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.

  • Get inspired by these Christmas card swaps by my Flowerbug’s


    I'm sharing three more of my Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps today! I know you'll be inspired by one or more of them. 

    First is a beautiful card made by Karen. She chose the Regal Reindeer bundle from the Annual catalog. 

    She paired it with the pretty O Holy Night designer paper from the Holiday catalog.  What a beautiful scene she created!! See the Regal Reindeer stamp set here and the coordinating Reindeer dies here.

     

    Next is an elegant card made by Ginny who featured the Christmas Classic bundle from the Holiday catalog. 

    She added a 2 3/4" square of the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the upper right and textured the entire White panel with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here.  I love these layered die-cuts! See this bundle here.  It's one of my favorites in the Holiday cataog.  

    Here's the inside view of her card: 

    Paula also used the Christmas Classics bundle on her card:

  • Gorgeous Night Divine Fun fold card


    We held our monthly Team swap this weekend and I'm thrilled to share the cards with you! Our themed was Christmas cards. 

    First is this stunning card made by Roxann:

    She chose the Night Divine bundle seen here. Unfortunately I noticed the stamp set is out of stock now; it should be back in a few weeks.  She also used the O Holy Night designer paper seen here.  

    Here's the bundle: such beautiful greetings and the dies…!! 

    You can see her fun fold a little better in this image below:

    Measurements:

    • Night of Navy card base 5 1/2" X 8" score at 1", 2" and 5", panel under greeting is 1 7/8" square 
    • left vertical piece 3 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4"
    • Vanilla inside front and back are 5 1/4" X 2 3/4", greeting 1 3/4" square
    • Designer paper 5 1/5" X 7/8" strip on lower front, 3 1/8" X 1 3/4" panel under nativity, sky is 3 1/8" X 2 1/2" 

    Here's the back side; she textured it with the Stars at Night embossing folder and added a donkey die-cut.  

    The O Holy Night designer paper has been in and out of stock the past month of so.  It's currently back in stock!

  • Artist of the Month projects with the Bag of Bones suite!


    Our Artist of the Month for September was Candy who chose the Bag of Bones bundle. She did an incredible job on her projects! 

    The suite is no longer available because the Glow in the Dark bats & ghosts have been discontinued. This means you can still get everything else individually. 

    First is a card showing off both the Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer paper.

    She tore her paper and pieces it on her card base.  Then she stamped the skeleton using Versmark onto Black card stock heat embossing it with White embossing powder. Love the boots and hat on him!  The circles are die-cuts from the new Deckled Circle dies in the 2023 Holiday catalog.  

    Here's the Them Bones designer paper: 

    Next is a neat monochromatic card in Basic Gray and Gray Granite.  She stamped the background with the skeleton bones!

    The tombstone, fence, bats, cat and dog are all die-cuts from the Bag of Bones bundle. The dog and cat are stamped on our Glow in the Dark specialty paper.  You must use Stazon in for this or it may run. She sponged on gray ink onto the tombstone and fence for a 'spooky' look.  

    Next is a cute treat holder made with that same tombstone die-cut.  She simply added a few strips of card stock inside the two die-cuts to create a pouch.  

     

     

     

     

    This card is so fun; she featured a panel from the Them Bones designer paper to show off the dancing skeleton.  Love his suspenders, hat and bow tie!!  

    These skeletons are all heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. You can see a few of the glow in the dark bats and ghosts here.  Unfortunately they are sold out now and will not return.  

    Here's a slimline card showing off more of the Them Bones designer paper.  Her colors are Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. 

    Isn't it cute how the skeleton on the bottom has his dog on a leash?!  

    This next card shows off a neat background effect.  She used the Deckled Circle dies 

    The background is made by sponging on the houndstooth mask (Abundant Beauty decorative masks) then debossed it with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. She then dragged the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across it.  Cool!  

    Didn't she create a fabulous group of projects. She truly showcased this Halloween suite wonderfully!  Fantastic job Candy!!!
