OK - on to today's Kimono Card...
This project is THE MOST REQUESTED PROJECT that I get from YOU, my readers. Three years ago I shared a picture of a Sock Monkey PJ Card (Kimono style card) I did for a class. Wow - did you guys like that card. Ever since then - I continue to receive requests for instructions and I thought, "I better do a video!" So today is your lucky day!
Ain't it cute?! It's surprisingly easy to do, especially with the tips I provide in the video. Check it out!

I love the vintage/shabby chic look so my fav DP is now Beau Chateau. The kimona card is fantastic. Must try it. Thanks for sharing your unique talent.

Hi Dawn,
I loved your kimono video so much that I had to make one right away. Your directions were SO easy to follow. I had no problems getting it together. I used the small pink and green plaid from the new Christmas paper, Letters to Santa. It is SO cute!! I can't wait to make another one. Thanks so much for sharing this adorable idea with us.

My absolute favorite DSP has got to be the Flurtatious Papers..>OMG....those die cut doilies..and having the opposite side white...so reminds me of my grandma and how she use to crochet doilies. Grandma is no longer with us but using these papers brings back so many wonderful memories of her.
PS...thanks for the wonderful videos...so enjoy them all....

Favorite DSP= Mocha Morning followed closely by Beau Chateau. :) This is such a unique card. Thanks for the video. Folding the cardstock for the inside of your card is brilliant.
Posted by: HeatherN | August 25, 2011 at 12:12 AM
Wow! Awesome card... I am so awestruck by the many "faces" of paper - just how much one can do with it!! Thanks for sharing and for the chance at calorie-free sweet blog candy!!!
Posted by: Cassandra | August 24, 2011 at 11:15 PM
Thanks so much for the kimono video. It is SO cute! I'm not a coffee drinker, but I'm liking that Mocha Morning Specialty DP.
Posted by: Sharon Miller | August 24, 2011 at 09:43 PM
It is very difficult to just pick one....but I will have to go with "flirtatious specialty". It is so delicate and very pretty!
Posted by: A.J. | August 24, 2011 at 09:33 PM
What a neat card!! My favorite dsp currently is Paisley Petals. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas & videos.

Hi, Dawn!
I loved your Kimono Card and video. It's so simple to follow. Thanks for sharing your talents.
I am partial to the Flirtatious Speciality DSP. I also like the Beyond the Garden DSP.
Blessings,
Sandi

Thank you for the tutorial. LOVED IT! I think my favorite DSP is Well Worn or Paisley Petals. But to be honest, it changes with every new card or idea I see. There are some that I think "not really for me" but see something and go "oh, I love that paper."
Posted by: BJ TETZLAFF | August 24, 2011 at 11:14 AM
Oh my - i can't wait to go make one of those kimono cards!!! thank you! as for my favorite dsp - hhmmm.....i would have to say well worn...today ;)
Posted by: Regina Cornelius | August 24, 2011 at 11:07 AM
Favorite DSP. That's tough one. Current, I will go with Paisley Petals. My all time favorite is probably Razzleberry Lemonade. Thanks for the blog candy.
Posted by: Carol B | August 24, 2011 at 10:29 AM

Hi Dawn
Love your creations. Check your site every day and get great inspiration from it. My favorite DSP is Beau Chateau....Great work!
Posted by: Wendy Ashby | August 24, 2011 at 09:15 AM
oh, so hard to choose! It seems to change daily along with my mood. Right no my fav is Beau Château DSP. I've never really been into the "shabby" look, but this paper makes it so easy and fun. Ask again next week and I'm sure I'll have a different answer, as I seem to love them all!
Posted by: Jeanne | August 24, 2011 at 09:10 AM

My favorite DSP 'today' is Spice Cake. I'm ready for fall and cooler weather and making cards with these designs makes me want to plant mums and walk through the fallen leaves in the woods. Thank you for sharing your ideas! I use so many of them! Congratulations on reaching 2 million hits! Great accomplishment!
