April 8, 2022

Have you ever made a card that surprised you with how easy it was and amazed you with it's simple beauty? This beautiful card did that for me:

Save

I chose the Symbols of Fortune suite which includes the Crane of Fortune stamp set and the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP that is on sale right now at 50% off!

Other products include the Hippo & Friend dies (retired now), the Layering Circles dies and the 1/4" white seam binding ribbon.

Here are the simple measurements:

Black card base 5 1/2" X 5 1/4" scored at 1" on the 5 1/4" side
DSP 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip & 4" X 5 1/4" for the front flap
White inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

See how it shows off the other side of your Designer Paper? I love it! Think how many pretty cards you could make with this layout and use up your designer paper too!

Save

See the Symbols of Fortune suite here; it will retire when the list comes out at the end of May.

Here's another version with the new Hues of Happiness designer paper and the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

Save

My card base is Granny Apple Green and the greeting is stamped twice; once on the Label Me Lovely punched piece and again on a strip of Melon Mambo CS.

This paper is so gorgeous I decided to feature it for one of my Card kits to go this month. See the PDF tutorial option here. This fun fold card is included in the tutorial!

Gears & Textures bundle; another wow with Candace’s fun fold card

January 28, 2026

Today I’m sharing a neat card made by Candace; my talented team member. She used the Gears & Textures bundle to make this:

Save

You can see the Gears & Textures bundle here. It’s so special & unique and perfect for masculine cards. But as you can see in Candace’s card it’s great for gals too!

Save

She made her own paper with the stamps in the set. She used Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy & Flirty Flamingo inks. She added die-cut gears from the Metallic Textured Specialty papers seen here.

Save

If you want to make a card like this start out with a 4 1/4″ X 11″ piece of card stock scored at 5 1/2″. Trim off a 1 1/2″ piece from one end. Then trim off another 2 1/2″ piece which is the vertical center piece. The stamped paper layers are 1 1/4″ X 4″ on the top & bottom and the center is 2 1/4″ X 4″.

Thanks for the amazing fun fold card Candace!

Sweet Encircled with Love Valentine’s card

January 27, 2026

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

Save

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.

See the Made with Love designer paper here.

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

We made this cool card at my Card Clubs in November. I adore the Friendly Foliage bundle!

This fun fold looks difficult but it’s quite deceiving. It’s really so simple to make; I hope you try one! I’m a bit obsessed with this fold!

The Friendly Foliage bundle is a big favorite of many since it came out in our Online store a few months ago.

The designer paper seen below is from the Need for Tweed package which is on the Last Chance List right now and discounted. See it here.

I also used the Branching Out dies for the outer frame. My colors include Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon & Basic Beige. This soft & soothing color combo really works!
