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.  

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:

  • Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

    I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator. 

    Here's one of my recent projects: 

    Beautiful Balloons mystery Save

    I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace. 

    My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.   

    Beautiful Balloons mystery open Save

    I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge.  It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed.  Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel.

  • Crafting with You; one more way to use it!

    During this week's Live video I shared how to make this cute card featuring the Crafting with You bundle seen here; new in the 2023-24 Annual Catalog. 

    Crafting with you Boho Save

    This card is done in Boho Blue with only white to accent it.  I stamped the background with the Cheerful Daisies stamp.  I cut a slit in the stamped & die-cut machine with a craft knife to insert the textured White layer into.  

    I added a 1" strip of the new In Color 6 X 6" DSP to the White cardstock before I die-cut it with the new Countryside Corners dies.

  • See 2 ways to use the new ‘Crafting with You’ bundle in my video

    On my weekly Live video I shared two, well actually three ways to use the incredible Crafting with You bundle seen here from Stampin' Up!  It's new in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog.  Here's one of them:

    Crafting with you Bubble bath Save

    It's perfect for the seamstress or quilter. I couldn't resist making a card featuring some of our frequently used tools – like the paper trimmer and die-cutting machine….  

    Crafting with You Azure Save

    This set has so many options for crafters! It has an easel & paint brushes, yarn, embroidery hoop, sewing machine, paper crafting etc.  It's loaded!  

    Crafting with you both Live Save

    These cards feature TWO of our newest colors in our color families.  Left is Bubble Bath and right is Azure Afternoon.  I used Smoky Slate, White, Black and a bit of silver on my cards.  

    I stamped my large white layer with the same ink as the card base and because it was a little busy I added a layer of vellum over it.  Then a stamp of Bright & Beautiful DSP before I added the textured 3" circle.  The circle also helps tone down the busy background.

    A few neat tips on this card: there are two different baskets you can add items to including the yarn, paint brushes, spools of thread or even flowers.  

    Crafting with you Bubble Bath Save

    I show how to make the scissors in the video.  You need to cut out two; one in black and one in silver.  Trim off the silver ends and add them over the full, black scissor die-cuts.  

    CRAFTING WITH YOU BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    For the paper crafting card I stamped the greeting on a strip of White cardstock and inserted it into the paper trimmer.  Love that the die-cut leaves this option for us.  The black 'knob' on my trimmer cuts out separately so you can add it in place as you like.  They thought of everything on this set!!
