3 completely different cards with the Friendly Hello bundle; WOW!

January 21, 2022

Our Sale-a-Bration promotion is everyone's favorite time of year; who doesn't love to get something free?!

This year our product line includes a stamp set & 12 X 12" designer paper combo called Friendly Hello. I love both the stamps and the DSP. The stamps include floral, botanical and greeting images and the paper can be either soft & pretty or bright & eye catching!

Look at these three extremely different cards all featuring the same stamps & DSP:

Save

This card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I chose to use the Granny Apple Green sheet of DSP and paired it with Black & White. It's a simple layout that really shows off the colors & products.

Details:

The greeting is stamped onto a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends die.
That delicate leaf die-cut is from the Tropical Layers dies in the Jan-June catalog.
The butterfly is from the Catching Butterflies Sale-a-Bration stamp set.

Next is a pretty swap Ginny made but so much softer in colors.

Save

She covered the entire card front with her Designer Paper and added a banner from another sheet of the DSP under the main White scalloped piece. She stamped in Gray Granite and colored in the bird & flowers with Blends markers.

Lastly today is another card I made for a swap. I paired the Pool Party sheet of this Designer Paper with Early Espresso. I've always loved these colors together. I stamped the flowers in Early Espresso ink onto our Vellum card stock and immediately heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Yes you CAN emboss with our Classic ink pads!

Save

I textured the Pool Party card stock with the new Gingham embossing folder and rounded the upper right corner. I also cut our new frayed 3/4" White ribbon in half lengthwise and wrapped it round the left edge of the card stock.

Mountain Air; a gorgeous scene

March 2, 2020

You might know that I love creating scenic cards. Even though my nickname is 'Flowerbug' that's because I am a gardener; not because I love flowers. I do! But when making cards I actually lean towards botanicals or scenes with trees and water. This card is a perfect example of my 'style' using the Mountain Air bundle seen here.

I created it on my Facebook Live two weeks ago. It's super easy to make! Here's a link to it on FB.

The colors here are Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and Whisper White. I did use one of the dies from the Mountain Air bundle; that pretty detailed tree. I also sponged the mountains and trees a bit then stamped the trees again upside down in White Craft ink for 'water'. The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set.

I love this set so much I am featuring it in March. Anyone who purchases the Mountain Air stamp set or bundle from me (past or in March) qualifies to receive the 10 cards project tutorial. And all online orders (of any amount) will also receive it!

Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!

February 28, 2020
This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects. Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock.

I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy.

Here's how to make this pretty card.
1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree.
3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).
4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base.
5. Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect. (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch. I share it on the video below.
7. I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting.
Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card.

Over the Moon Fun-Fold card

February 27, 2020
My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month. Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month. They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!

It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.

Save

Isn't it cute? It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here. Aren't they perfect?!!!
