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.

  • Beautiful DSP Diamond Gatefold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week's Live video. You can see it here or scroll down a bit.  

    It features the Spring Corners bundle seen here and the Bloom Impressions DSP from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  This DSP can be seen here. It's free with any $60 purchase!  Unfortunately it's in low inventory status and may be gone soon.  I love it and thought it was one of our best offerings.  

    The Spring Corners set is one of my new favorites; I love the unusual corner style greetings and other images but the dies are special too!  As you can see in the front panel I die-cut the coneflower image and then replaced the flower centers with Melon Mambo pieces.  So easy and a fun trick! 

    Here's how it looks when it's opened below. Notice the greeting is in two lines horizontally.  I cut the 'corner' shaped stamp set at the corner point so I could have a normal inside greeting.  When I want to use it as a corner stamp it easily fits back together on my block again. 

    Here is the free project tutorial with measurements, directions and a supplies list. Just click on this link to download or print it.  Download DSP Diamond Gatefold card

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another special fun fold.  I hope you watch it and don't forget to subscribe to my channel!
