Christmas in July This past weekend my friend and upline Peggy Noe and I had a Christmas in July retreat at my house and this was one of the cards I made for that retreat, so I though you would all like to make it too. The retreat featured the Christmas Lights bundle as well as other products from the Lights Aglow Suite from the July-December Mini Catalog. If you like to send lots of holiday cards, you should get a head start now and make a few of these cards.  This is a fun fold card with lots of parts. I suggest before trying this you watch my Facebook Live below and get a feel for how to make it. Also, making a template with some old cardstock and DSP and write the measurements on the card for all the cuts will help you make it again next time.  First, gather your supplies. 1. Cherry Cobbler cardstock, multiple pieces          Back piece is 4 1/4 by 5 1/2"          Center/folded piece is 5 1/2 by 8" scored on the long side at 1 1/2, 2 3/4, 5 1/4 and 6 1/2"          Fr

Kindest Gnome Double Easel Card I am having so much fun playing with the Kindest Gnome bundle and the rest of the Storybook Gnomes Suite. In fact, I've decided to base my class next month (August 14th if you are in San Diego, or by mail) on this suite. The gnomes can be cut out of the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper, or stamped and colored, or made using just the dies--it's a 3 in one gnome party! And even better, many of the papers from the Rings of Love DSP from Sale-a-Bration go with this set perfectly. Better order soon as the Rings of Love is free with any $50 purchase but only while supplies last and they've already sold out of one of the Sale-a-Bration freebies (the Pool Party and Soft Seafoam cards and envelopes)! If you get lost making this card, please watch my Facebook Live below. I am live every Monday at 1 pm PST--see you next week. Let's get going making this fun card. First, gather your supplies. 1. Thick Basic White cardstock, cut 4 1/4 by 11"

  Rustic Harvest Easy Fun Fold When I saw the beautiful Rustic Harvest Suite I couldn't get over the beautiful Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper, and specifically this pice of paper that I could hardly wait to make a card out of. I love the papers that all you need to do is add a sentiment and you can be done, but of course I had to glam it up a bit, so here you go. First, gather your supplies. 1. Mossy Meadow cardstock cut 5 1/2 by 7 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" and folded along the score line. 2. Rustic Harvest DSP--the front panel cut 3 by 5 1/4" and the Crushed Curry piece 1 by 5 1/4" 3. Basic White cardstock cut 3 by 5 1/4" for the inside and a 1" scrap for the sentiment 4. Stamp Set--Hello Harvest (#159634, or #159644 for the bundle) 5. Dies-- Stylish Shapes (#159183) 6. Ribbon--Frayed Ribbon (#158138) 7. Leaf Label & Amber Gem Combo Pack (#159969) or Brush Brass Butterflies ((#158136,see below) 8. Ink--Mossy Meadow and Cajun Craze 9. Blends--Da
