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. 

Measurements:

  • Black 5 ½” X 8 ½” score at 1 ½” and 4 ¼”
  • Designer Paper – 5 1/2" X 6". Cut in order from left to right so the pattern matches making sure the 6" side is along the top.  2 ¾” X 5 ¼”, 1 1/8” X 5 ¼”, 2 1/8” X 5 ¼”. Plus the last piece on the right is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
  • White inside 2 3/4" X 3 1/2", die-cut is 2" X 3 3/4"
  • Black strip 1" X 2 3/4"

  • Quick card Ever Eden designer paper strips; just a few days left!


    On my last Monday's FB Live I shared these pretty cards; they feature the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. Click here to watch the video. 

    The greeting and butterflies are from upcoming catalogs in January.  The stamp is called Friendly Hello and the butterflies are little, bitty brass adhesive-backed gems. There is one more new items on this card; it's a punch called the Bough punch. Above it's in Soft Succulent shimmer vellum & Metallic card stock.  It punches both! 

    This pretty paper is a special promotion.  You won't find it in any catalog and it's retiring on January 3rd. It's available while supplies last. The colors are gorgeous together – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Gold & White.  See it here. 

    I shared another version of this strip technique here.  Totally different! 

    Tips: 

    • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
    • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
    • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
    • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
    • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
    • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
    • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

    Here's the video with details:

  • Geometric fun with an Ombre’ effect; video tutorial too!


    I've been sharing ideas & techniques featuring the Plenty of Patterns masks from a recent FB Live video. 

    Today it's an Ombre' effect created with a grid mask, 4 colors of ink and Blending Brushes. 

    The colors I used are from top to bottom: Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. I used our Blending Brushes to achieve this smooth blended look.  See them here. I love them; they're so worth investing in.  And the nice thing is that the ink can be rinsed out to use them in any color next time. 

    I used the grid mask in the set of 4 seen below & here. 

    I'm sure you noticed the hexagonal greeting die-cuts.  This is part of a new die-cut set called Beautiful Shapes dies coming out in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  And the Adhesive-Backed Hexagons coordinate wonderfully.  These embellishments come in a package of three colors – Black, Blushing Bride & Just Jade. 

    I added a zig-zag of ribbon behind my greeting image; see my easy method in the video.  

    Below is the video with these projects & lots more!

  • Fun with Plenty of Pattern masks with techniques & video too


    I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend!  We sure did. The kids come home for Christmas from other cities in North Dakota and we have some fun traditions like an appetizer showdown, presents, lots & lots of games & yummy food.  My kids are still here so the fun continues another day yet!

    Here is another card idea with the Plenty of Pattern masks I shared on last week's FB Live here. 

    This card features an ombre' effect on Vellum card stock using the Plenty of Patterns masks and a new bundle from the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog

    For the ombre' effect I used Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana inks along with Blending Brushes. You can see how it's done on the video here.  


    I kept is super simple otherwise.  I layered the sponged vellum on a piece of White CS and added a greeting and leaf die-cut. 


    You can see the Plenty of Pattern masks I used here.  They are so fun to play with; especially if you like sponging or techniques. 

    The neat leaf die-cut is in the Artfully Layered bundle in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog as well as the greeting. 

    Below is the video with these projects & lots more!
