More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!

September 13, 2023

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!

More Earthen Textures card ideas

August 11, 2023

Here is another simple but pretty card I made on last week's Live video.

Save

It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle. Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon. But they'll be back I'm sure. You can see them here.

I'm not quite ready for fall yet but I do love this color combination of Pecan Pie & Pretty Peacock. A little touch of gold adds some elegance with the Gold Distressed paper and Festive Pearls. I added more detail with a stitched edge with the Stitched with Whimsy dies. That notebook die-cut edge is from the Gorgeously Made dies seen here.

And here's a very simple version with a similar layout:

Save
I didn't even add any bling or embellishments to this one. I think it needs something… maybe gold pearls?

I stamped the vase in Pecan Pie on Basic White and die-cut it out. Then added another die-cut of the handles from our Gold Distressed paper. The greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Pretty Peacock card stock.

Save

The nice thing about this layout is you can get 5 card fronts from one 8 1/2" X 11" paper when using my 5 at a time layouts. See them here on this post.

You can see more Earthen Textures cards on the video here. Don't forget to subscribe to either my FB page here to join in the Live's each Tuesday morning. Or follow me on YouTube here.

Alcohol blends technique with video tutorial

August 10, 2023

I shared this fun technique on a recent video; I call it the Alcohol Blends Background.

Save

For the cards above I added pretty floral die-cuts from the Paper Florist dies. The greetings are from the Kindest Expressions stamp set. The background colors were made with the following Blends: Left card Mossy Meadow & Lemon Lime Twist. Right card was Berry Burst & Blackberry Bliss.

To achieve this cool background you need Blends or alcohol markers and rubbing alcohol in a spritzer bottle. I used regular Basic White card stock and a clear plastic folder to work on. You can watch the video here.

I tried many color combinations; you can see some of the finished cards below plus the backgrounds too.

I shared this technique on Monday night's Live and challenge my followers to share a card featuring this technique on my Stamp & Share Facebook group. Share yours here by August 27th to get in on the door prize drawing.
