Seashells fun fold card; wow!

Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap. 

I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea!  She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder. 

Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper.  This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here. 

That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here. 

Measurements: 

• Gray Granite 8 1/2" X 5 1/4" and trim off 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" on the upper left front. Front is 4" X 2 3/4"
• Pearlescent paper is also 4" X 2 3/4" 
• Blushing Bride 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" inside, 2 7/8" X 4 1/8" front
• Vanilla inside is 2 3/4" X 4"

Happy Thoughts Fun Fold cards kit to go; opt in by the 18th!

Lately I've been offering two different pre-cut card kits each month.  I'm finding so many great products to feature; I cannot help it!  And I like offering a variety of options for my customers.  

Did you notice the Happy Thoughts stamp set in the new Spring catalog?  It's filled with beautiful greetings; something many of us cannot get enough of.  So I created a group of 8 fun fold cards around this set.  Look!

I also decided to use the Happy Blooms designer paper; I love the colors & patterns so much.  This paper is free with any $50 online order from now through February 28th.  See it here. 

Here are two unique cards in this kit.  Remember you get two of each in the kit; one to keep for ideas and one to send.

    

I also used a few images from the Pretty Perennials stamp set; but any floral set could work.

January's Card Kits to go; 1st is True Love black & white with pops of color!

I was so happy when I saw the True Love designer paper in the new Spring Catalog.  I absolutely LOVE black & white prints in our papers!  I find it's the most versatile to use since you can add ANY COLOR you want to it and Black and White makes it POP! 

If you like to fussy cut or color you'll fall in love with this pretty paper. 

Look at these pretty cards! And you can color the floral images with markers OR fussy cut them out to add beautiful detail to the cards.

I created 5 cards; two of each design for a total of 10 cards. Three of the five designs are unique fun folds too. *see photo below

You'll receive all pre-cut, punched & die-cut pieces, 1/2 package of True Love Designer paper (6" X 12"), black glittered ribbon, Black matte gems and a share of 2020-22 In Color enamel dots so you can finish these cards at home.  

       

I chose to use the Vine Design stamp set since it's full of a wide variety of greetings and the lovely vine and floral images too.  You can add on either the stamp set or bundle at an extra 10%!  It fits in the package and costs nothing extra in shipping costs. And if you do you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration choice also.

I used Black, Real Red and Just Jade inks. Remember you'll stamp your own images.
