A great way to add multiple pieces with the Press & Seal technique


I shared this pretty card on last week’s video featuring new products and a neat and easy technique. If you’ve ever struggled to add multiple pieces perfectly, as you’ve laid them out, this will help you so much!

My colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and White. The large die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies and the greeting & leaves dies are from the Creative Haven dies seen here.

Tips on using Press & Seal to adhere die-cuts perfectly in place:
I placed the center greeting piece in the center of the Postage die-cut. Then I tucked each die-cut leaf under and around it placing them just where I wanted them. Next I lifted the greeting piece off and pressed a piece of my Press & Seal kitchen wrap onto the die-cut leaves. Once they were all stuck on the wrap I turned them over and added adhesive to the back. I then turned it over and adhered it to my White layer. Let it dry or set a bit and then carefully peel off the Press & Seal wrap.

I love this technique!!

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions and a product list. You can see or download it here.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more pretty Easel card too.

The kits below will ship out this week so you have plenty of time to finish them by December. And they’re quick & easy too!

The Christmas Tags & More cards are easy because there isn’t any stamping. The greetings are from the gold foil ephemera pack included in the kit.

This kit to go includes a share of the festive designer paper, the ribbon, the peppermint gems, the ephemera greetings, the PDF tutorial and video too. Plus the pre-cut 10 cards that are all fun folds. All for $30 plus shipping. It’s a fabulous deal!

Don’t wait long; I have just a few left. Go here to get yours. *You will need to cut your new designer paper for the cards but my directions make that simple.

The other kit I created this month is also easy but does require stamped greetings. But there is very little prep & just a little trimming of the card bases to create these beautiful wintery cards:

These cards could be winter or holiday; it’s your choice when you stamp the greetings.

This kit originated from a former Paper Pumpkin kit but I jazzed up the cards and added more to create 12 gorgeous cards. This kit includes 12 envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial.
I have a few left so grab yours soon. This kit is $29 and you can see it here.

  • A WOW fun fold card with Dragonfly Dreams!


    This weekend my Flowerbug's Team held our monthly card swap & Team gathering.  Our theme was window cards and I'll be sharing them all week long!

    Check out this special Z fold card Jacki made!  

    Her colors are Terracotta Tile, Black & White and the Dandy Garden Designer paper seen here.  Did you know that the Dragonfly Punch coordinates with this Designer Paper?  She punched her dragonflies directly out of the paper!  No stamping for these at all! See the Dragonfly Garden bundle here. 

    Check out the whole suite of products here. 

    This card features almost two full card bases with just a few score lines. It looks a lot harder than it is.  

    • Terracotta Tile – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Whisper White – front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside fold is 5 1/4" X 8" scored on the long edge at 4" X 6". 
    • Designer paper – 1 3/4" X 5" 

    Her 'window' in the front is 2 3/8" and the black circle on the inside fold is the same.  The White greeting circle is 2 1/8".  All of these circles are cut with the Circle dies in the Annual Catalog. 

    Steps to assemble this card:

    • You'll adhere the White front to the main card base and then cut your window. 
    • Stamp on the inside White card before adhering to the inside of the main card.
    • Add the Designer paper to the inside fold.
    • Die-cut the greeting circles and adhere together. 
    • Fold the card closed and add the circle to the inside fold 'through' the front window.  Perfect placement!   

    More window cards posted tomorrow and all week long!

  • Create gorgeous backgrounds with just a few common stamping items! Video tutorial!


    On Tuesday's FB live I shared a fun and easy technique for gorgeous backgrounds.  Once you create them you can use them to create stunning, beautiful cards like these:

    This was my first try at this technique this week.  Honestly it's not a new technique at all but I hadn't done it for years! The stamp set is called Soar Confidently (seen here) and I hadn't used it yet.  I think it works wonderfully with a pretty background. 

    I used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point Stampin' Write markers on an E block and spritzed with plain water.  Then 'stamp' on our Basic White CS and let dry with the block on it (this prevents warping).  Then stamp on it with any black ink.  

    Here are a few more samples I shared: 

    The left card above features the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the right is the Floating & Fluttering set. 

    See what I mean?  And it's fun too!  Each time you do it they turn out differently so it's kind of addicting!  Watch the video below to see how easy it can be.
