Join me, grab the popcorn and a seat and lets watch the video ….

Now lets review the dimensions for the card base … they are quite simple.

CARD BASE: 8” x 5-1/2” then score at 3” … 6” … and 7”. 

STEP PORTION: 6” x 3” then score at 4-1/4”

CUTTING DIRECTIONS FOR 6” X 6” DSP (Designer Series Paper)

  • Cut off ¾” from right side (you do not need this piece)
  • Cute ¾” off bottom (Measures ¾” x 5 ¼”)
  • From Left side cut off 2 ¾” and trim down length to 4”
  • Using the left-over piece / Flip it over to expose the decorative foil side

This beautiful paper makes creating stunning cards easy and now with the dimensions and video instructions, you to can make this card. The mini catalog will go Live on September 6th and in the meantime I’m planning some fun things and adorable to gorgeous cards for you.

Tomorrow I’ll be back with another sneak peek and with a little something old and a little something new. Thanks for hanging out with me today, have a good one!

Father’s Day Faux Step Card

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m going to share a Father’s Day Faux Step card using the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper. I also have a second card to share with you that uses the Countryside Inn Designer paper… each of these cards use the same dimensions I shared with you yesterday. Due to some difficulties filming yesterday, I’m hoping to get my video to you by tomorrow.

On this card I will be using a Boho Blue card base and the Let’s Go Fishing Designer paper …

You are seeing 3 different patterns of cardstock … one with the flies, the second that looks like water and the third in which I fussy cut 3 fish from. I love the contrast on this card and of course it works so well together, plus it highlights the fish.

Two of the fish are popped up to add some dimension to our card and the other was secured directly to the front. The greeting comes from the Gone Fishing Bundle and was die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies.

  • Card Base: 9″ x 4-1/4″ which is scored at 1-1/4″ … 2-1/2″ … and 5-3/4″.
  • Center step: 8-1/2″ x 2-1/4″ then score at 3″.
  • You need 3 pieces of designer paper; 4″ x 3″ … 4″ x 1″ (those will go on the base of the card). The 4″ x 1″ goes on the smallest panel to the front, then skip a panel, and then the 4″ x 3″ piece will go on the 3rd panel. The third measures 2″ x 5-1/4″ which goes on the step portion of your card.

My second card used the Countryside Inn Designer paper and is simply elegant ….

The greeting comes from the Layering Leaves stamp set and I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut it out. I then embellished the card with the Iridescent Rhinestones … They are very subtle as they pick up the color that they are attached to!!

Thank you for taking time out of your day to join me … Which one of these Faux Step Cards is your favorite; the Fathers Day with Let’s Go Fishing or the Hello card using the Countryside Inn?

Have a great day ~

FUN FOLD: Faux Step Card

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have a FUN FOLD for you, the Faux Step Card … it’s a peek into my Facebook LIVE last night. I shared more cards, and will share them here tomorrow, along with an updated video showing you Step by Step HOW to make the Faux Step card.

On this card I will be using a Basic White card base and the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper ….

The card used two sheets of cardstock to create the faux step …. begin with a piece of Basic White 9″ x 4-1/4″ which is scored at 1-1/4″ … 2-1/2″ … and 5-3/4″. To make the center step your Basic White piece measured 8-1/2″ x 2-1/4″ then score at 3″.

You need 3 pieces of designer paper; 4″ x 3″ … 4″ x 1″ (those will go on the base of the card). The 4″ x 1″ goes on the smallest panel to the front, then skip a panel, and then the 4″ x 3″ piece will go on the 3rd panel. The third measures 2″ x 5-1/4″ which goes on the step portion of your card.

The greeting comes from the Layering Leaves stamp set and I used the Lovely Label punch (retired) and embellished the card with the Iridescent Rhinestones … I love how they pick up the color that they are attached to!! Make sure to stop back tomorrow when I share a video and more cards using the FUN FOLD: Faux Step Card and our amazing Designer papers, now on sale!!

Thank you for joining me today, and I look forward to sharing more with you tomorrow.

Have a great day ~
