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.

• How to add color to the Peaceful View stamp – video tutorial too!

  July 8, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's live video.  Both featured the amazing and beautiful Peaceful View stamp set seen here.  

  Save

  I used Balmy Blue, Pecan Pie and White card stock.  Inks include Balmy blue, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie. I used a Blending Brush with Balmy Blue ink to lightly color the sky before stamping. 

  Notice the fence. If you look closely you'll see the woodgrain in the fence. This was done by using an Early Espresso Stampin' Write marker to add to the stamped fence directly on the cardstock. It was mostly Pecan Pie colored before.  

  How did I color the image?  I inked the trees with Old Olive ink first using the direct to stamp method. The I used Pecan Pie on the grass and fence.  I used a sponge dauber to remove ink from the plants on the bottom so I could add Green ink to them with a sponge dauber.  I used Pecan Pie ink and a sponge dauber to add color to the trunk as well.  I hope you'll watch the video below to watch this in action.

  For the greetings I stamped the More Messages stamp a few times and used the coordinating die to cut them all out.  I had lots to choose from this way and can save them to use whenever I need it. Here I added Balmy Blue ink lightly to color the greeting.

  What I love about this new messages bundle is that the greetings and die-cuts are such a nice size; larger than ever before. See the bundle here.

• Beautiful Peaceful View card the easy way with video & free project sheet

  July 7, 2025

  ---

  For my June card clubs I knew I wanted to feature the Peaceful View stamp set.  This gorgeous stamp makes it easy to create a stunning card with.  I've asked for this type of stamp for years and finally got one!

  Could you ask for a more perfect background for this image?  Where did it come from?  It's a piece of designer series paper – from the Thoughtful Journey 6" X 6" DSP seen here.   It's absolutely the perfect choice and much easier than creating a coloreful background with ink. 

  Save

  The majority of the papers work well for this stamp so my club members could pick their favorite. 

  We inked the tree scene with Secret Sea ink and stamped on the designer paper.  It's then adhered to a full 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Balmy Blue CS before it's added to the front flap of the card base (front is folded back once).  

  Save

  For the greetings I stamped the More Messages stamp a few times and used the coordinating die to cut them all out.  I had tons of greetings for them to choose from.  They then layered them onto another Balmy Blue strip or die-cut. 

  What I love about this latest messages bundle is that the greetings and die-cuts are larger than ever before. See the bundle here.
