Basically you need three sizes of circle dies or punches for the start of this layout. Cut them in half and layer together with the edges meeting on one side. Adhere and add a long greeting between the two.

Watch how on my FB Live replay!

Measurements:

5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
3 1/2" X 4 3/4" Whisper White; the greeting strip is about 5" long and either 1/2" or 3/4" wide depending on your greeting image.
1" X 5 1/2" horizontal strip
Circles from the Stitched Shapes dies are the largest three circles.

You'll want ink, stamps and embellishments that coordinate with your Designer Paper. Remember you could use card stock instead of DSP.

Pleased as Punch; another fun fold card with optional pocket

February 12, 2020
I am loving the spring-like Pleased as Punch designer paper; it's available now while supplies last! See it here. I highly suspect this paper will run out before the end of March. I have no inside information but it's happened before and if you really want it; don't wait! click here to get yours.

I knew I wanted to make the focus of this card a square shape so I could add four pieces of the Designer Paper on the front with the greeting on top. So I had to figure out a way for the side to be separate. I rarely make square cards so this was my compromise.

I adhered the side flap to the card base just at the outside edges to form a pocket. This is for either money or a gift card.

Details:
- Front greeting is Seriously the Best stamp set. I cut apart the 'Hello Friend' greeting so I could ink it up separately.
- Inside stamps and front flowers are from the Thoughtful Blooms set; free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.
- Flower punch is the Small Bloom punch; free during Sale-a-Bration.
- Front stitched die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies
Measurements:
- Mango Melody card base – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". I cut up to the score line at 1 1/4" on the outside edge. The extra piece is textured with the Coastal Weave embossing folder. It measures 7/8" X 4"
- White – 4" square
- Balmy Blue 1" X 5"

Power of Hope meets Peacock Foil

February 11, 2020
For our February Flowerbug's Team swap we chose to do a swap featuring Sale-a-Bration cards. They are all fantastic! Over the top wonderful. I cannot wait to share them all with you.

Here's the one I made using the Power of Hope bundle seen here. It's one of the free items you receive with purchase during our Sale-a-Bration promotion from now through March 31st; or while supplies last. I do suspect this will sell out before March is over.

I textured the Noble Peacock Foil (seen here) with the Stone embossing folder from this bundle. Adding texture to this pretty foil brings it over the top! I also added a layer of vellum and a few flags of Peacock foil. It comes in 6 single-sided sheets of 12 X 12" foil paper. 2 each of 3 colors: Blueberry Bushel, Old Olive, Pretty Peacock. There are Noble Peacock rhinestones that match this paper perfectly.

Measurements:
- White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", White stamped layer 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"
- Vellum 2 3/4" X 4"
- Foil paper 2 1/2" X 4 3/4" plus two 3/8" strips
- Black 4" X 5 1/4"

Seriously the Best Cards with Golden Honey Folio gift pouch & video

February 10, 2020
I made this gorgeous cards & folio pouch project two weeks ago on Facebook Live. Join me each Tuesday at 11 am CT. Follow my FB page here.

Save

I chose to use the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Paper for my color inspiration. It's Black, White with Gold foil accents. Measurements and details are below.

Save

As you can see I made a few cards with just black, white and gold. Then I added color on the other with Melon Mambo & used just the black and white DSP. You can add any of your favorite colors to this pretty paper; Black and White is just the beginning!

Here are the measurements for the folio pouch and cards.
- Folio is 8 1/2" X 11". Score on the long side at 5 1/4" and 5 3/4". Score on the short side at 6 1/2".
- DSP on the front is 4 1/2" X 5 3/4" and the white layer is 4 5/8" X 6"
- Cards measure 4 1/4" X 9"; scored at 5 1/2". DSP is 3 1/4" X 4" and 1 7/8" X 4".

Here's the Melon Mambo version of this folio:

The little leaves and butterfly are from the Nature's Thoughts dies seen here.
