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:

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. 

Save

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.

• Beautiful Vine Design with Oh So Ombre with video!

  January 14, 2021

  ---

  What do you think of the Oh So Ombre designer paper?  Have you seen it yet?  If not look here.  

  Save

  It's a 6 X 6" pack of 48 sheets of Designer Series Paper.  There are 2 designs and 4 colors in this pretty pack and it's FREE with any $50 order during  Sale-a-Bration! 

  I created this card with it for a Flowerbug's swap a few weeks ago. The first card features the Bermuda Bay color in the pack.

  Of course I chose to use all new products!  The pretty stitched outline is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here.  I love that they don't actually cut; they just stitch a pretty outline. You can really notice the Ombre since I switched the die when I inserted it back in the window. Watch how in the video. 

  The intricate die is from the Flowering Vines die.  It's part of the bundle with the Vine Design stamp set which is where the greeting images are from.  See them here.

  Here I used the BlackBerry Bliss piece of DSP.  Which do you prefer?  

  I hope you watch the quick video I made featuring these new products.

  Lately I've been offering two different pre-cut card kits each month.  I'm finding so many great products to feature; I cannot help it!  And I like offering a variety of options for my customers.  

  Did you notice the Happy Thoughts stamp set in the new Spring catalog?  It's filled with beautiful greetings; something many of us cannot get enough of.  So I created a group of 8 fun fold cards around this set.  Look!

  I also decided to use the Happy Blooms designer paper; I love the colors & patterns so much.  This paper is free with any $50 online order from now through February 28th.  See it here. 

  Here are two unique cards in this kit.  Remember you get two of each in the kit; one to keep for ideas and one to send.
