Gorgeous, right? I cased this fold from my friend Susie Wood. I get so many fun fold ideas from her. Check out her blog here.

This stunning Luxe Foliage DSP is a Product of the Month and available while supplies last. See it here. You can redeem it for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 mark. There are 4 sheets of each pattern in this pack!

I paired it with Secret Sea, Gold foil and White here. On this card I used the Everyday Arches dies for the window and the Tile Garden stamp set for the leaves/stem.

This card involves die-cutting a window in the front layer of your card and reusing it on the inside scored White layer. You can catch on to how it opens in the above photo but it may help a lot if you watch the video here.

On the left card below I used a different set of dies for my window. First the Tile Garden dies to create a rectangle window. Yes; these dies are square…. so I cut a second time to create the rectangle window. The Gold textured frame is made with the Phrases & Frames dies seen here.

I fussy cut the gold/Secret Sea flower for the front layer. I love the images in the Tile Garden bundle; they have a texture to them.

• One Horse Open Sleigh Fun Fold cards with video & measurements!

  September 12, 2023

  On last week's Live video I shared three fantastic fun fold cards featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper – it's an Online Exclusive you can see here.

  These cards were featured in last month's card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold!  The kit is no longer available but the PDF tutorial is here.   You can see all of the cards in the tutorial below:

  I love this card because it shows off the full beauty of this scenic paper. Whenever I have a pretty scenic paper I want to show off  this is the layout I use.

  Just trim off 3/4" of the upper or lower edge of the designer paper and cut using the following measurements: 

  Measurements:

  • DSP – start with 1 piece 5 ¼” tall X 6” wide. Make your first cut 2 ¾” from the left edge vertically.  From that cut edge cut another piece at 1 1/8"
  • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 1 ½” & 4 ¼”
  • White inside 1 ¾” X 5 ¼”

  I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings.  It's my favorite set from the Annual Catalog; see it here.

• Forever Forest – beautiful mountains & trees

  September 11, 2023

  ---

  I created this card for an online swap I'd joined last month.  It shows off the gorgeous mountain dies in the Forever Forest bundle.

  I knew I had to get this bundle with the many trees, that gorgeous mountain die and the other options.  It's a fabulous scene builder set!  See the bundle here.

  I used Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the trio of trees image, adding a second image without reinking.  Then I added 5 die-cut trees from Shaded Spruce card stock over the stamped trees.

  I wanted to create a soft sky above the trees so I lightly added Balmy Blue ink with a Blending Brush.  I then inked the 'cloud' image in the same Balmy Blue, stamped off once and stamped in the sky.  

  The 'Winter Wishes' is from the Magical Meadow stamp set seen here.

  I die-cut two mountains in White for each card, adding them in different positions on the bottom of the stamped White layer.  After I added them I trimmed off the excess on the sides before adhering the layer to the card base. 

  What do you think?
