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. 

Thoughtful Moments swap pieces 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.)

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.

  • Customize your cards with the Playful Alphabet!

    Who doesn't like a customized card WITH your name on it!  You won't find that at Hallmark!  Use the Playful Alphabet dies to create a one of a kind card. 

    I made this for my granddaughter Eliza. She is almost 7 and loves anything with her name on it.

    The color palette was chosen by the designer paper Playing with Patterns.  It's full of bright, unique colors and patterns.  In fact, behind her name is a piece of the paper.  The gradation of colors sure fits the card well doesn't it?  

    I used the Stitched Nested Label dies.  I cut out the letters from the White die-cut and popped that up over a strip of the DSP.  I added some Seal Plus to the bottom edge and pressed my ribbon onto that in small loops.

    Her favorite color is turquoise; just like mine!  I chose two pieces of Designer paper for the card front and separated them with a strip of Crushed Curry.  You can see these products below in my store.

  • Quarter Diagonal cards; watch on FB Live tonight!

    If you're like most stampers you have a LOT of Designer Paper stocked up.  I've been on a mission to use mine up and help you with ideas to use yours too.  There's always more we want; so here's a way to use some so you don't feel so bad about purchasing more!  Ha! 

    Below are the cards we're making tonight on Facebook Live – Stamp with Me.  It's the 2nd and 4th Monday nights each month at 7:30 pm CT.  Join me here. 

    Be sure to follow my FB page so you get notified when I'm live.

    I chose to use the Magic in the Night designer paper; seen here in our Halloween DSP in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  I love the colors of Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Black, Blackberry Bliss and White.  And as you can see some of the designs are not all Halloween!

    The greetings and die-cuts are from the Celebration Tidings Bundle seen here.  I love that it has multiple holidays and these dies are amazing!

    Here's how you create the diagonal layers; it's so easy! 

    For 2 cards, cut 2 pieces of Designer paper (or card stock) at 4" X 5 1/4". Then cut each in half on the diagonal. Next put those pieces back together on your paper trimmer to reform the full piece (just placing; not gluing) and cut on the diagonal in the other direction. Now you'll have 4 triangle shaped pieces from one 4" X 5 1/4" piece.
    I chose two coordinating pieces of DSP that would work on all 4 sides and that makes 2 full card fronts.

    For the card below I chose to use the Gilded Autumn specialty DSP.  The colors here are Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Vanilla.

    This fun, versatile stamp set is my good friend Susie Wood's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set. She created it to coordinate with the Jar Punch.  Click here to see it online.  We've been stamping buddies for years since we met at my first Founder's Circle event and always hang out together at every SU event we can.  Click here to see her blog.

    Aren't they fun?  I cased three cards she made and sent me and changed them up a bit; some more than others.

    The colors above are Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry & Early Espresso.  That gorgeous designer paper is from the Plaid Tidings seen here. I used three punches here; the Fancy Tag Topper, the Jar punch and the Autumn Punch Pack.
