Butterfly Bouquet Pocket Quilt Card!

February 12, 2021 By Karen 2 Comments

This fun little quilt card tucks into the card base – so lovely with the new Butterfly Bouquet Bundle available March 1.

It opens like this.

You can find the directions here: How to Make Easy Pocket Cards

Julie Heitz and I teamed to take the pocket card idea and make them “quilt pocket cards” – perfect for letting someone know how much you care in this world where we can’t be together. Quilt were made for wrapping up in – and this is like a hug in a card.

You can read more about that and see some easy quilt patterns for your pocket cards here: Pocket Quilt Cards

Make Quick & Easy Cards with this Double One Sheet Wonder Template!

February 11, 2021 By Karen 2 Comments

We will use this template with two different papers today – first with the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper.

Double One Sheet Wonder Cards – So Easy to Make!

This is a facebook live replay, so go to 11:25 to see these cards being made.

Start with two 6″ x 12″ coordinating pieces of Designer Series Paper.

Cut into three 4″ x 6″ pieces.

Next, make these extra cuts. Now, your paper is ready.

These are the finished cards using the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper.

The seashells are fussy cut from some of this same paper – or are from the Seaside Shells Accents.

These cards open like this – a gatefold card that doesn’t meet in the middle!

Notice how the next two cards are held closed by the shells on the right side. Such an easy fun fold card that packs a wow!

Cutting the 3″ x 4″ Designer Series Paper at an angle creates this look.

Look what a simple, but pretty look you get just from using the 3″ x 4″ pieces as the center of the card.

Using the same template with the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper gives you an entirely different look.

Look for the same layouts in these cards — and start thinking of what patterned paper you have on hand to create with!

The Weekly Challenge over the Back Porch Stampers is to share what you make with this Double One Sheet Wonder Template. Enjoy seeing what others post over there.

Project Pocket Quilt Cards!

February 9, 2021 By Karen 4 Comments

A week ago I showed how to make a variety of easy Pocket Cards and more than 200 different pocket cards made by our community were posted in the Back Porch Stampers!

How fun is that?

But its not over …. here is the next idea! PROJECT POCKET QUILT CARDS!

Julie Heitz, a team member and a fellow quilter reached out to me with this message:

My a-ha moment. I was excited to try Karen’s Pocket Cards when I first saw her demo them and I was inspired by the cards shared over on the Back Porch Stampers. So Friday night, I got to work. I had decided to make my pocket card with a quilt…surprise! Lol. The moment I stamped “sending healing hugs” my heart felt something. A quilt, a hug and I thought “this quilt could be the hug someone needs during these Times”. Then my mind started racing and I had to contact Karen with an idea that was put on my heart. “Would you be interested in collaborating with me on Project Pocket Quilt?” What if we could encourage our communities to send a Pocket Quilt to those we know who could use a hug? Karen said “yes!” and so here we are! We worked out the details, came up with a plan and now we need YOU! We may not be giving hugs in the way we are accustomed to but we can send a card because “a card is just a hug with a fold down the middle”. Now add a quilt and we can really bring some comfort!

You can listen to our conversation at the bottom of this post.

These are the supplies you need to make a pocket card:

For details and a video showing how to assemble this, click here!

Now… to turn this into a quilt pocket card, just add a 3″ x 4″ mini quilt!

Here are some ideas to get you started (all provided by Julie Heitz)

Strip Quilt Card

12 Patch Quilt Card

9 Patch Quilt Card

Want more ideas for both Pocket Quilt Cards and Quilt Cards in general?

Julie does live shows with a new quilt card every week – plus you can see all of her past cards and get the instructions as well.

Whether you are a quilter yourself, or a lover of quilts, or you know a quilter ….. you will love this!

How to Make Quick & Easy Pocket Cards for Any Occasion!

February 5, 2021 By Karen 6 Comments

This quick and easy pocket fun fold is perfect for cards for any occasion. Here are several ideas to get you started.

Isn’t the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper gorgeous?

Here are the supplies you will need. The video below will walk you through the process.

How to Make Quick & Easy Pocket Cards

For beach lovers everywhere – the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper is the perfect one to use. The Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle and these lovely Seaside Shells Accents finish this card.

For a masculine card, you can’t go wrong with the Well Suited Designer Series Paper and the coordinating Handsomely Suited Bundle.

The Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper has some fun sheets that are easy to fussy cut, like in this card.

Who wouldn’t want to get an ice cream card? The Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper also has plenty of images to fussy cut like this triple decker ice cream cone!

The Sweet Ice Cream Bundle includes plenty of sweet sentiments as well as more ice cream images, of course. The Scalloped Rectangle on this card comes from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. It includes 6 sizes so you can use it for many things – and you can easily layer it.

All that was used on this cute card is the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper! Add the Snailed It Bundle for even more options.

Sweet fruit cards are easy to make with the Berry Blessings stamp set and coordinating Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper.

This Flower & Field Designer Series Paper is one of the FREE Sale-a-bration choices for February 2021. The black backgrounds on this paper make it different from most floral papers.

Another free paper choice is this Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper.

Did you know …. each week I have a challenge over in my Facebook Group — and someone wins the drawing just for participating! This week, its to make a pocket card using this tutorial and there are fabulous cards already posted there!!!
