Today I am sharing three different cards that use the same simple layout! I did this for one card and then wanted to keep using this layout! It’s so quick and easy!!! Truly, you could use this layout for about any stamp set/bundle you own!
- Start with your card base
- Pick a panel of 4″ x 5 1/4″ cardstock or Designer Series Patterned Paper. You can add some embossing with an embossing folder if you wish
- Select 2 different pieces of Designer Series Paper or Specialty Paper and attach at an angle. I used both 1/2″ and 1/4″ widths. Determine what orientation you want – vertical or horizontal – that will determine where you attach these strips.
- Trim off excess angled paper
- Create your focal point – words, leaves, twine, sprigs etc!
- Attach to card front and you have a quick, easy card you will be proud to send!
Here is the recording of my Facebook Live –
This card features all new products from the Winter Meadow Suite in our Sept- Dec Mini Catalog –
This next card features the Autumn Harvest Suite – the embossing folder is called Leaf Fall and can be found in the Online Exclusives section of my online store.
For the third card, I changed the orientation of the card and used the Masterfully Made DSP and a new bundle called Heartfelt Hexagon for my focal point.
This bundle is one of the bundles that will be featured in our Oct 7 World Card Making Event! Have you registered yet? It’s a free event and will be a fun crafty time, but you do need to register! Here’s a link to register:
WORLD CARD MAKING DAY! You can purchase the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle by simply clicking below where all the products are listed. I’d so appreciate your order!
Which is your favorite card of these three? If I had to pick one, I would pick the Autumn themed card – maybe just because it’s that time of year! Which would you pick?

Yesterday for my Facebook Live I created two different cards based on two different card tutorials I shared to my email list subscribers. I loved the layouts of the cards and wanted to make them with different products! I am loving the Earthen Textures Suites – it’s very chic and quite stunning! Here’s a look at the suite –
Here’s the recording of the card on made on today’s Facebook Live. You will be able to see the measurements for the cards as you watch along on the video recording.
The first card is a fun fold – a small panel opens from the center section of the card. I used a die to create an interesting panel for the inside, too.
My next card shows a unique way to cut a 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP – simply mark each side at 1 1/2″ and then cut – you can see how i do this in the Facebook Replay. By cutting it in this way, you will have four identical panels to create four cards. I love the combination of colors in this card:
If you like these cards, then you will love my latest Card Class to go – it features this suite – and includes product plus 6 different cards, a complete PDF with measurements and a video that will walk you through each project. Details below!
Our Class to Go for August features the Earthen Textures bundle, beautiful Designer Series Paper and adhesive backed sequins! Combine these products to create stunning cards!

It’s always a pleasure when Lucy is in my studio! She loves stamping and wanted to make a special card for her boss who is a chef. We pulled out the Supremely Awesome stamp set and created a fun card! I added the scallop at the top of the card to resemble a pizza parlor awning!
Follow along in our Fb live recording to see how this card comes together. You will see my take on the card and Lucy’s take.
