A gorgeous Handcrafted Ornaments card with video & free project sheet!

   Look at this beautiful card made with the Handcrafted Elements dies!

Save

These dies are seen in our 2023 Holiday catalog or online here.  There are two dies in the set that create that pretty, layered ornament.

I chose to use Starry Sky & Orchid Oasis along with the Brushed Gold cards. For the stamped bough image under the banner, I used Wild Wheat ink, stamped off once.  It's surprisingly close to gold! 

This card is one we made at my October Card Clubs; they could choose their favorite greeting and also the color of bow on the ornament.  

Save

I used the Distressed Tile 3d embossing folder seen here.

Look at the stunning golden shine on this card!

I shared a second card made with the other half of the Brushed Gold card base in the video here.  I hope you watch it! I will share the details on that card tomorrow.

• Fragrant Forest & Countryside Corners in a fun fold layout with video

  December 15, 2023

  ---

  I've been sharing my Fragrant Forest projects from last week's Live; this is the third one. I have a video below to watch plus free project sheets for each card too.  See this stamp set here.

  Save

  I chose a simple color combo of White & Pretty Peacock. The designer paper on the upper flap is the Hello, Irresistible from our Online Exclusives line. 

  The die-cuts are the Countryside Corners from the Annual catalog; seen here. Can you see the raised lines on the inside white? I used my Simply Scored 1/4" from each edge. 

  Here's the free project sheet with measurements, photo and more: Download Fragrant Forest Funfold card

  I couldn't decide if I like the clean look of the card on the lower right or the added forest on the lower left card. Which do you prefer? 

  Save

  Here's the inside view of the upper left card.  I used the Lasting Joy stamp set for my greeting and sentiments. I find I'm reaching for this one often. See it here. 

  Save

  You might wonder just how I achieved inking only the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the left card above. Watch the video here. 

  I cut my stamp apart!

  On last week's Live video I featured the Fragrant Forest stamp set. Trees are one of my 'go to' choices for card making; I like most botanical images though. I find them comforting and versatile and this large background stamp is truly beautiful. 

  Save

  I kept my colors to White & Pretty Peacock. If you ever struggle with color combos try just one with White or Vanilla; they're usually quite beautiful. 

  Dies used here include the Countryside Corner dies (2023-24 annual catalog) & Forever Forest dies (2023 Holiday catalog) for the die-cut mountains on the bottom of the card . The greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies; a definite must have! See the Fragrant Forest stamp set here. 

  Here's the inside view:
