More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!


Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video.  If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!  

Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here. 

This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.  

My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted.  I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.  

Measurements: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”.  Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
  • Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”

Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue.  These colors pair beautifully together.  

This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers.  You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.  

The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge.  I cover that up with the inside white panel.  

Measurements:

  • DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
  • Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
  • Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
  • White inside 3” X 5 ¼”

Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here.  My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!

  • Striking and fun Black Magic technique with video!


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s the Black Magic technique!

    My colors include Peaceful Pine, Old Olive (ink only), Golden Glow and White. It features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here.

    What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!

    Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.

    On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.

    I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.

  • Pretty Fern & Flora card; with free project sheet & video tutorial


    There’s something about crisp white on a card. It gives a feeling of elegance to your projects.

    This card features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. The designer paper is called Moonlit Flora and the embossing folder is called Fern & Flora and can be seen here. Unfortunately the Designer paper AND the embossing folder are out of stock right now. Very popular products!

    I took a little creative license and added White fern die-cuts here. I love the way they show up against the Moonlit Flora designer paper strip.

    The colors include Peaceful Pine, with White and the new Golden Glow in color.

    Which do you like better? All green and White on the upper right, or the pop of the additional Golden Glow?

    The pretty Moonlit Flora designer paper offers multiple patterns: See it here. Be sure to add your name to the product so you get an email when it’s back in stock.

    I also shared a video tutorial for this card and one more using this pretty bundle. Click on it below.

  • A fun way to use your Designer Paper scraps!


    Is it hard for you to toss those small pieces of designer paper pieces? Well, if you’re a ‘saver’ I have a quick card idea for you.

    Here I used the pretty Velvet Meadow specialty designer paper from our Online store. It has velvet/flocked accents that feel soft and fuzzy. See it here.

    Unfortunately it’s currently out of stock but it will be back! Add your email to the product page so you’re notified when it’s available.

    I cut three different patterns of DSP in 1/2″ wide strips. I added them to a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock (3″ X 4 3/4″) at an angle. I left a narrow space between them all and trimmed off the ends afterwards. Then I layered it on another Peaceful Pine piece slightly larger before adding it to my Bubble Bath card base.

    Tip: Adding the designer paper layer on the left and adding the greeting strip hanging off on the right adds balance to the card.

    Here’s the coordinating Flowering Meadow bundle; see it here.

    The greeting is made with the Scalloped Blooms dies. The flower and leaves are fussy cut from the designer paper. A quick and pretty card!
