• Nothing’s Better Than fun fold card with video!

  August 31, 2020

  ---

  We made this CUTE card at my August Card Clubs with the Nothing's Better Than bundle seen here.  

  Save

  It's a triple flap gate-fold card!  It's super easy to make and fun to open too.  Check out the measurements AND the video below. Be sure to read the front AND the inside below. This stamp set is just plain FUN! 

  I chose to use Early Espresso with Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry. To get a lighter hue for the chocolate and cookies images I stamped off the Early Espresso ink first.  Is it just me or do some of these images remind you of the Jetsons cartoon show? 

  Save

  Measurements:

  – Early Espresso 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end

  – Whisper White 1 1/2" X 3 3/4" (3 pieces) plus scraps for added die-cut images

  – Coastal Cabana & Crushed Curry 1 5/8" X 3 7/8" (3 total pieces)

  Save

  The Nothing's Better Than stamp set has a set of dies to coordinate with it; get them both and get 10% off.

• I really did play with the ‘Playing with Patterns’! Check out the video!

  August 28, 2020

  ---

  I had a lot of fun mixing up the patterns in this super cute designer paper on a Facebook Live video.  *See it below. 

  First is a play on triangles. These pieces are just 3/4" wide X 3" long! What a fun way to use your scraps!!

  Save

  Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one.  Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4".  Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.  

  The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set.  See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here. 

  Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet.  Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper! 

  Save

  Which one is your favorite?  The colors are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy. 

  Save

  I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips.   The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.  

  Save

  Get the details on creating these techniques in the video below.

  Remember I host Facebook Live videos 6 times a month!  Each Tuesday at 11 am Central Time and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT.  Check them out here: 

  This video is from a few weeks ago and the card kits mentioned are sold out. The pdf tutorials are still available however. Click here to see them.

• A pretty home decor framed sampler with Life is Beautiful!

  August 27, 2020

  ---

  I made this shadow box home decor piece with my Life is Beautiful stamp set.  It fits in a 12" shadow box frame. 

  Save

  
  

  Here's the Life is Beautiful stamp set I helped design as part of my Million Dollars in sales achievement with Stampin' Up!. You can order it here. 

  Save

  Two tips! 

  • The 'ground' image can also be clouds!  Cool, right?
  • And if you stamp the tree twice, you can achieve a 'thicker' trunk and fuller tree.  Just lower the image on the second stamping.  

  Save

  I did use the Field of Flowers stamp set for the grass, flowers & dragonflies.  I sponged the white card stock with Balmy Blue to remove the 'white' background.  I added Shimmery Crystal Effects on the dragonflies and leaves on the top greeting piece. 

  Colors used: Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Balmy Blue

  Products: In Good Taste Designer Paper, sponges, Linen Thread, Heat embossing in White, Shimmery Crystal Effects, Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins, 2 shades of Brown markers for bird house,
