Misty Trees Beauty of Friendship card

With each new catalog I always join several card swaps so I have lots of samples to share with my customers.  

Here's one I created featuring the Beauty of Friendship Bundle. 

Beauty of the Earth swap card Save

The colors are the new In Colors of course; Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.  The background stamping is made by stamping the trees several times without reinking. This gives you several hues/generations of ink which creates a misty, grouping of trees.  I love this effect with a 'naked' tree!  It reminds me of my Father-in-Law who loved naked trees.  

Other details:

  • The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a 1" strip of our Vellum card stock.  I immediately heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Classic (or waterbase) ink does not dry quickly on vellum so you get colored, embossing easily. 
  • The vellum was cut long enough to wrap around the outside edge and adhere to the back side.
  • The dark tree was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on White CS and die-cut with the Beautiful Trees dies.

  • 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.

  • Blending tips with this cute Cheers & Sips card; video & free project sheet too!

    Today I'm sharing a pretty & bright color combo for this cheery card using the Cheers & Sips stamp & die bundle. I made it on last week's Live video. 

    Cheers to you Save

    The colors include Peach Pie with Melon Mambo. It's a simple layout but the stamped images sure make it special.  

    The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.  I stamped the images in Black Memento ink and colored them in with our Blends markers.  I love them because you rarely get any lines when coloring.  If you like to color you NEED the Blends markers!  Watch the video to see how to blend easily.  

    I created a free project sheet with measurements & a supplies list. Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Cheers to You card
