2 ways to add color to a solid image with video & free project sheet


Today's project is one we made at my March card clubs; it features the beautiful Quiet Reflection stamp set. 

This set is returning in the 2024 Annual Catalog and I'm super glad!  It's wonderful for both sympathy or thinking of you cards. And the best part is it's super easy to create with.  See the Quiet Reflection set here. 

My colors include Shaded Spruce & Starry Sky (retiring In Color). I used a few dies also – Thoughtful Expressions (retired and sold out now) and Garden Meadows dies seen here (for the arch). 

Do you know how I achieved the two-toned image of green trees with blue water?  It's so simple!  

How it's done: I placed my stamp set with the rubber face up. I inked up one half with Starry Sky ink (tapping the rubber with the ink pad) and then the other half with Shaded Spruce.  The nice thing about doing this technique with this particular stamp image is that when you place your greeting strip across the image it covers up any white space left un-inked.  

I added a few of the Gold Adhesive-backed Dragonflies & Birds seen here.  I love these so much!  They're super thin and don't add any bulk to your projects. 

In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image.

  • Beautiful Lovely Garden fun fold card kit or choose the tutorial option


    Look at this gorgeous set of cards!  I featured the Lovely Garden designer paper from our Online Exclusives. You can see it here. 


    All of these cards are unique fun fold layouts. You can use the ideas for any designer papers you own. 

    I have both a pre-cut card kit with SU products or a PDF tutorial option available. 

    This card kit includes the following items:

    • the pre-cut card kit including punched and die-cut elements
    • 1/2 pkg Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper (6" X 12")
    • a share of the Regal Foiled dots
    • a share of Paper Butterflies
    • the PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, a supply list and step by step directions.

    The kit to go can be seen here and is $31.  The PDF tutorial can be seen here and is $16. 

    Save money on shipping by choosing more than one kit! I have lots of kits and tutorials available.  See them all here. 

    Reserve your kit soon! The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. The kit is sent out at the end of April barring inventory/supply issues. 

    You'll need greeting images (I used Layering Leaves but any stamps will work), adhesives, inks and a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper.

  • Great sketch to create fast cards with Woven Textures


    On last week's video I shared two more projects made with the Textured Notes bundle which is included in the entire Botanical Textures suite seen here.  

    This lovely card features Pecan Pie with Early Espresso. I stamped directly onto the designer paper – a soft linen sheet included in the Woven Textures DSP seen here.  

    I die-cut the three rectangles with the new Textured Notes dies which is included in the Textured Notes bundle seen here.  I cannot stop using this bundle!!

    This layout was inspired by this sketch.   

    I love using sketches for my inspiration!  Think of them as a starting point.  Noticed I added a greeting layer & linen thread. 

    Did you catch the texture on the diagonal Early Espresso strip?  That's the new Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here.  I tell you this suite is incredible!  I love every single thing in it!

    Below is the inside view.  Like I said yesterday these leaf stamps are wonderful to play with. Easy, beautiful cards.

    And here is the video below; it also includes how to make the Bendy card that I shared yesterday.
