Inspiring hope and having a bit of faith, today’s card wraps those things up in a Double Gate Fold card. The beautiful colors and serene scenes that the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (163303) include are perfect for a card like this I think.
You can see the full card inside and out in my video tutorial today, so why not take a few minutes to check it out. While the sentiments this card uses is the something old, the beautiful scenes are the something new so you can still create this project using your favorite sentiment set if you done have the retired Unbounded Love stamp set.
Today I’ll be sharing a Spanner Card with you. It’s a fun fold that is pretty easy to create but has a big wow factor. And since I’m using the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (163303) which is a lovely landscape paper it’s perfect for this type of card since it shows off the paper so well.
Love this paper? I know I do with it’s soft watercolor look. Want to see how I created this card? Here is a video tutorial for you today.
And of course, you’ll need the measurements, my supply list, and step by step directions with the You tube Link so everything is in one place.
So what do you think? Are you enjoying the “old & new” that I’ve been sharing with you this week? Stop back by tomorrow for a fun Double Gate Fold Card I’ll be sharing with you!
It’s that time of year to look back at 2025 and say goodbye. When I was a teenager one of my favorite things was listening to the countdown on the radio of the years hits. Now I watch the year in review on the news – It reminds me of many things I’ve already forgotten as the year seems to fly by.
So this week I thought I’d share a look back with you, some “silver & gold” from my craft room – this childhood song is about making friends. I’ve always like the meaning of the friendship song of making new friends and keeping the old – “some are silver and the others gold”. How about you?
I’ve teamed this paper up with the retired Thoughtful Wishes Stamp set and Dies which are retired. You might already have this on your shelves, if not you can use another sentiment set that you love.
Here is my video tutorial and PDF for you – the PDF includes a complete supply list and measurements.
Enjoy a bit of crafting during this holiday week and don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing another tutorial with you that focuses on the new and old. Tomorrow’s card I’ll be sharing will be a fun fold card.
Snowflakes… a weather wonder with their different shapes and sizes as they fall from the sky. I can remember the joy the first snowfall created as a child and later the hope for a snow day with my children and a chance to build a snowman.
This card while shows off snowflakes is a wonderful card to send someone you love.
And the sentiments easily can be used through out the winter and for Valentine’s Day too making it a great choice for your crafting needs.
This card is also a fun fold that is easy to create. The base is your typical 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ that is scored in half. Then you simply cut slits on each side of the card front at the 1″ mark from the edge down to the center score line. Adhere those two flaps to the card base and decorate.
