The Power of a Card

How do I Change the Color of my Linen Thread?
Linen thread is a great staple in my craft room, but sometimes, I just want it to be a different color. I show three ways you can easily color your thread - first with Stampin' Blends, then with Stampin' Write Markers and finally with your ink pad. All three methods work great, so you can use whatever tools you have to color your thread.
Linen thread is great for wrapping around your card (with a bow or just a knot), adding a little bow to a label, or tying around a ribbon on a tag. I also show a few cards made with colored linen thread so you can see it in action!

Variations of a Flip Flap Fun Fold
Переглядів 867 годин тому
When I say it's easier to make this fun fold than to say the name of it, believe me! I love when demonstrators share ideas that spark my creativity! Thanks to a Facebook post from Karen Titus, I learned about this fun fold and came up with a bunch of variations to show you some "out of the box" (or should I say, rectangle?) thinking. This is not only a great way to show off our brilliant Design...

In my regular video released earlier this week, I showed a sample card that was made with this fun fold design. I don't know if this one has a name, but it's easy to do and I'll show you! At the beginning, I show the card from the other video, another one for Christmas and then make this one featuring the County Woods DSP and the Fluffiest Friends bundle. You will need: * Card base measuring 4-...

A friend of mine saw a cards made with some lovely paper, but since it was a fun fold, she was having trouble figuring out the dimensions and asked for help. I came up with dimensions and made a card to make sure they were OK. Since it turned out so nice, I decided to show it to you too! I am using the Season of Elegance DSP along with Peaceful Evergreens and Peaceful Season stamp sets to make ...
A Dozen Christmas Cards Using 1/2" Strips
Переглядів 230Місяць тому
Yes indeed! I have a dozen layouts using 1/2" strips of Designer Series Paper and all of them are Christmas cards. Of course, these layouts are perfect for any season, but I know many of you make a lot of cards to send over the holidays and these layouts really help you get the most out of your paper packs! Not only do you get a lot of cards from very little paper, they are easy, allow you to f...
How Do I Make a Textured Background with Rubber Bands?
Переглядів 90Місяць тому
I love when I can use non-crafty objects in my craft room to make cards! Here, I show you how to use rubber bands on a block to make a textured background that is unique and very organic. I use rubber bands of varying thicknesses and wrap them around a block. Then I press the block into the ink pad and "stamp" it on my paper. The result is very cool! You can leave it as is, clean your block and...
Two Tone Cardstock and the New Scrapbooking Line
Переглядів 125Місяць тому
You may not have noticed, but Stampin' Up! has recently introduced a line of products aimed at scrapbooking. When Close to My Heart closed, many of their makers joined our demonstrator family (so glad to have them!) and the two companies came up with a plan to carry over some of the CTMH products. Part of this line is two tone cardstock. This is 12" x 12" paper that is printed so one side has t...
How Do I Make Faux Tiles?
Переглядів 106Місяць тому
For this technique, all you really need is the ability to score cardstock. I used my Paper Trimmer, but you could also use a score board. By creating a regular pattern of scored lines, you can stamp your image on the debossed side and the result looks like tiles! It is better to use stamps that are full images rather than outline shapes so when you stamp, the full image will be broken up with u...

A few months ago, I showed a card sample in a video that was a fun fold. I subscriber recently asked me the name of the fun fold. I learned it from Deno Rekow, my upline, but I have no idea what it's called. I told my subscriber that I would show how to make it - so here it is! My previous sample used a paper from one of 6" x 6" packs of paper with scenes. However today, I am using 12" papers t...
All About the More Than Autumn Bundle!

I love the fall and when I first saw this bundle, it was on the top of my wish list with the new mini catalog! There are so many stamps and dies - 36 and 23, respectively. I have my chart to show you the 24 stamps without dies, 12 stamps with coordinating dies and the 10 standalone dies. We'll be making a fun card that uses two techniques - paper piecing and masking with Blending Brushes to mak...
How Do I Make "Watery" Leaves or Botanicals?
Переглядів 872 місяці тому
I've always loved watercolor techniques and now that the leaves are turning into lovely fall colors, I thought I'd share this easy technique, which is perfect for fall leaves. The most important thing is to use watercolor paper - this will not work on normal cardstock. Simply stamp your image and then spritz until you get the watery look you want! I prefer line images rather than solid stamps b...
Sweetest Star Wreath and More!
Переглядів 5212 місяці тому
When the new catalog came out and I saw the Sweetest Star Bundle, I knew it would be on my first order. It reminds me of a set from Stampin' Up! long ago called Star Santa. I especially loved how they punched out stars, made them dimensional by scoring and folding, and then turned them into a cute wreath! What they didn't tell us is how to make it! So I pondered this dilemma while on my recent ...
How Do I Make Measuring and Cutting Easier with my Paper Trimmer?
Переглядів 1012 місяці тому
Here's a super quick tip to help you when using the paper trimmer. Since the trimmer has both metric and English measurements, use washi tape to cover up the measurements you don't use. A half inch wide tape will cover up the unwanted measurements completely and help you eye see the ones you do need! The washi tape is thin so it won't get in the way of your cutting. If you found this video inte...

