There is also a PDF tutorial option for those who already have the products.  It's $15 and seen here.

*You will need stamps, ink, adhesives and a paper trimmer to complete the cards. I used the Stars at Night, Christmas Classics & So Sincere stamp sets and Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler & Blackberry Bliss inks. 

*I design my card kits to need mostly greeting images so it's easy to use what YOU own. But if you'd like to add on the So Sincere stamp set I offer it at 10% off along with the purchase of a kit to go

This is one of two NEW kits available this month but there are many more available too!  Save money and order multiple kits!  See them all here.

    I created these beautiful Christmas cards on a video last year.  

    Leaves of Holly cards 5 Save

    I call it the 5 at a time technique.  You stamp one sheet of neutral paper and then cut it into 5 pieces using my template below.  And the neat thing is the layers under the stamped White card stock are also cut using a template. Just 2 sheets of card stock to make 5 card fronts!  *Watch the video below or click here. 

    Leaves of Holly all 5 Save

    See how I stamped down the center of the White card stock on the photo above?  Next I cut it using the template below: 

    The first template is what you stamp on.  The one below is for the layers under the stamped pieces. It's just 1/8" larger for a nice thin layered accent.

    Next is the template for the colored layers on each stamped layer.

  • Pinwheel Tower Fancy Fold card with video & free projects sheet!

    Here's another card we made at my July Card Clubs.  I always try to feature one fun fold card and this was a doozy!  

    When they saw the many pieces they were a bit worried it would be hard.  But as we made it together they loved it!  Be sure to watch the video here or below; it's so much easier than it looks!  

    Countryside Inn both Save

    This card is super fun to play with; it reminds me of a 'never ending' card.  You can turn and turn it and see something new each time. But the finished card lays flat and is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" so it fits nicely in an envelope.  

    Besides the Gorgeously Made stamp set (seen here) I chose the Layering Leaves (seen here) for the pretty greetings and leaf images. 

    Countryside Inn 4 fold. Save

    I chose to feature the Countryside Inn designer series paper seen here with it's many shades of Blue.  I chose to use Night of Navy and White card stock, Navy and Boho Blue inks. 

    You can find the measurement, photos, directions and supplies list here on this free project sheet. Download July 23 Pinwheel Tower card

    Countryside Inn 4 fold Save

    Each of the 4 panels of Navy card stock is adhered to the center 'tower' made from a 4 1/4" square of designer paper. Once you have your card base created it's simple to add the 6 pieces of DSP and your stamped panels. 

    I also used the Radiating Stitches dies seen here (online exclusive) and the Stylish Shapes dies for the greeting.  The ribbon is the Night of Navy 3/8" bordered ribbon.

  • Gorgeously Made with a neat background technique & video tutorial

    I shared this card as part of my Tuesday Live video last week.  I was featuring the Gorgeously Made bundle.  Check out the background! 

    Gorgeously Made card live Save
    I focused on creating a pretty, textured background under the main image. Here are the steps:

    1. I first stamped the foliage image with Boho Blue ink onto Boho Blue card stock.
    2. Next I textured it with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. (It's one of my favorite folders.)
    3. Lastly I dragged my White Craft ink pad over the texture. Tip: use a very light touch or ensure your ink pad is a little bit dry. I LOVE the look of this so much!  

    EXPOSED BRICK 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER Save

    I used the same foliage image for the inside of the card as I did the pretty background, stamping once in full strength Boho Blue ink and stamping again without reinking.  

    Gorgeously Made Countryside Corners card Save

    I stamped the other large leafy image from the Gorgeously Made set on the Countryside Corners white die-cut. I added the print image a few times in second generation Boho Blue ink (this means stamped off once). It's layered on a Navy die-cut before adding to the card base.  

    COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS DIES Save

    The greeting is heat embossed on Navy using White embossing powder. The die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies – my go-to dies for greetings. 

    There's just something special about a monochromatic card; this time in blues.  If you're going for an elegant or cohesive look try using just one color in varying hues.  Greens, blues and browns are some of my favorite choices.
