My post today showcases a beautiful slimline “triple fold” card – and features the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper that can be earned free with a $50 product order during Saleabration. Saleabration ends this coming Sunday, Feb. 28 – so don’t miss out on your chance to get some great free product!
My card also uses the In Bloom Bundle from our January – June Mini Catalog. This bundle coordinates with the Paper Blooms DSP. I made a video to show how this card goes together.
The flowers and leaves are cropped from the DSP – and I love that the dies all have stitching!
Below is the second panel – I attached the circle with the stamped words onto this panel.
And the inside view:
My video also includes instructions for a matching envelope – I love to make these and they really aren’t hard at all. Hope you will give it a try!

In my Facebook Live on Monday, I shared two cards featuring two different Saleabration products that are free with a $50 order – the beautiful Heal Your Heart stamp set and the Field and Floral DSP.
The first card I shared was the beautiful Heal Your Heart Stamp set paired it with the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. Does this card look familiar to you? I copied it directly out of the Saleabration brochure – it is simple and very elegant looking! Our catalogs are a source of amazing project ideas – don’t be afraid to use them in your crafting!
If you missed my FB Live, you can watch it on replay below!
I LOVE the font used in the Heal Your Heart stamp set – for this card I stamped it in Night of Navy on a Basic White Stitched Circle.
The second card featured the Flower and Field DSP – I punched 1 1/2″ circles from the DSP and added them to my card front. I used the largest Stitched with Whimsy Dies to create a stitched border around the card front.
I pulled out my new favorite tool – the Blending Brushes – and added some Pool Party ink to my daisy – pulling this idea from the DSP – the daisys have a touch of Pool Party towards the center. I love the colors in this card and in the DSP – it sure brings a touch of sunshine to my day – and hope it brightened your day as well!

This week I’ve been sharing different ways to use the True Love DSP – of course you can switch up these ideas by using any DSP you have in your stash.
Today’s project makes a great gift – a card holder for four cards (you could easily make six and they would fit!)
The holder uses an Acetate Card Box. I simply cut it in half at four inches to create two pockets- one for the cards and one for the envelopes.
You can watch my Facebook Live Take 2 to see how easily this goes together! Enjoy!
MEASUREMENTS:
Cut two 4 1/2 x8 3/4 pieces of Basic Black Cardstock. Score at 1 1/2.
The top strip is 1 1/4 x 4 1/4, Bottom is 3/4 x 3 5/8
Petal Pink Cardstock 4 1/4 x51/2
True Love DSP- Dot – 2 1/2 x 5 1/4
True Love DSP – Stripe – 1 1/2 x 5 1/4
Here are a few photos of the cardholder! The first one is opened up showing both sides. Envelopes on one side, cards on the other!
Here’s a closeup of the cards slipped into the 1/2 Acetate Card Box! As you can see there is room for more if you wanted to do a set of six!
Here’s a closeup of the envelope side. Each envelope flap is decorated with coordinating True Love Designer Series Paper DSP.
Here’s a look at the four cards in the gif pack! All decorated with the beautiful black and white True Love Designer Series Paper with a pop of Petal Pink, embellishments and ribbon!

The first card I made couldn’t be simpler! But it is stunning in person! I used the Pearlescence Specialty Paper – embossed it first with the Seashells 3-D embossing folder, and then cropped it with the Seaside Seashells Dies. I find it easier to emboss first – and then position the die over the embossed shells for accurate placement.
I experimented with positioning the Pearlescent die cut over different colors of cardstock, but the Basic White was my favorite. I stamped and cropped the sand dollar and added the words, and finished the card with some loops of Linen Thread and Opal Rounds.
My next card highlighted more products – the Designer Series Paper, 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon in Seaside Spray tucked behind a panel of Seaside Spray, and the Seabed embossing folder.
I combined these two designer papers to create the look of a beach – the water rolling in over the sand and seashells. I tore the blue paper to create a look of the water washing in.
Hope you enjoy today’s projects! Thanks for stopping by!

The Fine Art Floral Suite was an easy pick as the “most beautiful” suite in our January – June Mini Catalog! The products in this suite are just gorgeous! From the beautiful “hand painted” designer paper, to the beautiful floral stamps and many word stamps to the gorgeous acetate sheets – this is a collection not to be missed!
I created several projects with this suite on my Facebook Live this week – and I am sharing them with you now!
You can watch my Facebook Live by clicking the graphic below.
First up were some super simple cards – these fit the bill when you need to get a card into the mail “pronto!” For these cards, you simply cut the Designer Series Paper to a 3″ x 4″ panel – and mount onto a coordinating color of card stock measuring 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. Adhere this panel to a card front and add your greeting, and you have your card! When the paper is as stunning as the Fine Art Floral DSP is, you really don’t need much more than that for a quick, yet beautiful card!
The next card I created shows several products from the suite – the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder, the Designer Paper with the Golden Garden Designer Series Specialty Acetate. The Acetate really makes a striking addition to the DSP!
The last card I created is a fun and different shape! It’s always fun to change things up a bit – and that’s what this card does! I used a narrow panel of Thick Basic White as my card base – 2 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2. I cut two panels of DSP measuring 2 x 5 1/4 – one for the card front and one for the inside of the card.
I used the largest circle and scallop circle from the Layering Circle Dies – cutting two scallop circles in Old Olive, one circle in Whisper White and one circle in the Acetate. (tip: the Acetate comes with a thin layer of “saran” on it – be sure to remove it before you add it to your card.)
I used a full size card base to position the floral image – making sure it fit inside the dimensions of a standard card to ensure that it would fit in a regular sized envelope for mailing.
Here’s the inside view of the card:
To finish the card, I added a knot of the Fine Art 3/8″ ribbon and a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.
