2 cute cards with the Pampered Pets bundle

June 18, 2020

I featured the Playful Pets bundle when I made these two cards at Tuesday's Facebook Live this week. This suite is absolutely adorable!

Here's a close up of the first card. The texture of the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder is so neat. It's subtle but still quite noticeable with a unique texture.

This card shows just a peak of the cute Playful Pets designer series paper between the textured layers.

See the paw prints on the bottom right? That is a die in the Pets dies. I placed a scrap of Black CS behind it to show it off. You can see the entire Playful Pets suite here.

The dog is cut from the Playful Pets DSP; the Pet dies match some of the images in the paper! I added a bit of the Playful Pets trim for a collar and a bone from the Pet Trinkets. Below are the measurements for this card:

Real Red 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 1” X 5 ½”, 2 ¼” X 5 ½” textured pieces
1 ¼” X 5 ½” Designer Series Paper

Other products used: Tasteful Textile folder, Stitched Shapes and Layering Circles dies

Below are both cards I made in the FB Live video. Click here to see it.

The second card is a unique fold where the Black piece is the full back of the card and the Real Red is scored for the card opening. It's a fun and unique card that works well with our Designer paper. Whether you use 6 X 6" or 12 X 12" paper it all works without much waste when cutting.

Measurements:

Black 5 ½” X 4 1/4”
Real Red 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”,
Designer Series Paper 5 ½” X 3”
Soft Suede 1" X 4 1/4"
White strip is 3/4" X 3 1/2"

Here I stamped the mountains and trees in Black ink and sponged the pretty background. I punched out a 1 1/2" circle from post-it paper and adhered it to my White card stock before I sponged.

Details:
- I used these inks: Black Memento, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo, Cherry Cobbler
- The greeting dies are from the Well Written set here
- The black die-cut trees on the left are from the Majestic Mountain dies.

Ombre sponging technique with Flowering Foils

March 5, 2020
Before I talk about today's project I have to let you know that they Golden Honey Designer Paper is no longer available. It was one of the free choices during Sale-a-Bration. Unfortunately these products are only available while supplies last. So don't delay on your orders!

This next card is a version of a card I'm sending to my new Team members who purchased the Starter kit this month. I chose to use Bermuda Bay with Black and White; you know the 'Black & White with a pop of color' theme. It's a classic and always works!

Save

I started out with a 2" X 5" strip of the Flowering Foils specialty designer paper. It's gorgeous with silver and rose gold foil designs. You can see it here. It's a free choice with any $50 order while supplies last.

I inked a wedge of sponge in Bermuda Bay ink and lightly sponged from bottom up. I always start off of the card stock when I want a smooth look. Also sponge in a soft circular motion; almost like you are washing it. You can see me demo this in my FB Live video here.

Other Details:
- Rare Blessings stamp set for the greeting
- Stitched So Sweetly dies
- pearls are colored with the dark Bermuda Bay Blends marker
- The flower is fussy cut from the same designer paper and colored with light Bermuda Bay Blends marker
