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.

  • Pretty Florals fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet!


    Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video.  It' features lots of new products from the 2025-26 Annual Catalog. Yay! This catalog & lost of new product goes live tomorrow! 

    My colors include Misty Moonlight with Timid Tiger and White.  The floral stamp set is called Pretty Florals and will be available on May 6th. The greeting is from the Blooming Phrases set.  

    I believe this fun fold is called a diamond fold.  It starts out with a 11" X 4 1/4" card base with two score lines.  Where the diamond layers are added is the second score line.  Simply trim off the excess on the left side of the diamond layers.  *watch the video here to understand

    This is one of those cards where the video helps you more than a tutorial does.  Please watch the video below to understand how this fold works. 

    But if you like having the instructions with measurements here's the free project tutorial for you.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Pretty Florals diamond fold

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more too. Both are made with this upcoming bundle from the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog. It goes live on May 6th.

  • Yay! My New Catalog Launch Party is tomorrow!


    With each new catalog I host an open house for my local customers.  I love prepping for these because it gets my display boards done.  The best part is that I get to see people I don't get see regularly.  It's a joy to watch friends meet up and visit while browsing the new catalog. I also truly enjoy planning my menu and treating them to lots of yummy food. 

    This event is in Minot, ND at my home studio. If you're local I hope you can stop in and pick up your new catalog!

    One of the most popular things I offer with the new Annual Catalog is my In Color bundle.  They love getting the new colors in a great sampling of new color products they can enjoy right away.
