  Beginning at 1PM (MST) June 1, 2021, be sure to grab those must-have items from the January-June Mini Catalog that are retiring! Many items are discounted up to 50% off. However, all items are available through June 30th or while supplies last!

  When the new catalog was first previewed, I fell in love with this suite of products! A little outside my usual style, but I just love how the colors and the artistic flair all come together. When I needed to make some In-Color swaps and send my monthly team handmade cards out, this is what I decided upon. It looks quite a bit more involved than it really is. To be honest, the most time consuming thing about this card is cutting the gold foil leaf from the Artistic Dies! Measurements: Polished Pink 8-1/2"x11" cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2" & scored along the 8-1/2" side at 4-1/4"; 4"x5-1/4" Expressions In Ink 12"x12" Specialty DSP: 2"x5" Gold Foil Sheets: 2"x3" Basic White 8-1/2"x11" cardstock: 4"x5-1/4"; 2-3/4" x 5"; 1/2"x3" (can use little extra from cutting the inside layers) Here's a step-by-step video I put together showing how to make this beautiful card: tams#...

This card layout was one that I put together for the May stamp club meeting; a simple layout that is so quick to put together and one that can be varied by simply changing out the Designer Series Papers, stamp set and die set or punch that you choose to use! The Fine Art Floral Designer Series Papers are absolutely stunning! With just a change of which design that you wish to use, the entire card can change. This print takes on a much softer feel, and if I paired it with Petal Pink instead of the Poppy Parade cardstock, it would be even softer. Maybe soft enough to use for a welcome, baby girl card! In keeping with the same layout, I put together a video where I show you how quick and simple this layout is; all using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper. This paper choice gives a more masculine feel.  As promised in my video, here are the card measurements: Basic White Thick cardstock : 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" & scored at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side Basic Whit...
