered circles as a base for them.  

    Measurements:

    Start out with a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper and score it at 2", 4" and 6".  Adhere the paper together on the score lines. Then add to a full card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Now embellish with your die-cuts or punches, layering them in different heights.  

    August Barb Fresh as a Daisy fold Save

    The inside has a die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies.  

    Next is a beautiful Double-Decker fun fold card featuring Blueberry Bushel and White.  

    August Barb Cheerful Daisies double pop up Save

    I made a card like this on a recent video; see it here.  

    This card looks a bit intimidating – at least it did to me – until I tried one.  It's actually quite easy.  

    August Barb double pop up Save

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • White front 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", die-cut scalloped rectangle 3 1/8" X 4 3/8" finished, front texture 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" 
    • White box for double-decker 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4" and form into a box 
    • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
    • DSP 4" X 5 1/4"
