Let’s create a carrousel card

February 20, 2023February 20, 2023 vargasmj21

Carrousel cards are fun and easy to make. It offers countless possibilities to play with our designer series paper and stamps. Let’s learn how to make it.

I made several of these beauties, but the one on the video tutorial uses the Texture Chic Paper and the Texture Chic Memories Pack (which you can get for free this month if you use my host code) You can find both of them in the Annual catalog. I know we always get super excited with the Mini Catalogs, but the Annual catalog has wonderful stamps set and ideas.

Hidden Pop-Up Flap Fold

December 10, 2022December 10, 2022 vargasmj21

I am back! I went to visit my family for about 15 days… and I have to be honest, I was so busy, between work, getting ready for Thanksgiving and getting ready for the trip. I was not able to keep up with the blog, although I did have my regular lives on Tuesdays… but I was not able to even write the measurements.

Here is the card I made right before leaving… using the Gnomes dies and some stamps form the Regal reindeer stamp set.

A different way to make waterfall cards

November 9, 2022November 9, 2022 vargasmj21

Isn’t it wonderful when you find an easier way to make a card? This version of the waterfall card, really worked for me. I feel that the card is much steadier and there will be no issues with it, long term.

I used one of my absolute favorite Suites from the Mini Catalog: the Santa Express Suite. I have made several cards with this suite, some of them are very simple, all you need is to add pieces from the Memory Card Pack. I totally recommend it.

October 12, 2022October 12, 2022 vargasmj21

If you like fun folds you are in for a treat. This fun fold pop up card, is not only gorgeous but simple to make. Pinterest is definitely the place for inspiration, even if I keep seeing pins from France, Germany, and other countries. Don’t ge me wrong, it looks like all these wonderful crafters write pretty detailed instructions, I just can’t understand them, 🤣 But, the inspiration is what matters!

I am aware that I am a Christmas junkie… I just can’t help it. This means one of the cards created in the live was a Christmas card. And yes… I am using the Santa Express Suite, which I simply adore. If you don’t have it… you need it. And while you are at it… spend $50 before shipping and tax and you will get a free gift from me. This month’s free gift is the Memory pack that belongs to the suite. Check my rewards system here
