Unique diagonal card layout using your Designer Paper


I've made a few of these cards lately; I just love the diagonal layout and how easy it is to stamp your greeting directly on the White layer.  

It's made with the beautiful Hues of Happiness designer paper seen here.  It's been my top seller this month!  So far it's not on the low inventory list but I fear it will be the way it's going! 

I cut some of these flowers directly from the DSP using the Blossoming Happiness dies; they match up perfectly to many of the flowers in the paper.  

I made a bunch of these cards for swaps in May in both colors seen below. This way I could use two different sheets of paper since they provided flowers in many hues. 

Tip: The nice thing about this layout is that you don't have to measure your diagonal cut on the White CS perfectly.  Mine are about 3/4" from the lower left and the upper right. 

The Melon Mambo card on the upper left is part of my Hues of Happiness card kit to go seen below.  You get 1/2 pkg of this pretty DSP, a share of ribbon and Glossy dot gems in the kit for $28 plus shipping. Tomorrow (May 18th) is the last day to opt in for this pre-cut kit to go.  See details on it here.  

I used the Happiness Abounds bundle for these cards.  See that here.  

This card below is made with Fresh Freesia as it's card base.  There are a nice variety of colors in this designer paper; so many card stock & ink colors will work with it.

Here are the measurements: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
  • White front 5” X 2 ¾” cut in half about 3/4" from the lower left and upper right
  • DSP – 5” X 2 ¾”

  • Easy Triple Accordion fold with tutorial, measurements & video


    We made this pretty Triple Accordion card last night on a FB Live video seen here.  It's a neat fold that is also quite easy to make. 

    I used the Awash in Beauty designer paper along with the coordinating True Beauty bundle seen here.  

    It stands up nicely but also folds into a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" A2 size card.  

    Measurements: 
    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4", 4 1/4", 7 1/4" & 8 1/2"
    • Pink layer is 4" square. Cut 2
    • DSP – 2 pieces at 3 7/8" square
    • White 2 1/4" X 4"

    I am challenging everyone to make and share one on my FB group page here by July 17th to be entered in Prize Patrol for a free embellishment.  


    The entire suite is beautiful!

    You can get a share of this pretty designer paper in my Annual Catalog paper share. I still have a few spots left! Message me here Details are at the bottom of this post.

    My colors include Mossy Meadow, Polished Pink & Balmy Blue.  The pretty die-cut flowers are all from the Awash in Beauty designer paper.  The Organic Beauty dies are designed perfectly to match the DSP!  The only stamping I did here are the two greetings; all of the flowers are die-cut from either card stock or DSP.  

    Do you see the little bit of color on the Pink blossom die-cut?  I used Wink of Stella and my White craft ink to add color. Watch the video below to see how.

  • Artist of the Month with Sending Smiles; fun fold card & tags box


    Today I'm sharing the rest of Marilyn's projects featuring the Sending Smiles bundle.  See the first set here. 

    This cute card is a Dutch door fold where the front panel is attached to the lower 'door' opening. 

    She used the new Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party In Colors here. 

    Her measurements are as follows:

    • Sweet Sorbet – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" plus a 8 1/2" X 2 3/4" scored at 4 1/4".  The front panel is 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
    • White front is a stitched rectangle at 2 5/8" X 4" & inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
    • In Color DSP is2 5/8" X 4" 

    Next is an adorable box made with the Tailored Tag dies.  

    She used 2 of the Tailored Tag die-cuts and adhered them to the little box she made with the template seen below. 

    Details: 

    • The tags are approximately 1 3/4" X 3 3/4" and the box is1 1/2" square. 
    • She used the Sending dies for the flower & greeting. 
    • The DSP is the 2022-24 In Color 6 X 6" pack and the ribbon is the Tahitian Tide 1/8" ribbon.  

    To make this box start out with a 4" square of card stock and score at 1 1/4" on all sides.  

    And below are all of her projects using the Sending Smiles bundle.  She sure did a fabulous job!!
