Sweet Encircled with Love Valentine’s card

Tracey created this striking card with the Made with Love designer paper:

I love the abstract designer paper pieces she added to her White layer. Then to make sure the greeting was the focal point she added the top square of DSP. Perfect!
This is a great example of taking leftover pieces of coordinating DSP and layering them up. A great way to use scraps!

She used the Encircled with Love stamp set seen here along with the 1 3/4″ & 1 7/8″ circle punches. Her colors include Real Red, Flirty Flamingo with White which she got from the pretty designer paper.

Your card inspired me to look at and use my DSP scraps Tracey! Thank you.

  I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received.  It's called Spooky Treats.  I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit.  I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

  The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

  Here are the measurements: 

  • Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
  • Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
  • DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”

  For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie.  The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.

  I used three inks and our blending brushes to create the smooth background under the Aspen Tree dies. I share a few tips on getting smooth results in the video.

• Apple Harvest Fun Fold card

  September 28, 2022

  ---

  We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September.  I love the bright colors paired with Black! 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black.  As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms.  And inside the card is a single apple. 

  The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog.  The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion.  See them here. 

  All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet.  I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

  This card fold is super simple.  Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.  

  Measurements:

  • Black – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
  • Parakeet Party 5" X 3 3/4", circle is 2 1/2"
  • Cottage Gingham DSP 4" X 3"
  • White 3/4" X 5" strip & 5 1/4" X 4" inside
