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.

    The Splendid Day suite is on the retiring list and most of these items are discounted on the Last Chance list; while supplies last.  

    I thought I'd highlight a few of my past projects featuring them.  

    The bundle is retiring in about 2 weeks; it's while supplies last. The Splendid Stems dies seen here are currently marked down to $13.60 from $34.  The Open Leaf trinkets are marked down from $8 to $3.20.  See them here. I can't believe they're still available at these prices!  

    This gorgeous Splendid Day specialty designer paper seen here is now just $6, marked down from $15.  The Soft Sea Foam seam binding ribbon is super thin and soft.  It's super easy to work with.  It's also on sale, while supplies last, for just $3.20.  See it here.  

    The Splendid Thoughts stamp set has some beautiful greetings in it; I love the fonts! 

    The colors in this designer paper are so soft & pretty; they include Petal Pink, Soft Seafoam, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Sahara Sand and Copper.

  • Cottage Wreaths gift treat bag with video; easy and uses your DSP too!


    I shared this cute project on a FB Live video a few weeks ago.  It features the Country Wreaths bundle and the Santa Express designer paper.  Here's the link to the video

    The Cottage Wreaths bundle is carrying over into January. See it here. 

    Look at the wreaths above; they're each unique, showing how much variety there is in the stamp set & dies.  

    The left is mostly die-cuts with an additional bow & berries added.  The right has the stamped wreath over the die-cut green wreath.  The bow is die-cut from Red glimmer paper. So many options!  

    I started with a piece of DSP at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". Score at 1 1/4" with the short edge at the top.  Then with the long edge at the top score at 2", 4", 6" & 8" up to that first score line.  Tip: You're only scoring the bottom of this bag. 

    Crease on the score lines and glue together.  *watch the video to see how.  

    Click on the photo below to watch the video.  There are two other projects before this one in the video; all featuring the Cottage Wreaths bundle.

  • Awesome fundraiser last weekend!


    Last Saturday we held a big fundraiser for two of my favorite local charitable organizations here in Minot, ND. It was an amazing success because of the many donations & volunteers. 

    I kept feeling a nudge to do this and I knew my friends & community would join in. I was thrilled with the many people that helped pull it off.

    We raised over $3400 in sales towards these charitable organizations. Woo hoo!

    We focused on baked and craft items at our sale hoping to help people with their Holiday baking & gift giving.  A local church offered us their Parish Hall to hold it.  Here are some pictures of our goods. 


    We had an amazing group of donations. We were asked by many if we would do it again next year; and I sure hope we can!  


    Here's a little information on these two organizations:

    Hairball Haven is a local feline rescue that takes in homeless kittens and cats, provide veterinary care, immunizations, spays or neuters and houses them until they find new, loving homes.  They currently have over 100 in house & in foster homes.  An average vet bill is $20,000. They're amazing and I'm so happy to help support them. My granddaughter Eliza loves to volunteer there when she's in town.  Here's a link to their FB page and donation link.   

    Matthew 25 Project is the other wonderful organization we donated to.  They are a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost. My friend Melissa started this in Minot and 1000's of people have benefited from their generousity. It's run by volunteers but they do have rent, gas and heat bills.  Here's a link to their FB page. 

    I love this time of year when everyone feels the need to give to others.
