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!

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!

I love this Kimono card! I just returned to the states after living in Japan for three years so this is perfect! My favorite DSP is Berry Blossoms. It is so bright and cheerful and I love the patterns.
Posted by: Jamie Adcock | August 23, 2011 at 09:01 PM
I think I'd like to try the kimono card in my favorite-First Edition--for someone like my husband who gets up every morning and reads the Post. It would need some color--have to back it with an accent dsp for contrast, I guess.
Posted by: Judi Dunn | August 23, 2011 at 08:53 PM
