Lovely Lavender Alternate #3

January 29, 2024

This beautiful card doesn't have to be for Valentine's Day you could just send it to someone who is having a difficult time to let them know that you love them and care about them.  I think it could be used for an array of occasions.  This one has a different story for me. When I was packing the Spice Up Paper Pumpkin kits I accidentally packed two of this card in one of the kits and then sent it off to another city. So when it came time to do the video, I had used up all of my Paper Pumpkin and was missing my kit for this card.  Therefore, there is no video. I do have written instructions which you can download below but it is really easy.  The inside has a 5 1/4 x 4 Highland Heather with a 5 x 3 3/4 Basic White attached to that. The rest of it you can see on the front.

Silly Old Bear Box Card

By Debbie Chronister • June 26, 2026
This charming box card has a warm, nostalgic feel that's perfect for fans of classic storybook characters. The rich dark wood grain from Country Woods Designer Series Paper creates the look of a cozy wooden cupboard, while a diagonal strip of Silly Old Bear coordinating Designer Series Paper adds visual interest and soft contrast. A beautiful Golden Glow Bordered Ribbon tied around the spine gives the box card an elegant finishing touch and hints at the surprise hidden inside. The focal point features a sweet image of Winnie the Pooh standing on a chair, reaching into a cupboard for a pot of honey. The softly colored illustration is die cut from the Silly Old Bear DSP framed on a decorative oval frame with a Early Espresso mat, drawing your eye directly to the heartwarming scene. A few iridescent gems add just the right amount of sparkle without overpowering the vintage design. When opened, this unique box-style card provides plenty of room for a special message or small gift, making it a delightful keepsake for birthdays, thank-you notes, or anyone who appreciates the timeless charm of Pooh Bear.

Framed Violets Fun Fold

By Debbie Chronister • June 17, 2026
This elegant fun fold card showcases the beautiful Framed Violets Bundle paired with the gorgeous 2026–2028 In Color Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper . The soft striped pattern provides the perfect backdrop for the delicate violet image, which was colored using Peaceful Pine and accented with a touch of shimmer from the Barley Blush Shimmer Brush for a subtle, luminous finish. The layered focal panel adds dimension and interest, while the sweet 2026–2028 In Color Butterflies bring a whimsical touch as they flutter around the floral image. A soft Barley Blush Ribbon bow completes the design, adding texture and elegance. This fun fold card is a wonderful way to showcase these beautiful new In Colors while creating a card that is sure to delight the recipient.

SAFARI SMILES DOUBLE Z FOLD

By Debbie Chronister • June 3, 2026
This adorable Double Z Fold card features the charming Safari Smiles Bundle and is full of fun details and dimension. To create the ground scene, I incorporated the tree image from the Twisted In Time Bundle, adding the perfect touch of whimsy to the design. The soft cloudy sky was created using a homemade cloud template made from a retired Cloud Punch and lightly blended with Cloud Cover ink using a Blending Brush. The sweet elephants were colored with the Light Smokey Slate Stampin' Blend, giving them a soft and realistic appearance. Cloud Cover cardstock was the perfect choice for the card base, tying all the elements together beautifully. Be sure to download the FREE Project Sheet below for complete measurements, supplies, and step-by-step instructions to create this fun fold card yourself!

Balloon Festoon Double Z Fold Card

By Debbie Chronister • May 27, 2026
I created this fun and interactive Z Double fold card using the beautiful Balloon Festoon Bundle paired with soft Pool Party cardstock and the lovely Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper for a fresh and cheerful look. The Z fold design adds movement and dimension, making the card extra special when displayed. I loved combining the festive balloon images with the soft patterns from the designer paper to create a playful celebration theme with lots of layered detail. The Pool Party color palette gave the project a light, airy feel while allowing the balloons, patterned paper, and embellishments to really stand out. This card was such a fun way to showcase both the unique fold and the versatility of the bundle and designer series paper together. The entire PDF Instructions for 18 alternate cards using the Pretty Party kit is available for purchase in my store along with other Tutorials & Kits.
