Thoughtful Journey designer paper paired with In The Grove for stunning results!

I shared this beautiful card on last week's Live video.

It features a few new products in the 1024-25 Annual Catalog;

• Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6" designer paper seen here
• In the Grove dies seen here
•  Spotlight on Nature bundle seen here

This Thoughtful Journey designer paper is incredible! Many people love the watercolor look of this type of scenic paper.

To me it seems the perfect choice for thinking of you, sympathy or get well cards.  

I made a few of these cards with the Lily Pond Lane designer paper too.  You can see both in the photo below:

My card bases are Misty Moonlight and the White birch tree die-cut is approximately 5" X 3 3/4"; as is the designer paper under it.  See the Lily Pond Lane designer paper here.

I think these scenic cards are fabulous.  Those birch tree die-cuts sure make quick but beautiful cards!

• Multiple ideas for the new Meandering Meadows DSP; with free project sheet & video

  November 13, 2023

  ---

  Last week's Live video featured the new and stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper. I shared 4 great ways to use it from quite simple to a special fun fold card. This designer paper is a new release among our Online Exclusives. There are lots of new products out this week; see them all here. 

  Today I'm sharing this card; a new way to feature both sides of your designer paper.

  Save

  See how the upper left and lower right corners are flipped?  I simply marked the edges at 2 1/2" and cut off each corner.  Then flipped it over to show the opposite side of the designer paper.  

  Next add a thin strip of coordinating Garden Green card stock.

  The second card above is made with Balmy Blue. The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; a go to favorite of mine.  The greeting die-cut on the left is the 'All That' dies and the right is the Lasting Label punch.

  You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below.  It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.

• A gorgeous Handcrafted Ornaments card with video & free project sheet!

  November 10, 2023

     Look at this beautiful card made with the Handcrafted Elements dies!

  Save

  These dies are seen in our 2023 Holiday catalog or online here.  There are two dies in the set that create that pretty, layered ornament.  

  Save

  I chose to use Starry Sky & Orchid Oasis along with the Brushed Gold cards. For the stamped bough image under the banner, I used Wild Wheat ink, stamped off once.  It's surprisingly close to gold! 

  This card is one we made at my October Card Clubs; they could choose their favorite greeting and also the color of bow on the ornament.  

  Save

  I used the Distressed Tile 3d embossing folder seen here.

  Yesterday I shared a pretty card featuring two of the same products seen in this card. Click here to see it. The Christmas Classics stamp set and the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes.

  Look at the stunning golden shine on this card!

  I shared a second card made with the other half of the Brushed Gold card base in the video here.  I hope you watch it! I will share the details on that card tomorrow.
