  • Shabby Chic Lovely & Sweet card with video tutorial & free project sheet!


    Here's the last card made in last week's video featuring the Nature's Sweetness suite. I absolutely love this color palette! 

    It's Pecan Pie with Pebbled Path & Gold accents with a rich monotone look. Look closely at the layout. It's basically a few random layers with only one that's layered.  Adding a few smaller elements creates the balance here. 

    Details & tips:

    • Note the distressed edges on a few of the layers. That is done by rubbing your open scissor blade over the edge of the paper.  Fast and fabulous results! *watch how I do it in the video below.
    • The large stamped Pecan Pie layer and the DSP square are both sponged with Pecan Pie ink to age them a bit. 
    • That butterfly is one of our Paper Butterfly Accents colored with a Light Natural Tones blends marker. I added some Gold Enamel Effects in streaks all over it. *see how in the video
    • I added Gold Enamel Effects as berries on the tall leaf die-cut on the left. 

    Here's how I stamped the inside.  The greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from Sale-a-Bration. 

    Here's a picture of the Lovely & Sweet bundle I used here. See it online here.

  • 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.