OK, Christmas is months away, but I couldn't resist! The Sweetest Star bundle is just so adorable! I have a festive layout that uses the Take a Bow 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper as the backdrop for my santa (and gingerbread man!). Both of these are from the new Mini Catalog (September - December). In case you're interested, the DSP squares are 1-1/2" and the Basic White behind them is 3-3/8" sq...

Great idea
Thanks for watching! I am so glad you liked it Penny!
I love them all but my favorite is the citrus one. Such a fun card.
@@abettersweater7181 I’m so glad that idea came to me at 5:30 in the morning! I think it is a great addition to the other variations! Thanks for watching and I hope you’ll give it a try. 💙
Wow!❣️
@@franceeldridge1960 Thabks! Isn’t this one a great layout? Have fun with it!
Thank you so much for the tutorial for this fun fold. I think I am really going to enjoy making it.
I’m glad to hear that! It always makes me happy when I hear from my subscribers that I’ve inspired them. Have fun making this fun fold. 🥰
Very nice use of the dies!
@@TheresaSheerin I appreciate that Theresa! They are such beautiful dies and I’m happy to be able to show how to use them.
Awesome cards
So glad you liked them Rhonda! This is such an easy fun fold to make and really allows you the chance to show off pretty papers!
Wow! Thank you for sharing.
@@franceeldridge1960 Gee thanks! I really appreciate that and am so happy you enjoyed it!
Yes, definitely make a video showing how to make that second card. It is stunning!
You got it! I am so glad you loved that card and I will try to get a video done this weekend! I had a feeling my subscribers would want it!
@@merrittpraterlane4653 filmed it today and should be posted by tomorrow!
Love this card. The green DSP is beautiful
I van see this card done so many ways! Glad you liked it Penny!
Beautiful!!!
Thanks so much Pam! Wait till you see the cards in person tomorrow night!
Oh my! Not only have you done a great job of showcasing this suite, your samples are fabulous! You make it hard to resist. As always, and I truly don't want to sound like a broken record, but....I so enjoy your video's and all the creative ideas you create and share. Thank you! Cheers, Dotty 😊
Dotty, you can be a broken record any day! I always look forward to hearing from you and I hope you do get this suite. I have plenty of heart dies still like this set. The paper is so amazing and the hearts are a nice selection of plain layering ones with a few fancy ones too. Have fun when you get it!
Lovely bunch of cards and great ideas! Thank you
Thank you Cheri! I just keep wanting to use that paper! It was fun to make the cards for this video, but then again, it usually is!
My goodness! Your cards and bags are wonderful! Such a great collection here, especially love the one for Christmas. You are very creative. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Susan! I’m glad you liked my cards and gift bags, especially the Christmas one! I appreciate you watching and letting me know how much you enjoyed it. 🩷
Can you explain how you are able to lengthen and shorten with the dies?
Here’s a short video Sara where I show how. ua-cam.com/video/lZNtXia92zo/v-deo.htmlsi=jyBtwYSXYgXnEFX0
Just in case the link didn’t post properly, it’s in my How Do I? shorts video series from about three months ago. I have them all in a playlist.
Love all of your cards.❤
I really appreciate that Peggy! So glad you watched and commented!
Very nice!
Thank you! I had lots of fun with this technique! Glad you watched!
At first the front looked like a bookfold card layout, which would also be gorgeous the way you designed the butterfly & sentiments
I do love book fold layouts too! I am so excited you’re liking my videos and the cards! It really warms my heart. I’m slowly growing my followers and subscribers like you make all the effort worth while. ❤️
I'm so glad to find your new channel today & subbed!! I'm also glad to see the measurements posted further in your description.
@@donnas2375 I’m glad you found me too! Thanks so much for letting me know! I do try to include measurements, either with a photo or in the description, so I’m happy you find this useful.
Oh yes, new subscriber here for sure!!
@@donnas2375 Welcome Donna! I am so glad you found me and subscribed! I hope you enjoy some of my other videos too!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing the dimensions - very helpful! Also, lovely music to listen to while watching. Cheers, Dotty 😊
Thanks Dotty! I had some Christmas music picked out but when it played, it was too loud. I’m learning that adding music to videos is an art all in itself!
Beautiful cards thanks for sharing ❤
I am so glad you liked them! Thank you for watching and commenting!
So many great ideas! Thank you for sharing them!
You’re very welcome! I hope they inspire you. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Congrats on your subscriber milestone! Well done & deserved 👏👏👏 I absolutely ❤ the card you created - both colourways are gorgeous. Green is my favourite colour so I gravitate towards the one you created in the video, but the cherry cobbler version is equally lovely. I also ❤ the strips of green dsp on the Merry Christmas card - great design. The rest of your cards are all terrific and I like the variety of ideas you share! As you said, so many possibilities besides Christmas so Thank You for sharing! Cheers, Dotty 😊
Thank you Dotty! I really appreciate the kind words. Your consistent support and comments really mean so much to me, so a big THANK YOU goes to you. 🧡
Also loved what you did with the Santa! Brilliant!
Wasn’t sure that was going to work but I’m sure glad it did!
Fantastic video! Every single card is gorgeous!
Thanks so much Cheri! I had lots of fun making them and it makes me happy to hear you liked them too. 🥰
Beautiful cards. I would be so excited to receive any of those cards. I would want to keep them not send them. Nice job
Thank you so very much Penny! I will be sending these out to people and I hope they like them as much as I do!
Thanks Karen for these wonderful card layouts. Beautiful cards
@@margaretberry5124 I am thrilled you like them Margaret! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! May they inspire you in your card making endeavors.
While I've never tried using a block, I've used my acrylic brayer in the same way - gives fun results! Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Dotty 😊
@@dc8202 Now you’ve taught me something to try! Thank you Dotty!
@@thepowerofacard2227 It is a lot of fun. Try it with versamark ink & heat embossing, clear powder then ink blend over it. Also try glossy paper (not with heat embossing though). 😊
@@dc8202 I will do that! Are you a follower of my Facebook group? I post a lot of pictures of cards and I can show my attempt!
So cute!
Thank you!! The set is so adorable, it’s easy to make cute cards! Thanks for watching Pam!
Love this technique!!!
Thanks Pam! It’s so simple too and every time it looks different!
What a fun look
@@pennymiller9989 Thank you Penny! If you give it a try, I know you’ll love it!
I love the pool party card better but I also like the pumpkin pie one. I like the sanding it does look like it’s embossed with white powder. I can’t wait to get some of that toned paper from you.
Thanks! I think it is a toss up between pool party and pumpkin pie too! You are going to enjoy the two tones paper too!
Hello Karen! 1st time watching; I'm a hobby demo from The Netherlands and LOVE this Bundle. Your swipe - stripe with a blending brush is inventive and creative! Your cards are lovely, they need CASEing! Thank you lots for your careful explanation on how you made the SPICE card and for showing the gorgeous other ones! For those delicate dies, like the word dies, I prefer to use the Adhesive Sheets. Glue + me make a mess, I'm too heavy handed for intricate dies ...
Thank you so very much! I always love learning new techniques and am happy to share with others. I am thrilled you want to CASE my cards - that’s a big compliment. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and I’m so glad you found my channel. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy some of my others too!
@@thepowerofacard2227 Of course I subscribed to your channel!
@@inekegeernaert801 Thankful indeed!
Really like those 2 toned papers! Such a great effect by sanding on your raised embossing - LOVE it!! Always enjoy watching and appreciate the additional card ideas, thanks for sharing them. I hope you're doing well. Cheers, Dotty 😊
Thanks Dotty! I am so glad you enjoyed the techniques, and I appreciate the kind words. I can’t wait to have this paper in all the colors.
Thanks for the great tips and uses for the two-tone cardstock! All your cards were adorable!!
@@jenniferwalsh1933 I’m so glad you like them Jennifer!!! I really appreciate your kind words. It always makes me happy when people like my cards and tips!
What an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to try it.😊

