Another sample using DSP strips; the pretty Velvet Meadow DSP


I shared a card using a strips technique a few days ago and wanted to share the card that inspired it today.

Here are the products I used: Velvet Meadow DSP, Bubble Bath, Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine CS. The greeting is from the Flowering Meadow stamp set and the scalloped tags are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here.

When using up your strips you can adhere them diagonally across your card stock, leaving a small space between each. Once this CS is filled in, trim off the excess on the edges.

The Velvet Meadow specialty paper has a fuzzy, flocked feel to the flowers and some leaves. It’s luxurious! Check it out here.
I fussy cut the flower and leaves to add to the greeting.

  • Lovely & Sweet card is filled with textures; get the free project sheet or watch the video


    This is one of the cards I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Nature's Sweetness suite.  

    The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge?  that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it.  The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here. 

    Below is a photo of the entire suite of products. 

    If you order this suite you'll earn two free Sale-a-Bration choices!  Or get it and almost $20 more with the Starter Kit deal! 

    Other dies include the Cheerful Daisies for the label and the Deckled Circles behind the flowers/leaves.  I also used the Wink of Stella with Lost Lagoon ink to color the flowers and added a Blooming Pearl to each one.

  • Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!  

    Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video: 

    I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card.  The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper. 

    I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color. 

    More Details:

    • I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture! 
    • Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer.  This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper. 
    • I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

  • Spring Catalog display boards


    I thought I'd share some of my display boards featuring Spring Catalog products.  I've heard back that you enjoy these so here you go…..

    First up is the Hot Air Balloon and Bee My Valentine projects:

    Remember that many of these are swaps and are not made by me. I like to group cards together that use the same stamp set or designer paper. 

    Here is the Hot Air Balloon dies display.  See the Hot Air Balloon bundle here.  

    Next is the Perennial Lavender suite plus the Hills of Tuscany stamp set on the lower left.  

    Here's a close-up of the Perennial Postage dies I put together.  These are fabulous! See them online here. 

    Next is the Nature's Sweetness suite that features two bundles! 

    Below is the die display I created that is part of the Notes of Nature bundle seen here. 

    Below is the Lovely & Sweet dies display; see that bundle here. 


    I featured both of these bundles in a recent video seen here. Everyone loved the projects!
