Merry Christmas to you!

Merry Christmas! I hope you are able to spend it with loved ones.

It’s my favorite time for our family! Our kids are coming as usual and we have a good time playing games, making puzzles, lots of sweet treats and good meals too. We also play Minute to Win It games and have an appetizer showdown too!

• Gorgeous Prairie Grass Joy Fold card with video & free project sheet

  July 28, 2025

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Isn't it pretty?  The colors include Fresh Freesia with Black accents. All of my projects featured the brand new Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.  

  I also used the amazing Thoughtful Journey DSP seen here.  It's absolutely perfect for scene builder stamps like this one and has some of the best and easiest backgrounds to start with.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  This card is called a 'Joy Fold' – who knows why but it's actually one fold name I haven't forgotten. Basically it has two flaps that overlap each other. It gives you multiple opportunities to use your Designer Papers or textured layers.  

  The embossing folder here is called Glass & Gardens seen here.  It's unavailable right now but you can add yourself to the list to be notified when it's back in stock.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Here's the free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions and supplies.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Prairie Grass JoyFold card

  
  
  
  
  
  

  And here's the video below where I share two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.

• Wow; Mixed Florals Reverse Image Technique with window sheets!

  July 24, 2025

  ---

  I'm continuing to share our July team swaps featuring window sheets. 

  Look at the stunning card made by Paula. For her card swap she made a Reverse Image technique cased from Kylie Bertucci.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The stamp & die bundle is called Mixed Florals and can be seen here.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  She used Crushed Curry for her card base and Floral Impressions designer paper.  I'm so impressed by her gorgeous coloring with the Blends markers!  What pretty shading she achieved! 

  Below you can see how she also colored the reverse side so when you flipped up the card front it's just as pretty on the inside!  So neat.  I also love the diagonal slant on the front. 

  The card opens to reveal 3 layers!  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Measurements:

  • Crushed Curry card base- 1 at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2", another at 7 1/4" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" (cut on the diagonal) and two extra slat pieces to cover both front & inside of the card. 
  • DSP – 4" X 5 1/4" X 3 pieces
  • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; plus die-cuts 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  Thanks so much for your creative & beautiful card Paula!
