Prima Homegrown Die Cut Window Card Tutorial

Hello, Friends!  Our Wonderful Wednesday project for today is a super cute Die Cut Window Card Tutorial featuring Prima Homegrown.  This card looks really impressive, but it’s actually very easy to make…once you  know how!

I hope you’ll enjoy this tutorial over on my YouTube channel:

 

Where to Find Links and Basic Measurements

Some of you have asked me where to find the linked supply list and/or the basic instructions for our Wonderful Wednesday projects.  If you are watching YouTube on a laptop, pad, or desktop, there is an information box directly below the video title.  (Scroll down below the video to see it.)  Look for the bold print that says “more.,..” and click on that.  The description box will open and you will find all the information you are looking for.  I hope that helps.  If you are watching on TV, you will not see the box.

News & Updates

This is a busy week at Kathy by Design!  Our long-awaited Button Farm Club Christmas Card Kit will release on Friday (the 28th).  I’ll be back then to share the kit reveal with you.  It’s such a beautiful kit this year….and you’ll get a little sneak peek of one of the goodies in the kit in today’s tutorial.  I couldn’t wait to share it with you.

On the knee front, I’m doing really well.  I’m walking a LOT, doing exercises and getting back to normal.  I still get very fatigued by the end of the day.  And, it I overdo it…I pay a price the next day with swelling and tenderness.  So I’m learning my boundaries and feeling really good overall.

I Need to Hear From You

Another bit update is that I am seriously thinking of not renewing my blog this year.  The price has gone up quite a lot…and I’m not sure how many people are actually reading it.  So I need to hear from you:  do you read the blog?  Or do you just watch my YouTube channel and social media sites?  Hearing from you will  help me make a quality decision.

Now, I hope y’all have a blast making your own version of this Die Cut Window Card Tutorial.  I think this would be so cute for Christmas!  What do you think?

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

Prima Homegrown Triple Wiper Card Tutorial

Prima Homegrown-Triple Easel Card-Tutorial-Kathy Clement-Kathy by Design

Prima Homegrown Triple Easel Card Tutorial for Wonderful Wednesday

Hello, Friends!  It’s Wonderful Wednesday and I have the cutest Triple Easel Card Tutorial to share with you today.  Y’all know how much I love a good pop up card, so when I saw this new style of wiper card, I just had to take it for a spin with Prima’s Homegrown collection.

The card construction is beautiful in its simplicity, and amazing in its function.  First of all, there are no dies involved.  Start with  4 simple matted layers of cardstock.  Next, score and fold 3 wiper arm mechanisms between the layers.  Then add your fussy cut layers or ephemera bits to the ends of the wiper arms.  Add whatever embellishments you like, and you are done!

My card base is 5″x 7″ so it’s larger than many of the samples you will find online.  It does fold all the way down for mailing, but will need a bubble mailer because it’s a little bit thick, and the pull tab makes it wider than 5″.

Two Sets of Mice is Twice as Nice!

I had so much fun making my first Triple Wiper Card that I set up for a second go round.  I think you’re really going to enjoy making this fun card design.

And, of course, you can make it in any theme with any paper you have in your stash.  You can bet I will be making some holiday cards with this fun design.

If you’d like to learn how to make this pop up card, then please grab a cuppa and a snack and enjoy the tutorial.

Personal Update

So many of you have asked how I’m coming along with my knee replacement recovery that I thought I’d address that for you.

The short answer is, I’m doing really well.  Some days are better than others, and I’m still dealing with stiffness and swelling.  But I’m walking several times a day and doing physical therapy twice a week.  I see gradual improvement on most days.  I’m still learning how to get along with my new knee, and it makes me feel very tired by the end of the day.  I’m 6 weeks into the recovery process, and my PT says I’m doing great.

Thank you for all your kind thoughts, prayers, wishes, cards and encouragement.  This has been quite a year…but I’m getting all this behind me so that 2027 will be amazing.

As always, thanks for stopping by, friend!

Cheerio,

kathy

Heart & Home Tag Mini Album Tutorial

Tag Mini Album-Tutorial-Paper Rose-Heart & Home-Kathy Clement-Kathy by Design

Paper Rose Heart & Home Tag Mini Album Tutorial

Hello, Friends!  Today I have the cutest Paper Rose Heart & Home Tag Mini Album Tutorial to share with you.  It’s easy to make, fun to embellish, and makes a great gift!

Graphic 45 Large Kraft Tags form the album base and pages.  Regular Kraft Tags serve as flip pages on the inside.  The binding system is so easy that I just know you’re going to want to make a pile of these little albums!  You can the Heart & Home Collection or whatever theme and paper collection you like best.

Kitschy Kitchen Fun

I have a veritable treasure trove of kitschy kitchen charms in my stash.  Putting them into service for this dangle spine treatment made me very happy.

TIP:  Drill (or have your hubby drill, as I did) small holes in the handles of Tim Holtz Mini Cutlery.  Then thread them onto some jump rings for a cute, quick dangle charm.  Punch a hole in the top of your spine with a Crop-a-Dile tool, then add a large eyelet.  Slip a binding ring through the eyelet, thread on your jump ring charms and tie on a bit of linen ribbon.

Lots of Room for Photos

Here’s a peek inside the album along with simple tips for assembly.  (You can find the basic measurements and instructions in the description box below the video on my YouTube channel.)

