Today I have a fun fold card that I made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and the Diagonal Plate. It looks difficult to make but it really isn’t. Just like the card I posted the other day, it’s the perfect size to slip a gift card into. It stays shut on its own but I’ve used a belly band so that a sentiment is easy to add to the front. But as you can see in the picture below, it can also be left plain. Another great thing about this card – it fits perfectly inside one of our medium envelopes!
I used the bright and vibrant Bohemian Designer Series Paper (DSP). The sentiment is from the stamp set Tin of Cards. I love the fonts in this set and that the words are nice and bold. The butterflies on the inside of the card are from Garden in Bloom. This is a 2 Step Stampin’ set which means that you stamp a base image and then position and stamp another one over it. I stamped the outline of each butterfly in Blackberry Bliss and the inside with Rich Razzleberry.

I had hoped to make my own video showing this fun technique but yesterday when I went to film, my camera battery died and I couldn’t find the charger. I had to place a quick order on Amazon and I should have a new charger any day now. There is a great tutorial over on Splitcoaststampers and you can view it HERE.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy your weekend!

For several years now I’ve wanted to offer an Online Stamp Club and I’m happy to say that I’m almost ready to launch it! You’ll be able to decide month to month whether to “join” but there will be perks for those who join consecutive months. I’ll be back next week on July 1st with all the details but for now, here’s a sneak peek of the projects for July!

Today’s project is a very quick and easy card made with the Envelope Punch Board. The pretty DSP is called English Garden and I used my favorite ribbon in the catalog – Delightful Dijon Dotted Lace Trim.
It actually isn’t necessary to use an envelope but if you want, it will fit snugly into one of our medium envelopes! When you add ribbon, it holds the card together which makes it very easy to slip a gift card inside.
If you already own an Envelope Punch Board, my directions will make sense to you. If you don’t own one but would like to see a video tutorial, please email me and I’d be happy to do it!
1. Cut your DSP to 6-7/8″ x 6-7/8″.
2. Line your paper up to the 3-1/2″ mark, punch and score.
3. Turn your paper to the next side but line up the start line with the score line you just made, punch and score.
4. Repeat step 3 with the two remaining sides.
Inside I used a piece of Crumb Cake that measures 4″ x 4″. The Whisper White piece measures 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″.

Hi Friends! Today I have a little treat bag made using the new Brights DSP pack. I love these Color Collection packs. There are (40) 12 x 12 sheets in 10 different colors. There’s a different color pack for each of the color families (Brights, Regals, Subltes, Neutrals, and the In Colors). The paper is double-sided with four different designs. If you’ve bought this paper in the past, you’ll be happy to know that the designs have changed up a bit. They kept the dots (yea!!) and added three other designs that I’m really happy with.
My project shows you two of the designs in Bermuda Bay and below are the other two in Real Red.
There was a quality issue with the Neutrals and Regals packs so they are currently not available but you can still purchase the Brights, In Colors and Subtles!
Back to my project! It’s a cute size for a little chocolate treat as well as the perfect size for jewelry! I used the new 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon. In the last catalog this ribbon was available in the In Colors but this year the colors available are Whisper White, Pacific Point (gorgeous!!), Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo and Basic Black.
I used the new stamp set You’re So Sweet which is available in clear or wood. It can also be purchased as part of a bundle with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies for a discount of 15%. I recently purchased something in the catalog and didn’t realize until later that it was part of a bundle! Darn it (actually those weren’t the words I used) so I want to be sure to point out the bundles to you!
