I did an extra Facebook Live this week – again geaturing the All About Autumn Suite. So pretty and makes me so ready for fall!
Here’s a look at the products in the suite:
I’m not sure which part(s) of this suite is my favorite – but I do love the DSP – it is amazing – and it is the focus of the card I’m featuring today. I love pumpkins and gourds and I guess that’s why I love this dsp!
Here is the recording of my Facebook Live –
Really the only measurement needed for this card is the dsp – which is cut 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ – it fills the entire card front. The rest of the components of the card are die cut!
It goes togheter quickly once all the die cutting is done. Ink used is Cajun Craze.
Are you ready for fall? Later today I will be releasing my September Class to Go – it’s a great deal! So watch for the details – and I will have an Early Bird Special for those that register right away! YAY!

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!
