  Today's project is one I made for two reasons.  One was to feature the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in my weekly Live video and the other was for my Flowerbug's Team monthly card swap. 

  It's sweet & summery! 

  Save

  You might wonder where I got these shapes & flowers.  Well they are both from a sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here.  Here's what the full sheet looks like:

  And the best part?  The new Inked & Tiled punch pack matches this paper perfectly with very little waste! 

  The punches are in a bundle with the Inked & Tiled stamp set here.  

  Save

  My card base is the beautiful new Bubble Bath pink.  I added a layer of Garden Green 3 7/8" C 2 5/8".  That is added to a Scalloped Contours die-cut measuring 4 1/2" X 3 1/8".  

  The greeting is heat embossed in White powder on a strip of Garden Green. Then I cut it into a 1/2" strip and used one of the punches to get that cute greeting shape.  

  Save

  
  

  This is one of the reasons I ordered these punches; for greetings.  But they sure make a sweet card front too.

  I think you could use other small images, stamped or designer paper, and do this same thing!

  Below are all three of the cards I share in the video. Scroll down a bit or watch it here.

• This cool ‘Fun Fold’ makes the most of your card stock & designer paper!!

  June 19, 2023

  ---

  This easy fun fold is so smart!  It truly makes the most of both your card stock and your designer paper.  

  Save

  How?  Well the card base starts out at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2".  Then you cut off one end at the 3 1/4" mark.  This piece is then flipped and is the front panel.  So smart! 

  Save

  The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials dies seen here. I love the shapes! 

  Save

  The Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here is also used well on this card layout.  This versatile designer paper is on sale now and is the best deal on DSP we have!  You get 48 12" X 12" sheets for $25.50 in June.

  Save

  The navy layer is 4" X 3"; perfect size to max out your 12" designer paper if making more than one.  And the vertical 'yellow' piece is 2" X 4" which is a wonderful size for either 12" DSP or 6" DSP. 

  Save

  I made over 20 of these for a swap so it helped me save on designer paper.   

  I used the Kindest Expressions stamp set seen here for the greeting.  The pretty flowers – different on each card – are from the Paper Florist dies seen here. 

  Save

  Here's the link to see my recent video featuring this card.  I also make two other cards made with the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper.

• Brewed for You; a fabulous guys ‘fun fold’ card with video tutorial

  June 16, 2023

  ---

  We made this special fun fold card for the dad's or men in our lives at a recent card club.  It features the Brewed for You stamp set and Brewed dies.  

  Save

  I LOVE the colors – Black, Smoky Slate, White and Crushed Curry.  This fun fold looks complicated but it's super easy!  

  Start out with a gatefold card, then you need a Black cardstock square and die-cut a square from the center.  Adhere the frame on one side and the solid square to the other. 

  Save

  It's fun to play with too.  We stamped the bottle, glass and spatter using Versamark ink onto the front of the card base.  Then added two strips of textured Crushed Curry card stock to each side. 

  Save