  • First, use G45 Staples Tag Dies to cut covers for your large and regular tags.
  • Next, create envelopes for the front and back inside covers.  These will hold 3×5 index cards or recipe cards.  I designed my recipe cards on my computer.
  • Alternate regular tags between each large tag.  I’ll show you how to make these easy flip pages in the video tutorial.

TIP: Cut the top flaps off the envelopes and use them as slash pockets!

Paper Rose Heart & Home Shaker Card Folio Tutorial

Paper Rose Heart & Home Shaker Card Folio Tutorial for Wonderful Wednesday

Hello, Friends!  Don’t you want to just cozy up inside this Paper Rose Heart & Home Shaker Card Folio?  Today’s Wonderful Wednesday tutorial is filled with lots of easy techniques and ideas that will help you create a card so beautiful, you might want to live in it!

My “go to” card size is 5″ x 7″ (A7).  I also prefer a top fold style card because they are so pretty when on display (and they photograph better, too!). But how do you make an A7 card base with 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper?  If you haven’t seen me do this in the past, you’ll learn just how quick and easy it is in today’s tutorial.

Most of the elements in today’s project are made using the Heart & Home Quick Cards Kit.  With a lovely selection of 6″ x 8″ patterned papers and 4 sheets of embossed die cuts, it has a lot to offer.

Shaker Cards are the Best

Paper Rose Studio-Heart & Home-Shaker Card-Pop Out Panel-Card-Tutorial-Kathy Clement-Kathy by Design

Arch shaped dies are all the rage right now.  So I used one of the Heartfelt Creations Eyelet Frame Gateway Dies to create my shaker window.  This creates that “I could walk into this card” feeling because of the depth and dimension it adds to the card design.  You can use any arch die, or any of the Heartfelt Creations Gateway dies to create this effect.

Surprise Pop Out Box

Y’all know that I enjoy creating the insides of my cards as much as I enjoy embellishing the outsides.  Add a simple flap feature inside the card along with an easy to make pop out box.  This surprise element adds fun and elevates the design, too.

Would you like to see how this card came together?  Then I invite you to grab a cuppa and a snack, put your feet up, and enjoy the tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Of course, you can use this card “recipe” with any paper collection you happen to have in your stash.  It’s a good one to add to your card making adventures.

Next week, we will dig into this gorgeous paper collection and make something with a kitchen theme.  I’m feeling a tag project coming on, so we’ll see what happens next!

You will find basic card instructions in the description box below the video on my YouTube channel along with linked and tagged supplies for your shopping convenience.  There’s also a linked supply list below this post.

WOW As Many as You Can Card Challenge Tutorial

Paper Rose Words of Wisdom-WOW-as-many-as-you=can-card challenge-tutorial-Kathy Clement-Kathy by Design-Reneabouquets

WOW As Many as You Can Card Challenge Tutorial with Paper Rose Words of Wisdom
A “Use Your Scraps” Project

Hello, Friends!  Welcome to a Wonderful Wednesday As Many as You Can Card Challenge Tutorial.  We are going to have so much fun using up our beautiful bits and pieces of  the Paper Rose Words of Wisdom collection.  We will be creating 4 greeting cards using only our designer paper scraps, cardstock from my stash, and gorgeous Reneabouquets paper pretties.

Lately, I’ve been on a mission to “use up” the collection I’m working with instead of stashing it away in the Closet of Inspiration (formerly known as “The Closet of Shame”).  Why let those precious bits and pieces languish in the dark when you can use them to make tags and greeting cards?

So that is our mission for today.  Are you ready to get started?

Do Everything with Love Cut Away Card with Pop Out Box

Our first project is this gorgeous cut away shaker card featuring printed Beautiful Board from Reneabouquets.  Even the card base is made from scraps!  There’s a really sweet pop out box/gift card wallet hidden on the inside.  You’ll want to add this card design to your card making toolbox for sure.

Butterflies and Fairy Cut Away Shaker Card

Blue and yellow has to be one of my favorite color palettes for spring and summer card making.  It’s like looking at golden sunshine in a crystal blue sky, isn’ t it?

This square cut away card base is also made with scraps.  I sure do love clearing scraps off my work space instead of letting them pile up, don’t you?

Once again, I’ve featured Reneabouquets flowers and beautiful board on this shaker frame.  It’s a great way to create a “finished” card when you are running low on journal cards or focal images.

Bluebirds and Dragonflies Sympathy Card

Sympathy cards are in the category of “I hope I don’t have to make one”.  But when you do, you want it to be really special.  Even though I’ve used the same blue and yellow color palette here, the card still has a feeling of peace and serenity.  The smaller patterns from the 6×6 pad and the simple shaker frame contribute to that.

Botanical Birdies

What is it about sweet wee birds that always makes me happy?  This printed Beautiful Board image from Reneabouquets is one of my all-time favorites.  I’m excited to share the sneaky little tricks I used to turn “not enough paper” into a beautifully layered card front.  It’s one you’ll want to add to your toolbox for sure.

WOW As Many as You Can Card Challenge Tutorial on YouTube

If you’d like to see me meet the challenge of creating as many cards as I can from scraps, then please grab a cuppa and a snack and enjoy this tutorial on my YouTube channel.

Coming in May!

Next week is the first Wednesday in May.  How did that happen so fast?  We’ll be starting a new mini album tutorial series featuring the Stamperia Daisy Art collection. I shared a preview reel of the collection HERE.  You will find a linked supply list of the products we’ll be using in the description box below the product share on my YouTube Channel.

Can’t wait to get started!  How about you?
