Spring Corners fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


I totally enjoyed making this neat fun fold card.  It shows off this neat stamp set wonderfully! 

I wanted to highlight the flower image as well as the neat greeting. I used Stampin' Write markers to color my image before I stamped. 

Tips on coloring stamps with markers:

  • always us a water-based marker (never a Blends 'permanent' marker)
  • color with the lightest color first so you don't contaminate your tip with a darker color
  • huff on the image before stamping to moisten the inks – this gives a brighter image

This neat fold starts with an 11" X 4 1/4" card base with a small fold back on the front. Then the DSP layer is added behind it.  

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss or Granny Apple Green and White. The DSP is the Toadstool Gardens and the ribbon is the Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon – both are from our free Sale-a-Bration choice.

  • NEW Everyday Details card with a unique Designer Paper layout with video tutorial


    I joined quite a few online card swaps for the new 2024 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs and today's post features one of them. 

    It features the Everyday Details bundle and the Poetic Expressions designer series paper. Both are in the upcoming 2024 Spring Catalog that goes live on January 4th.  The colors include Boho Blue & Misty Moonlight with White. 

    There's a few special details I'd like to point out:

    1. The designer paper triangle is originally a 4" square, cut in half. I added it to a textured layer (4" X 5 1/4")
    2. The dotted circle die-cut is from the Everyday Details bundle; there are a variety of sizes in the set. It is adhered over a White stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 
    3. I stamped the cup image in Misty Moonlight ink. The flower is colored a soft white by using our Craft White ink and a Wink of Stella pen. I shared how to do this in the video here.  You can also use a Blender pen, a water pen or Watercolor Pencils.

    Here's a close-up of this technique. 

    I thought I'd take a photo of all of the swaps before I mailed them out: 

    I hope you'll try this easy but unique card layout!

  • Translucent Florals card made with colored vellum


    I created this pretty card with the Translucent Florals bundle.  I used our vellum card stock and changed it from opaque to Fresh Freesia. 

    It's really easy to do.  Here's how:

    1. I cut a good size piece of vellum from the main sheet and laid it onto my grid paper.
    2. Then I pressed my open ink pad onto the card stock until it was covered.
    3. To smooth the ink out use sponges or a blending brush. Let dry or heat set before die-cutting. 
    4. Die-cut the flowers, leaves and white centers

    Products & measurements:

    • Translucent Floral bundle
    • White card stock – card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score & fold at 4 1/4"
    • Painted Texture embossing folder – white is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • Fresh Freesia card stock 3 7/8" X 4 7/8"
    • Granny Apple Green 4 1/4" X 1" strip 
    • Vellum card stock – a large piece colored with Fresh Freesia ink and a small piece with Granny Apple Green ink
    • Blending Brushes 

    Here's a photo of this pretty bundle. See it here.
