Use both sides of your DSP on this neat ‘back fold’ card; so easy!


I joined a few online swaps in December so I could get lots of samples for my New Catalog Launch on January 18th. I love to showcase lots of products from the new catalogs each time. 

This is one I made featuring the Friends of the Ocean DSP

My colors include Coastal Cabana and Pumpkin Pie.  You cannot tell from the photo above that it's a fun fold card but it is. And it's so easy! 

The Friends of the Ocean DSP is so colorful and fun; here's a peek it. 

The layered greeting is attached to the right sided edge and it holds the left side closed. 

How? There's an extra score line 1" from the edge.  The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1" and 4 1/4". 

I used the new With You in Mind stamp set for this card.  I love it because the greetings are nice & large and it's my friend Julie Davison's million $ stamp set!  The greeting fits onto the new To the Point punch well and that layers on our 2 3/8" circle punch perfectly.

**All of these products are coming out in the Spring Catalog on Tuesday, January 7th.

Here's a link to the video & a different version of this neat, easy fun fold card.

  • What is a ‘Live Edge’ card? Check it out and the video tutorial too


    You may have heard of 'Live Edge' tables; but have you ever heard of a 'live edge' card?  Well that's what I'm calling this technique! 

    I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base.  I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!  

    The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results.  See the set here.

    Here's how I stamped the inside: 

    Products used:

    • Happiest Day stamp set
    • Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
    • Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP

    I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper.  I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them. 

    Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!

  • Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look


    On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product.  It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here. Here's one of the cards I made: 

    I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal.  See it here.  The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies. 

    Here's how I stamped the inside.  

    For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).

    The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here. 

    I did not make a project sheet for this card since it's so simple. 

    Here are the measurements:

    • White card base – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", White deckled rectangle die-cut 2 5/8" X 3 7/8", circle die-cut1 5/8"
    • Black – 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
    • Glimmer paper strips – 5 1/4" X 3/8"

    Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with a special edge technique and a few other ideas as well.
