Today I am showing three different card folds while still keeping the rectangle shape of the card. These folds are so much better because these will fit in standard envelopes than other folds that make things very complicated. Today I’m featuring the Gatefold Card, Dutch Door and Clear Window ideas. You can see all these cards come to like in a full video tutorial. Gatefold Cards I love Gatefold cards for their simplicity and elegance. There is just something special about creating a belly band to go around a card.…

Combined with the beautiful, thick friend die, these…
Today I‘m is showing off a 3 card set that uses white as a focal point. The September box provides such beautiful, solid backgrounds to stamp in various colours with. Catherine Pooler inks are my personal favourite for coverage with solid stamps and it was such a relief to have perfect stamping without needing to season the solid stamps beforehand. By using a stamping tool for the card set, it was easy to create these cards in just a few minutes. Adding a variety of sentiments makes it very easy to turn…
