The left card is a shaker card; they're very special and interactive. And not hard at all! Using Window sheets and our Foam Adhesive strips sure make it easy! I used the following products: (click on each one)

The card on the right is stitched with our metallic thread; basically like string art. If you like to cross stitch you will like this fun technique. I timed it and it took me about 8 minutes to finish one heart.

The Heart Doilies make it super simple. I used these products on this card:

The greeting on the Valentine's card is from the Heart to Heart stamp set. I chose to order this one because it's not just for Valentine's Day but it does includes the greeting. That makes it very versatile to me.

Gorgeous Prairie Grass Joy Fold card with video & free project sheet

July 28, 2025

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

Save

Isn't it pretty? The colors include Fresh Freesia with Black accents. All of my projects featured the brand new Prairie Grass stamp set seen here.

I also used the amazing Thoughtful Journey DSP seen here. It's absolutely perfect for scene builder stamps like this one and has some of the best and easiest backgrounds to start with.

This card is called a 'Joy Fold' – who knows why but it's actually one fold name I haven't forgotten. Basically it has two flaps that overlap each other. It gives you multiple opportunities to use your Designer Papers or textured layers.

The embossing folder here is called Glass & Gardens seen here. It's unavailable right now but you can add yourself to the list to be notified when it's back in stock.

Wow; Mixed Florals Reverse Image Technique with window sheets!

July 24, 2025
I'm continuing to share our July team swaps featuring window sheets.

Look at the stunning card made by Paula. For her card swap she made a Reverse Image technique cased from Kylie Bertucci.

Save

The stamp & die bundle is called Mixed Florals and can be seen here.

She used Crushed Curry for her card base and Floral Impressions designer paper. I'm so impressed by her gorgeous coloring with the Blends markers! What pretty shading she achieved!

Below you can see how she also colored the reverse side so when you flipped up the card front it's just as pretty on the inside! So neat. I also love the diagonal slant on the front.

The card opens to reveal 3 layers!
