Poetic Expression fun fold swap card

Last week I shared this image on Facebook.  It was a bit of a tease to guess what the finished card would be like. 

Save

It has Pool Party, White, Lost Lagoon and some Poetic Expressions designer paper (retiring in April). 

It also shows the greeting die-cut from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder seen here.  I feel like it makes my greetings extra special.  They're a pretty font and give texture and dimension to your projects. (I shared how to use this folder here in a video.)

Save

And that is the finished card.  I made 12 of these for an organized fun fold swap. I am a huge fan of monochromatic cards and these colors are at the top of my favorites list.  

The tag is from the Something Fancy dies seen here.  I love the many label & greeting shapes this set has.

Here's the inside view. 

Measurements are so simple!  Once you cut off the end of the card front you flip it 90 degrees and use it as the front layer. 

• Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4"
• DSP – 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3" 
• Inside White 5 1/4" X 4" 

Here's the inside view.  This greeting is from the Simply Zinnia set seen here.

• Expressions in Kindness kit is back! And the sale ends today!

  October 31, 2024

  ---

  The Expressions in Kindness card kit is gorgeous! Look at these stunning cards…..

  Save

  This beautiful kit has been out of stock for many weeks.  I'm so glad it's back in time for the kit promotion.  It was $23 and is now $20.70 but that price ends today!  See it here. 

  The kit is meant to make 8 cards but one set of the card bases is printed on both sides.  I couldn't waste it so I trimmed it to add to both White & Blackberry Bliss card bases.  I did have to add two greeting labels to get 12 finished cards but that's all I added besides extra envelopes.  

  Save

  Here are the other 2 sets of cards; I didn't change much.

  Save

  Our kits are all inclusive which means everything is included including a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, envelopes, gems, ribbon and adhesives. 

  Even though I consider myself an experienced stamper I love our kits.  They give me a chance to create without a lot of prep or planning.  They're great for gifts or last minute crafting.

• Last of our Team swaps include a neat technique and a fun fold

  October 30, 2024

  ---

  Today I'm sharing the last three card swaps from my Team in October.  Our theme was winter or Christmas. 

  First is Roxann's card. It's a Christmas village scene! 

  Save

  She used the Yuletide Village stamp set seen here.  She also used the Falling Snow background stamp; which she heat embossed with White powder. 

  She fussy cut all of these homes, church and trees!  It's so pretty and real looking!  

  ~~~

  Next is a fantastic technique made by Tracey.  You might think she used designer paper here….. 

  Save

  It's not! She made her own stamped background using watercolor paper and three colors of ink. Here's how she did it:

  She thoroughly wet the watercolor paper before stamping the snowflake images in the following inks: Pool Party (looks like green here), Balmy Blue & Boho Blue. When you stamp on the wet paper the ink travels and blends together but leaves a faint impression of the snowflake images sometimes.  Simply gorgeous!

  The snowflake die-cuts are from the Frozen Edges dies seen here. The greeting and snowflake images are from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here. 

  Measurements of the layers are as follows:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4", Textured white layer 5 3/8" X 4 1/8", greeting strip 5 1/2" X 1"
  • Blue background is 4 1/8" X 3 1/4"
  • Watercolor paper strips – left to right – 1/2" X 3 1/2", 3/4" X 3 1/2", 1" X 3 1/2" and 1 1/2" X 3 1/2" 

  ~~~

  Next is a pretty fun fold made by Rita. 

  Save

  She used the Winter Meadow designer paper and the Encircled in Nature dies (seen here) for her trees.  The front panel (White) is adhered to a flap that is part of the card base.  It's a neat fold! 

  Her card base measures 11" X 4 1/4", score at 2 1/4" & 5 1/2". Then make a mark at 1" from the top and 1" from the bottom on the 2 1/4" score line. You'll trim off the outer portion and that creates a flap for the White layer which measures 3 1/4" X 2".

  Thank you to all of my Flowerbug's for creating incredible cards for our October card swap.  My gals are super talented!!
