A Legendary Ride Double Fold Card! Video!

 

 

How about a double fold card using the Ready to Ride suite/ Legendary Ride bundle?

I saw a card on a demo Facebook Page that was a double fold that was so pretty. She used Rays of Light and the Mountain Air stamps and dies. I decided I wanted to make one but wanted to make it a little different.

This is what it looks like when opened:

I was selling cards at a Vendor Fair last week and a few people asked me if I had more man cards. I did not. So, on my list of things to do was to make men cards!

I was looking through my stuff deciding what to use. I saw the motorcycle and I was like- “that would be a really cool card!”

The size of this card is 5-1/2″ x 11″. Scored at 4″ and 8-1/4″.

Here’s my full video:

 

 

I have a short one on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok!

 

Here’s everything I used!

Look at this Seaside Bay Card! LOTS of Stuff Inside the Card!

 

If you watched my last video, on the pop & twist (fold) cards, this is one of the ones I made!

Here’s the inside:

 

I love that these cards can have lots of embellishments, stamped images, etc!

Here’s my video on how to make these:

You can find the PDF of instructions on the left hand of my site (from a computer) or at the very bottom (on a phone).

Pop & Twist Cards! Two Sizes!

I saw the Pop & Twist (or Pop & Fold) technique years ago, and saw it again recently. I love it!

After making a vertical card, I decided I wanted to make a horizontal one. I had to figure out the dimensions and thought I’d make a video of how to do it!

I show how to do both in this video.

This card shown is just one of the four I show in the video. I’ll share the others soon!

I also did a short video:

I first stamped the Rays of Light on Basic White with So Saffron ink. I stamped the tree branch (from the Perched In a Tree stamp set and Aspen Tree Dies) with Early Espresso. I used one of my water painters to bleed the ink a little.

The leaves is one of the dies from Aspen Tree dies. I used the In Color Glimmer paper.

For the inside, I used the kite die from the Playing in the Rain dies. The letters are from the A la Mode dies.

To see my PDFs of instructions (it’s two pages- one for vertical, one for horizontal), here you go (click on it to see both pages). They will also be under my instructions:

Using Dies for Stencils AND the Negative Piece for the Background! Video!

My youngest son’s girlfriend has a birthday this month. She loves butterflies so I decided to dig out the Butterfly Wings dies to make her a card!

You might have seen my video from March of 2021 and how I did some of this. Here’s a link to the post and you can see my original video there:

Beautiful Butterflies!

Here’s my recent video with the same idea, but another trick!

Golden Cherries! Two Cards and a Video!

When I saw the Share a Milkshake stamp set in the mini, I loved it, but I especially loved the sentiment “You’re the Cherry on Top”. I’ve had the Sweetest Cherries bundle for a while and I always thought it should have the sentiment!

I wanted the cherries to have some shine or sparkle, so I looked through all my stuff and the Gilded Leafing won!

Since the cherries are shiny gold, I decided to put the Distressed Gold paper behind my Split Card Textures die cut.

Here’s another card I made during the video. Just some color change and I added leaves from the punch with Distressed Gold.

Here’s the quick video of me making the pink card:

Love You from a Gnome! Using Dies as Stencils! Video!

 

This card is simple and uses an old school technique. Use a die as a stencil!

I saw a card months ago and it reminding me of that technique. I wanted to try it again! The first card I did was the Sweet Christmas card you can see here:

Sweet Christmas

I then started doing it on tons of cards. I love the technique and it’s so easy! Here’s my video (you’ll see lots of cards in this, including ones I’ve never shown):

 

For this card, I used Sweet Sorbet and Calypso Coral with Blending Brushes for the hearts. I also covered the small hearts with the Wink of Stella.

The sentiment is from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set.

For the Gnome, I colored him with Calypso, Sorbet, Balmy Blue and Medium Light Blends.

I scored a few lines around the edges with the Scored Tool.

I Made More Changes to my Room!

My room still looks like this from the entrance:

Here’s the link to my original post about my room. Most things I still have: My Stamp Room

First, here’s the video of the changes (and you’ll get to see my puppy!):

 

And here’s the original video:

 

But, I made some big changes. Here we go! (I am including original pictures and links)

My desk where I make videos. I used to have it covered with a table cloth, but that was kinda annoying. So I found some things to make the desk more usable. The first picture is how it used to look, the next two is how it looks now:

 

Ok, here’s what’s on this table:

Desk Hutch

Phone Holder for Videos

Wood Look Mouse Pad

White Mouse Pad

Here’s the biggest change- my Ikea Kallax. After using it for a few weeks, I decided I really wanted a bigger one. Ikea is great with returns-if it is assembled, you have 180 days to return. You just bring in the big heavy thing and they give you your money back! I got the new one and added doors to the bottom.

I added TONS of stuff from Stamp-N-Storage. I love their products, it has made my room so much more organized.

First picture is how it used to look.

Now……

Here’s the new size I use and the doors:

Another Card that Holds a Gift Card!

This was my original card using the 2 fold process. You saw it in my video.

This card is so simple but I love it so much. The bow on the candy canes is from the Mini Pocket dies.

How about a card that holds a gift card? And is really pretty?

I made this card during this video, and it may be one of my all-time favorites. You’ll see the original card during the video. I made that one a few weeks ago. I planned to do the video next week, but the most important thing about this card is the die that holds the gift card. That sucker is on sale until tomorrow for 20% off!

I’ll share the other cards I showed during the video in the days ahead.

Here’s the instructions for the measurements of this card (you can also find it and others under “instructions” on the right (from a computer) or the bottom (from a phone):
