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!  

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!

I created a free project sheet you can print or download for this fun fold card. Click on the following link to get it.  Download Take a Bow November 2024

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

  • More ideas with the Botanical Layers & Lovely Layers vellum with video


    Here are two more cards I made during last week's FB Live video.  The Botanical Layers bundle includes both the stamp set and the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" X 5" vellum.  

    When I saw this piece of vellum with it's multi-hues vellum I knew I wanted to emulate a mountain scene.  

    I used a direct to paper technique to add ink to this vellum.  This means you rub your ink pad directly onto the paper.  Watch the video here to see how it's done.  

    I used Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green & Orchid Oasis.  I stamped the flowers in Black Memento ink.  

    Tip: Vellum does not absorb ink.  It sits on top so it's best to heat set it or let it dry for an hour or more.  

    For this next card I simply stamped a few of the images in the Botanical Layers stamp set onto the polka dot printed vellum.  I used Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis inks.  

    I also used the Amazing Thanks dies seen here.  A simple strip of Parakeet Party card stock across the card highlights the greeting.

  • Sweet Songbirds is adorable on this cute card!


    We made this adorable card at my May card clubs; it features the Sweet Songbirds bundle and three new In Colors.

    The new colors include Tahitian Tide (turquoise), Parakeet Party (green) and Sweet Sorbet (red) along with Soft Suede.  

    I shot a video of the easy steps to create this card; I hope you watch it.  See it here or scroll down to watch it below. 

    That neat cloud border is created with the Basic Border dies seen here.  I love these dies!! 

    As you can see there are very few layers here; the stamped scene is all you need. 

    See the Sweet Songbird bundle here.  The bird & wing are stamped on a separate piece of White CS and punched out.  They're popped up as well as the sign (done on Sahara Sand CS).  

    Measurements:
    • Tahitian Tide card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • White front 5 1/4" X 4", inside is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for bird punches
    • Sahara Sand scrap for hanging sign

    Here's the video for you; click on the photo below to watch.

  • Tea Boutique card with a pocket for a tea bag of gift card!


    Yesterday I shared the cute tea bag gift box below on the right.  Today I'll share details on the pretty card on the left.

    Both projects feature the Cup of Tea bundle and the Tea Boutique designer paper seen here.  

    The card is an easy fun fold where the card base is a quarter sheet of Fresh Freesia card stock.  The Garden Green piece is the part that opens and reveals the tea bag.  Of course the tea bag is optional and would work as a gift card holder also.  

    Here are the measurements:

    • Fresh Freesia card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”, & 3 X 3” square for tea
    • Garden Green 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”
    • Designer paper 3” X 5 ¼”
    • White inside 3” X 5 ¼”
