The designer paper here is from the Sale-a-bration exclusive collection, Botanical Butterfly. I colored one of the black and white sides with my Light Highland Heather and Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. I used a 2″ strip of my colored designer paper and added a greeting from “Amazing Life”. The scalloped strip has a stictched edge – it is from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits.
I kept this one simple too, with just a greeting from “Butterfly Gala”.
Have a great day!
The Be Mine Stitched Framelits are a great addition to our collections – especially if you love stitched edges. There are 16 dies in this collection, and many of them have stitched edges. The greeting here is cut with a framelit from another of our stitched collections, the Stitched Labels framelits.
The vellum paper used on the heart and the embellishments are from our Floral Romance Suite, and the greeting is from “Well Said”.

I used the stamps and framelits from the Wonderful Romance Bundle with a greeting from the Made to Bloom Kit here. Did you notice that the leaf framelits in this bundle also add texture to the leaves (the Mossy Meadow leaves in this sample)? I must confess that I didn’t realize this until I cut my first set of leaves. What a pleasant surprise!
I colored the main spray of flowers and leaves with my Stampin’ Blends, using both shades of Mossy Meadow, Soft Sea Foam and Rich Razzleberry.

I showed two different fun folds last night on Facebook Live – starting with this Quarter Fold that uses designer paper from the How Sweet It Is collection along with the Piece of Cake stamp set/punch bundle. The front flaps open and close like a box top.
There are two half sheets of cardstock that make up the card base. The Gorgeous Grape measures 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″. The Highland Heather measures 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 2 3/4″ x 8 1/4″. Remember to add an additional score line, just outside of each score line, so that each fold clears the opposite base piece and accommodates the thickness of the card.
The designer paper pieces are as follows:
Pool Party stripe 1 7/8″ x 2 5/8″
Highland Heather confetti 2″ x 2 1/2″
I completed this card with a minimum of decorations – a greeting and a cake – but the designer paper and the folds make it look more complicated.
You can get more complicated, and treat the front of the card like a sampler, decorating each panel as I have done below.
This card also uses designer paper from the How Sweet It Is collection. The stamp set is “Hey Love”, and I have also used the Be Mine Stitched Framelits.
Aren’t these little critters from “Hey Love” adorable?!

**************************************************************
My second fun fold was the pieced-together card shown below – I am not sure what to call it!
A 3/4″ strip of the card front is essentially cut away to reveal part of the greeting on the inside of the card.
The Powder Pink pieces measure 5 1/2″ x 6″, scored at 4 1/4″, and 5 1/2″ x 1 3/4″. The designer paper pieces from the Needlepoint Nook collection each measure 1 5/8″ x 5 3/8″.
There is more to the greeting on the inside – the Well Said bundle really offers a lot of possibilities for this card!
This would also make a fabulous “Get Well” card. You can see all of the greeting options in this bundle below. If you are interested in this bundle, make sure to check out my Class To Go offer for this month. It is free with the purchase of the Well Said Bundle and Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack.
My favorite part of this card is the oval piece. I cut the Powder Pink stitched oval after attaching the stems, so the stems have a stitched edge too. I know, it’s a little thing, but it made me happy 🙂 The little bird is awfully sweet, too!
Thanks so much for checking out my projects today – this post is meant to supplement last night’s Facebook Live. Click here if you would like to see the video from last night.

This picture represents so much that is wonderful about Sale-a-bration. Perhaps most obvious is the exclusive Sale-a-bration product – the Botanical Butterfly designer paper and the Organdy Ribbon. You can choose either of these product for free with a $50 product order.

In case you are here for the card, a little more detail…
The base is a gate fold with a seam that is covered by the extra length of designer paper you can see at left in the above picture. You may recognize it as one of my favorite fun folds – I have made it a lot recently! Click here for dimensions.
I also want to point out all of the stamps I have used from “Stamping Your Way To The Top” – a stamp set that is available to Demonstrators. I received this set at OnStage in November, and I am very happy to be putting it to good use!

The All My Love designer papers make another great background for the cakes from “Piece of Cake”. I made these two cards with the floral cakes and colors that coordinate.
I colored the cakes with my Stampin’ Blends – there are so many fun images to color in this set! There is also a punch that coordinates with this set to cut out the cake and pedestal.

I showed three cards on Facebook Live last night using the technique of partial die cutting. On this card, I started with a Whisper White stitched rectangle (the second largest), and I cut the left side with part of my Springtime Impressions Thinlit.
You can achieve a partial cut by covering only part of the die with your acrylic plate. This leaves partially cut openings where the die cut ends. You can use a straightedge and exacto knife along this border – cut along the straightedge to finish the edges of the partially cut openings.
I used a pattern from the All My Love designer paper collection along with stamps from “Forever Lovely” to finish this card.
Starting with a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Whisper White, the die cut for this card was partially cut from the top and then partially cut from the bottom in order to leave an intact strip through the center. The strip was then created by cutting with the straightedge and exacto knife.
The designer paper on this card is from the Needlepoint Nook collection, and the stamp is from “Incredible Like You”.
On this sample, I cut a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Lovely Lipstick with letters and a heart die from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. In this case, the acrylic plate was placed so that the bottom of each die was not cut. I then placed the straightedge to connect the bottom of the letters and heart, and I used the exacto to cut between them.
Please refer to my Facebook Live video for more details and a demonstration of this technique. If you are not a Facebook member, click here for the video.

This was one of the make-n-takes at our team meeting this weekend. The otter is my favorite animal in the “Hey Love” stamp set. He fits perfectly on one of the stitched rectangles from our new collection of 13 stitched rectangles. The stitched heart is new too.
The card front here is cut short to reveal the greeting along the bottom of the insert.
The Lovely Lipstick card base is 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 5 1/2″. The designer paper from the All My Love collection measures 2 3/4″ x 4″. The Whisper White insert measures 4″ x 5 1/4″.
The hearts here are the clear Heart Epoxy Droplets that come in three sizes. I simply colored them with my Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blend.

The card base measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. The Thick Whisper White is the folding layer. It measures 5 1/4″ x 7″, scored at 3″. The designer paper strip measures 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″.
