Beautiful Earthen Elegance monochromatic card with video!

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.  

Aug club earthen textures Save

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

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.

This stamp set is full of beautiful gratitude greetings.

  • Best Tips for successful Shaker Cards with video tutorial!

    Who wouldn't like to receive a shaker card?!  They're fun, shakable and hard to resist playing with. 

    Washi tape shaker Save

    I made a bunch of these for our July Team card swap featuring 'window sheets'. I love the fact that I could get multiple, colorful die-cut flowers with the Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape and the coordinating die-cut. Just add it to another piece of cardstock and die-cut. So fast & EASY!

    Notice the sponged green designer paper above. That is the Irresistible Designs 12" DSP seen here.  I added Olive ink to it with a Blending Brush; the printed embossed designs 'resist' the ink.  Pretty cool! 

    I used the Paper Tags stamp set – stamping the greeting directly onto the window sheet with Black Stazon ink. Then I turned it over to add a bit of Flirty Flamingo blends marker on the 'celebrate' part.

  • Another ‘WOW’ card swap with the Beautiful Butterflies stained glass technique

    Today I have another stunning Team card swap made by Tracey featuring Window Sheets. She featured the Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here:

    July Tracey Beautiful Butterflies Save

    Her colors include Shy Shamrock with Petunia Pop, Black, White & Gold embossing. 

    Here's how she made this card:

    1. Texture the White layer with the Hybrid embossing folder; add to the Petunia layer and the card base. 
    2. Ink the butterfly image in Versamark and stamp on the Window sheet. Heat emboss with Gold embossing powder. Die-cut with the coordinating die.  *she did say some of the embossing powder on the edge frayed off when it went through the die-cut.  
    3. Color the back of the butterfly with Blends markers.  Adhere to the White cardstock layer with Foam Strip adhesive in the center only. Add the center 'body' die-cut.
    4. Heat emboss the greeting onto the Black strip with White embossing powder.  Finish with gems. 

    Here's the full bundle that includes stamps, dies and a Hybrid embossing folder. What is a 'Hybrid Embossing folder?  It's where you can cut AND emboss/texture at the same time!

    And look how she finished the inside!  She used the Baby Wipe technique to achieve a multi-colored butterfly.
