Pretty card with a unique layout and new Spring Catalog products

December 30, 2025

Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It features new product from the upcoming 2026 Spring catalog:

Isn’t it pretty? My colors include Pecan Pie with Basic Beige and a small strip of the Nature’s Walk designer series paper.

The stamp & dies bundle is called Nature’s Symphony. The textured triangle is the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. The greeting is from the new Prayer’s & Promises stamp set – it’s a wonderful new set for sympathy or thinking of you greetings. The greeting is the Labeled with Love punch seen here.

I’ll be sharing lots more new product in the next few weeks. In fact, in my weekly Live video today at 11 am CT I’ll share ALL of the new products I pre-ordered from both the 2026 Spring catalog and the newest Online Exclusives too. Join me here! Don’t forget to follow me so you’ll be notified with I go Live.

This layout is simply one extra ‘diagonal half’ of a 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock added to the card front. Easy but has a unique look to it. This could be designer paper or card stock like I did here.

Below is the video tutorial I shared last week. It includes a second fun fold card as well.

3 great fun fold ideas from my Team swaps

October 24, 2024
You're going to love these fancy fold cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for this month's swap. I shared a few others yesterday and here are three more:

Lori made this cute 'gift box' card.

Save

She used the Take a Bow DSP seen here and the Peaceful Christmas dies too. She wrote the 'Merry' greeting by hand. It's like a pocket card except the top is a fold that pulls up the inside like this:

Save

Measurements:
- DSP 2 pieces of each at 3 7/8" X 4 1/2" (striped), Red is 1 1/8" X 4 1/2"
- Real Red 4 1/4" X 2" score in half at 1" (poke two holes for threading ribbon), 3" X 4 1/4" inside pocket
- White 2 3/4" X 4" inside pocket layer
- scraps for die-cuts
Next is a sweet card made by Joan who did make a pocket card!

Save

She used the Christmas Friends stamp set (seen here) along with the Deckled Circle dies. Isn't her coloring fabulous? She has a knack for coloring with the Blends markers.

Next is an adorable card made by Sharon who chose the Sweetest Star bundle and also used the Take a Bow DSP.

Save

She scored her colored Santa from center to each point and added it to the inside of her punched star window with two stacked dimensionals in the center. Love this idea! See the Sweetest Star bundle here.

Check back tomorrow for more Team swaps!

Get great ideas from our Team Christmas card swaps made with Online Exclusives

October 23, 2024

Today I'm sharing a few cards made by my Team for our October card swap. The theme was winter or Christmas. And both of these cards feature Online Exclusive products! If you haven't shopped these items yet you're missing a huge selection of products! Click here to see them all.

Paula's card is made with the Iconic Imagery bundle. I cannot believe the amount of die-cutting she did on her cards; she made 14 of these!

Save

Isn't it incredible?! Besides all of the small stamps she die-cut she also cut out nine 1" stitched squares per card! Wowsers!

Here's the adorable bundle below. Click here to see it in my store. I love the many images and the greeting labels a lot.

Save

Her gingham designer paper is also on Online Exclusive. I honestly cannot believe we haven't fun out of stock on this one. It's called Season of Green & Gold specialty designer paper. See it here.

See that cute greeting & die-cut? They're both in the Iconic Imagery bundle.

Save

Next is a beautiful sled card made by Deloris. Isn't this stunning? Did you notice she used the same gingham designer paper that Paula did above? It's the Green & Gold Specialty DSP.

Save

She featured the Sophisticated Sled bundle seen here. You can find it in our Online Exclusives. It's a gorgeous set of stamps & dies. I especially love the sled made from wood DSP and gold foil. And those skates and laces are incredible!!

2 more Season of Elegance & Peaceful Season cards with free project sheets & video

October 22, 2024

Yesterday I shared a gorgeous fancy fold card and today I have two more pretty cards as well. They all feature the Season of Elegance suite.

Save

I'll start with this one which has Basic Beige, Pretty Peacock and Gold:

Save

I love so many things about this card – the pretty dies and that fabulous Painted Trees 3D embossing folder too. I adhered the Season of Elegance DSP (seen here) to the Beige layer before I textured it. A neat trick to showcase them both.

Save

Notice the 'Merry' die-cut layers. There isn't a coordinating larger die-cut for this so I cut this in half horizontally to add a nice gold layer above and below. *watch the video here or below to see how I did it.

Here's a view of this gorgeous designer paper:

Save

Next is a pretty card featuring the Cherry Cobbler and Gold DSP in this pack.

Save

It also shows off the pretty die-cuts once again. I really like the ribbon slots in three of the dies in the set. Here I used the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler/Gold satin ribbon seen here.

This Peaceful Season bundle is a big hit with many of my customers. It has beautiful die-cuts and the greetings are wonderful as well.

Save

I'm sure the embossing folder caught your eye as well. It's the Forever Plaid 3D folder. It's one of our large folders so I could place the Beige CS on an angle.

Save

Here's the free project sheet for this card. Download Gifts of Christmas card

I especially like this layout as it truly does not matter what size your DSP layers are. Simple offset them from each other to form an interesting mix.

**Did you know you can get the entire Season of Elegance Suite for just $99 (regular price $154.75)?! And shipping is free! Add it to your Starter kit here by October 31st. An incredible deal!

Below is the video for these two cards and another neat fun fold too. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too.