I like the pumpkin pie card better. Love this bundle
Pumpkin Pie is definitely the winner so far! Thanks for watching Penny! 🥰
Love your cards. Appreciate how you explain all the pieces of the stamp sets and dies. It is very helpful.
@@joannfawley9271 Thank you so much Joann! I’m glad you find it helpful. I’ve learned that it helps me a lot too - otherwise I often miss the purpose of a stamp or die and then I don’t use it! I really appreciate you commenting!
Adorable!
Thank you so much!! Thanks for watching!
Oh my gosh! I absolutely ❤ love ❤ all your card samples! Terrific ideas! While I like both versions of the card you created in the video, my favourite is the pumpkin / orange coloured one. I also appreciate how you have a sample board of stamp images & die cuts, I find it very helpful, so thank you for sharing it. As always, I enjoy watching. Cheers, Dotty 😊
You always make my day Dotty! I am glad the sample board is helpful. I had to laugh though - the one for the dollop of whipped cream for the pie looked so weird! It almost fit one of the words and I laughed at myself when I realized it’s real purpose! Pumpkin Pie is definitely the front runner (as I think it should be). Have a great day! You’re the best.
The orange is beautiful!!
@@lisapatten1053 I have a feeling orange will be the winner!
I love this card! Great ideas!

@@dc8202 I think you’ll have lots of fun with this one! I really do love anything watercolor and I’m so happy it appeals to you! Thanks so much Dotty for the steadfast support and comments. 🥰
I love the card we used this technique on at card class
@@pennymiller9989 Thank you Penny! I loved that card too and it is just perfect for those gorgeous maple leaves!
That's such a versatile technique, thank you! I also love the way you stacked the layers on the last card, and the strip inside is such a beautiful addition.
Thank you Bridget! It is an oldie, but certainly a goodie technique! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy other videos on my channel too. 🩵
Absolutely adorable cards and those wreaths are gorgeous! What a great way to use & combine different dsp's! Really enjoy watching and your creativity. Thank you! ❤ Dotty😊
