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.



All measurements in inches

  1. Two Piece Base: Basic White 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored @ 4-1/4.

    Basic White 2-3/4 x 5-1/2 score on the short side @ 1/2” adhere this scored section to the back of the larger piece on the left.

  2. Starry Sky 4 x 5-1/4 layer on outside of larger base.

    DSP (Tahitan Tide print) 3-3/4 x 5 adhere on top of Starry Skylayer

    DSP 5 x 1-3/4 adhere on top of Starry Sky layer If desired: for inside the left front flap repeat Starry Sky layer and DSP layers

  4. Mini Card that attaches to the front: 5-1/2 x 3-1/2 score on long side @2-3/4 and adhere to back of small flap on card base. Starry Sky layer 2-1/2 x 3-1/4 DSP layer 2-1/4 x 3

  5. Diecut Tahitian Tide cup, then diecut the leaf pattern for cup in Basic White. Adhere to front with dimensionals.

  6. Diecut lemon and sections from Crushed Curry and So Saffron, adhere to top of cup.

  7. Stamp in Starry Sky onto Basic White then Diecut teabag and adhere to Baker's Twine with glue dots, then attach the teabag with a dimensional.
