Sending Love Artist of the Month – party 2


Here are the second set of Sending Love cards by our Artist of the Month – Donna.  See the first batch here.   

First up today is a fabulous fun fold card.  

I often forget to cut apart my sentiment like this.  It sure adds a playful note!

The cute grass and mailbox die-cuts are all from the Sending Love bundle seen here.  The stamp set & dies are returning in the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. 

It starts out as a vertical card with this cute mailbox scene.  But when you open it…… you get a horizontal card!

I only opened the upper flap in the photo above.  You can see how it turns from a vertical card to a landscape card.  Here's what it looks like fully opened.  I love that you can read the greetings either way! 

Measurements:

  • Balmy Blue card stock – 2 pieces at 10 1/4" X 4 1/4". Score each in at 4 3/4".  Then mark at 4" and score from that mark to the outside corner.  The two pieces are adhered together in the center (under the large white layer) 
  • White – inside is 5 1/4" X 4", side triangles started out at 3 3/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal.

Next is a sweet pocket card.  Don't you love her beautiful sponging?! 

This card has a hidden pocket between the layers.  See that little envelope sticking out?  

Measurements:

  • Moody Mauve – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • Sponged Postage die-cut 3 5/8" X 5"
  • Inside White 2 7/8" X 4 1/8"
  • Bubble Bath 3" X 4 1/4"

~~~

Lastly is this adorable hello card with the cutest envelopes on front!  These are also included in the Sending Love dies. 

She also used the Deckled Circle dies and the Lighter Than Air designer paper (retiring).  The envelopes match the DSP – Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly & Calypso Coral. 

Thanks so much for creating and sharing these amazing cards with us Donna!!

  • Christmas card swaps – fun layouts and fancy-fold cards


    I have lots of beautiful cards to share with you this week; all from my Flowerbug's Team swaps. You'll love the theme – 'to use glitz, shine or shimmer'. 

    This first card was made by Tracey.  I think we all love the fractured card layout! 

    If you want to learn how to make a fractured card here's a link to a video I did.

    Next is a neat interlocking gatefold card made by Candace. I'm not sure of the name of this fun fold but see how the circle die-cuts are entwined? One is adhered to each side of the front folds.

    • Shining Christmas specialty designer paper ( was in the online exclusives; now sold out)

  • Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces


    The Winter Meadow designer paper & the Magical Meadow stamp & dies bundle are among my favorites from the 2023 Holiday catalog. Pretty products produce pretty projects!  Say that three times! Ha! 

    I was playing with the designer paper and had these two pieces among the scraps in my paper pack. I simply added a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock to one piece and added them to the White card base offset from each other for balance.  Easy peasy! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 1 piece at 2 1/2" X 4" and 1 at 2" X 4 1/4"
    • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" 

    Of course the pretty dies help a lot too. The greeting label is from the Nested Essential dies seen here and the leaves are both from the Magical Meadow bundle seen here.  

    Next I added a greeting layer – heat embossed with Silver embossing powder & my Heat Tool.  Adding the White & Silver mesh ribbon in loops under it sure gives a great finishing touch! To add the loops of ribbon I created them and pressed them to the back of my greeting, after I added some Seal tape runner of course.  

    I saw that this beautiful Winter Meadow designer paper is in low inventory; grab it while you can here.
