DIY Cardmaking | Festive Friends

There’s nothing not to love about the whimsical – and timeless – feel of the Festive Friends Bundle (stamps + coordinating dies). These pudgy images are cheerful and versatile making them perfect for cards, gift tags and packaging.

I think every Christmas card needs a bit of “holiday sparkle”. And this card definitely has it! In today’s video, I’ll show you how to make glittery snowflakes of any size, super easy. Plus, I’ll share some tips for dealing with glitter and glue messes and how to clean them up.

This pivoting, interactive fun fold card features panels that move towards the center to close and then expand into an accordion for display. Check out the video for tips on which panels will show from the front as you design your card.

The Festive Friends die set is a versatile collection, featuring two distinct Christmas tree designs, a coordinating tag die, and a range of other accessory dies. This makes it a go-to set for crafting year after year, easily blending with your existing stamp and die collections.

DIY Cardmaking | Peace on Earth

The Peace on Earth Bundle is super versatile! It’s got a bunch of greetings that are great for way more than just Christmas. You’ll find yourself using it all year long because the designs are so cute and work for so many occasions – it’s a must-have for any card maker!

There are two dove images and accessories in the dies that allow you to add pieces to your cards in various ways. Don’t forget the extra touch of adding a heat embossed greeting to dark cardstock. It not only adds a lot of texture but stands out beautifully among designer papers.

This card features the beautiful patterns of the Peaceful Garden designer series paper on the inside panels, offering a unique touch. The accordion pop-out section is also a great storage space for those smaller pieces of designer paper you’ve been saving!

Double-sided Designer Series Paper (DSP) is incredibly versatile. It’s a smart investment because you can use both sides – one themed and one generic for year-round use – and the color coordination is a huge bonus for your handmade projects.

Gathering Moments & Amber Autumn

If you’re looking to “step-up” your card, this fall card is sure to check that box! I created a belly band that holds the images which easily slides off to reveal the pop up feature of this fancy gate fold.

The Gathering Together DSP is one of my favorites. The rich fall colors are irresistible and work perfectly together for this layout!

Embellishments look super around the belly band, especially since you can see them from the front when the card is closed. A little coordinating Early Espresso Linen Thread in the mix makes for a really eye-catching look!

Check out the belly band – there’s another cool accessory! This irregular weave trim isn’t just for fall/autumn cards; it’s perfect for adding a nice touch to masculine and outdoor-themed cards and scrapbook pages too.
