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.

• Power of Hope Bundle swap cards

  February 18, 2020

  ---

  I have a lot of swaps to show you this week.  My Flowerbug's Team held a Sale-a-Bration card swap and the cards are amazing!  Each day I'll share a few with you.

  First up are two cards featuring the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with any $100 purchase.  You receive both the stamp set and the Stone embossing folder.  Look!

  Save

  Annette made this one; it's a gate-fold card with a faux lantern.  She stamped and colored the image with Blends markers before adding texture with the Corrugated embossing folder seen here.  She also rubbed her Black Memento ink pad over the texture to add a distressed look. 

  She achieved the lantern by cutting out a circle with the Circles Collection dies and adding strips of Real Red above and below.  The top of the lantern is made with the Light Bulb punch. Both the silver foil and Real Red papers are textured with the Stone embossing folder.  

  Save

  Audrey made the pretty card above adding Gold with her Red, Black and White colors.  So elegant!  The greeting is heat embossed.  Look at what she did on the inside of the card!  Unique and special.

  You can see this bundle here in my online store.

• Easy Pizza Box for Note cards!

  February 17, 2020

  ---

  Have you ever wanted to gift a bunch of cards but weren't sure how to package them?  I have a solution for note cards.

  Note cards are traditionally smaller than A2 size cards; usually 3 1/2" X 5".  We have a few different note cards in our 2019-20 Annual catalog this year.  White or Scalloped.  You can find them on page 168.  Or click here for the Scalloped.  

  Coordination Product Release – While supplies last!

  I have been playing with the new Pleased as Punch designer paper a lot and the colors fit these cute scalloped note cards.  Look!

  Save

  The colors are Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Light Pink and Terracotta Tile.  I used Calypso Coral ink on all of the cards; it is very close to Terracotta Tile. 

  I used just a few pieces of the DSP on each card and added the four punches that coordinate with the Pleased as Punch to embellish. They include the Heart Punch Pack, Blossom (SAB), Tulip and Umbrella. You can see them at the end of this post. 

  Save

  This box is so easy to make and it uses just one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock for the main box.  The items I used are in the links at the end of this post.

  Here are the measurements for the box:

  Calypso Coral card stock: 7‐1/2" x 11"
      • score at: 1", 5", 6", 10" on the long side
      • score at: 1" and 6‐1/2" on the short side

  Watch the video below to see how to assemble the box and make the cards too.  Plus I share a bunch of our NEW Product Coordination items too!
