Also note that some prices are going up. The cost of business is increasing world wide; as I'm sure you've noticed when shopping.  Here's a chart showing some of the price changes in the upcoming new Annual Catalog.

Now on to the projects! 

I shared these neat cards on last week's Live video. I love it when you can show off both sides of our pretty designer papers! 

Pretty Prints dsp gatefold Save

This card uses almost half of a 12 X 12" piece of designer paper; but it truly makes the most of your printed paper. 

I chose the Pretty Prints DSP from the Annual catalog.  It includes 4 colors; Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Evening Evergreen and Blackberry Bliss. It's on the retiring list now and discounted to $8.40 instead of $12.  See it here. 

PRETTY PRINTS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

It's quite an easy fold to make.  You make a few score lines and then trim off the top at an angle; then add that trimmed piece to the bottom edge.  Watch the video to see how it's done.  

Measurements: 

  • Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
  • DSP 5 ¼” X 12” score at 2”, 4”, 8” & 10”. Mark at 2 3/8” and cut off to 4” mark
  • White front square 2 1/4", inside 3 3/4" X 5" 
  • Front square layer 2 1/2"

I chose the Kind & Sincere stamp set for my greetings.  I think the mixed font and wide range of phrases is fabulous.  Unfortunately it is on the retiring list. It's now $15.60 instead of  $26.

  • Year to Celebrate Explosion card with free project sheet & video

    I made this cute card during last week's Live video. It looks like a simple card front the front but there's a surprise inside!

    Year to Celebrate card Save

    I used the cute Year to Celebrate stamp set in the retiring 2023 Holiday catalog. This set is reduced from $19 to $11.40 while supplies last.  See it online here. 

    YEAR TO CELEBRATE PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

    It's great for a celebratory card like birthday's, promotions, achievements and New Years.  

    Here's the view of the inside:

    It's an explosion card that you can add some annoying sprinkles and punched pieces in. That's the biggest surprise!  

    It also features the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green foil that's on the Last chance list and has a reduced price.  See it here.

  • How to use leftover pieces to create projects

    I'm sure you have a few piles of extra die-cuts, greetings or stamped images leftover from other projects right?  I seem to have lots! I give bunches of these to my friend Joanne in AZ as she loves to use them to remake cards to benefit the needy. 

    I had a few extra Santa hat die-cuts left from this project. 

    Sending Cheer xmas Save

    It's made with the Sending Cheer bundle. I shared this diamond flap card on a video here.  Unfortunately the dies are sold out but the stamp set is hugely discounted right now; see it here. It was $24 and is now $14.40. 

    I had enough die-cuts and other elements left to create a few more cards; here's one:

    Sending Cheer extrax Save

    The layout is quite similar but it's not a fun fold card. Simple but cute! I used Poppy Parade for this card base. The colorful designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright but it's also sold out now.  Our Last Chance sale from the Holiday catalog is really reducing our options!  

    Here's a different card layout using similar pieces: 

    Sending Cheer extra Save

    I had a leftover textured layer that was perfect for the Santa element. It's the Christmas Tidings embossing folder – discounted on the Last Chance sale and seen here.

    Easy-peasy and two more Christmas cards made.

  • Fragrant Forest & Countryside Corners in a fun fold layout with video

    I've been sharing my Fragrant Forest projects from last week's Live; this is the third one. I have a video below to watch plus free project sheets for each card too.  See this stamp set here.

    Fragrant Forest Peacock Save

    I chose a simple color combo of White & Pretty Peacock. The designer paper on the upper flap is the Hello, Irresistible from our Online Exclusives line. 

    The die-cuts are the Countryside Corners from the Annual catalog; seen here. Can you see the raised lines on the inside white? I used my Simply Scored 1/4" from each edge. 

    Here's the free project sheet with measurements, photo and more: Download Fragrant Forest Funfold card

    I couldn't decide if I like the clean look of the card on the lower right or the added forest on the lower left card. Which do you prefer? 

    Fragrant Forest sorry Save

    Here's the inside view of the upper left card.  I used the Lasting Joy stamp set for my greeting and sentiments. I find I'm reaching for this one often. See it here.

    You might wonder just how I achieved inking only the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the left card above. Watch the video here. 

    I cut my stamp apart!

    Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile!  And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp.  Try it!
