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.

  • Artist of the Month showcase: Donna with the Sending Love bundle


    Donna chose the Sending Love bundle for here 'Artist of the Month' showcase.  

    Today I'll share half of the cards she made and the other half tomorrow.  

    This one is a favorite of mine. There's something about the color combination. Vanilla with Lost Lagoon & Calypso Coral. And her coloring!

    Next is a card that looks just like a postcard!  

    She stamped a background on the Starry Sky 'Postcard' layer then added the best 'faux' postcard over it.  Below is the inside view: 

    Next is her amazing slimline card; it's a huge WOW!

    Isn't this an amazing scene?  She used Azure Afternoon, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite and the In Color DSP. She created the hills with the Basic Borders dies seen here.  They're half off right now at just $17.40 instead of $29.  I've used these so often and am very sad they're retiring.  

    The cloudy sky was created by using the cloud/scalloped Basic Border dies as a mask (top die seen above). She also used the Give it a Whirl dies seen here for the stitched cloud die-cuts; they're just $19.50 and were $39.  The 'Sending' die-cut greeting is from the Sending dies seen here.  They're also on sale for $19.80.

  • Look at these Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card – Fast & Fabulous!


    Do you ever want to craft & create but don't have enough time to get out multiple supplies and think up ideas?  Time should never stop you from creating!  

    I made a few of these cards on last week's Live video and afterwards made more; all in just a few minutes! 

    I didn't need any inks or stamps; I used the greetings in the card pack.  So fast!  

    I used the Sweet Thoughts card pack seen here; it's 40% off right now. And the cards & envelopes are also on sale. See them here. 

    There are times you need to make quick, easy cards just to get your creative fix! 

    I did use a paper trimmer to cut some of the cards into pieces. For instance notice the colorful striped edges on a few of the cards.  Those are all from one M & More card; I cut it into 3 pieces.  

    Who wouldn't love to give or receive these pretty cards?! 

    I used just half a package of these beautiful cards to make these 15 full cards.  These Memories & More cards in the pack are discounted right now in the Last Chance list. They're now $6 instead of $10.  See them here. 

    The photo of the cards above does not do them justice! Check out the stack on the above left.  The package includes 6 sheets of adhesive die-cuts that are fun to embellish with.

    You can use these for cards OR scrapbooking.  I shared my Sweet Thoughts scrapbook pages on Friday's post; see it here. Click here to see my pre-cut scrapbook kit (or tutorial) in my Shop.  

    You can see the envelopes behind these cards.  They are included in the cards & envelopes pack seen here. They're larger than our standard cards – finished size is 6 1/4" X 4 1/4" and are also discounted to $8 instead of $10. 

    I did add Iridescent Pearls and a few ribbons to these cards. Not necessary but always fun to embellish! 

    I hope you don't let time stop you from crafting. Add a few of these Memories & More cards or a kit from our Kit Collection for those times you want to create easily without much 'work'.
