Thoughtful Journey DSP with Sketched Butterflies – free project sheet too!

Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's Live video. See the video here. 

The Thoughtful Journey designer series paper was my focus for the video.  I shared multiple ways to use this gorgeous 6 X 6" paper.  And it's 15% off – on sale through August! 

THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

We made these beautiful cards at my July card clubs:

Thoughtful Journey Club July . Save

This card has a 3" square of designer paper which means you can get 4 cards from one 6 X 6" sheet.  I layered the square with coordinating card stock and added it to a piece of textured card stock that had Boho Blue ink brushed on it with a Blending Brush. The colors are Boho Blue with Misty Moonlight & White. The embossing folder is called Distressed Tile. 

The greeting and pretty butterfly die-cut are from the Sketched Butterflies bundle seen here.

Did you know there's a simple way to turn a standard card into an easy fun fold?  Simply fold back the front layer of a card back to the score line. Then add your layers to that folded piece.

The inside has stamped butterflies and a greeting from the So Sincere stamp set. The colors in the above card include Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia & Misty Moonlight.

  • Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

    I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend!  We sure did.  It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together. 

    Here's another card we made at my December card clubs.  It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too.  It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style.  Scroll down to see the video. 

    Dec Retro Circles Club[1] Save

    You just need three circles of different sizes.  I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges.  I use these dies so much!  If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here. 

    I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

    The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets.  Just one ink color; Night of Navy. 

    Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives.  See that video here.

  • Let it Snow?! Are you having a White Christmas?

    Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your Holiday today and that you are able to spend time with some of your favorite people. This year is so unusual and difficult for many who are isolated.  I wish you the best and thank you for your support this past year.  

    We did just get snow this week; very unusual for us in North Dakota!  So it's a white Christmas after all.  

    Here are two of my favorite wintery cards featuring my Life is Beautiful stamp set.

    Snowman Save

    The card above is Seaside Spray with Black & White.  The stamp set is Snowman Season in the Annual Catalog. 

    Snowflake Splendor card Save

    This card is made with the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  Ink colors are black, Balmy Blue & Highland Heather. The DSP is retiring in a week or so and it's on sale here.

    This card is very similar to the one above only made with Early Espresso & Balmy Blue. 

    Merry Christmas!

  • Need a quick gift box for the Holidays? Use your designer paper!!

    Are you a last minute wrapper?  I can help! I made these fast gift boxes on this week's FB Live.  Honestly they are super easy and you can make them wide or tall depending on where you score. 

    Toile Tidings boxes Save

    Each one is made from 2 pieces of 12 X 12" designer paper; these are from Toile Tidings which is now discontinued and out of stock.   Double sided paper is preferred and makes them extra special.  I used the same patterns for each box; flipping the pattern so they coordinated. 

    I know some of you might think it's frivolous to use your designer paper for gift boxes.  Now consider how much DSP you have stored up!  Use it; you can do it!

    And here is another version with the new True Love designer paper; all Black & White! It's from the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog!

    I colored some of the flowers on the paper with both Rococo Rose and Purple Posy Blends markers.  Then I added two ribbons; Black glittered and Purple Posy.
