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


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. 

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.  

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.

  • 3 cards with my ‘Life is Beautiful’ MDA stamp set!


    You may have spied my stamp set in a previous post, but I haven't shared much yet!  You can be sure I will be posting quite a few projects with it.

    If you didn't know, it's a stamp set I helped create as a perk of achieving a Million Dollars in sales in my career with Stampin' Up!  It's so cool to have my name posted under the stamp set in the upcoming 2020 August – December Stampin' Up! catalog! 

    I shared three technique cards using the Life is Beautiful stamp set on FB live last week.   I did upload it to YouTube so everyone can watch. *see below 

    The top left card is created by stamping and heat embossing the leaves with White embossing powder.  Then coloring over with Blends alcohol markers.  Such a cool effect and actually fun to color too.  The dark card stock covers most mistakes if you go off the image a bit. 

    The colors are Bermuda Bay, Black and Mango Melody.  The pretty label tags are die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here. 

    I wanted to have a play with a rainbow style card using the distinktive dots in the set.  

    I used Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point here.  The greeting is from another MDA set called Ridiculously Awesome. 

    Next is a simple baby wipe technique.  

    I stamped the tree twice to create a wider trunk and more branches.  The colors here are Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede with Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock dots.

  • Accordion Style Fun-Fold card with video


    Here's another easy fun fold card that shows off all sides of your designer series paper.  And uses up thin strips too! 

    I made them during my weekly 'Stamp With Me' Facebook Live last week.  

    I chose to use the Brights 6 X 6" designer paper pack and the Many Mates stamp set.  

    Aren't they fun?  The back is flat and does not open.  You could include a full card base on it instead of a flat piece if you'd like.  I will write or sign the inside on the larger White part.

    You might notice there are dots around some of the punched pieces.  I used my Blends markers to add that fun detail.  I also colored in some of the words on the greetings too.  This stamp set is fun! 

    When you adhere the greeting on the front add adhesive to just the very top flap. 

    Measurements:
    Card base: 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
    next layer 5 1/4" X 4", textured
    White accordion fold 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 1", 2", 4" and 6"
    Designer paper – 3 pieces 4" tall. 3/4", 1 1/4" and 2 3/4"
     
    Supplies:
    Stamps – Many Mates
    Ink – Gorgeous Grape, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, Black Memento
    Card stock – Brights DSP, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Black
    Punches – Tailored Tag, Label Me Lovely, 2" circle, Lovely You Pick a Punch, Banner Triple
    Other – Blends markers, rhinestone jewels, Dimensionals 

    Below is the video for you.  Enjoy!
