Joyful Flurry

 Here's another sneak peek at what you will find in the new July to December Holiday mini catalog. The snowflake is a partial die, which means it cuts a partial image out. I Place the die In the center of the printed square pattern on the DSP. Which by the way is called Lights Aglow.

The Green DSP is from last year's catalog I just couldn't help but use that paper because it's got snowflakes on it.

Sneak Peeks

 The new July - December Holiday Catalog and SALE-A-BRATIONS catalogs go live in just 9 more days! I have two more cards to show you. 

On the first one, I used some 6 x 6 DSP from the SALE-A-BRATIONS catalog. It's called Gold & Silver Foil. I used my blending brushes to apply Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and Flirty Flamingo inks to the paper. The gold is metallic, so it doesn't absorb the color. I left a strip of the plain paper with polka dots in the center. For the ribbon, I used White Crinkle Seam binding, and with my dark Crushed Curry Stampin' Blend marker, I just swiped it across the ribbon... easy peasy... and it dries instantly:) I'm telling you buy a couple rolls of this ribbon. You can use alcohol ink markers to make any color ribbon you like!!

For the second card, I cased the design on page 24 of the July - Dec. catalog. The sample on that page is a box wrapped with the DSP for a gift. I just made it into a card. I don't have the stunning Distressed Gold Specialty Paper yet, (it's in the mail) so I used regular gold foil. The lighest green leaves were fussy cut from the DSP.

True Beauty on Paper!

 Today I have two cards for you using the True Beauty Bundle and the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper. The first card is not a gate fold or any sort of fun fold. I guess you could call it a faux gate fold lol. I simply used the angle die from Basic Border Dies to create two panels, that are layered on a piece of Basic White.

After diecutting the DSP, you have two pieces leftover to use on a second card,

Layer the leftover pieces like this for a different look:)

Triple Opening Card

 I saw this card from a Demo in France (Christine Fejard) and loved it. There were no measurements or directions, and she called it a Double Shutter Card. When I searched for that type of card, it didn't look anything like this. I have directions for a Double Shutter but it didn't look like this either, so I winged it. I got out some scrap DSP and retired cardstock to experiment with. I measured and cut and worked until I got it to look like Christine's card, but I'm not sure the operation is the same. I like though! I'm calling it a Triple Opening Card.
