One Horse Open Sleigh Spanner fun fold card


I was surprised to see the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper back in stock.  It was unavailable last week but it's back now.  I featured it in one of my July card kits to go.  See it here online.

This designer paper is so pretty; it's filled with beautiful scenes and soft prints. 

It's called a spanner card because of it's unique fold – the horizontal layer spans the card from side to side.  

I added a few die-cut trees on the right side.  I colored them with Blends markers – adding brown and Gray Granite to the white. The greeting is from the Lasting Joy stamp set. 

The Gray Granite card base is a simple 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  Then you cut up to the score line at the 1 1/4" mark on front; on both sides. 

I added designer paper to the center panel and also to both side panels.  The horizontal piece 'spans' under the to side panels like this: 

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4".  Cut up to the score line at 1 1/4". 
  • Horizontal layer 5 1/2" X 1"
  • Designer paper 2 3/4" X 4" and two pieces 1" X 4" for the sides. 

This card was included in both my PDF tutorial and the pre-cut card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold.  I have just two kits left.  You can see them both here along with other kits and tutorials.

  • A NEW catalog bundle – Timeless Arrangements. And a NEW Designer Paper share too!


    If you're near me in Minot, ND I hope you'll plan to come to my New Catalog Launch party on Saturday, April 29th.  It's at 1st Lutheran Church from 10-12:30 pm.

    I have been prepping and working hard on samples, displays, special offers and more. I love to spoil my customers with yummy treats too!

    Would you like to receive every sheet of designer paper in the new Annual Catalog?  I'm doing my usual designer paper share with the new catalog. It includes 12 different packs of NEW DSP. 

    Go here to sign up for your share.  Or message me here with any questions you have. (Locals please message me to sign up)

    Check out this pretty card made with a brand new bundle from the upcoming 2023 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!


    It's called Timeless Arrangements and Demonstrators could pre-order it before the catalog launches on May 2nd for customers.  It was one of my top choices; I've made at least 4 cards with it so far and will be sharing them with you in the next week. 

    My colors include Starry Sky, White and Fresh Freesia.  I paired it with a new package of 6 X 6" designer paper called Bright & Beautiful. 

    Here's how I stamped the inside.  I used two of the foliage images on one block and stamped them repeatedly in first and second generation.

    I shared another version in my video yesterday; see it here.  This card features Petal Pink with Starry Sky along with a bit of Calypso Coral. Which do you prefer? 

    click here or on the photo below to watch the video; it's the second project.

  • Dainty Delight swap with a few new colors!


    Here's my swap for our Flowerbug's 'Fancy Border' theme.  I chose to use the returning color 'Berry Burst' with Black & White.  

    The embossing folder is called Painted Texture 3D; you can see it here.

    Tip: Need thread or twine to add to your card? I used thread from our White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon under my greeting.  I simply pulled one thread from the ribbon end, smoothed it out with my fingers, and would it into a circle. 

    The flower & leaves die-cuts are from the Dainty Delight bundle; as well as the pretty greeting.  See it here.  The stamp set & dies are carrying over into the new Annual Catalog however they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.  

    I used two NEW products on this card.  Can you spot them?  

    New items: 

    1. A few flowers are in one of our newest In Colors – Moody Mauve. 
    2. The greeting die-cut is from the new Timeless Arrangements. 

    See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  I'm so glad they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

  • Two pretty ‘Fancy Border’ card swaps by my Flowerbugs


    Here are the last two swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our 'Fancy Borders' swap in April. 

    This first card was made by Sharon. She used the Textured Chic DSP (retired/sold out) and the Around the Bend bundle seen here.

    Love the multiple curvy scalloped borders!! Her colors include Petal Pink, Soft Succulent and Calypso Coral. She also used the Two-Tone Flora bundle seen here.  This is returning in the new catalog but it will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

    Next is a white on white card made by Ginny.  What an elegant card!  

    She used the Fern 3D folder and two sets of dies – Border Basics and Stylish Shapes. Simple & gorgeous. 

    See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  I'm so glad they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.
