A Cutest Crew for some Cute New Friends

I recently attended a De-Stash Garage sale in my community which was a smash hit, I must say! Lots of vendors and amazing finds. Watch for it at the Salvation Army Church May 2027....anyhow, at the event I did a few draws from among those who signed up for my newsletter with the prize being a card class with 3 of their friends. This is one of the 3 cards we're doing at these classes. Easy to duplicate with any shapes besides circles and your fave critter. For me, that's the feathered kind. Enjoy!

Scenic Coast Eclipse Card

The Eclipse card is taking the cardmaking world by storm - you see them everywhere you look for inspiration. The trick is using two of the exact same pieces of patterned paper, trimming one into half inch strips and adhering every other one using adhesive strips over the original pattern. Then add your embellishments, a focal point and greeting. On this one in particular, it's a gorgeous sunset scene using the Scenic Coast paper. How gorgeous! Give it a try.

Velvet Meadow Patterned Paper Says it All

Wow! Have you SEEN our new patterned paper collection? So many gorgeous patterns topping it off with Velvet Meadow: a mixture of bright/bold colours with sof/subtle accents. Here's a great way to use 1.25 inch scraps of various patterns in the pack. Since they all colour match so beautifully, pick 3 to matte and add your greeting and a focal point. What makes this one so striking is the white heat embossed butterflies on Berry Burst. Love it!

Double Collar Fun Fold showing off the Bloom Boutique patterned paper

I came across the Double Collar Card fold a few months ago and really love who this shows off both sides of coordinating patterned paper. Use it with any in your stash. I use a 2.5 inch wide strip down the middle (the centre floral pattern) then on either side, the reverse pattern measuring 1.75 inches wide each. They overlap a wee bit then fold back the top and bottom inside edges to make the collar look. Anything that doesn't line up perfectly will be hidden by the focal point in the centre. This was my team swap card for May as I really wanted to incorporate the new All Aflutter Bundle and Bloom Boutique patterned paper. Enjoy!
