2 more Botanical Layers card ideas!

Once I started I couldn't seem to stop creating with the Botanical Layers stamp set.  I made this card for an online swap:

Botanical Layers lavender Save

It's a Dutch door monochromatic card in Orchid Oasis.  Do you like these type of cards as much as I do?  I find cards with one main color very soothing to the eye and just plain pretty!  

I stamped the main image multiple times without reinking.  I love that about our inks; you can get multiple hues with one color. 

Details:

  • The card front opens at the bottom only.  
  • I used the Stitched Greenery die for the inside White layer.  
  • There is a half circle of Orchid Oasis ombre glimmer paper at the top with the bow.  
  • The tag is from the Tea Cup dies; the greeting is from the Cup of Tea stamp set. 

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X8 1/2"; score at 4 1/4" then trim off at 2 3/4" up to the top of the card.  Save this piece for the front layer
  • Front layer (cut from the card base) is 2 3/4" X 4"
  • White front is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

This next card was made with the Inked Block technique. 

Here's how:

  • I colored an 'H' block with Stampin' Write markers in Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Tahitian Tide. 
  • Then I spritzed alcohol on it (you can use water; alcohol dries faster) and pressed it onto my White CS and let it dry. 
  • Lay a piece of copy paper over it and set something heavy on it so it dries flat.

After it's dry I stamped the botanical image in Starry Sky ink and used the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

The greeting is also from the Botanical Layers set; the die-cut is from the All That dies. 

You can see a video on this technique here.

  • Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look

    On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product.  It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here. Here's one of the cards I made: 

    Happiest Day glimmer stripes Save

    I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal.  See it here.  The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies. 

    Here's how I stamped the inside.

    For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).

    The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here.

    I did not make a project sheet for this card since it's so simple. 

    Here are the measurements:

    • White card base – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", White deckled rectangle die-cut 2 5/8" X 3 7/8", circle die-cut1 5/8"
    • Black – 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
    • Glimmer paper strips – 5 1/4" X 3/8"

    Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with a special edge technique and a few other ideas as well.
