The card class theme for last month features the Friends of the Ocean bundle, and today’s project is a fun fold card. The card features the colorful Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper and the Ocean Friends Bundle. Using the designer series paper as inspiration, I knew the coordinating ink colors would be perfect for creating the stamped background for the die-cut crab. The cute crab is die-cut from the designer series paper! I love it when dies coordinate with images in designer paper. You will find details on recreating this card below.

Would you like to join the monthly fun? Each month, card classes are offered in-person, as well as, “class to go.” If you’re in the Lake Oconee area in Georgia, register and join me for class. And, the “class to go” option is perfect if you reside outside the area. The kit includes all the cardstock, designer series paper, die cuts, and embellishments needed to recreate four projects. Additionally, envelopes for card projects are sent with the kit. You will need the stamp set, inks and adhesives to complete the projects (or substitute with a set already owned). For information on the upcoming classes, click here.
Finally, it’s time to share two creative cards using the Mixed Media Florals Suite. Yes, I am weeks behind! Where does time go? So, let’s move on to today’s projects.
The Mixed Media Florals Suite includes two stamp bundles, the Mixed Florals and Mixed Labels Bundles. Each of the cards uses one of the stamp bundles. The first is a pocket card featuring the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper and the Mixed Labels Bundle. The second features the Mixed Florals Stamp Set, highlighting the coneflower.
Cut Dimensions for the pocket card:
Basic White Thick Cardstock: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ (card base); 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (cut on diagonal); 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ interior; scrap for front sentiment
Petal Pink Cardstock: 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″; 2 1/4″ x 3″ for sentiment layering panel
Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper: pattern one – 4″ x 5 1/4″; 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ (cut on diagonal); pattern 2 – 3″ x 8″, score/fold at 4″
TIME SAVING TIP: You will only need one of each diagonal, so cut additional pieces to make two cards at once.
Cut Dimensions for the coneflower card:
Basic White THICK Cardstock: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ (score at 4 1/4″ for card base); 3 1/2″ x 5″ (interior); 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″
Lemon Lolly Cardstock: 3 1/2″ x 5″
Balmy Blue Cardstock: 3 3/8″ x 4 7/8″ (2 pieces)
Hopefully, it’s been worth the wait (LOL)! And, you’re inspired to have fun making creative cards using the Mixed Media Florals Suite.

November is here and it’s not too early to start thinking of Christmas cards. Last month’s card class theme, All About Christmas, celebrated the upcoming season. One of the cards from the class is a beautiful fun fold card featuring the Sentimental Wishes Bundle. Not only does this card feature the bundle but it also highlights the gorgeous Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP). See the stocking and bow on the card front, it’s die cut from the DSP. I am giving you fair warning – you’ll be cutting lots of pieces for layering! But it’s the multiple layers that make this fun fold even more special. So, my suggestion is to cut multiples of the layering panels for several cards at once. If your time is limited, you’ll have everything prepped to assemble at your leisure.
You’ll find an assembly video and the cutting dimensions below the card’s photo.
