I also used another sneak peak product from the upcoming Holiday catalog; the Timber 3D embossing folder.  Of course I stamped the greeting before I embossed it.

I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on cutting these pieces and finishing the cards. 

Here is the template.  Start out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock AND of Designer Paper.  

Split Front Template Save

I suggest you cut this out of scrap card stock.  Make marks where indicated and cut on the diagonal.  Once you have the template I first place the bottom left piece (2 1/2") over my cut DSP & CS pieces and cut.  Then I use the upper right piece (3 3/4") on the remaining piece of papers and cut.  That leaves me with the center piece ready to go. 

Here's the video for you:

  • Amazing Side-step Vertical Easel card with Waves of the Ocean suite

    We made this remarkable fun fold card at my March card clubs. It features the Waves of the Ocean suite seen here.

    Dies featured here:

    • The Dandy Wishes dies in  the Garden Wishes bundle is 20% off right now. You can see that here.  I just love the die-cuts and greetings in it.  *I wonder if this will be on the retiring list tomorrow….. 
    • The 'Thanks' and 'Amazing' dies are from the Amazing Thanks dies in the 2022 Jan-June catalog.  You can see them here.  I love the double layering you get with them!!  

    This card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" when finished and lays flat for mailing but stands up beautifully for display.  

    March Waves card side Save

    You can see how this is assembled in the video below.  I also list the measurements below too. 

    The card includes two white panels; one for the middle and one for the back.  We stamped the wave from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set using Pacific Point ink on the middle layer.  We added some Bermuda Bay ink on the wave using a Blending Brush.  We also added a soft bit of Pacific Point for the sky.  

    March waves back Save

    Some left the back empty so they could add a greeting later; depending on what they needed at the time. 

    As you can see below the gorgeous Waves of the Ocean designer paper includes a variety of 'paint poured' designs & colors.  I wanted it to be the main feature of the card and this fun fold made it happen!  This designer paper is available through May 1st or while supplies last.  This pretty paper, the foil and Waves rhinestones will not be in the new Annual catalog.

    I used the Dandy Wishes dies for the 'flower heads'.  For the right card below I trimmed off a few of the side pieces to create a smaller flower head.

  • Easter Friends; simply adorable! Video tutorial included.

    I chose the Easter Friends stamp set for one of our Club cards in March.  It truly has adorable images!  See it here.

    I shared a few other projects during a recent Facebook Live. Click here to see it.  

    Look at this sweet bunny image!  

    Easter Friends club March Save

    I stamped him/her in Smoky Slate and added a tiny bit of blush on his cheeks.  I added a light line of Pool Party blends marker around the edge. The designer papers on this card include the Heart & Home and Hand Penned DSP's.  These will likely be on the retiring list which comes out on Wednesday, March 23rd.

    They could choose between the bunny or the duck. The duck is colored in with Blends markers; So Saffron & Pale Papaya. All greetings are from the Easter Friends stamp set; stamped in Basic Gray.

    • Flower & Leaves punch for the large flower
    • Bough punch for the little bitty tulips

    • I made a 'faux bow' by folding sheer Pool Party ribbon back and forth, adhering the folds with mini glue dots.  No bulk!

  • Sentimental Swirls; a super fun stamp set with a Video for multiple card ideas!

    I played with the Sentimental Swirls stamp set on last Tuesday's FB Live video.  Honestly I didn't want to stop!  This set is so friendly and easy to create with.  

    Sentimental Swirls colors Save

    Here I stamped the swirls and leaves first using Black Memento ink. I added the solid leaf image using Granny Apple Green.  Then added texture with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. 

    The flowers were stamped on scraps of White paper and colored in with Blends markers. I curled them a bit and added with mini dimensionals.  The bird is fussy cut and added with Dimensionals. 

    The card on the left below features the dot coloring technique.  I used the bullet tip of my Blends markers to color the flowers.  Fun technique!  Watch the video below to see it in action.

    This set coordinates beautifully with the Flowers & Leaves punch in the Annual Catalog.  Below you see both cards along with the coordinating stamp set & punch.

    I love that this stamp set includes outline & solid images to match.

    For the next card I again stamped the lovely swirl in Black Memento ink onto a scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Contours dies.  I added a few sets of leaves here and there among the swirls.  The flowers were stamped on a separate scrap of White and punched out.

    I sure love the greetings in this set!  Versatile and such cute font.

    I also shared this cute card too.  I stamped a scattered background on a piece of White CS before texturing it with the same Tasteful Textile embossing folder.  It is my 'go to' choice for a simple texture.  

    Sentimental Swirls Pink Save

    The color here is Polished Pink with bits of Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green & Coastal Cabana. The White tag is 2" X 3 1/4"  & the smaller Polished Pink is 1 3/4" wide.
