Reminder – Website Will Disappear

Posted on by

Hi folks! Just wanted to let you know that I will no longer host this website after April 2026. If you need to reference any of my posts in the future, please make sure to take screenshots or collect the info you may need before my website disappears!

I am also showing the cards from this video here…

I made this group of cards with the Firefly designer paper from Echo Park. These cards use some of my favorite layouts, and they also feature coneflowers from Taylored Expressions.

This is one of my favorite backgrounds of all time. Three pieces of designer paper are used to make three similar cards. The designer paper pieces start as 4″ x 5″ rectangles, and they are stacked together for random horizontal cuts. You must cut through all three patterns at the same time so that the resulting pieces match and can be alternated as shown. They are adhered to 4″ x 5 1/4″ mats cut from the same color as the card base.

This is another layout that I have made several times over the years. Just type “Patchwork” in the search bar to see many examples with dimensions.

And here’s a better look at the other fun folds I showed…

Thanks for looking!

Gift Card Sleeve

Posted on by

I showed this group of gift card holders on my Facebook Live today. In each of these, a gift card can be placed in a pocket created from half of a Medium Envelope.

I used the Christmas Friends bundle with A Little Bit Festive designer paper here. The tab is from the Keeping Tabs bundle. Dimensions are as follows:

  • Cardstock Base 5″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4″ and 8″
  • Designer Paper (front) 3 3/4″ x 4 3/4″
  • Designer Paper (inner pocket) 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
  • Cut sealed envelope in half at 2 7/8″

Please refer to the video for more detailed instructions.

These are simpler with the use of the pre-cut pieces from the A Little Bit Festive designer paper pack. The one on the left uses a 3 3/4″ x 5″ card on the front of the sleeve instead of a 3 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ piece of designer paper, so its base is increased by 1/4″ in that dimension (5 1/4″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4″ and 8″).

Last but not least, here is my Reindeer Fun version.

Today’s card is a remake of this one made in a Zoom Team Meeting last fall. I CASEd this fun fold from Karen Titus, and made it with the Bird’s Eye View stamp set and Countryside Inn designer paper. The pinwheel opens to reveal another message…

2024-2026 In Colors

Posted on by

I received my new Annual Catalog pre-order this weekend, and I was inspired to make these favors with our beautiful new In Colors! They are ready just in time for Easter, and I already shipped them out to my daughters to share with their coworkers, many of whom will be working this weekend.

From left to right, the base colors are Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Summer Splash, Shy Shamrock and Pretty in Pink. These colors will be available to customers on May 1. It is a Demonstrator perk to get them early (and at a discount).

If you have any questions about joining, please don’t hesitate to ask – especially at this time of year when you may have a big “Last Chance” list and/or if you are stocking up to beat the price increases. You can always get more for your money with the Starter Kit, and future purchases are discounted.

My favors are made from a 3 1/8″ x 11″ strip of cardstock, scored at 4 1/4″, 5 1/4″ and 9 1/2″. I used dies from the Excellent Eggs collection to cut the opening and for the cute stitched details on the flap. I used three punches to speed up production – the Easter Bunny, Banners and Bough punches.

There are a few more sneak peeks here too – the cute flowers are from the Country Flowers bundle that will be available in the new catalog. And did you notice the yummy In Color accessories – the stitched ribbon and gems? Love those details!

Maybe less exciting, but still important…the bunny is punched from another new color, Basic Beige. The greeting is from our most recent Paper Pumpkin kit.

My pouch is only 1″ wide for a flat cello bag of Dove chocolates. You can easily play with your pouch dimensions to suit your treat. I presented this on Facebook Live yesterday, you can view the video below. Please join my Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on Facebook to get notice of all of my live videos.
