Ornate Thanks & Ornate Borders with a clever fun fold idea


I shared these two pretty cards on my Facebook Live last Tuesday. (Click here to see my page.)  I made another version using the Best Dressed designer paper.  I'll share those tomorrow. 

They are made from a standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock but you add a second score to it.  It's scored on the long side at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4".

The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper!  Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6".  Cut it into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

Those three pieces add up to 6" across!  What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet! 

The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4".  I used the To a Wild Rose stamp set for the greeting. The leaves and greeting die-cut are from the popular Painted Labels dies (now available again!!!) 

Here's a close up view of the greeting.  It looks like I heat embossed it right?  

I didn't but it is sparkly!  I used the Wink of Stella pen!  It's fun to trace the stamped greeting; it's large enough that it was easy to do. 

You can find this pretty Ornate Garden specialty paper and the entire Ornate Garden suite of products here.  

This card base is Terracotta Tile; one of our 2019-21 In Colors.  I paired it with Mint Macaron card stock.  

I added an extra Ornate Border trim on the inside of the card too.  You might be able to spot more Wink of Stella on the designer paper and I added it to the die-cuts too.  See that pretty Terracotta Tile ribbon?  It's part of the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack with Old Olive.  Gorgeous soft 1/4" ribbons! 

The label and leafy die-cuts here are from the To a Wild Rose bundle seen here.

  • Another pretty card with Winterly Tree Tops; plus video & free project sheet too


    The Stamp Sale is on and ends today (Wednesday).  Get 15% off all Annual Catalog stamp sets!  Click here to see all of our stamps.

    Today I'm sharing the second card I made on last week's video. I chose to feature the Winterly Tree Tops bundle. 

    I love this color combination of Balmy Blue with Cherry Cobbler! 

    In the video I shared how to use our Watercolor Pencils along with our Blender Pens. It's a classic pairing that produces beautiful results with easy shading.  Watch the video here or below to see how it's done. 

    Click on the following link to get the free project sheet for this card: Download Winterly Tree Tops Tag

    The little white Snowflakes are from the Holiday catalog; they're called White Loose Snowflakes. Sadly they just ran out of stock but should return in a few weeks.  The White textured die-cut is from the Countryside Corners dies seen here. 

    The Winterly Tree Tops bundle is now back in stock! 


    Do you see the pretty texture?  That's done with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder. 

    Below is the video I shared on my Facebook page.  I host a free class there every Tuesday at 11 am CT. It's also on YouTube as well.  Follow me!
