Product used:

•  the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog.  See it here. 
• I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
• the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
• the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
• Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above.  It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

Save

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right?  I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card.  Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video.  I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

• Simple fun fold card with Wildflower Designs with video & free project sheet

  May 28, 2024

  ---

  I shared two cards featuring the Wildflower Designs bundle in last week's video. Here's one of them: 

  Save

  Can you see the simple but different card layout here? The back of the card is a full 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" layer. The Lost Lagoon folded card is 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4".  So easy but unique too.

  I wanted to use Pretty in Pink with a current color and chose Lost Lagoon to pair with it.  I think they work beautifully together. 

  What do you think of the new Dashing Designs embossing folder? I love it! 

  Save

  The Wildflower Designs bundle can be seen here.  I love the stamp set a lot but the dies won me over. There's so many possibilities with them! 

  Save

  I made the card on the right below first.  Then tried it again for the left card.  Can you spot the difference?  

  Save

  When I made this card for our Team swap my first one did not include the frame.  Otherwise they're the same. Which do you prefer? 

  Watch the video below; it's the first project I share.

• NEAT Center Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet

  May 27, 2024

  ---

  I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend.  We are having a quiet one at home, getting yard work done and also enjoying time off together. We've had lovely rain lately. The grass is green and I hope my garden takes off once the weather warms up a bit. 

  On last week's Live I made a super neat fun fold card.  This photo shows the card front which starts out as a gatefold card. 

  Save

  I chose the Wildflower Designs bundle because it seems to have everything I like in a bundle – florals & botanicals, lovely greetings and wonderful dies too.  

  Save

  The designer paper is the Country Woods seen here.  It's currently unavailable as they ran out of stock. But it should be back within a week or so.  That pretty die-cut circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  Love these dies so much! 

  Here's what it look like open:

  I was inspired by two of my team members to try this fun fold card layout.  I thought it looked quite complicated but they assured me it wasn't.  They were right!  It was just a few extra score and cut lines. I hope you'll watch the video below to see how it's done.  

  The center dies are included in the Wildflower Designs bundle seen here.  All of these patterns are included in the Country Woods designer series paper pack. No wonder it's already sold out!  

  Save

   

  Compare these cards; I changed both the front and the inside.

  Watch the video below; it's the second project I share. I'll share the first card in a day or two.

• Last set of swaps made by my Team using the new In Colors

  May 24, 2024

  ---

  Here are the last of this month's Team swaps:

  Mary made this pretty card using two new In Colors – Petunia Pop & Summer Splash.

  Save

  She used the new Unbounded Love bundle and the Unbounded Beauty designer paper.  The bundle is not available right now and the DSP is in low inventory. Popular items for sure!! The embossing folder is Distress Tile 3D. 

  Measurements:

  • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4".
  • Petunia Pop 5 1/4" X 4" & 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"
  • Summer Splash 5" X 3 3/4"
  • DSP 3 1/4" X 2 1/2" 

  Rita made this cute card with the 2024-26 In Color designer paper. 

  Save

  Her card base is White as is her textured layer although it's hard to see here.  She added a Nested Essentials DSP die-cut vertically that adds some fun interest to the card.  

  ~~~

  Lastly is Paula's pretty card; she used the same colors and designer papers as Mary's card above. Petunia Pop is beautiful with Summer Splash. 

  Save

  She used the Unbounded Beauty suite here; see it on page 54 of your new Annual catalog. It starts out as a center gate-fold card but turns into so much more when you open it!  

  It's a center fold pop up card!  I was amazed by it and thought it looked super hard to make.  She assured me it wasn't so I took on the challenge and made one on my Tuesday Live video seen here.  

  Save

  Isn't this an amazing card?  It looks so challenging to make! 

  I'm not going to share measurements for this card today since it's very similar to the card I shared on the Tuesday video.  I will post the video & free project sheet for my card on Monday.

  Thank you so much for the inspiration & encouragement Paula.  You were right; this card was easier than I thought!
