Witty-Cisms Fun-Fold card


The Witty-Cisms stamp set is a great all occasions set with fun images and cute greetings to match.  See it here. I created this cute card for a recent online card swap.

It's a fun fold card with a double opening.  The Real Red flap is scored and the scored edge is adhered under the inside White layer.  The Granny Apple Green main card is standard size but 1" is cut off the right edge to reveal the White inside.  The new Coastal Weave embossing folder was used on the front.  This embossing folder is the one I'm giving to all online orders over $65 in January.  

Sometimes with this type of fold I add the designer paper to the inside right edge so it shows from the front. This time I added it to the very front along with a stitched scalloped edge piece die-cut with the Stitched Be Mine dies seen here.  

Here are the measurements:

  • Granny Apple Green main card 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  
  • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Real Red 4" X 2 1/2"
  • Black 2 1/4" X 3 1/4"
  • 1" X 5 1/2" Granny Apple Green gingham DSP; *from the Brights 6 X 6" DSP pack seen here. 

And more details: 

  • I added a butterfly die-cut from the upcoming Nature's Thoughts dies.  They'll be available in February in the Coordination Product Release.
  • I stamped the main image three times; once on the White punch and again on Real Red for the strawberry and again on scraps of Green. These are cut out and popped up on the main image.
  • White label is the new Label Me Lovely punch seen here.  I love this new punch!  A 1 3/4" circle punch fits inside it for layering. And oval shapes do as well! 

You can find these items in my online store here.

  • Friends for Life card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    On last week's video I shared two cards featuring the neat Friends for Life bundle and the Full of Life designer paper.  Here's the first card: 

    I love the bright colors here! The colors are inspired by the Full of Life DSP – Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue & Daffodil Delight. There is a layer of Shaded Spruce under the White layer to show off the heart die-cut. 

    This neat bundle is on sale in June; discounted by almost 20%. See the Friends for Life bundle here. 

    Notice the heart die-cut from the front layer? I saved it and added it inside the card. 

    I stamped the hearts on another part of the DSP and used the coordinating die to cut them out. The 'wishes' greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

    I kept the layout quite simple because the DSP, die-cuts and stamping are the star here. I die-cut the heart from the White layer before I stamped for ease of time during the video. I stamped the 'BEST' greeting first and then added the vertical highlight image in different colors, stamping off first for a lighter hue. I love the effect!

    Here's the free project sheet you can print or download: Download Friends for Life Best Wishes here

    Below is the video for this card and another; both featuring this Full of Life suite. I hope you watch it to get the many tips I like to share in my videos.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you're there!

  • Hello Hollyhocks kit – pretty AND easy!


    I spent a few relaxing minutes putting together these pretty cards last weekend. It's the Hello Hollyhock kit from our Kit Collection. 

    They turned out beautifully! You can see this Hello Hollyhocks kit here.  It's a non-stamping kit that's all inclusive and would make a great gift or perfect for a relaxing crafting experience.  

    My cat Jazz loves to hang out with me while I stamp. 

    She wasn't much help but she did settle into the kit box somehow but was quite a tight fit!

  • Stunning cards in the Thoughtful Journey kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial


    I couldn't wait to play and create with the gorgeous Thoughtful Journey designer paper.  I think scenic paper like this makes card making a breeze!  I decided to make each card a fancy fold too. 

    I design my kit around the paper and added supplies so all you need to add is stamped greetings. I chose to use the So Sincere set this time; which you can add on at a discount. 

    This incredibly beautiful designer paper is filled with watercolor scenes and backgrounds making is super easy to create with. 

    Opt in for the card kit to go by June 18th; supplies may be limited. The PDF tutorial will be emailed to you immediately after payment; check your spam folder. The pre-cut kit is mailed at the end of June. 

    This kit includes the following:

    • All pre-cut supplies for 10 cards including card stock, die-cuts & punched pieces
    • 1/2 pkg of Thoughtful Journey designer paper (6" X 6")

    • the free PDF tutorial which has step by step directions, photos, measurements & a supplies list

    *It does not include stamped images, textured layers or adhesives.  You will need greeting images, a few colors of ink, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper. 

    Reserve your pre-cut card kit here.  It's $29 plus shipping.  Or choose the PDF tutorial option for $15  here.
