I received a swap card from fellow demonstrator, Paula Nicely and featured it on my blog on April 12th. I had several requests for more details, so I decided to create a few variations of this fun fold using some of the new products and share it with all of you.
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this Criss Cross pocket card using new products debuting in less than a week in the 2021-22 Annual Catalog: Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set, Penned Flowers Dies, Genial Gems, and the Hand-Penned Designer Paper. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).

Thank you SO much, Rachel, for always being so generous in sharing your creative ideas, videos, measurements and impressive talents with your fans and followers <3
Aww…hugs to you!
hi Rachel,
How do they determine what to retire.
I’m sure a lot of factors play into those decisions. Sometimes a very popular thing is retired because it has something similar in the new catalog. Sometimes something leaves because it’s not selling well. And sometimes things leave because it was only going to “live so long” in the catalog anyways.
Thanks Rachel. Such a pretty card.
Thanks Pam!
love this hand penned suite – my favorite of the new catalog
thank you for the new card seed packet card
Thanks Barbara!
Rachel, these cards are a lovely way to say just about anything and we all need cards like that. Your combinations are so sweet and calming. You must love all the green in this suite! Even though this card is a fun fold, your video was easy to follow. You’re an excellent teacher and artist, my friend.
thank you so much Bonnie. You are so good to me. 😘
What a lovely gift in a pretty card – for anyone at any time of the year! I have been taking Evening Primrose oil for years and use it as a hand-cream too! ~ C ~
Glad you like the cards, Christine! Is primrose one of the flowers?
I love all of your cards Rachel. These ones are so pretty and feminine!
Thanks Kylie. 😘
