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.

    During last week's video I shared how to create a pig with the Cow Builder punch.  She's super adorable!

    I shared a cute cow card on yesterday's post; see it here.  This Cutest Cow bundle is in our Spring catalog and is back & available.  It was out of stock for a week or so. 

    You might wonder how I made the grass.  It's from the Garden Meadow dies seen here. Same with the fence! There is a stamp set with these dies too.  

    My colors are Balmy Blue, Bubble Bath & Granny Apple Green.  I made the cloudy sky with the Border Basics dies and a Blending Brush. Watch the video here to see how I put this scene together and how I made the adorable pig. 

    I created a project sheet for this card; click on this link to download or print it.  Download Cutest Cows – Pig version

  • Cutest Cows card with video tutorial & FREE project sheet!


    There are just 4 days left of Sale-a-Bration!  The free goodies end Thursday!

    ~~~

    I shared this cute card on last week's video. We made it at my February Card Clubs. 


    Isn't it adorable?  My colors include Black, White, Pool Party & Old Olive.  The Cutest Cows bundle can be seen here.  

    Instead of using the image that fits the Cow Builder punch for the front we punched the head and body from White card stock and colored in Black spots. We did use the nose/mouth and eyes/eyebrows images though.  

    You can download & print the free project sheet by clicking here: Download Feb 24 Cutest Cows Club

    The grass is from the Garden Meadow dies seen here.  The cloud DSP is from the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper and the striped paper is the Rock & Roll DSP in the Spring catalog.  

    Check out the inside: 

    I love the greetings in this bundle that work so perfectly with the cow.  'Milk it for all it's worth!' 

    Click here or on the photo below to watch the video. I share this plus two more cards using this adorable punch bundle. And they're not just cows!

  • Quiet Reflection and Delightful Floral Fancy Fold card swaps with measurements!


    Today I'm sharing the last of our Team fun fold swaps. I'm adding measurements for each of them.  If you've missed the previous posts please click on the title of this post and scroll to see each one.  

    The first card was made by Candy. She made a simple fold back card that is so easy but so pretty!

    She is featuring the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here.  Her samples and the next one sold me on this set. I love that it's a monochromatic card – it's totally fitting for this set. 

    Product used: Deckled Rectangles, Softly Sophisticated stamps & embossing folder (SAB), Gold & Vanilla 3/8" satin edges ribbon

    Measurements:

    • Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" textured layer, inside is 4" X 5 1/4", die-cut is 2 1/4" X 3 1/2"
    • Misty Moonlight die-cut is 2 1/2" X 3 7/8"

    ~~~

    Karen made this next card using the same Quiet Reflection stamp set. Her beautiful card is also monochromatic; using Pebbled Path with Vanilla. 

    The front layer opens to reveal a second inside layer that opens.  Quite unique and actually easy to make too.  

    Measurements:

    • Pebbled Path card base 6 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", front layer 2 3/4" X 3 3/4", inside is 2 7/8" X 3 3/4"
    • Vanilla front is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", inside is 7 3/4" X 4 3/4" score at 3 7/8", greeting strip is 3 1/2" X 1/2" 
    • DSP 2" X 5 1/2" 

    ~~~

    Paula made this beautiful card with a few of our Online Exclusive products.  We have sooo many now & more coming in March! Check them all out here; I know you'll see a few new things!

    The designer paper is the Delightful Floral seen here.  She used the pretty Translucent Floral bundle for her greetings and die-cuts.  See it here. 

    Measurements:

    • Parakeet Party card base 11" X 5 1/4" score at 4" & 5 3/4" for the right two score lines. From the left score down at 1 3/4" to the 1 1/4" mark from the top and up from the bottom. Move over to the 3 1/2" mark (from the left) and do this again. Now you'll cut across from the first score line to the 5 1/4" score line and cut across.  
    • Mossy Meadow 2 1/2" square, 1 1/2" X 2 1/2", plus the back card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • White inside is 3 3/4" X 5", 2 1/4" square and 1 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • Vellum, DSP & black pieces for flowers & leaves *she colored her vellum
    • DSP – 2 pieces 1 1/2" X 5 1/4", 4 pieces 1 1/2" X 1" 

    It's quite the special card isn't it?  It's called a side shutter card and was cased from Wendy Cranford. This paper and bundle are definitely my style. 

    I hope you've enjoyed our many samples of fancy fold cards this past week.  My Flowerbug's are the best!
