Pretty Poppies Fun Fold

Good morning once again! Fun folds are always fun to make and though they can sometimes be quite intricate, we have one to share today from Deb Felts that just could not be any more simple! Her card has one extra fold that adds a ton of extra interest. We like simple around here, and this is surely it!

Deb used one of the sets that is featured this week at 20% OFF as our Product of the Week - Pretty Poppies. It's on sale for this week only, so be sure to read the sale details further down.

This is the very striking card front.

You will note that the only extra fold on this card is the front that is scored right down the center to create a back fold, so to speak.

Pretty Poppies (floral, all sentiments)

Fishtail Sentiment Banners (to cut inside sentiment)

Ink Drops Vivid (designer paper pad used)

Seam Binding (bow)

Pearls - 30% OFF!

Here the card is opened up.

Love how that lovely sentiment is placed on the inner fold.

Thank you so much, Deb, for this very lovely and inspirational card!

Mini Slimline Poppies & Dahlias

Today Esther Asbury is with us sharing these gorgeous floral cards in a mini slimline style. It's fun to mix up the size and shape of your cards every once in a while, and this seems to be a favorite style of so many in a size a bit smaller than normal. So lovely!

So very striking! One can never go wrong with classic black and white and just that POP of color!

Thinking of You Pretty Poppies

Good Monday morning as we all try to get back on track after an explosive holiday weekend! We are starting the week off with a lovely vintage themed card from Karen Letchworth using one of the sets in our NEW Product of the Week - Pretty Poppies. It's a stunning set, favored by many of our Design Team, and has a companion set also featured this week - Delightful Dahlias - equally as lovely! They mix and match beautifully!

Karen has a fondness for vintage themes that she does so well.

Note the added machine stitching, layers and layers of paper, lace, cording and lots of colors, all beautifully coordinated. All adding to her vintage loveliness.

Happy Birthday, America! Patriotic Shaker Cards

 Happy Birthday, America, as you celebrate 250 years! May God Bless the USA!

Deb Saaranen is with us today sharing a fun shaker card she made for America's 250th celebration! Everyone loves the interaction with a shaker card, and it is just so very appropriate for this 4th of July. If you like shaker cards, this is a quick and easy make, relying on a large star die set to cut the shaker portion. Any star die, or any shape, will work!

And note that ALL sets in our Patriotic Series remain on sale at 20% OFF thru Sunday. Check out the details at the end of this post.

Loving the crimped blue background paper.

Remember when crimpers first came out - several decades ago - LOL!

Still so much fun to use!
