A Touch of Ink Fun Fold card with Oh So Ombre; quick & easy!

We made these pretty fun fold cards at my February card clubs!  I think the A Touch of Ink stamp set is incredibly versatile!  There was an option for everyone's needs.

I shared this card on my FB Live yesterday plus two others with this paper & stamp set.  You can see it here.

Aren't they pretty?!  I feel like these two Sale-a-Bration choices go together perfectly.  The Ombre DSP lets the stamp shine though.  You can get either or both free with an order through February 28th.  Sale-a-Bration ends then and there won't be anymore 'free' with purchase options.  

Go here to see the A Touch of Ink stamp set and here to see the Oh So Ombre DSP.

I added some of our new Black Matte gems and the pretty Black Glittered ribbon too.  That neat stitched die-cut is from the Stitched Nested Label dies seen here.

• Holiday Catalog sneak peak video; the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks for gorgeous sunflowers!

  August 17, 2023

  ---

  Look at these beautiful sunflowers! 

  Save

  Can you tell that they're not stamped? I used a brand new set of decorative masks called Abundant Beauty, from the upcoming 2023 Holiday mini catalog.  It's a set of 7 masks including 4 for the sunflowers, snowflakes, houndstooth and falling leaves.

  I used sponge daubers and the following colors: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Pecan Pie.

  After I added the images I textured it with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. Then added a bit more Crushed Curry ink around the edges. 

  I shared how to make this card step-by-step in the video seen here.   

  The greeting is from a brand new FABULOUS greeting set called So Sincere (from the upcoming Holiday catalog).  It's incredible; you're all going to want it.  It's on a die-cut from a new Autumn Leaves die set.  I added a bit of the Natural Wavy trim to the bottom of the greeting piece.

• Beautiful Earthen Elegance monochromatic card with video!

  August 16, 2023

  ---

  I shared how to make this gorgeous card in a video a few weeks ago.  I liked it so much I decided to feature it at my August card clubs.  

  Save

  I featured the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the Earthen Textures set & dies bundle seen here.  It's all Pretty Peacock and white! 

  Save

  There are a ton of die-cuts on this card; all in white. After stamping the vases I sponged the edges with Pretty Peacock ink. 

  After we stamped one of the images in the set onto the large fan/leaf we folded it on the score lines and sponged ink onto the outer folds. 

  Another details – one one card I textured the DSP and then used a sanding block (or emery board) on the raised surface to show off the texture.  

  Save

  This stamp set is full of beautiful gratitude greetings.

  You can see how this is made in the video here or click on the photo below to see it as well. I also share three other cards too.

• Another way to use the Gorgeous Garden dies in a fun fold card with video tutorial

  August 15, 2023

  ---

  I shared this beautiful card on a recent video.  I sure had fun with the colors on this card!

  Save

  It's a double-decker fun fold card.  It might look hard but it sure isn't!  All you need to add is a simple box between the middle layer and the inside back of the card.  Watch the video here to see how it's done.  

  Save

  Using our Blending Brushes I added the three colors (Tahitian Tide, Brilliant Blue & Gorgeous Grape) to a piece of White cardstock.  I then used the Garden dies to die-cut it out.  I adhered this to the back of the card base before adding the 'box' to create the double-decker fun fold card. 

  I created a second colorful die-cut so I could add extra details to the cards.   

  Supplies:

  • Basic White & Brilliant Blue card stock
  • Vellum Basics specialty paper seen here
  • Inks – Brilliant Blue, Gorgeous Grape & Tahitian Tide
  • Lasting Joy stamp set seen here
  • Gorgeous Garden dies
  • Basic 3D embossing folders seen here
  • Stylish Shapes dies for the circles
  • Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped rectangle
  • Blending Brushes

  Save

  Double-decker card measurements:

  • White card 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”, front textured layer is 1 7/8” X 5 ¼”,
  • White for die-cut 4” X 5 ¼”, Scalloped die-cut 3 1/8” X 4 ½”
  • Box is 3 ½” X 4” – score every ¾”
  • Circle die-cuts – 2 3/4" white & 3" blue 

  Here are both cards shown in the video below.
