Lots Of Charming Duck Pond Lily Pond Lane Cards!

After making my swaps that I shared yesterday, I had lots of pieces of Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper leftover. I had fun coming up with ways to use them and made a bunch of cards! 


This design was CASE'd from Tami W. It's a really cute design, but it doesn't leave much room to write without it showing when the card is closed.


Here's a side view of it
Colors: Basic White, Old Olive, Pretty Peacock


This is a Z fold. This sheet of paper didn't have any ducks on it, so I fussy-cut some from another sheet.
Colors: Granny Apple Green, Pretty Peacock


This and the next two cards don't have any DSP on them. They use the Charming Duck Pond Dies. 
Colors: Basic Black, Balmy Blue


Colors: Basic Black, Basic White, Balmy Blue


Colors: Basic White, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie


Still using the dies, but adding some DSP and fussy-cut ducks
Colors: Basic White, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green, Pretty In Pink, Smoky Slate


This card and the next two have 1 7/8" squares of DSP
Colors: Basic White, Peach Pie, Pretty Peacock


The "Happy Birthday" is from Wanted To Say Dies. I love them and am so bummed they are on the Last Chance List! 
Colors: Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, Pretty Peacock


Colors: Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, Pretty Peacock


The main piece of DSP is 3 x 4", the side pieces are 1 x 3"
Colors: Granny Apple Green, Pretty In Pink, Pretty Peacock


3 1/2" in long strips of DSP in varying widths
Colors: Gray Granite, Peach Pie


The last two are 1 x 2" strips of DSP. The saying is from Hope You Know, which just recently sold out from the Last Chance List.
Colors: Gray Granite, Pretty Peacock


Colors: Basic White, Gray Granite, Pretty Peacock

So Sincere Lily Pond Lane Double Fun Fold

I was scrolling through Pinterest and found a cool new (to me, at least!) fun fold that Karen T. shared. I decided to try it for my cards for our April Stamp Share swap. I used Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper that is on the Last Chance List, as are the coordinating Charming Duck Pond stamps and dies. 


This is a Double Fun Fold- it's a Book Fold and Z Fold together!

The card base is 4 1/4 x 11", scored on the long side at 2 1/8, 4 1/4, and 5 1/2"
Layer: 3 1/4 x 4 1/4"
Designer Series Paper: 3 x 4" image, 1 x 4 and 2 x 4" patterns


I used quite a few designs from the paper so they're all a little different:


This one and the first one didn't have any ducks, so I fussy-cut some from another sheet and added them. They are so cute!






Colors: Basic White, Pretty Peacock
I used an assortment of dots and pearls, most of which are on the Last Chance List

Amy N's Unbounded Love Wildflower Birthday Make & Take

Amy N also did a Make & Take for our March Stamp Share swap. This is a really cool fun fold that I've never seen before. And once you see how it goes together, it's easy to make.



It's a regular card base with an attached piece of cardstock that has both ends folded in to make two tunnels. It folds flat to fit in an envelope.

Colors: Basic White, Pool Party

Meant To Bee Fault Line Make & Take

Did you know we have more cute bees than what's in the catalog? Thanks to the Online Store and the Scrapbooking Brochure we do! We started with the Bee My Valentine stamp set and Bee Builder Punch. Now we also have the Meant To Bee stamp set and dies! I used them for my Make & Take at our March Stamp Share.


In addition to the new stamp set and dies, we also have this adorable Designer Series Paper! It's the same design that we had when Bee My Valentine was introduced, except it has been recolored. Instead of red hearts, now they're purple! I also used Two-Tone Cardstock, which has a white core that shows when you rip it. Perfect for this design!


Another cute bee and fun saying for the inside


Comparison of bee sizes- the two on the ends are made with the dies in Meant To Bee, the center one is from the Bee Builder Punch. Aren't they cute?
