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.

  • Pick of the Patch cards with Abundant Beauty masks & video


    I made these pretty fall cards on last week's Live video. I share a Live video on my Facebook page here each Tuesday at 11am CT. 

    I love the multi-colored background!

    I used three colors of ink and the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks on the leafy background.  Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie and a bit of Wild Wheat.  

    I textured the Garden Green layer with the Basics 3D embossing folder (online Exclusive seen here).  The zig-zag is from the Basic Borders dies.  

    I used the same decorative mask to add some detail to the inside of the card too. Watch the video below to see my tips on multiple inks and masks.  

    I am so glad we have a Pumpkin builder punch in!  It has two sizes of pumpkins and a stem and leaf; all coordinates with the Pick of the Patch stamp set. These products go live for customers Wednesday, September 6th!

  • Autumn Leaves card with free project sheet; great layout for 6 X 6″ designer paper


    I created about 25 of these pretty cards for a recent online swap. We also made it at a Team Meeting in August.  

    My colors include Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Lost Lagoon, Copper and Very Vanilla.  I used the new Autumn Leaves bundle from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.  It goes live for customers on September 6th.  

    You might wonder how I achieved the two tone leaf. I inked the leaf in Pumpkin Pie ink and rubbed off the edges a bit.  Then I added Pretty Peacock ink to the edges of the stamp with a sponge dauber, huffed and stamped.  

    Here's the inside: 

    These products go live to customers on Wednesday, September 6th.  Is the Autumn Leaves bundle or the All About Autumn designer paper on your list?  

    Remember you can get 12 sheets of this gorgeous designer paper in my Holiday Paper Share happening now.  Details here.
