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.

    I created 5 cute cards; one in each color using the Daisy Lane & Sweetly Swirled stamp sets.  These cards are going out to my family this week.

    I used Black ink for the greetings and swirls and the In Color inks for the daisy. The Medium Daisy punch is part of a bundle with the Daisy Lane stamp set seen here. Remember that it will not be available as a bundle after May, 2020. Even if both items return in the next catalog, bundles always retire from one catalog to the next. 

    Here's the Lovely Lipstick version:

  • Best Dressed FB Live cards

    I made these 3 pretty cards during my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live last night.  

    Best Dressed cards Save

    Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes.   Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards!  Join me here: 

    I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

    After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine. 

    Here are the details and close up views of these three cards:

  • Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

    My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month – to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color.  Here's the card I made: 

    Seriously the Best Black White & Poppy Save

    This card literally took me 5 minutes to make.  Here's the steps:

    1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4".  Adhere to the card
    3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4"  stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
    4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink.  Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
    5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
    6. Add a few rhinestones. Done! 

    You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here.  Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit!  Details below:
