I have to share this neat card Chanda made for her Card Club swap. I love seeing their style and what my gals make.
She stamped the images from the Circle Celebration stamp set (seen here)all over her 4" X 5 1/4" White CS. Then she stamped more and punched and fussy cut them out to add dimension to the card.
I believe her colors are Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Real Red.
Such a fun and happy card. Great job Chanda!
I'll be using this fun stamp set in a Kit to Go in May; the cards are so fun!!

I created these cards on Facebook Live last week using the Flowering Cactus product medley seen on pages 8-9 of the Spring Catalog. But I purchased the refill kit instead of the main suite because I wanted mostly the paper, twine and felt accents.
You'll find the video below. For those of you on Facebook you can see it here.

This fold is called a Joy Fold card; a favorite of mine that is basically two half cards folded into one another.
The colors are Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and White. The greeting is from Happiest of Birthdays. The inside greeting is from Happy Thoughts set in the Spring catalog.
Next is an accordion style card. I kind of made this one up; trying to use just half of a sheet of card stock for the fold.
This greeting die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and that embossing texture is made with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder. The greeting is from Simply Succulents stamp set in the Spring catalog.
Lastly is a super simple fun fold card that shows off your designer paper well; on the front and the inside of the card. *See measurements in the photo below.
The colors here are Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral and White. The pretty Coral twine comes in the refill kit.

At first I thought this card layout might be too simple for my Stamp with Me Live video this week. But the cards turned out wonderful and really highlight your designer paper and greeting! Join me hereon Facebook for 6 Live videos each month!
These would be great cards to make a bunch of and you'd use up some of your Designer Paper stash too!
I'll share a few of them for you but be sure to watch the video below for tips and more.

Coloring these sweet girls can be intimidating but not with our Blends markers! Look at her!
I will admit that my friend & team member Audrey colored this one. She shared a bunch of stamped & colored girls with me and I've made a few cards with them. If you look closely you can see the changes in color hue that gives great dimension. Such as her skirt. See how the outside is darker than the inside? Same with her cheeks.
The Blends markers are fabulous tools!
I had a bunch of colored card stock strips laying on my desk and decided to use them for a background. I cut some into thinner strips to add interest. I did not measure; they vary in widths which adds some interest & fun.
I adhered them to a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of card stock. Then I trimmed off the excess and added the entire piece to a piece of 3 5/8" X 4 7/8" piece of Black CS before I added it to the White card base.
This stamp set will not be carried over; it will retire in June. You can see it here.

Today I'm sharing the last of the 10 cards I made on my Facebook Live video. If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well.
I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them. We're calling them 'Stripper Cards'!
Here's a favorite I made with 3/4" X 3 3/4" strips of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Pumpkin Pie.
I started out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of White CS. Starting at the bottom I added a strip and alternated colors and directions each time. I focused on keeping the tips at the same area and left the excess 'wide' end hang over the edge.
I had to leave enough space to stamp the greeting (You Are Amazing set seen here) so I stopped about 1 1/2" up. The last piece may need to be trimmed before you add that skinny little edge strip. A few Holiday rhinestones finish it off.
On my video (scroll down) I used Real Red with the Pool Party & Bermuda Bay. Which do you prefer?
~~~
This is another of my favorites! So easy and just plain fun!
I cut random lengths of 1/4" strips and adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Black card stock. The greeting is from the Sweet Ice Cream set stamped on a 1" X 4 3/4" strip of White CS. Add this and trim the ends off before you add it to the main Coastal Cabana card base.
Here are both versions; which do you prefer?
Left features Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie.
Right has Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight.
Below is the video for all 10 'stripper' card ideas using leftover strips of paper!

This week I'm sharing the cards I made on last week's Facebook Live video. If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well.
I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them.
This is one of my most favorites of all of the cards I made with my paper strips. I find the colors stunning together!
The colors are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Bumblebee & Daffodil Delight. The 1/4" strips are simply adhered to the 4 1/4" X 11" card front and the excess is trimmed off afterwards.
These unique flowers are made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here. Each flower has 4 layers.
The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays set; seen here.
~~~
Next is another striking card using the same colorful strips added horizontally this time.
The pretty leafy die-cut is from the Christmas Layers dies seen here. They're on sale for $17.40 (was $29) now while supplies last! the greeting is from the Simply Succulent set seen here.
Below is the video with 10 unique and amazing cards all made with leftover paper strips!

This is another card we made at my March Card Clubs. I featured the Snailed It Bundle seen here.
This cute designer paper is retiring and not returning in the new Annual Catalog in May. It is full of bright colors and adorable patterns. I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch seen here.
That cute envelope comes in the set of Snail dies. And quite a few of these dies coordinate with the Snail Mail designer paper too!
