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.

  • Peaceful Poppies; easy cards!

    The new Peaceful Poppies designer series paper is gorgeous with bright, pretty colors and lots of poppies!  There's one sheet in particular that makes it super easy to make quick, floral cards. Click here to see it in my store.

    It's the sheet of paper on the far left above.

    I cut the paper at 5 1/2" across and above the flowers.  Then into 3" strips.  Now I have 8 panels of flowers ready for cards!  

    I made two cards here adding a 1" X 5 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade on the left and a white punched border using the Decorative Ribbon Border punch. The cards are Old Olive cut at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"

    The greetings are from the new Sale-a-Bration set 'Sending you Thoughts' on page 11 of that catalog.  You can see it here. The punch they're stamped on is the Timeless Label punch seen here.  

    You might wonder where I found that pretty crinkled Poppy Parade ribbon. It's the new 1/4" White crinkled ribbon that I colored Poppy with my Dark Poppy Parade blends.  I LOVE being able to color my ribbon the exact color I need for my projects!

  • Snowman Peek-a-Boo card with video

    This interactive card is fun& adorable and my gals loved it at our December club events.  

    They were anxious that it would be difficult.  There is a little trick to it but once you 'get it' you'll find it's pretty easy.

    I cased this card from my very creative friend, Julie Davison.  Her style is simple yet fun.  Her layouts are the best!

    My color scheme came from the Let it Snow specialty designer paper from the Holiday catalog.  Unfortunately that paper is out of stock.  It was VERY popular!  It's Coastal Cabana, Real Red, White and Black.

    Here's a pretty card I made for a recent online swap I participated in.  It features the Thoughtful Blooms and Small Bloom punch on pages 12 & 13 of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  I love it when SU gives us coordinating stamps and punches!

    My colors are Blushing Bride, White and Granny Apple Green.  I used the new Coastal Weave embossing folder from the Mini catalog, the Stitched Nested Label dies too. 

    I curled the little petals up with my bone folder and added the Gingham Gala adhesive-backed sequins to the center.
