Simple fun fold card with Wildflower Designs with video & free project sheet

I shared two cards featuring the Wildflower Designs bundle in last week's video. Here's one of them:

Can you see the simple but different card layout here? The back of the card is a full 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" layer. The Lost Lagoon folded card is 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4".  So easy but unique too.

I wanted to use Pretty in Pink with a current color and chose Lost Lagoon to pair with it.  I think they work beautifully together. 

What do you think of the new Dashing Designs embossing folder? I love it!

The Wildflower Designs bundle can be seen here.  I love the stamp set a lot but the dies won me over. There's so many possibilities with them!

I made the card on the right below first.  Then tried it again for the left card.  Can you spot the difference?

When I made this card for our Team swap my first one did not include the frame.  Otherwise they're the same. Which do you prefer? 

Watch the video below; it's the first project I share.

• 3 completely different cards with the Friendly Hello bundle; WOW!

  January 21, 2022

  ---

  Our Sale-a-Bration promotion is everyone's favorite time of year; who doesn't love to get something free?!  

  This year our product line includes a stamp set & 12 X 12" designer paper combo called Friendly Hello.  I love both the stamps and the DSP.  The stamps include floral, botanical and greeting images and the paper can be either soft & pretty or bright & eye catching! 

  Save

  Look at these three extremely different cards all featuring the same stamps & DSP:

  Save

  This card is one I made for an online swap I participated in.  I chose to use the Granny Apple Green sheet of DSP and paired it with Black & White. It's a simple layout that really shows off the colors & products.

  Details:

  • The greeting is stamped onto a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends die. 
  • That delicate leaf die-cut is from the Tropical Layers dies in the Jan-June catalog.  
  • The butterfly is from the Catching Butterflies Sale-a-Bration stamp set. 

  Next is a pretty swap Ginny made but so much softer in colors.  

  Save

  She covered the entire card front with her Designer Paper and added a banner from another sheet of the DSP under the main White scalloped piece.  She stamped in Gray Granite and colored in the bird & flowers with Blends markers.  

  Lastly today is another card I made for a swap.  I paired the Pool Party sheet of this Designer Paper with Early Espresso.  I've always loved these colors together.  I stamped the flowers in Early Espresso ink onto our Vellum card stock and immediately heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Yes you CAN emboss with our Classic ink pads!  

  Save

  I textured the Pool Party card stock with the new Gingham embossing folder and rounded the upper right corner.  I also cut our new frayed 3/4" White ribbon in half lengthwise and wrapped it round the left edge of the card stock.  

  Thanks so much for stopping in to see my projects today!  If you want to get this pretty pack of Designer Paper & the Friendly Hello stamp set click here to see it.  It's free with any $100 purchase right now!

• Pretty Botanical swap cards; all Monochromatic!

  January 20, 2022

  ---

  This week I'm showcasing my talented Flowerbug's Team swaps with their monochromatic cards.  

  First up is Karen's card; she used the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set; seen here in the new Jan-June catalog.  

  Save

  She stamped the floral image three times on her White CS using Evening Evergreen ink.  The last one is stamped on Vellum and fussy cut.  She added a double tag die-cut from the Tailored Tags dies along with a bow in Soft Succulent ribbon.  

  Next is a pretty card in Fresh Freesia made by Paula S.  She used a favorite stamp set of mine; the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set, along with some sponging and distressing of the edges.  

  Save

  Our In Color sheer ribbon is wonderful; easy to work with, soft & lovely!  

  Next is a pretty & very detailed card made by Sharon.  She used Soft Succulent with Evening Evergreen and the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. 
  

  Save

  She created double stitched window frames with the Stitched Rectangle dies. They're adhered over a scalloped rectangle made with the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  Her leaves are die-cut from our Shimmer In Color Vellum using the Forever Flourishing dies.  The greeting is from the Prized Peony stamp set. 

  Stop in for more Monochromatic card swaps tomorrow!
