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

November 10, 2023

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

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.

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

Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video

March 16, 2023
Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets. Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.

Save

I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners. This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive. The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all. I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving.

The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog.

My measurements are:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
- Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
- White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- Black 3 3/4" X 4 3/4"

Below is a photo of the pretty Decorative Borders stamp set. There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below. It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too!

Here's how I finished the inside of the card.

Love Cats video tutorial with an easy but unique fun fold

March 15, 2023
We made this CUTE card at my February card clubs. It really shows off the Love Cats stamp set seen here.

Save

I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?

Save

In order to get full, solid images I used the Stamparatus for the cats. It makes a world of difference! *Catch the tips in the video below.

Save

*Other items used here are the Conversation Bubbles dies, Pastel Adhesive-backed sequins, Balmy Blue variegated ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Sweet Sorbet Blends marker

Measurements:
- Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½”
- Sweet Sorbet 8” X 5 ¼” scored at 4”
- White inside is 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
- DSP 1 ½” X 5 ¼”
I used the Happy Labels stamp set for the inside greetings. It has some fabulous images; see it here.
