This is a new endeavor for my team and this is our first Blog Hop! We will have more team members participating in the future. This will give you more of a flavor of the styles of cardmaking on my amazing team. This card is a called a Bridge Card and is three dimensional in its presentation. I just love this card and suite. The front view shows both the 3D nature of this card, and includes die cuts on both the outside front as well as the inside of the card.
I stamped and die cut the
larger flower, stem and leaves for the outside of the card
the smaller flower, stem and leaves also for the outside of the card
and the cluster of flowers for the inside of the card
So you ask, where do I write my sentiment? I added a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to the back of the card so that there is plenty of room to write. You could definitely add another sentiment here.
How well does this card fit in a regular envelope? Perfectly.
Here. I am showing how the card folds. Magically, when it folds it is the size of a standard A2 card fits perfectly into a regular envelope. Here is one last look from the front of the card. Followed by the Video making the card.
I am so lucky to have such talented people on my team, and to know other Demostrators equally talented. I get enough swap cards to post one of these videos about every other month.
There is such diversity here, I am sure you can get ideas and inspiration from these cards.

I love black and white with a pop of color! This one could easily be birthday or thank you or just about anything you wanted. This paper, True Love DSP, has so many beautiful patterns. Choices are endless.
Measurements for today’s Forever and Always Card:
The Card Base is Real Red and is cut 8 ½” by 5 ½”, and is scored at 4 ¼”, also needed is a piece cut 2 ½” by 4 ½” for matting, plus a piece of scrap big enough to cut out the words
I used 3 pieces of Whisper White -1 piece cut 4” by 5 ¼” for the front and one cut 3 ½” by 4 ¾” for the inside also one cut 2 ¼” by 4 ¼” for backing the DSP
Basic Black scraps were used for the sentiment backing and label
2 pieces of the True Love DSP black and White polka Dot enough to cut 1 piece 2” by 4” and one piece 4” by 5 ¼” for the inside of the card.
I love this Valentine Card! The graphic designs in the True Love DSP are great. I am not one much for coloring, and so tend to favor the backside of this paper. The heart Die is absolutely beautiful, and big, it makes quite a statement.
Measurements for today’s Love You Always Valentine Card:
The Card Base is Rococo Rose and is cut 8 ½” by 5 ½” Scored at 4 ¼”. There are 2 pieces of Basic Black,1 piece 4 1/8” by 5 3/8” and one cut 4” by 5 ¼”. Then there are 2 pieces of Whisper White 1 piece cut 4” by 5 ¼” and one cut 3 ¾” by 5”. I used Rococo Rose DSP to cut the Heart Die 4” by 4 ¼” . Then a piece of the True Love DSP black and White Polka Dot paper enough to cut 2 ovals 2, ½” by 4” strips and the inside Heart from the die.
I love this Stamp set. Since I had vellum on my desk, this is the next card I came up with. This card would be quite bright if the vellum sat on a white background a bit like the inside of the card. Over Stampin any dark color flower would work. It would be interesting with Gorgeous Grape for instance. I suppose one could also use multiple colors for the flowers. That could be quite interesting.
Measurements for today’s Corner Bouquet Note Card:
The Card Base is Whisper White and is cut 8 ½” by 5 ½” Scored and folded at 4 ¼”. The first Layering pieces (2) for the front and inside of the Card Are Old Olive and are cut 4” by 5 ¼” The Second Layer is Pretty Peacock, 2 pieces are cut 3 ¾” by 5” Then there are two additional pieces 1 piece of velum 3 ½” by 4 ¾” and 1 piece of Whisper White 3 ½ by 4 ¾”

I have ordered mine already. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is that you often have an opportunity to order things ahead of time. They are just as cute as I remember them I can hardly wait to start creating with these fun stamps again. I love the dancing chicken in the new set.
