Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon & Pumpkin Pie.

She textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Plaid 3D embossing folder. The circle is about 2 1/2″ around and is a Stylish Shapes die-cut as well as the greeting die-cut.

And lastly today is a perfectly Autumn card made by Gwen. It’s her first time swapping! She did a wonderful job!

Save

Each of these cards features the More Than Autumn bundle and they’re all so unique. It’s a pretty big bundle with a wide variety of images and dies. She used the new Gathering Together specialty paper seen here. She added a center strip under her images that’s 1 3/4″ wide. Cajun Craze with Very Vanilla are her card stock colors. The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies.

Thanks for stopping in; I hope you enjoyed the card swaps today. I’ll share more soon!

• Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!

  December 13, 2021

  ---

  We made these cards on FB Live Monday night.  What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video.

  I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here.  One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color! 

  Tips: 

  • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
  • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
  • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
  • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
  • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
  • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
  • Add a greeting and accents if desired.

  You might wonder where this greeting is from.  It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'.  It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper.  It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February.  Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period. 

  The other new items here is a punch.  Can you spot it?  It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch.  The large leaf and the 'buds' too.

• Last of the unique ‘Gift Card’ ideas with video!

  December 10, 2021

  ---

  I've shared two other special gift card ideas and today I have another.  It's the last one I shared in this video. 

  It features the Penguin Place bundle seen here.   And it's now available but on low inventory; once more.  The punch was out of stock for a long time.

  This penguin is super cute and quite versatile.  Certainly not just for Christmas!

  Details:

  • His main body is punched out of Black glitter paper. 
  • I fussy cut his scarf from Heartwarming Hugs DSP. 
  • I stamped the snowflakes on the Black CS using our White Craft ink.  

  This card opens up like this:

  There's a fold inside that brings up the 'gift card' when you lift up the card front.  I did use Thick White CS for this so it stands up to lots of use. Isn't it fun?  It's quite easy too!

• Extra special Gift Card idea with a pop up ‘gift bag’ inside the card!

  December 9, 2021

  ---

  Here's another gift card idea for you.  It looks harder than it is; honestly! It's a 'gift bag' inside the card! 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  
  

  Here's the front view:  I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday.  I love it when I can use my paper efficiently! 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I kept the front very simple as you can see.  The greetings are from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set seen here.

  I even added 'tissue' using the Ever Eden cotton paper!  It's a 6" piece I folded into points. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  
  

  I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out.  Measurements are included.

  Pop-up Gift Bag card measurements:

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11"
  • White – two at 4" X 5 1/4"
  • DSP 4” X 5 ¼” cut one section off diagonally
  • Purse 4” X 9 ½” scored on the 4” side at ½” & 3”, scored on the long side at ½”, 1”, 4 ½”, 5”, 5 ½” & 9”

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  
  

  Below is the video for 3 different gift card options.  I'll share details on one more unique card tomorrow.
