A Touch of Ink Fun Fold card with Oh So Ombre; quick & easy!

We made these pretty fun fold cards at my February card clubs!  I think the A Touch of Ink stamp set is incredibly versatile!  There was an option for everyone's needs. 

I shared this card on my FB Live yesterday plus two others with this paper & stamp set.  You can see it here.  

Aren't they pretty?!  I feel like these two Sale-a-Bration choices go together perfectly.  The Ombre DSP lets the stamp shine though.  You can get either or both free with an order through February 28th.  Sale-a-Bration ends then and there won't be anymore 'free' with purchase options.  

Go here to see the A Touch of Ink stamp set and here to see the Oh So Ombre DSP.  

I added some of our new Black Matte gems and the pretty Black Glittered ribbon too.  That neat stitched die-cut is from the Stitched Nested Label dies seen here. 

Measurements:

• Black 5 ½” X 8 ½” score at 1 ½” and 4 ¼”
• Designer Paper - 5 1/2" X 6". Cut in order from left to right so the pattern matches making sure the 6" side is along the top.  2 ¾” X 5 ¼”, 1 1/8” X 5 ¼”, 2 1/8” X 5 ¼”. Plus the last piece on the right is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
• White inside 2 3/4" X 3 1/2", die-cut is 2" X 3 3/4"
• Black strip 1" X 2 3/4"

Berry Delightful Fun Fold cards with video

Here are the cards we made at my January Card Clubs featuring the Berry Delightful bundle in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Everyone loved how easy this fold is!  

 

I gave them the choice of either blueberry or raspberry cards; this stamp set and designer paper work beautifully with both!  It also pairs fabulously with the Sweet Strawberry bundle too! 

I used Rich Razzleberry & Pacific Point card stock and ink on these cards; plus some Garden Green ink.  

Check it out here on the Sale-a-Bration choices; the Designer paper and stamp set are FREE with a $100 order while supplies last. 

And remember that those who order this bundle from me get a free 10 cards pre-cut kit and PDF tutorial!!  I have a few left. 

And it uses your card stock efficiently too! Measurements are below. 

     

See that gorgeous stitching around the inside layer?  That's the new Stitched with Whimsy dies. They stitch but don't cut.  There are 6 assorted sizes in this set.  You can see it here.  

Measurements:

• Main card 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" scored at 5 1/2"
  Designer paper 1 3/4" X 4"
  White 2 1/2" X 3 1/4" for front, 4" X 5 1/4" inside front layer 2 3/4" X 3 1/2"

You can catch my tips on stamping these 2-step images and the fun fold design below in my video.

Darling Donkey's Birthday card

The Darling Donkey's stamp set (seen here) is one of the most popular sets in our Sale-a-Bration promotion right now.  So I chose to use it for my card clubs in January.  We made this cute but easy card: 

The colors are Pool Party, So Saffron and Black.  That cute designer paper is called Flower & Field and is also from our Sale-a-Bration promotion that runs through February.  See it here. 

Both are free with any $50 order!  I love Sale-a-Bration where we can earn free items with an order.  

Sale-a-Bration traditionally runs through March. But this year it's one month short because they're offering another one in July & August!! So we actually get an extra month this year!  

The inside is stamped with the third Sale-a-Bration choice called Approaching Perfection. See it here.  It has lots of fun birthday greetings! 

You can watch the video for this quick card below.  

Measurements:

• Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• So Saffron 2" X 4 1/4"
• Flower & Field DSP 3" X 5 1/2"
• White die-cut 2 1/2" X 4" 

I used the Balloon Bouquet punch with this DSP for a quick accent.  I glued the Black & White twine down with liquid Multipurpose Glue.  The donkey is colored in with Blends markers.

Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend!  We sure did.  It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together. 

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs.  It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too.  It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style.  Scroll down to see the video. 

You just need three circles of different sizes.  I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges.  I use these dies so much!  If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here. 

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets.  Just one ink color; Night of Navy. 

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives.  See that video here.  

The above cards were made with various designer papers & stamp sets.  The top is Classic Christmas, left is Heartwarming Hugs and right is Snowflake Splendor. 

Measurements:

• Main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• Neutral (White or Vanilla) is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
• Greeting strip is 1/2" X 5" 
• Circles are the largest three stitched circle dies 1 3/4", 2 3/8" & 2 7/8"

Gift Wrapped Box Fold Card with video

Check out this cute Christmas card we made at my October Card Clubs!  It's a box fold card; a super cute but easy fun fold. 

The colors are Real Red with Granny Apple Green & White. The dies on the front are the Stitched Shapes and Hippos & Friends.

It even folds flat for mailing!  As you can see the back is similar to the front; leaving some space to write or sign the card.  

I used the Gift Wrapped punch bundle from the Holiday catalog.  You can see it here. 

Check out the video and measurements below. 

Here's the video:

Real Red 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2", 7", 9" and 10 1/2"

Trio of Celebrate Sunflowers cards with video & an easy highlighting technique!

Look at these gorgeous sunflower cards!  They were a big hit at my Card Clubs this month.  They could chose between Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral ink for their sunflower. 

We sponged each sunflower leaving the center without color except for a bit of Crumb Cake Blends marker.  I know it might not be realistic but I like the pop of White in the center for brightness. 

Check out the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle here. 

Then we used White Craft ink and Blender pens to highlight a few petals here and there on the sunflowers.  It's super easy! I created a video below so you can see how it's done. 

Measurements:

• Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scraps for die-cuts
  Whisper White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", plus a 3 1/2" piece for sunflower
  Early Espresso 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
  In Good Taste DSP 1 3/4" X 4 3/4"
