I have a few more projects to share with you that I made with products from the Blackberry Beauty Suite, a suite that debuted August 3 in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. I made these projects (and several more that I’ll be sharing in future posts) because this was the suite that I presented during a virtual event on July 31st called Demos Galore.
Two of them in the Blackberry Bliss & Early Espresso combo and two of them in the Night of Navy & Soft Suede combo are the ones I will walk you through making today. Each pair started out from my own hand-stamped “designer paper” (because at the time the Blackberry Beauty Designer Paper was unavailable). And one from each pair is a fun fold card – a Center Panel Easel Card.
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these beautiful cards using the Beauty of Tomorrow Stamp Set, Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack, Blending Brushes and ink, Gold Shimmer Paper & Ribbon, and Gilded Gems. 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).

FABULOUS ideas and video! You are a true Earth Angel to share your impressive talents along with the measurements. Thanks so much <3
Such a sweet thing to say, KT. Thank you!
Very pretty Rachel. Thank you.
I’m so glad you like them Pam. 😘
Thanks Rachel for your step-by-step instructions. Didn’t have B. of Tomorrow stamps but used the fern from Positive Thoughts & the “splatter” stamp from Whale Done. Sentiments from Shaded Summer. Really liked how it turned out and appreciate the info on the vertical fold card. Will be making more of those with thought as to where I put the embellishments & dimensionals. Great reminder tip!
You’re so welcome, Emmy Lou. I bet your card was gorgeous with those images.
Thank you for sharing.
😊
Fabulous cards Rachel. Especially love the Center Panel Easel Cards! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Kylie!
