Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend and that your day has started well!
Today I have a Joy Fold card using lots of new products! You can see how the card opens up in my picture below. I really love the watercolor effect so I think that’s why this stamp set appeals to me so much. It’s called Painted Petals and I’ve matched it up with the Painted Blooms DSP. The base of my card is Wild Wasabi and the insert uses my favorite In Color, Blackberry Bliss. To hold the card closed, I used one of our beautiful shiny Something Borrowed Embellishments. If you love bling, you’ll really like these!
The products I used to make my card are listed below. Click on a thumbnail and you’ll be taken directly to that page on my online store.

My husband and I needed to send a thank you card last week and this is what I made. I used the stamp set, Regarding Dahlias. I’ve had this stamp set for months but just never used it. I wish I had picked it up sooner!
Ready to know how I made my card? First, I stamped the image on the top left using Blackberry Bliss, one of our new In Colors. Then I stamped it again in the lower right hand corner. On a separate piece of Whisper White, I stamped the flower again 3 times.
With my paper snips, I completely cut out one of these flowers. I’ll be the first to admit that this can be tedious but it is worth it for the end product! Using the second stamped flower I cut out a medium sized flower shape. On the last stamped flower, I cut out a small sized flower shape. As there is no defined area, you just need to decide what petals you want to include when you cut it out. I used dimensionals to layer the flower pieces and then used snail adhesive to attach the entire flower to my card.
I definitely want to make this card using different colors. I’ve also been wondering how it would look to use two colors instead of just one!
Thank you for stopping by today!

I posted this card a few days ago and I’ve made a video to go with it. One of my goals this year is to not be so hard on myself. Sometimes I expect whatever I do to be perfect, especially putting something out on the internet!!!! I’ve wanted to do videos for a long time and I decided that I just need to jump in. I heard a great quote a few weeks ago and I’ve been mulling it over in my mind, “Perfection is the enemy of progress.” My videos will continue to get better over time but I have to just jump in and START! So, here is my video for this card!
