Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the Hand-Penned Suite!

Be ready to be immersed in this fantastic suite with all that we have to share. In addition to the suite products, you’ll also notice now that there is an addition pack of beautiful black & white designer paper now out there called Beautifully Penned. This paper coordinates well with this suite and is free with a qualifying order (in the US that amount is $50 not including shipping and tax). I didn’t use that paper in the card I’m sharing today, but I did in my exclusive tutorial project (see below for details on how you can get that tutorial bundle).

A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube step-by-step directions for how to make a Double Slider Card using the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set, the Penned Flowers Dies, the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper, the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper, and the new Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots. It looks like a complicated card, but it’s done with a super simple mechanism – a loop of thin plastic! 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 (and the peek of the Beautifully Penned Designer Paper!). 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).
