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:

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

I cut my stamp apart!

Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile! And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp. Try it!

The pretty Citrus Blooms dies

August 28, 2024

While I was creating for my Live video projects I wanted to show off the pretty Citrus Blooms dies.

Save

The colors include Night of Navy, White & Old Olive. I added a small strip of the Mediterranean Blooms DSP under the Greeting of the Season white die-cut label. See these dies here; you will love them!

You can see the two Citrus Bloom dies I used to create this White & Olive frame in the photo below. I like that stitched die a lot; it can be used alone or with this leafy die. See the Citrus Bloom dies here.

Below is a video where I share a few more ideas for the Mediterranean Blooms DSP.

You’ll love this easy sketch idea for a quick & pretty card

August 27, 2024

On last week's Live video I focused on the pretty Mediterranean Blooms designer paper and this pretty color combination:

Save

My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy, White & a touch of green in the pretty Mediterranean Blooms DSP. It's on sale for a few more days! See it here.

The card base is 4 1/4"X 11" scored at 5 1/2". The Lemon Lolly is 4" X 5 1/4", DSP is 2" X 5 1/4", Navy strip 1/4" X 5 1/4"

Each month in my Flowerbug's Team we have an optional challenge that features a sketch of color combination. This is the current sketch and it inspired me to create this pretty card.

Save

Card sketches are drawings or images that can help inspire your creativity. They're a starting point. Use the basic design and change it any way you'd like.

The greeting is from the Nested Essential dies seen here. The pretty embossing folder on the Lemon Lolly layer is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here.

A Pretty Diamond Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

August 26, 2024

This card fold looks a bit tricky but it is super easy to make!

Save

It features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer paper. My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy & White.

This card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4"; score at 5 1/2" & 8 7/8".

How did I get that square to pop up on the end? Watch the video to see! But basically you trim off the outer corners from the scored and folded end.

Save

I fussy cut the lemon bunch from the designer paper. The Citrus Blooms bundle coordinates with this pretty DSP but I didn't use them here. The greetings are from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.

Here's the inside view:
