Paper Blooms Kite Fold Card

Feb 24, 2021 | 3 Comments

Back on January 23rd, I was one of the video presenters at an event called Demos Galore which was held virtually like it had been the time before in September. For my video presentation I created and shared several cards and projects featuring the In Bloom Bundle and the coordinating Sale-a-Bration designer paper. I’ve shared two of those projects in recent blog posts. But today I thought I’d share show another one of the fun folds and then show ALL the projects that were in that presentation.

So I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating a Kite Fold Card using the Paper Blooms Designer Paper (available through February 28, 2021) and the coordinating In Bloom Bundle (the In Bloom Stamp Set and the Pierced Blooms Dies). 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 the kite card I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).

More Paper Blooms Designer Paper Project Ideas

Feb 23, 2021 | 0 Comments

One of my favorite Sale-a-Bration freebies is the Paper Blooms 12×12 Designer Paper. The colors are fresh and the images are bold. Plus the floral designs coordinate so nicely with the In Bloom Bundle (In Bloom Stamp Set & Pierced Blooms Dies) from the Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog.

I featured the designer paper and these coordinating products during a recent online event called Demos Galore. So of course I made several cards and projects. Some of these projects I have already shared with you recently: this card shown below on January 25th…

and these 2-compartment boxes on January 27th…

I’m sharing ten more with you today. And then tomorrow during my live on YouTube (11 AM Central Time), I will show even more and teach you how to make a kite fold card. Yay!

Here is a photo of the beautiful Paper Blooms 12×12 Designer Paper.

And here are ten more cards I put together for the Demos Galore event to feature this paper. A few of them I copied from others because I loved the cards designs so much. But I added their names in the watermarks of the photos to give them credit. I hope these cards inspire your creativity.

This first one I designed based on the layout of Ashley Carlson’s swap card shared on December 18th.

This next one is the same fold I taught in my February 10th post/video, a Flap Fold Card.

These three show off the swirled circle images from one of the patterns in the designer paper. And the cards follow a sketch challenge that several in my Stampers With ART group were creating around recently.

Here is that sketch challenge…

This next one I CASEd from fellow demonstrator, Kylie Bertucci. Click here to see her card and a few other similar ones she made.

And these last four that I CASEd from fellow demonstrator, Stacey Marsh do not include the In Bloom bundle, but they show off the Paper Blooms Designer Paper so very well. Click here to see her cards and a how-to video.

Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today. Be sure to tune in to my YouTube channel tomorrow at 11 AM Central Time to learn more ins and outs of these card, see other projects featuring these products, and to watch me demonstrate the kite fold card.
