Neat Diagonal Z-fold with Balloon Festoon; free project sheet too!

I created this card for my May Team swap; the theme was to use new Summer catalog products.

The Balloon Festoon bundle is a new favorite of mine. The multiple sizes of balloon dies are just wonderful and perfect for any celebratory event. See it here.

I used the 12 X 12 Pool Party 2-tones card stock for the diagonal layer. It’s 12″ X 5 1/4″ scored every 4″. Then simply cut at an angle from the lower left to the upper second score line.

The cute patterned balloons are cut from the new Beautiful Ordinary Life designer paper (seen here) and the new 2026-28 In Color Patterns DSP. See it here.

  This month one of my kits to go features the Santa Express Memories & More cards seen here.  I sincerely enjoy playing with these cards & the many extra elements included in them.  

  Besides the 10 cards & envelopes they'll make with the kit and PDF tutorial I've created some bonus cards they can make as well.  Here's a peek at them:

  There's no stamping on any of these; all greetings and layered pieces are from the kit itself.  

  Notice the cursive words and the stars?  These are wooden elements included in the kit!  I colored them with Blends markers.  They're actually nice and thin; maybe around 1/16" in height.  

  Here's a link to this kit to go. It's while supplies last; so opt in soon!

• Scary Cute ‘side step’ fun fold card by Sharon!

  October 18, 2022

  Sharon shared this card with us at our last Team Meeting.  It's adorable!!

  Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black & Granny Apple Green.  

  She said she cased it from Tammy White.  The card base is all one piece.  It's called a side-step card and here is a link to a tutorial I wrote years ago.  She used the Scary Silhouette dies for the left side and the Bewitching stamp set for the hat & boots on the right.  

  The hat & boots are popped up on the steps with thin strips of window sheets.  There is white glimmer paper behind the die-cuts on the front.  I love the say she achieved the silhouette under the Black layer.  She did this by snipping the green die-cut in half on the sides and moving it down from the top and up from the bottom.

• EASY 5 at a time cards with Leaves of Holly

  October 17, 2022

  ---

  I created a set of gorgeous Christmas cards on last week's FB Live video using my two templates.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I used the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here and these colors – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler.  My Soft Succulent card bases are either 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" or 4 1/4" X 11".  

  I did use a few images from Merriest Moments stamp set as well.  

  Here is the main template that you stamp on.  It shows the cutting measurements that give you 5 pieces for your card fronts.  I frequently use these measurements for the inside of cards; especially when I make a bunch at a time.  Instead of just 4 layers you get 5 from one piece of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock. 

  Each piece measures 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  In the photo below I stamped on the Basic White card stock (shown on the right) and then cut that into 5 pieces using the template above.  I stamped down the center mostly, leaving open areas in each section so I could stamp a greeting.  If it didn't work out (or I just want to), I add a die-cut or punched greeting. 

  To see how I did this the link for the video is here.

  Here's the other template for the colored layer under the stamped White piece.  In my case it's Cherry Cobbler. Each piece measures 4 7/8" X 3 5/8" giving you a narrow edge, but all 5 from one sheet with very little waste!  Love that!

  What do you think?  Are you going to try the 5 at a time templates?
