Poetic Expression fun fold swap card

March 22, 2024

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

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.

Snailed It; fun, colorful & adorable

March 31, 2021
This is another card we made at my March Card Clubs. I featured the Snailed It Bundle seen here.

Save

This cute designer paper is retiring and not returning in the new Annual Catalog in May. It is full of bright colors and adorable patterns. I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch seen here.

That cute envelope comes in the set of Snail dies. And quite a few of these dies coordinate with the Snail Mail designer paper too!

Butterfly wobble & Bokeh technique with video!

March 29, 2021
I'm excited to share one of my March Club cards with you. This background is called the Bokeh technique.

Save

Sponging a background is a big favorite of mine and when you add the Bokeh technique to it you get magic! I created my own dotted mask by punching a bunch of circles from a piece of card stock.

We made these cards at my March card clubs and they loved it! I used the Vine Design stamp set as well as the Happy Thoughts set; both are retiring and on the Last Chance list here.

Measurements:
- Pacific Point 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  White sponged layer 3 3/4" X 5"
  White layer (under sponged layer) 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"
  White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  White greeting strip 1/2" X 5"
Save

I used Pretty Peacock, Pacific Point & Magenta Madness inks as well as the White Craft ink pad for the light colored dots. You can see the video below. It's so easy and amazing!

The butterflies are created with the new Brilliant Wing dies seen here. They'll be in the upcoming Annual catalog but are available now too.

Save

Here is the video; I hope you watch it. This technique is so fun and unique every single time! Think of the colors you could use!
