Fun Fold card with the Tropical Chic Bundle with video

This card was a hit with my Club gals this month!  

It features the Tropical Chic bundle with the Tropical Escape designer series paper.  The unique fold makes the most of both! 

I made three versions for my club gals; they could pick from Thank You to Birthday.  I'll also share a new trick for the Tailored Tag punch that ramps up the  versatility of this punch a few notches!

This stamp bundle was on my radar from the beginning.  Yet it didn't catch the eye of some until we made this pretty card.

I think the color combination makes this card a winner.  I chose Soft Sea Foam, Grapefruit Grove and Black! I also love the simple 'Hello' greeting.  It is so versatile allowing you to turn this card into any occasion you want.

So pretty! Painted Glass & Graceful Glass card

 I changed a lot of perceptions on this pretty Painted Glass stamp set, bundle and incredible Graceful Glass vellum at my June card clubs!  

Some didn't think it was their style.  Others thought it would be difficult to work with.  Well once they made one of these pretty cards they were convinced they'd use them and love their projects too! 

If you like to color, this vellum is for you!  Seriously; it's just that good!  We colored with regular water based markers; although any markers would work.  Blends would be fabulous! 

Vellum Tips:

1. I recommend coloring on the back side as that hides any imperfections. 
2. Adhere with Multipurpose adhesive.  You can use a few little dots on the colored areas or the black lines, or a very thin smear here and there.  It doesn't show! 
3. Adhere your colored vellum to a piece of White card stock and the colors are nice and true. 

Watch my quick video to catch even more tips!

Varied Vases cool fun fold card with video!

This is the card we made at my June card clubs with the Varied Vases bundle.  

I was inspired by a card my friend Susie Wood made; I loved her color combination and had to make one too!  I changed it up to be a double flap card.  I'm not sure where the idea for this fun fold came from.  I've seen other double flap cards but not quite like this one.  

Here's how it opens up:

And the final flap lifts up:

Super cool 'You Move Me' interactive card with video!

 It's genius how these images flutter when you pull the card up!  It looks like it would be extremely difficult too.  But it's sure not!

I chose to use Peekaboo Peach with Black, White and Calypso Coral.  The greetings are from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set.
