Oh, I hope you like this card that I created with products from the How Sweet It Is Suite! After I put one together, I knew I had to make more. So I have 3 versions to show you.
I added a narrow 2-1/8″ x 11″ folded strip of Basic Black cardstock to a full 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ base layer. Hence the name: Strip Fold Card.
The designer paper colors are so bright and cheerful. And the images & sentiments in this suite of products make perfect birthday cards for anyone ages 4-104.
Here are measurements and directions for making one (my FAVORITE one).
MEASURMENTS
Basic Black Cardstock:
2-1/8″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
How Sweet It Is Designer Paper:
Two coordinating strips that are 1″ x 5-1/4″ (see trick below)
Candy jar image die-cut from jars pattern sheet
Whisper White Cardstock:
1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″
3/4″ x 3″
Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon:
about 9″
PRODUCTS I USED: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
DIRECTIONS
Cut and prepare all your pieces.
Stamp the sentiments onto the Whisper White pieces. Cut a notch from the right end of the small Happy Birthday one (as shown).
The designer paper strips go on the top and bottom of your 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Basic Black base. To get the two designer paper strips to look as if they are connected as one full sheet, cut your one inch strips from either a 6″ x 5-1/4″ piece or a 12″ x 5-1/4″ piece. (The 6″ piece will give you six 1″ strips…enough for 3 cards. The 12″ piece will give you twelve 1″ strips…enough for 6 cards.
Lay the strips out in order. Then pair up the 1st and 4th, the 2nd and 5th, the 3rd and 6th, the 7th and 10th, the 8th and 11th, and the 9th and 12th. When you pair up these pieces to add to your cards, the distance they had on the actual designer paper will be maintained so they give that appearance that you used a much larger layer of paper. Yay!
Attach the strips to the top and bottom of your horizontal 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Basic Black base.
Adhere the stamped 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White layer to the inside of the folded 2-1/8″ x 11″ Basic Black strip.
Adhere this across the middle of the base.
Tie the ribbon around the strip layer and tie a knot on the front. The trick for getting the ribbon to show both colors is to twist it before tightening it.
Finally attach the die-cut candy card with Dimensionals while at the same time attaching the banner sentiment piece with SNAIL (tucking the left end under the jar).

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.
Here are the other two cards I made prior with the Flirty Flamingo ink.
Aren’t these pretty?!

I recorded my first ever YouTube Live yesterday! I was a little thrown off at the beginning because I couldn’t see any comments coming through, but I decided to keep on creating (and just prayed that it was recording). Thankfully it worked. I have to figure out the glitch of why my viewers couldn’t comment while I was live. But I feel confident to try it again in the near future.
In that video (that I’m sharing here today), I created some alternate projects (fun treat boxes and mini note cards) using the contents of the Precious Parcel Card Kit, one of our 2019 Sale-a-Bration free picks with a $50 product order.
These are the cards that the kit instructs how to make.
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 supply list below, scroll through the close-up photos, 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 these projects.

The Classic Garage Suite is a fun one for making masculine cards and gifts. Here is a card we made at our Silver Elite Retreat. It features the Geared Up Garage Stamp Set, the Classic Garage Designer Paper, the Garage Gears Thinlits, the Classic Garage Metal Elements, the Black/Silver Striped Metallic Ribbon, and the Tailored Tag Punch.
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
I love that there are images in the designer paper that can be cut with the dies. So that’s what I did with this card. The gears all are die-cut from a sheet of the 6×6 paper. In fact, 3 sets of gears AND several smaller gear images can be cut out of this one sheet.
Measurements…
Real Red Cardstock:
11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base
Classic Garage Designer Paper:
About 1/3 of the “gears” paper
Basic Black Cardstock:
4″ x 5-1/4″
Scrap for punching Tailored Tag
Whisper White Cardstock:
Scrap for stamping and punchingTailored Tag sentiment piece
Silver Foil Sheet (I used Galvanized Metallic Paper from the 2018 Holiday Catalog, but this is now since retired.):
Scrap for punching Tailored Tag
Black/Silver Striped Metallic Ribbon:
11″
Directions…
Emboss Basic Black Cardstock with Subtles Embossing Folder.
Stamp sentiment. Stamp splotch using ink that has been stamped off a few times. Then punch with Tailored Tag Punch.
Punch this same shape from the Silver Foil scrap and the Basic Black scrap. Cut these each in half. Then layer them behind the sentiment piece using SNAIL Adhesive.
Add a bit more SNAIL to the back, then add the ribbon in a “folded back and forth” pattern. Add a few Dimensionals to the back to hold the ribbon in place. (Do not remove the backings yet.)
Die-cut the gears images. Sponge on Multipurpose Glue to the back sides of the gears, and attach to the Basic Black cardstock and to the inside of the Real Read card base.
Stamp a sentiment for the inside if you wish. I used a Happy Birthday image in another stamp set – Itty Bitty Greetings.
Attach the Basic Black onto the front of the card base using SNAIL.
Remove the backings from the Dimensionals on the Tailed Tag sentiment piece and add to the front of the card.
Then add the metallic wrench or key using a Glue Dot.
Here is another version I made.
And here are all four of our cards that we made at the Silver Elite Retreat. My mom’s card has a Pumpkin Pie card base. And Cheryl’s has a Crushed Curry card base. Too fun!
Now we are each “geared up” with a fun new birthday card!

Okay, I came up with MORE alternate project ideas using the December 2018 Day by Day Paper Pumpkin kit!!! Hahaha! And I decided the best way to show them to you was in a video. So I demonstrated them in a live broadcast yesterday on Facebook.
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 projects I presented that day, 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.

THE BOX
I didn’t demonstrate this one in the video, but hopefully these written measurements and directions will help.
Measurements for box…
Basic Black Cardstock
5-1/2” x 3-3/8″ (outer lid)
5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ (inner lid)
5-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ (inside box base)
Ribbon from kit
22″
Directions…
Open up box base. Put Tear & Tape Adhesive where shown.
The longest flap (the one that covered the bottom of the box) will become the cover. Mark using a pencil and ruler just beyond 4-1/2″ from the second score line. Then use Trimmer to score along that mark AND to trim off the tiny tabs.
Assemble box again without putting the longest flap back in.
Attach the Basic Black Cardstock pieces using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Then to reinforce the lid even more and keep it from bending at that third score line, add Tear & Tape to the back of the coordinating “calendar topper” cardboard piece from the kit.
Wrap the ribbon around the box lid, bring the ends through the holes of this cardboard piece, and tighten the ribbon as you center & secure the piece in place.
Tie a bow in the ribbon, and trim the ends.
Fold the cover at the score line you created and add velcro dots to hold it shut.
