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.

ONE HORSE OPEN SLEIGH 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

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.

  • What a Fun Sketch! Check out #CC 57 made with the pretty Favored Flowers DSP

    We have 2-3 sketch or color challenges each month on our Flowerbug's Team.  I decided to use the Favored Flowers Sale-a-Bration designer paper for my version.   

    Sketch CC Favored Flowers Save

    I also used the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder and Happy Labels stamp set. Both are new in the Jan-June Spring catalog.  

    I love this sketch because it's simple and unique.  A few rectangles and a strip of card stock are your starting point. Then add other elements as needed.  My diagonal strip is going the opposite way but that's okay; sketches are a starting point that you can change as needed.

    My measurements are: 

    • Petal Pink card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • DSP 2 3/4" X 4"
    • Calypso Coral  2 1/2" X 4"
    • Evergreen 1" X 5"

    I did fussy cut a flower from the pretty Favored Flowers DSP. See it here.

    This designer paper is free with any $50 purchase during our SAB (Sale-a-Bration) promotion through February 28th.  But remember that it's while supplies last!

    Sketches are a wonderful starting point to creating a card.  I highly recommend them.  You can find many on Pinterest; just search card sketches.

    Paula made this cool card with the Dainty Delight bundle; she's so clever! 

    Jan Desert Details Karen G Save

    Her colors are Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight & Night of Navy. 

    Details:

    • She used the partial die-cut technique.  She stamped & heat embossed the flower image first and then die-cut the layered edge to match before texturing it.  
    • That flowery DSP is the Regency Park paper in the 2023 Jan-April catalog.
    • The texture is from the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here. 
    • Notice that little tiny daisy on the greeting banner?  That's the new Loose Daisy Embellishments seen here.  They are not adhesive-backed and can be added with a mini glue dot or a dot of glue.  Each one has a little leaf on it!  

    Next is a pretty card by Karen featuring the Desert Details bundle and the Delicate Desert designer paper. 

    Jan Desert Details Karen G Save

    Her colors include Gray Granite & Calypso Coral with White & Gold.  The greeting, pretty flowers and border die are all from that Desert Details bundle seen here. 

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • DSP 5 1/2" X 3 1/8"
    • Calypso Coral 5 1/2" X 3 1/2"
    • White 4 1/2" X 3/4" 

    Next is a special card made by Candace using the Lucky Clover bundle. 

    Jan Lucky Clover Candace Save

    The Lucky Clover bundle is unfortunately out of stock and not returning. The Lucky Clover punch is now unavailable.  I'm sorry if you had your eye on it!  You can still get the Lucky Clover stamp set though.  

    She used 2 different greens for her clovers – Soft Sea Foam, Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen.  What you can't see in the photo is the scoring she did on her black background. She used the scoring board on the diagonal to add a scored texture.  So cool!

  • Happy Chinese New Year; it’s the year of the Rabbit

    Did you know that 2023 is the year of the rabbit? The sign of Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese culture. 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope.

    Look at this gorgeous card my team member Ginny made for a friend of hers:

    She used quite a few new products on this beauty:

    • Stamps – Decorative Borders seen here (2023 Spring Catalog)
    • Paper – Gold foil & Real Red
    • Other – Easter Bunny Punch, Red ribbon, Gold embossing powder, Heat Tool, Brushed Metallic dots

    Here's the Decorative Borders stamp set:
