Use your nesting dies to create a designer paper window – video & free project sheet


On last week's Live video I shared a neat way to use nesting dies to create a frame with your double sided designer series paper. 

I chose to feature the Thoughtful Moments DSP with this neat technique. Simply choose two dies that are the same shape and about 1/4-1/2" apart.  Die-cut and then flip over the narrow frame to reveal the opposite side of the Designer Series Paper. It's so neat! 

**This Designer Paper and many more will be on sale starting Tuesday, August 6th! Details will be shared tomorrow. 

The leaf die is from the Friends for Life dies. My nesting dies are called Countryside Corners and can be seen here.

Tip – be sure the color of the opposite side of your paper coordinates with the front. I chose the card base to match the frame – Pretty Peacock. My greeting is in Fresh Freesia. 

Here are both cards shown on the video; the second card on the right has a Lost Lagoon frame & card base.  The White die-cut on the right card is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle.

Here's the free project sheet you can download or print: Download Thoughtful Journey Window card

The designer paper for these cards is 4" X 5 1/4" which leaves a 2" strip for another project.  I wanted to share a quick card to use up that leftover piece:

I simply added it to the card base with a coordinating card stock strip on the edge. Then added layering circles for my greeting.

If you're wondering about the ribbon, it's the pretty Iridescent 1/2" striped trim seen here.  I cut it in half to get 1/4" thick trim. It has been unavailable for awhile but it's back now.

Here are all 4 cards I shared in the video you can see here. 

Here's the video below to see how this is done plus another card idea with the beautiful Thoughtful Journey designer paper.  I'll share the second card Wednesday.

  • Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card


    Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

    You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

    I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

    My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

    I used a few different products here:

    Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!

  • Another version of the Triple Flap fun fold card with Easter Joy DSP


    Today I’m sharing Jacki’s amazing card swap from our Team’s February swap.

    She used Pretty in Pink with Crumb Cake and the Easter Joy Specialty designer paper. The fun dies in Crumb Cake are from the Swirled Designs bundle seen here.

    This is what it looks like when you open the left flap:

    And here is the card fully opened:

    Isn’t it neat?! I loved it so much I had to case this fold. I shared my version yesterday. See it here.
