Triple Z-fold with Friendly Foliage with video & free project sheet

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!

• Gorgeous Butterflies with the Brilliant Wing dies

  March 11, 2021

  ---

  I was playing around with these dies and came up with these striking colored butterflies.

  I used the designer paper as a template to sponge through.  This is what's left after you use the Brilliant Wings dies to cut out the 6 butterflies.  Although in hindsight I should have sponged on the other side so the die fit.  It was upside down on the die; I had to hold it up to the light to get the die placed correctly.

  I added a piece of White CS behind these butterflies and used the Stitched with Whimsy dies to add that pretty stitched edge.  See those here. 

  Click on the image below to see these items in my store. Remember this designer paper is available through May 3rd or while supplies last.

  The greeting is from the Vine Design stamp set on a 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade card stock.

• This week’s card sketch for a quick, cute card!

  March 10, 2021

  ---

  Are you a collector of pretty papers?  I've heard that many of you are!  I equate it to my fabric collecting days.  

  This card sketch idea (seen below) will help you use some of it; it's so simple!

  I used the Double Oval punch for the greeting which unfortunately is unavailable right now; they've run out!  But it will be at the end of March.  The stamped greeting is from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set on page 59 in the Spring catalog. This pretty Grape ribbon is also unavailable; it should be back  next week. 

  I chose to use the new Butterfly Bijou designer paper; an exclusive paper not seen in any catalog.  It's available here through May 3rd or while supplies last.  It's a 48 pack of 6 X 6" papers.  I love the soft spring-like colors.

  Measurements are:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Gorgeous Grape 5 1/4" X 3 1/2"
  • Designer Paper 3 pieces at 1 1/2" X 3 7/8"

  You could use this sketch with stamped or textured card stock instead of designer paper.  I would cut a full 4 1/2" X 3 7/8" piece of card stock, stamp it and then cut it into 1 1/2" strips.
