Quick & beautiful cards for any occasion with the New Horizon suite.


If your style is clean and simple I have the perfect card layout for you! Look at these gorgeous cards!

I stamped a few of the images from the On the Horizon stamp set here.  I used the birds a lot!  They add a peaceful 'movement' to the card.

I used a version of my 5 at a time template for the card stock layers for these cards.  I use this often for the inside of my cards; especially if I need a white piece.  When making multiple cards it sure is nice to get 5 pieces from an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet instead of just 4.  I get a lot of people who ask me about this template.  If you like it I suggest you save it and either print it out or save on your computer for easy reference.  

If you look closely at the cards with the trio of trees on them you'll see a 'watery' reflection. It's so easy with this New Horizon Designer Series Paper.  I shared how in the video here. 

The New Horizons paper is on low inventory at this time. If they run out the item will be shut off until they restock.  

Here's how this simple reflection is done. 

  1. Stamp the tree on the horizon line using full ink.
  2. Do not ink again. 
  3. Turn the stamp upside down and simply stamp under the first image.  Easy, instant reflection.  

Measurements:

  • White card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored in half at 5 1/2"
  • Designer paper 3" X 4 1/2"
  • Card stock layer 3 1/8" X 4 5/8"
  • greeting strips 5/8" X 3"

  • Velvet Meadow gatefold card with video & free project sheet


    This is another card we made at my July card clubs. It features the Velvet Meadow specialty DSP seen here.

    It’s a simple gatefold card. I matched most of the DSP so it created a full panel on the front. This DSP has fussy or flocked areas on it. It does feel velvety!

    I also used the new Exciting Times punch bundle for the center. You can see it here.

    Here’s what the inside looks like. I added a strip of the DSP along with the white for stamping and signing. Then added a skinny divider of Bubble Bath for a little accent color.

    My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Peaceful Pine.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it. Remember it’s a great idea to save these on your computer for easy access.

    The video tutorial for this card and one more neat fun fold is below. Thanks for popping in today!

  • Update on our move to Bismarck, ND


    If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.

    Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.

    In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.

    This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

  • Stunning Crossover Fun-fold card with Lily of the Valley


    This pretty card was made at my July card clubs. It has an elegant feel to it with the mostly white color combo.

    My colors here are White with Hydrangea Hue and Granny Apple Green. I colored the Lily of the Valley die-cuts with both Blends markers and tried the new Shimmer Brushes too. The gorgeous textured layers are made with the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder; it’s back in stock now! See it here.

    Look closely at the layers in my photo above and note how the upper left piece tucks under the right lower piece. That’s why it’s called a crossover fold; it actually locks together to lay mostly flat. You can see how it’s made in the video below.

    I gave my club gals a choice of using the Barely Blush or the Hydrangea hue colors. Which would you choose?

    Besides the video I also made a free project sheet for you with measurements and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

    The Lily of the Valley bundle is so pretty; I’m sure you’ve been seeing samples with it everywhere. See it here online.

    One piece of White 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock is needed for the card base and the other layers needed for this card but it’s well worth it!

    Below is the video for this fun fold card and one more too. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel when you’re there.
