Double Z Pansy

 This Double Z Fold is made just like one we did recently for a Class on the Gate. However the size of the inside piece is different.

On a different note, I've been noticing what greetings are in stamp sets as I select what I'd like to purchase. I put together a chart of the most common greetings that I use like: birthday, sympathy, thank you and thinking of you. If you'd like to have this to refer to when looking at the new catalog, here is a PDF file.


All measurements in inches

  1. For the card base, cut cardstock 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, score at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4

  2. For the pop out mechanism, cut cardstock 7 x 4-1/8, score at 2-3/4 and 4-7/8


The following pieces will be glued to the pop out mechanism

  1. Whisper White cardstock for front 4 x 2-1/2

  2. Whisper White cardstock for inside right pop out piece 1-7/8 x 4

  3. Fresh Freesia embossed with Painted Texture, inside the card base 4 x 5-1/4

  4. Designer Paper (select coordinating patterns)

center inside pop out piece 1-7/8 x 4

front left most panel on card base 2 x 5-3/8

  1. To assemble the card, first attach all the Designer Papers plus the stamped section and the white inside panel.

  2. To attach the two sections together easily with perfect alignment, fold and crease all score lines with a bone folder. The card base folds are mountain then valley. The pop out mechanism folds are the same, mountain then valley.

  3. First place the pop out mechanism on top of the folded card base and glue only the left side, be careful not to extend the glue past the first score line.

  4. Next glue the smaller section on the right to the card base.

New Catalog Time in 5 Days!

 Wow! I really love how this first card turned out. The stamp set is elegantly said and I also use the coordinating punch and DSP. I included pictures of the inside and the envelope just to show you how many fun images there are in this set that you can use to decorate the envelope flap, the inside of your card, the front of the envelope etc. It's just so fun!



This card was done with the Beauty of Friendship stamp set along with the coordinating DSP.

More NEW Things Coming

 I have some more pretty things to share with you today. The new catalog goes live on May 4!! 

The first card is made with a stamp set called Elegantly Said, and it comes with coordinating DSP, Metallic twine and a punch. In this sample I used Soft Suede and Copper Emboss Powder for a fun metallic blend.


The card below was made with the Quiet Meadow stamp set, and coordinating Meadow dies. This type of silhouette die is so on trend now. I'm so glad we have it too! This card has two new In Colors, Pale Paypaya, and Evening Evergreen. In the background, I stamped the flower and splatters in Pale Papaya (stamped off).

This last card was done with the Quiet Meadow bundle too. The first layer is Blushing bride, then Basic White that has been colored with Blending Brushes and Pale Papaya and Polished Pink inks. The diecuts were made from Pale Papaya, Basic White, Champagne Foil, and Blushing Bride. On the Blushing Bride flower, I stamped the flower randomly to give the look of a print.
