Split Front card technique; it’s easy with my template & video!

July 30, 2021

We made this pretty set of cards on Monday night's Stamp with Me Live. It's the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT. Click here and follow my page to get notified when I'm live. There are 6 live videos each month!

I used the Beauty of the Earth DSP seen here. The die-cuts are from the Iconic and Artistic dies. in White & Misty Moonlight. The greeting is from the In Symmetry stamp set. Those pretty Subtle Shimmer sequins are from the upcoming Holiday catalog which starts next week!!

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.

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:

Darling Donkey’s Birthday card

January 29, 2021
The Darling Donkey's stamp set (seen here) is one of the most popular sets in our Sale-a-Bration promotion right now. So I chose to use it for my card clubs in January. We made this cute but easy card:

Save

The colors are Pool Party, So Saffron and Black. That cute designer paper is called Flower & Field and is also from our Sale-a-Bration promotion that runs through February. See it here.

Save

Both are free with any $50 order! I love Sale-a-Bration where we can earn free items with an order.

Sale-a-Bration traditionally runs through March. But this year it's one month short because they're offering another one in July & August!! So we actually get an extra month this year!

Save

The inside is stamped with the third Sale-a-Bration choice called Approaching Perfection. See it here. It has lots of fun birthday greetings!

You can watch the video for this quick card below.

Measurements:
- Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- So Saffron 2" X 4 1/4"
- Flower & Field DSP 3" X 5 1/2"
- White die-cut 2 1/2" X 4"
I used the Balloon Bouquet punch with this DSP for a quick accent. I glued the Black & White twine down with liquid Multipurpose Glue. The donkey is colored in with Blends markers.

Striking cards with Pretty Perennials with True Love DSP

January 28, 2021

If the True Love designer paper hasn't caught your eye yet look at these cards:

Save

I paired it with the Pretty Perennials stamp and dies bundle for a recent FB Live. I used Bermuda Bay, Real Red and black. Simple Stamping at it's best! No die-cuts or punches either! Sometimes it's fun to just stamp and layer.

Save

You can see the measurements below. I try to share the printed list in my videos so they're easy to jot down.

Save

Lastly here's the stepped-up card I made using heat embossing and the Perennial Petal dies. See the Pretty Perennial bundle here.

I also used our new Blending Brushes to add color to the white flowers. Love these so much!

Save

Measurements are below and you can watch the FB Live replay video below:

I think cards featuring black and White with a pop of color are so striking and stand out. What do you think?
