Multiple ideas for the new Meandering Meadows DSP; with free project sheet & video

Last week's Live video featured the new and stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper. I shared 4 great ways to use it from quite simple to a special fun fold card. This designer paper is a new release among our Online Exclusives. There are lots of new products out this week; see them all here. 

Today I'm sharing this card; a new way to feature both sides of your designer paper.

See how the upper left and lower right corners are flipped?  I simply marked the edges at 2 1/2" and cut off each corner.  Then flipped it over to show the opposite side of the designer paper.  

Next add a thin strip of coordinating Garden Green card stock.

The second card above is made with Balmy Blue. The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; a go to favorite of mine.  The greeting die-cut on the left is the 'All That' dies and the right is the Lasting Label punch.

• A Wonderful Serene Love card kit to go; or choose the tutorial option

  December 12, 2024

  ---

  I knew I'd love this paper when I ordered it. I was right! The patterns and colors are beautiful.

  I created a fantastic group of cards featuring the Serene Love DSP (new release this month). All but 4 of the 5 designs are fun folds. Aren't they pretty? 

  Save

  I added Pretty in Pink as an accent since it works wonderfully with these colors.  I created 5 different cards and made 2 of each.  In this kit to go you'll receive the following:

  • 10 pre-cut cards including layers, punched or die-cut pieces
  • a share of Iridescent Pearl jewels
  • a share of Pretty in Pink ribbon
  • the PDF tutorial with photos, directions, measurements and a supplies list

  This kit to go is $31 and will be sent to you via Priority mail at the end of December. You can reserve your kit to go here.

  The PDF tutorial is available separately here for $16. It is sent to you via email immediately after payment. 

  You will need a few ink colors, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper. The colors include Petal Pink, Pool Party, Misty Moonlight and Fresh Freesia. 

  *This is the kit my subscribers will receive in December. 

  I'll share the other kit to go Friday.  Or click here to see them both now.  You'll save on shipping if you order more than one kit.

• Super Easy Fun Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  I shared this simple but unique fun fold card on last week's Live video.  It's a great card fold and makes great use of your designer paper too.  

  Save

  It's called a back fold and is so easy to make! The greeting layers are adhered to the right edge of this card. It holds the left flap closed but opens easily since there is a scored line. I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done. 

  It features our Take a Bow designer series paper from the Holiday catalog.  I also used the Christmas Labels bundle for my greeting image and die-cut. 

  Save

  The White die-cut is from the set of dies but it was quite easy to layer a red shape under it.  I fussy cut the upper & lower edges to match. The green glimmer die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops dies and our Festive Glimmer paper.

  Below is the video I made for this card and another diagonal fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper!  I hope you watch and make some.

  I shared this super cute fun fold card on last week's Live video. It has lots of layers but it's so easy to make!  

  Save

  Besides the bright, happy holiday colors in the Take a Bow DSP I love that this fun fold uses your cardstock efficiently. Each diagonally cut card base is one half of an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of CS. I forgot to take a photo of this aspect but I do share it in the video seen here. 

  Below is a photo that shows how it opens and the pocket available for the optional gift card.

  My colors include Real Red & Garden Green with White. The diagonal layers are also easy to do.  Start with a rectangle and cut it in half on the diagonal making sure you cut it to match the diagonal. 

  My greeting & White die-cut is from the Christmas Labels bundle which is on the Last Chance list right now. See it here. 

  The Red die-cut is from Greetings of the Season dies and the pine bough die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops and made from the Festive Glimmer paper.

  I added a double bow made from Red &  White Baker's Twine and Peppermint dots that are currently unavailable but will return at the end of December.  *They are NOT on the Last Chance list so they should be available for awhile!
