A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea


The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

  • Gears & Textures bundle; another wow with Candace’s fun fold card


    Today I’m sharing a neat card made by Candace; my talented team member. She used the Gears & Textures bundle to make this:

    You can see the Gears & Textures bundle here. It’s so special & unique and perfect for masculine cards. But as you can see in Candace’s card it’s great for gals too!

    She made her own paper with the stamps in the set. She used Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy & Flirty Flamingo inks. She added die-cut gears from the Metallic Textured Specialty papers seen here.

    If you want to make a card like this start out with a 4 1/4″ X 11″ piece of card stock scored at 5 1/2″. Trim off a 1 1/2″ piece from one end. Then trim off another 2 1/2″ piece which is the vertical center piece. The stamped paper layers are 1 1/4″ X 4″ on the top & bottom and the center is 2 1/4″ X 4″.

    Thanks for the amazing fun fold card Candace!

  • Sweet Encircled with Love Valentine’s card


    Tracey created this striking card with the Made with Love designer paper:

    I love the abstract designer paper pieces she added to her White layer. Then to make sure the greeting was the focal point she added the top square of DSP. Perfect!
    This is a great example of taking leftover pieces of coordinating DSP and layering them up. A great way to use scraps!

    She used the Encircled with Love stamp set seen here along with the 1 3/4″ & 1 7/8″ circle punches. Her colors include Real Red, Flirty Flamingo with White which she got from the pretty designer paper.

    See the Made with Love designer paper here.

    Your card inspired me to look at and use my DSP scraps Tracey! Thank you.

  • Triple Z-fold with Friendly Foliage with video & free project sheet


    We made this cool card at my Card Clubs in November. I adore the Friendly Foliage bundle!

    This fun fold looks difficult but it’s quite deceiving. It’s really so simple to make; I hope you try one! I’m a bit obsessed with this fold!

    The Friendly Foliage bundle is a big favorite of many since it came out in our Online store a few months ago.

    The designer paper seen below is from the Need for Tweed package which is on the Last Chance List right now and discounted. See it here.

    I also used the Branching Out dies for the outer frame. My colors include Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon & Basic Beige. This soft & soothing color combo really works!

    Here is the free project sheet. Click here to download or print it.

    And here is the video tutorial for you.
