Fun Fold Friday: Twisted Easel with a Twist!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today, I’m sharing a card design that’s sure to leave you (and your recipients) spinning with excitement – the Twisted Easel Fun Fold! This fun fold is one of my all-time favorites because it’s easy to create, packs a big “wow” factor, and works for so many occasions. But wait – there’s more! I’ve added an extra twist to one of my cards, and I can’t wait for you to see it.

Not only am I showcasing this fabulous fold, but I’m also giving the spotlight to the NEW Greetings for All Ephemera Pack. Trust me, these beautiful embellishments take your cards to the next level with minimal effort!

This set features a wide range of precut sentiments in a variety of styles, perfect for saying thanks, hello, congratulations, and more. The simple black and white colors ensure you’ll have a perfect fit for any design style.

What You’ll See in the Video

I walk you through step-by-step how to create the Twisted Easel Fun Fold. Whether you’re new to fun folds or a seasoned pro, you’ll love how simple this design is to put together. One of them even has a surprising twist – be sure to watch closely!

My first card features the Regal Winter designer paper …. Closed for mailing.

This is the Regal Winter Twisted Easel card opened ….

Here is the fun fold with a twist … as stated in the video, we’ve created the look of an A-2 card but still gave you the Twisted Easel done with the Winter Meadow Designer Paper.

Now that you’ve watched the video, I’d love to hear from you! Which card was your favorite? Do you love the added twist? Let me know in the comments below or on my YouTube channel.

Until next time, happy stamping!

Twelve Weeks of Christmas / Embossing Paste: Techniques & Tips

Hello Stampin’ Friends, Today I have the replay of last nights Facebook LIVE and the Merriest Tree’s stamp set. I shared two FUN techniques using the Shimmer White Embossing Paste! You’ll find these techniques to add a creative flair to your cardmaking and/or scrapbooking. Ready … Let’s take a look! 

So … Have you ever “painted” your embossing paste onto your projects? What a fun and simple way to add texture to your projects and “sparkle” if you purchase the Shimmer White! Just tipping the ends of the Merriest Tree adds a touch of whimsy and texture that is sure to delight. Get creative, as this technique can be used on any die cut shape. 

The next card uses a template we created with the Merriest Tree’s dies. You pull the embossing paste into it and even it out, just as you do for an embossing “mask”. It’s super simple. Now you know that YOU can create any die shape and add the embossing paste to it … and texture it like I did in the video! How cool is that!? Techniques and tips all rolled into one. 

Now… my last card I’m sharing was created using up the left overs from the mask / template that I made for the above card. I hope you picked up a new technique or two, or a couple a tips shared during the video. 

Time to try out these techniques and experience the Embossing Paste for yourself. Have fun and thanks for spending some time with me today.
