Today's post is the "conclusion" from yesterday's video with this sweet card using the Free As A Bird Bundle from Stampin' Up!
On this card, the focal point is the sentiment but notice how the die cut flowers gently frame it out. It's a simple addition that adds a special touch.
Let's take a look at the video for this cardmaking project.
Lisa's Inklings:
Pool Party card base is cut 4-1/4" x 11". You can get the same look with a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" base.

In today's cardmaking tip video, let's look at an easy way to add ribbon or trim to your handmade card or paper crafting projects. This tiny bit of embellishment makes a statement and adds a sweet touch. TThe lace seen above is the new Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim.
Here's the video with the super simple method of using trim or ribbon on your handmade cards.
This technique is a great way to use ribbon, lace, or trim while just using a smidgen of your embellishment.
Also, if you plan on mailing your cards, its the perfect way to add this bit of texture without adding too much bulk or weight to your cards.

Tune in tomorrow to see the completed card using this method of adding trim or ribbon and thank you for tuning in for today's cardmaking tip video tutorial.
Using the Stampin' Up! Memories and More Card Kits for cardmaking is so much fun! The kits come with 3" x 4" cards, 4" x 6" cards, adhesive die cuts, and this one, Magnolia Lane, with some vellum sheets. These sweet little kits make it easy to put together some beauttiful cards so don't think of these card kits as just for scrapbooking or memory keeping!
Let's take a look at the really "quick" video below and you'll see just how simple it can be!
Lisa's Inklings:
The greeting is a 3" x 4" card from the Magnolia Lane Memories and More Card Kit.
Back this piece with 3-1/4" x 4 1/4" piece of Petal Pink card stock.
The background layer is a 4" x 6" card from the Memories and More Card Kit, too!

Let's start the week off with a handmade card idea that you can complete in a hurry! It's all about being prepared and creating a few "blank" cards when you have the time! Blank = without a sentiment. We all have those times when we need a card in a jiffy and realistically, there is not time to start from scratch. Today's video tutorial features the card above and idea for you not to find yourself in a situation where you do not have the card you need.
You will also see all of our beautiful new Stampin' Up! In Colors for 2019-2020. I have to be a honest...at first glance, I wasn't that impressed with these colors. But, once I started working with them, I LOVE them. And, Stampin' Up! is right on trend. You can see these colors in fashion, home decor, and nail polish!
Let's take a look at the video tutorial for this handmade card.
Here's the card done in Purple Posy.
Lisa's Inklings:
Card base is Smoky Slate cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" or 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

It doesn't matter how many of these tri-fold cards that I make, it's new and fresh every time! This is a fun fold idea for a card using a beautiful panel of your favorite designer paper. Here is another version and a video.
The designer paper panel is held closed with a coordinating ribbon and here's the finished look of the inside.
To make it easy for you, here are the project details for cutting and scoring.
Tri-Fold Card
Cut designer paper 5-1/4" x 12". Score ar 4" and 8".
Slice off 1/8" on the right edge. This will be the side that folds in first.
Whisper White for Base: 5-1/2" x 4 1/4".
For inside of card: Whisper White 3-1/2" x 4 3/4", Lovely Lipstick 3-3/4" x 5".
You will also need enough Whisper White and Lovely Lipstick to punch the circles.
You'll need another piece of Whisper White to stamp and fussy cut the flower for the front.
