Stack & Cut cards with Dandy Designs & Something Fancy with PDF project sheet & template download!

I LOVE the cards I'm sharing with you today!!  So much!  

They're 'Stack & Cut' cards using an easy template I'll share below.  I created these for last week's Facebook Live.  The Dandy Design SAB designer paper features gorgeous color combinations like this one:

Who would have thought Balmy Blue & Coastal Cabana would be so pretty together?!  I sure didn't.  But with the small prints and the addition of White & Pool Party it works beautifully. 

Each set of cards feature this neat Dandy Designs designer paper seen here.  This huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets is free during Sale-a-Bration with any $100 purchase.

For each of these sets of cards I also featured the Something Fancy bundle.  It's one of my top picks. See it here.  The greetings are great but the dies!  WOW; the tags and layers are perfect!  

Save

Add this bundle to your order and you're over half way towards getting the Dandy Designs paper pack free! All of these tags and greeting die-cuts are from these Something Fancy dies.  

This next set is all pastels in Fresh Freesia & Petal Pink; another color combo I would never have put together.  But it works!

You also might notice that each card is a fun fold.  Here are the measurements:

• Horizontal cards – 4 1/4" X 11" card base, scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
• Vertical cards 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base, scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" 

Below is the template I used.  I started out with 4 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5".  I cut two at a time using the measurements on the template.  Then I cut 4 pieces of card stock for the layer under the designer paper pieces.  It's so easy and a fabulous way to use up your designer paper AND get a bunch of cards done quickly.

This last set features Calypso Coral with Mango Melody; a bright and fun combination.

You can see on the upper left and lower right a few of the optional die-cuts you can add to the tags.  The set actually features 3 options for details or a ribbon pull. 

Here you can see all 12 of the cards I made with the Dandy Designs designer series paper and the Something Fancy bundle.

  I made a pretty stitched frame with the Stitched Rectangles dies and Silver Foil paper.  Added a greeting and a fussy cut flower from the Flowering Foils paper.  I sponged it with Petal Pink ink for a bit of soft color.

• Mountain Air; a gorgeous scene

  March 2, 2020

  ---

  You might know that I love creating scenic cards.  Even though my nickname is 'Flowerbug' that's because I am a gardener; not because I love flowers.  I do!  But when making cards I actually lean towards botanicals or scenes with trees and water.  This card is a perfect example of my 'style' using the Mountain Air bundle seen here.  

  I created it on my Facebook Live two weeks ago.  It's super easy to make!  Here's a link to it on FB.  

  Save

  The colors here are Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and Whisper White.  I did use one of the dies from the Mountain Air bundle; that pretty detailed tree.  I also sponged the mountains and trees a bit then stamped the trees again upside down in White Craft ink for 'water'.  The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set.

  I love this set so much I am featuring it in March. Anyone who purchases the Mountain Air stamp set or bundle from me (past or in March) qualifies to receive the 10 cards project tutorial.  And all online orders (of any amount) will also receive it!
