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! 

Save

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.

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.

• Look at this! Ornate Borders wow!

  April 13, 2020

  ---

  This is one of the cards I made for everyone who orders the Ornate Thanks bundle (or the Ornate Garden Suite) from me this month. 

  I used THREE of the Ornate Border dies for this card! 

  Save

  It's Blueberry Bushel with White accents.  I will sure miss this color!  It will be retiring in just 9 days!  Be sure to get any of the 5 retiring in colors while you can. Once the list comes out on April 22nd they go very fast.

  Isn't that border die amazing?  And so simple too. The Blueberry Bushel card starts out as usual at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  Then I used the detailed floral border die on the lower edge. *save a few of the leaves for the flower accent in the corner. 

  I used the dotted border die on the lower edge of the White card stock.  Stamp your greetings and add the ribbon and bow. 

  Next cut out the third detailed floral die-cut from a strip of White card stock.  Trim off just a little section of the flowers to add to the upper left corner; with a few of the extra leaves from the lower edge die-cut. 

  Save

  Adding a White layer inside the card for stamping and/or writing your message highlights the gorgeous floral trim on the front.  

  This is just one of the FREE 3 cards you'll receive from me when you purchase either the Ornate Thanks bundle OR the entire Ornate Garden Suite from me this month.  See it all here in my online store.

  And remember that all online orders over $55 in April will receive a free Simple Shammy from me too! Details below.

• Welcome Easter; three adorable card swaps!

  April 10, 2020

  ---

  I received these cards in a long distance swap I participated in.  Unfortunately their labels came off so I don't know who made two of them so I cannot give credit.  So if you know of if it's yours please let me know!

  They're so adorable I just had to share them with you! You can see this stamp set here:

  I love this peek-a-boo bunny here!  Yes; it's fussy cut.  There aren't dies for it.  She used Highland Heather and our Subtles designer paper.  I really like how she die-cut a circle from the square, flipped it over to reveal the reverse side of the designer paper. Very cool!  See all of our packages of 6 X 6" designer paper here.

  That thin strip of Best Dressed designer paper adds a spring-like touch to it!  The sequins are from our Adhesive Backed package.

  I know Karen Titus made this one. I just love her water-coloring!  Adding that bit of light gray or tan with a Blends marker adds so much depth!  

  The White is 2 5/8" stitched square from the Stitched Shapes dies.  The other colors are Seaside Spray, Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Soft Seafoam and are 1 3/4" square.  This layout really highlights the main image. 

  Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
