Today I’m presenting to you another card that we made at the Silver Elite Retreat in December. It’s a very pretty card that is much easier to make than it looks! The products I use are mainly from the 2019 Occasions Catalog: The Forever Lovely Stamp Set, the coordinating Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies, and a few Heart Epoxy Droplets. And then you’ll need the fabulous Stamparatus Tool. 🙂
This card is a hard one to explain without a video. So I shared it in my Wednesday’s Facebook Live broadcast. I uploaded the recorded version of this video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). I hope you enjoy these ideas! Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the measurements and full products list below, scroll through the close-up photos of the cards I created, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Here are close-up photos and the measurements you’ll need if you plan to recreate any of these projects.
Measurements…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4-1/4”
Here is how this piece will look after it is die-cut.
Here is the card I demonstrated in the video – the one with the Grapefruit Grove ink.

Aren’t these pretty?!

On January 5th I shared a fun box that I had demonstrated earlier in the week in my Facebook Live broadcast. In that broadcast – the video that I also shared on my January 5th post, I presented another version of that box made with a much larger piece of cardstock.

Here is the box I introduced in my broadcast.

I’m so excited to share this fun self-closing box idea with you today! I’ve seen these odd-shaped boxes before, but getting one from my friend/fellow demonstrator, Nancy Reynolds as a gift at OnStage this past November gave me that extra motivation to start making them myself. And WOW!! They are easy! Click here to see the box Nancy made for me. (She CASEd it from the lovely Dawn Griffith. Nancy gave me the deep red one!)
I wanted to share with all of you how to make these boxes using some of our new products in the 2019 Occasions Catalog, so I put together a variety of them and then shared the step-by-steps in my Wednesday Facebook Live Broadcast.

CLING STAMPS ARE HERE!

We are nearing the end of the 2018 Holiday Catalog and coming up on the January 3rd debut of the 2019 Occasions (Spring) Catalog. So today I want to share with you a peek at some of my favorite upcoming new products from the All My Love Suite by showing you another card we made on December 8th at the Silver Elite Retreat.
I’m calling this my Tri-Panel Card. Three patterns in the beautiful new All My Love Designer Paper are exactly the same but printed with a different color layout. So I used these three patterns to in such a way* where the design flows/connects from one sheet to the next. You can see it really well in this first card.
Measurements
Crumb Cake Cardstock:
8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
Early Espresso Cardstock:
4-5/8″ x 3-1/2″
Scrap for punching a layer underneath the sentiment
Scrap for die-cutting the accents (optional)
Whisper White Cardstock:
4-5/8″ x 3-1/2″
Scrap for stamping and punching the sentiment piece
Scrap for die-cutting the accents (optional)
All My Love Designer Paper:
Three coordinating (and connected) patterns cut to 1-3/8″ x 3-1/4″ each*
*To get the best results preparing the designer paper, stack the 3 coordinating 12×12 patterns on top of each other so they are all lined up in the same direction. Then cut them at the same time to get three matching 4-1/8″ x 3-1/4″ pieces. Cut these all at once again to get 3 separate 1-3/8″ x 3-1/4″ pieces. Then separate all the color layers out but keep the pattern connected and in order. Now mix them up and match them to make connected sets but with sections of three different color layers in each set. As you can probably guess, it’s best to make three cards at a time so you can use up all the sets of patterned paper. (Now that your designer paper is ready, follow the rest of the directions below.)
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions
Adhere the 4-5/8″ x 3-1/2″ Whisper White piece to the inside of the card. Adhere the 4-5/8″ x 3-1/2″ Early Espresso piece to the front of the card.
Adhere the set of three designer paper pieces*. Start with the outside pieces first leaving about 1/8″ of Early Espresso showing around the outside from the matting layer. Then adhere the middle piece.
Stamp the sentiment onto the Whisper White scrap, then punch. Punch the Early Espresso scrap, then adhere to the underside of the sentiment to layer. Attach this layered piece to the front of the card (using Dimensionals) where it looks best.
Die-cut accent pieces with more scraps, adhere around the sentiment, and embellish with Rhinestones and/or Heart Epoxy Droplets.
Here are a few more card layouts. This one below is my favorite.
Which of the 4 was your favorite?
It’s a fun card to make. In fact I think this card be well received in a class setting as long as the designer paper pieces were all cut and matched up ahead of time. This photo of my mom and Cheryl Lee showing THEIR cards was taken at our Silver Elite Retreat.

On September 22nd I shared a tutorial video for my “DSP-Saver Card.” I hope you saw it. In that video I shared all sorts of projects that were in my presentation at the Creative Connections event on September 16th. There were a TON of projects and thus a TON of photos. I finally had time to edit, watermark and upload them all. Yay!
Click here to see the project photos and video that I posted on September 22nd.
Click here to see the Vertical Stretch fun fold cards that I shared on September 25th.
Then look below to see photos of (and read a couple tips on) the rest of the projects that were in my Creative Connections presentation.
A big thanks to fellow demonstrator, Marciene Ingram who gave me this pretty birthday card below which led to me designing all the other versions above!
The Frosted Floral designer paper is super pretty especially in person because it shimmers. So it just makes sense to make these elegant gift bags with them. Click here for a tutorial on how to make a bag like this.
Here are a couple more cards I put together using 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ squares of the Frosted Floral designer series paper (DSP).
I sponged on and stamped on Shimmer Paint on the Night of Navy cardstock. 🙂
This flower’s petals come from the leaves in the Iridescent Wreaths.
And here is the card that inspired me to make the two above. This one below as a make-n-take at my upline, Susan Campfield demonstrator event.
I didn’t make these next two “joy fold” cards below, but I’m happy I got them as swaps from Carol Lucas. They were fun to share during my Creative Connections presentation.
And these last two cards that I made just show how you can stray from the designer paper in the suite AND the colors from that designer paper in the suite to give the stamp images a whole new look. These products are so versatile!
Sorry I don’t have details for every card/project shown above. But sometimes I just have to flood you with lots of ideas! I hope you didn’t mind.
We celebrated my oldest turning 13 yesterday. (Can you believe it?! He was only 7 when I first started blogging.) My goal was to share my September 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit alternate ideas with you today, but I didn’t finish editing my video yet. I’m crossing my fingers that my projects and video will be up tomorrow though. Please come back to see what I created with the Frights & Delights kit.
