SHARI BALL of Illinois

I offered my demonstrator Team, North Star Stampers, a random chance to win a product gift certificate from me. If they sent me a fancy fold birthday card, their name would go into a random drawing. Shari Ball, my direct Team member from Illinois won the drawing and has a Gift Certificate to ENJOY!! CONGRATS, to SHARI, who has been a demonstrator since 2004!!

Shari's floral card is an interlocking gate fold. Thanks to all Team members that entered!! I sure enjoyed getting your cards!! Hurray for handmade cards!!

Here is a lovely floral Vanilla Notecard #144236 with NO coloring! It's fast and elegant with Gold Foil embossed with the new Basics 3D Embossing Folder #161598 for texture. 

The Abigail Rose Suite Collection #159052 is filled with realistic images and lots of easy to use neutrals on the designer papers.

This notecard has sooo many uses! I like to leave the inside blank. When I have the need to mail this card, I will quickly add the appropriate sentiment for the occasion. You can't go wrong with this sweet floral collection of products!

This card was a recent class favorite! This gorgeous paper is Pretty Prints 12 X 12" Designer Series Paper #159245 which coordinates with the Sun Prints Suite in the Annual Catalog on pages 90-91. The coordinating card stock I used is Soft Succulent.

Inside. The designer paper that creates the card front is cut 4 X 5-1/4". This fancy fold shows off both sides of the designer paper.

The sentiment, die cut, and embossing folder on the envelope flap, are from the coordinating Sun Prints Suite of products #158805! So pretty and so versatile!!

I had fun with color! I use quite a bit of black card stock, all year around. Black POPS all colors! These butterflies are cut with the Brilliant Wings Dies #155523. I applied Adhesive Sheets #152334 to the back of the black card stock before die cutting. This creates a "sticker," so application is quick and clean!! The backgrounds are Subtles 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper #159255. These paper packs are SO HANDY and great for envelopes flaps, too!!

This is a fancy fold. The base is 4-1/4 X 5-1/2". The center is simply a narrow card, cut 8-1/2 X 3", scored at 4-1/4" and mounted on the center of the base. Simple. Try it!

Here is a FUN idea using Regency Park Designer Series Paper #160559. This fold shows both sides of the designer paper.

Working with designer paper is easy. The color palette is predetermined for you.

TIPS: These rectangles are cut 2-1/2 X 1-7/8". Cut the four rectangles as "one," so they are the same size.  Cut one template the same size, and then cut off the corner at a 45 degree angle. This template determines the fold of the designer papers so they are all the same. The center opening can be varied to accommodate the focal point. The deeper the fold, the larger the center opening. This flower is created with the Petal Park Builder Punch #160576.
