Make the most of your double sided DSP! FB Live Stampin' with Me tonight!

The 2nd & 4th Monday nights are Stamp with Me FB Live videos.  I share a layout and encourage my followers to stamp right along with me.  They prep their pieces ahead of time and we stamp together. Join us here.  

Here's what we're making tonight at 7:30 pm CT: 

Here are a few more versions of this layout.  I love it!  Many of our double sided papers coordinate so nicely.  Check your favorite Designer Papers and you can create some fast and special cards. 

  

The greetings are from the You Are Amazing stamp set on page 7 of the Spring catalog. You can see it here. 

I used the following dies & punches for my greetings: Painted Poppies (circle), Stitched So Sweetly (below), Label Me Lovely (Navy), Story Label (Seaside Spray) and Banners Pick a Punch (banners).

Striking cards with Pretty Perennials with True Love DSP

If the True Love designer paper hasn't caught your eye yet look at these cards:  

I paired it with the Pretty Perennials stamp and dies bundle for a recent FB Live.  I used Bermuda Bay, Real Red and black. Simple Stamping at it's best!  No die-cuts or punches either!  Sometimes it's fun to just stamp and layer.  

You can see the measurements below. I try to share the printed list in my videos so they're easy to jot down.

Lastly here's the stepped-up card I made using heat embossing and the Perennial Petal dies.  See the Pretty Perennial bundle here.

I also used our new Blending Brushes to add color to the white flowers.  Love these so much! 

Measurements are below and you can watch the FB Live replay video below: 

I think cards featuring black and White with a pop of color are so striking and stand out.  What do you think?

Quick yet beautiful cards with the True Love Designer paper & video

Sometimes you can let the designer paper do all of the work.  Look at this classy, beautiful card I made with the True Love Designer Paper! 

This designer paper is all Black & White, full of floral and other prints you can use as is or color like I did above.  Click here to see it online.  

I heat embossed the greeting and punched the end with our new Treasured Tags Pick a Punch.

This beautiful stamp set has a gorgeous font and is free with any $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration (SAB).  SAB is a perfect time to purchase from your wish list since you get something FREE with your orders.  See the Heal your Heart set here.   

I used Daffodil Delight Blends marker to color in the flowers; coloring mainly on the printed lines on the flowers. Granny Apple Green for the leaves. Simple & quick! 

I also made two more striking cards with this paper and the Pretty Perennials bundle. You can watch the Live video below. 

Measurements:

• Designer Paper 3" X 4"
• Black layer 3 1/4" X 4 1/4", greeting strip is 1/2" X 3 3/4"

Easiest Shaker card you'll ever make!

Giving an interactive card makes the card extra special like shakers, spinners or fun folds.  But they can be time consuming or a lot of work.  

I used the free 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  You can see it here.  That background was made with our Blending Brushes and Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink.

This type of shaker card is truly easy; really!  Besides the stamped element you need three basic things:

1.  A clear envelope
2. Strong adhesive
3. Sequins, beads or tiny punched pieces

Insert your stamped card stock into the clear envelope, fold the excess envelope over to the back and seal with adhesive leaving one end open.  Add your fun filler and seal closed.  

The pretty sequins in this card are the Woven Threads sequins in the annual catalog on page 157.

I made a video in December on making one of these shaker cards.  Even though it's a Christmas card it's the same technique. Here it is:

Easy Fun Fold card! Stamp with Me tonight on FB Live

Tonight at 7:30 pm I'm making these easy fun fold cards on Facebook Live!  Join me and create right along with me.  Click here to join me on my FB page. 

I used the Paper Blooms DSP, Stitched in Whimsy & In Bloom bundle in Night of Navy & White. This pretty designer paper is free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  See it here. 

See that neat stitching on the inside of the card?  That's my new favorite 'Stitched with Whimsy' dies; seen here. 

I used both the dies and the stamp set on my front panels.  I also stamped the greeting on the inside layer on the bottom left card.  

You can see this neat In Bloom bundle here.  Look at these dies!  Love the stitching!

Measurements:

Main card 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" scored at 5 1/2" *save the extra piece for the front layer ( 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"

White 4" X 5 1/4", 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"

DSP 1 3/4” X 4”.

 

The neat thing about this card is that you can use what you cut off of the main card as your layer on the front flap.  Love that! 

 

 

I hope to see you tonight here on Facebook!
