Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

December 28, 2020

I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend! We sure did. It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together.

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs. It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too. It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style. Scroll down to see the video.

You just need three circles of different sizes. I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges. I use these dies so much! If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here.

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets. Just one ink color; Night of Navy.

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives. See that video here.

The above cards were made with various designer papers & stamp sets. The top is Classic Christmas, left is Heartwarming Hugs and right is Snowflake Splendor.

A Wonderful Serene Love card kit to go; or choose the tutorial option

December 12, 2024
I knew I'd love this paper when I ordered it. I was right! The patterns and colors are beautiful.

I created a fantastic group of cards featuring the Serene Love DSP (new release this month). All but 4 of the 5 designs are fun folds. Aren't they pretty?

Save

I added Pretty in Pink as an accent since it works wonderfully with these colors. I created 5 different cards and made 2 of each. In this kit to go you'll receive the following:
- 10 pre-cut cards including layers, punched or die-cut pieces
- a share of Iridescent Pearl jewels
- a share of Pretty in Pink ribbon
- the PDF tutorial with photos, directions, measurements and a supplies list
This kit to go is $31 and will be sent to you via Priority mail at the end of December. You can reserve your kit to go here.

The PDF tutorial is available separately here for $16. It is sent to you via email immediately after payment.

You will need a few ink colors, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper. The colors include Petal Pink, Pool Party, Misty Moonlight and Fresh Freesia.

*This is the kit my subscribers will receive in December.

I'll share the other kit to go Friday. Or click here to see them both now. You'll save on shipping if you order more than one kit.

Super Easy Fun Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

I shared this simple but unique fun fold card on last week's Live video. It's a great card fold and makes great use of your designer paper too.

Save

It's called a back fold and is so easy to make! The greeting layers are adhered to the right edge of this card. It holds the left flap closed but opens easily since there is a scored line. I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.

It features our Take a Bow designer series paper from the Holiday catalog. I also used the Christmas Labels bundle for my greeting image and die-cut.
Save

The White die-cut is from the set of dies but it was quite easy to layer a red shape under it. I fussy cut the upper & lower edges to match. The green glimmer die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops dies and our Festive Glimmer paper.

Below is the video I made for this card and another diagonal fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper! I hope you watch and make some.

I shared this super cute fun fold card on last week's Live video. It has lots of layers but it's so easy to make!

Besides the bright, happy holiday colors in the Take a Bow DSP I love that this fun fold uses your cardstock efficiently. Each diagonally cut card base is one half of an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of CS. I forgot to take a photo of this aspect but I do share it in the video seen here.

Below is a photo that shows how it opens and the pocket available for the optional gift card.

My colors include Real Red & Garden Green with White. The diagonal layers are also easy to do. Start with a rectangle and cut it in half on the diagonal making sure you cut it to match the diagonal.

My greeting & White die-cut is from the Christmas Labels bundle which is on the Last Chance list right now. See it here.

The Red die-cut is from Greetings of the Season dies and the pine bough die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops and made from the Festive Glimmer paper.

I added a double bow made from Red & White Baker's Twine and Peppermint dots that are currently unavailable but will return at the end of December. *They are NOT on the Last Chance list so they should be available for awhile!
