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


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. 

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).  

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. 

Here's the free project sheet with measurements and supplies for you: Download Peaceful View June Club

Below is the video for this card and another where I show you how to add color to the stamp. I'll share details on that project tomorrow.

  • NEW Everyday Details card with a unique Designer Paper layout with video tutorial


    I joined quite a few online card swaps for the new 2024 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs and today's post features one of them. 

    It features the Everyday Details bundle and the Poetic Expressions designer series paper. Both are in the upcoming 2024 Spring Catalog that goes live on January 4th.  The colors include Boho Blue & Misty Moonlight with White. 

    There's a few special details I'd like to point out:

    1. The designer paper triangle is originally a 4" square, cut in half. I added it to a textured layer (4" X 5 1/4")
    2. The dotted circle die-cut is from the Everyday Details bundle; there are a variety of sizes in the set. It is adhered over a White stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 
    3. I stamped the cup image in Misty Moonlight ink. The flower is colored a soft white by using our Craft White ink and a Wink of Stella pen. I shared how to do this in the video here.  You can also use a Blender pen, a water pen or Watercolor Pencils.

    Here's a close-up of this technique. 

    I thought I'd take a photo of all of the swaps before I mailed them out: 

    I hope you'll try this easy but unique card layout!

  • Translucent Florals card made with colored vellum


    I created this pretty card with the Translucent Florals bundle.  I used our vellum card stock and changed it from opaque to Fresh Freesia. 

    It's really easy to do.  Here's how:

    1. I cut a good size piece of vellum from the main sheet and laid it onto my grid paper.
    2. Then I pressed my open ink pad onto the card stock until it was covered.
    3. To smooth the ink out use sponges or a blending brush. Let dry or heat set before die-cutting. 
    4. Die-cut the flowers, leaves and white centers

    Products & measurements:

    • Translucent Floral bundle
    • White card stock – card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score & fold at 4 1/4"
    • Painted Texture embossing folder – white is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • Fresh Freesia card stock 3 7/8" X 4 7/8"
    • Granny Apple Green 4 1/4" X 1" strip 
    • Vellum card stock – a large piece colored with Fresh Freesia ink and a small piece with Granny Apple Green ink
    • Blending Brushes 

    Here's a photo of this pretty bundle. See it here.
