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.

  • Peaceful Moments bundle and a WOW card!


    Jonna B made this gorgeous card for our last Flowerbug's Team card swap. She chose to use the Peaceful Moments bundle along with the Peaceful Poppies designer series paper.  Isn't it pretty?

    Aren't her flowers gorgeous?  The flowers and leaves are die-cut with both card stock AND the Perennial Essence vellum card stock.  You can see this pretty colored vellum here or on page 169 of your annual catalog. 

    • Her colors are Calypso Coral, Black, Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade.
    • The White CS is embossed with the Coastal Weave embossing folder (my free product of the month for online orders over $65 – details below)
    • Clear Rhinestones for bling

  • Peaceful Moments in pastel colors


    Yesterday I shared a bright and colorful card featuring the Peaceful Moments bundle.  Today I have a soft and pastel card; totally different in colors and style but using the same bundle.

    Candace B made this one for our Flowerbug's Team swap.  She chose to use Blushing Bride with Soft Sea Foam, White and Old Olive.  Just gorgeous in a totally different way. 

    • White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Blushing Bride is 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" 
    • Soft Sea Foam is 5" X 3 3/4"

    She sponged the large petals with Blushing Bride.  I just love that little bud at the top of the leaves.  It's one of the dies in the Poppy Moments set.  You can see the bundle here.

  • Witty-Cisms Fun-Fold card


    The Witty-Cisms stamp set is a great all occasions set with fun images and cute greetings to match.  See it here. I created this cute card for a recent online card swap.

    It's a fun fold card with a double opening.  The Real Red flap is scored and the scored edge is adhered under the inside White layer.  The Granny Apple Green main card is standard size but 1" is cut off the right edge to reveal the White inside.  The new Coastal Weave embossing folder was used on the front.  This embossing folder is the one I'm giving to all online orders over $65 in January.  

    Sometimes with this type of fold I add the designer paper to the inside right edge so it shows from the front. This time I added it to the very front along with a stitched scalloped edge piece die-cut with the Stitched Be Mine dies seen here.  

    Here are the measurements:

    • Granny Apple Green main card 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Real Red 4" X 2 1/2"
    • Black 2 1/4" X 3 1/4"
    • 1" X 5 1/2" Granny Apple Green gingham DSP; *from the Brights 6 X 6" DSP pack seen here. 

    And more details: 

    • I added a butterfly die-cut from the upcoming Nature's Thoughts dies.  They'll be available in February in the Coordination Product Release.
    • I stamped the main image three times; once on the White punch and again on Real Red for the strawberry and again on scraps of Green. These are cut out and popped up on the main image.
    • White label is the new Label Me Lovely punch seen here.  I love this new punch!  A 1 3/4" circle punch fits inside it for layering. And oval shapes do as well! 

    You can find these items in my online store here.
