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!

• Year to Celebrate Explosion card with free project sheet & video

  December 19, 2023

  ---

  I made this cute card during last week's Live video. It looks like a simple card front the front but there's a surprise inside!

  I used the cute Year to Celebrate stamp set in the retiring 2023 Holiday catalog. This set is reduced from $19 to $11.40 while supplies last.  See it online here.

  It's great for a celebratory card like birthday's, promotions, achievements and New Years.  

  Here's the view of the inside:

  It's an explosion card that you can add some annoying sprinkles and punched pieces in. That's the biggest surprise!  

  It also features the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green foil that's on the Last chance list and has a reduced price.  See it here.

  I shared two cards featuring this stamp set in this video; both are fun fold cards!  I'll share the other card tomorrow.  Click here or on the photo below to watch the video:

• How to use leftover pieces to create projects

  December 18, 2023

  ---

  I'm sure you have a few piles of extra die-cuts, greetings or stamped images leftover from other projects right?  I seem to have lots! I give bunches of these to my friend Joanne in AZ as she loves to use them to remake cards to benefit the needy. 

  I had a few extra Santa hat die-cuts left from this project.

  It's made with the Sending Cheer bundle. I shared this diamond flap card on a video here.  Unfortunately the dies are sold out but the stamp set is hugely discounted right now; see it here. It was $24 and is now $14.40. 

  I had enough die-cuts and other elements left to create a few more cards; here's one:

  The layout is quite similar but it's not a fun fold card. Simple but cute! I used Poppy Parade for this card base. The colorful designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright but it's also sold out now.  Our Last Chance sale from the Holiday catalog is really reducing our options!  

  Here's a different card layout using similar pieces:

  I had a leftover textured layer that was perfect for the Santa element. It's the Christmas Tidings embossing folder – discounted on the Last Chance sale and seen here.

  Easy-peasy and two more Christmas cards made.

• Fragrant Forest & Countryside Corners in a fun fold layout with video

  December 15, 2023

  ---

  I've been sharing my Fragrant Forest projects from last week's Live; this is the third one. I have a video below to watch plus free project sheets for each card too.  See this stamp set here.

  I chose a simple color combo of White & Pretty Peacock. The designer paper on the upper flap is the Hello, Irresistible from our Online Exclusives line. 

  The die-cuts are the Countryside Corners from the Annual catalog; seen here. Can you see the raised lines on the inside white? I used my Simply Scored 1/4" from each edge. 

  Here's the free project sheet with measurements, photo and more: Download Fragrant Forest Funfold card

  I couldn't decide if I like the clean look of the card on the lower right or the added forest on the lower left card. Which do you prefer?

  Here's the inside view of the upper left card.  I used the Lasting Joy stamp set for my greeting and sentiments. I find I'm reaching for this one often. See it here.

  You might wonder just how I achieved inking only the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the left card above. Watch the video here. 

  I cut my stamp apart!

  Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile!  And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp.  Try it!
