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.

  • Delicate Dreams fun fold cards with free project sheet & video tutorial


    The beautiful Delicate Dreams suite is new in our online products. The designer paper is especially pretty but unfortunately it’s out of stock right now. So popular! I had planned to offer it as one of my kit to go’s this month but it will have to wait until April.

    I shared 3 unique fun fold cards featuring this suite on last week’s video. We made them at my February Team meeting and I’ll be sharing them all this week.

    Today I’m sharing the double flap card (top right above). This neat fold gives you lots of opportunities to use your beautiful designer series paper.

    My colors include Mossy Meadow, White, Secret Sea and Earthen Metallic foil paper. That beautiful blue you see here is an upcoming NEW in color called Hydrangea Hue. It’s going to be a favorite of many!

    Check out this gorgeous new Suite here. Add your email to the list of any product that’s out of stock and you’ll be notified when it’s available.

    Once you open it there’s a surprise inside; another layer to open!

    I added a simple strip of the pretty watercolor DSP and a flower die-cut from the pretty Delicate Dreams DSP. This pretty paper has bronze foil designs all over it!

    Here’s the final inside layer. I stamped images from the Delicate Whispers stamp set.

    If you’d like the free project sheet for this card layout click here. You can download or print it off.

    I’ll share the other two cards in the next few days. Don’t miss them!

    Below is the video tutorial for these cards; be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Or follow me on Facebook here; I share a video almost every Tuesday at 11 am CT.

  • More Specialty Paper swaps for you.


    From easy to complex I think you’ll find inspiration among these three swap card samples.

    First is Candy’s card. She kept is clean and simple and made the die-cut leaf the star of her card.

    She chose to use Secret Sea as her card base and Vanilla as her textured layer. That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony bundle and is cut from our Earthen Metallic specialty paper seen here.

    The embossing folder is the Birch Wood 3D; the greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies.

    ~~~

    Next is a beautiful, serene card scene made by Deloris. She did a neat framing technique!

    Beautiful Gallery Suite seen here; from the Beautiful Gallery DSP to the Gallery Blooms dies to create the frame.

    What she did was to use the smaller frame die-cut on the DSP scene and then flip over that frame to reveal the opposite side as a contrast to the main scene. She popped this frame up on Dimensionals too. The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The leaf die-cut is also from the Gallery Blooms dies using the Earthen Metallic specialty DSP. Gorgeous and so smart!!

    ~~~

    Lastly is a neat fun fold card made by Lori who used a brand new suite just released in our Online Exclusives.

    Isn’t this fold fabulous?! She has a base layer of DSP under the scored layers. The scored layers are 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ tall. She scored from the top or bottom at 3/4″ from the edge up to the middle and folded it outwards. Super cool!

    This pretty DSP is called Delicate Dreams and can be seen here. The pretty flower is die-cut from this pretty DSP too. The stamp & dies bundle is called Delicate Whispers and can be seen here. So beautiful!

    More swaps coming soon!
