Cards with Double-Sided Paper

Make the Most of Double-Sided Paper

By | Birthday Cards, One Sheet Wonder Cards, Techniques | No Comments

The thing about double-sided patterned paper is… How do you choose which side to use? Especially if you love both sides!!?! Oh the decisions. That’s why I thought I’d share some card ideas with you today that feature BOTH sides of a piece of double-sided paper! Now this won’t work with every piece of double-sided paper because you really need both sides to look good together and that isn’t always the case. However when both sides look good together, all you need to do is fold up a bit of the paper to showcase both patterns! One way to feature…

Perfect Day Versamark Card

5 VersaMark Techniques: This Ink Pad is MAGIC!

By | Cards, Getting Started, Techniques | 8 Comments

If I could only have one ink pad I would pick the VersaMark pad.

Whisper White card base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Peekaboo Peach: 4″ x 5-1/4″ Bermuda Bay: 3/4″ x 3-1/2″ Circle Size: 1-7/8″ This ink pad is like magic.

Summer Fun Fold Card

Summer Fun Fold Card

By | Cards, One Sheet Wonder Cards, Techniques | One Comment

Since I live in Wisconsin popsicles are definitely a summer thing. Although spring is officially here now the weather hasn’t really gotten the memo. I’m looking forward to sunny days! Today I have a fold fun card idea for you to try. Of course you can grab any supplies you have, but I chose to use the Cool Treats stamp set and the Tasty Treats Paper for this one. With just a few scores you can make a fun fold card like this… Watermelon Wonder card base: 4-1/4” x 11” scored at 1-1/2”, 3”, 5-1/2” and 8” Small Popsicle Panel: 1-1/4″ x 4″ Medium Polka Dot…

I love a greeting stamp like “You’re the sweetest” because it can be used for so many different occasions! Birthdays and thank yous are the first things that come to mind.
