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.

  • Awesome Dance with Me fun fold card


    Look at this gorgeous fun fold card Karen made for our Sale-a-Bration Team swap this month!

    She used the Dance with Me stamp set and the Floral Delight designer paper.  I love the spotlight technique she did too!  You can see an example of it in the SAB catalog here.  This neat spotlight technique is done with masking paper and a blending brush. It's so easy! 

    This set is free through February with any $60 purchase.

    Her colors include Pool Party, White & Daffodil Delight.  She used the Stylish Shapes dies to create her window fun fold effect.  The greeting is from the Day to Celebrate stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

    I plan to create this fun fold next month but in the meantime here are her measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • White inside 8" X 5 " scored at 2", 3 1/2" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside 1 1/4" X 4 3/4"
    • large circle die-cut is 3", white for the dancing couple is 2 1/2"

    I love this card!  Thanks for doing an awesome job Karen!

  • Opt in for my Card stock shares


    I have cardstock share's happening this month. We used to have these in the mini catalogs but they stopped offering them so I now offer them to my customers on occasion.  

    Here's how it works.  Instead of getting 24 sheets of 1 color in a package (like the catalog offers), I provide 6 sheets each of 4 different colors. It's a great way to get a nice sampling of our card stock.

    These colors coordinate with the new Designer Papers in the Spring catalog. 

    1. Wildflower Birthday – 6 sheets each of Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam

    2. Floral Delight – 6 sheets each of Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly & Old Olive

    3. Beautiful Bokeh – 6 sheets each of Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral

    4. Friends of the Ocean – 6 sheets each of Pumpkin Pie, Summer Splash, Melon Mambo & Lemon Lime Twist

    5. Storybook Moments – 6 sheets each of Mossy Meadow, Boho Blue, Basic Beige & Pebbled Path

    6. Timeless Plaid – 6 sheets each of Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Calypso Coral & Wild Wheat

    *If you'd like any of these let me know.  I'll figure postage once you tell me how many shares you'd like and provide your zip code as well.  Email me here for a quote. 

    These shares will be offered for just a few weeks; so contact me soon.

  • Lots of product displays from my New Catalog Launch party!


    I held my New Catalog launch party on Saturday and today I'm sharing some of the displays I had for my customers. It was a cold day here but I still had a decent turnout. I wish I had taken photos of the food but I forgot. 

    This table above is my Sale-a-Bration display. I laid out the many products and projects I had to show what can be done with this year's Sale-a-Bration items.  

    This next view of of this same table. 

    Next is 3 boards featuring products from the 2025 Spring catalog. 

    Most of these were received from swapping with my stamping friends. 

    From left to right, this board features the Friends of the Ocean suite, center is the With you in Mind stamp set, upper middle is the Darling Dino, upper left is the Terrific Toadstools, lower right is the Floral Delight& Darling Wishes. 

    This next board features the Memorable Blooms on the lower left, the Wildflower Birthday at the top and the To the Point punch projects on the lower right. 

    This final board features the One More Year on the top left, Storybook Moments on the lower left, the Linked Together at the upper right and the Beautiful Butterflies on the lower right.
