Brushed with Beauty card kit to go or PDF tutorial available now
I chose two of our newest online suites for my December card kits & tutorials. Today I’m sharing the Brushed with Beauty cards. Such soft & soothing color combinations in this DSP.
Aren’t they pretty? I love this pretty designer series paper and enjoyed creating these cards. Each is a unique layout and three of the 5 layouts are fun folds. *You’ll need adhesives, greeting images, ink and a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP.
The pre-cut kit includes 1/2 pkg of the Brushed with Beauty DSP, a share of Pearls of Beauty and Vanilla Baker’s Twine. Reserve yours now; I have a limited supply. And I’m ahead of the game and this month’s card kits should be ready to go by next week.
I will share the 2nd kit to go this month tomorrow. But you can see all of my available kits here. Grab more than one to save on shipping costs.

It includes 10 projects with photos, directions. a supply list and measurements for each project. You can see this suite here.
I created a card I want to share with you. I think it’s beautiful!
My colors are Black, White & Gold. I used multiple sheets of the Modern Christmas Designer paper. Notice that some of the trees are raised. I fussy cut a section from the designer paper and added it over a die-cut circle of another set of trees. I layered that onto a Black die-cut circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies. Finally I added one of the new gold hoops around it all. Tip: adhere the gold hoops with tiny dashes of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Works great!

Easy box to gift or store cards in with free project sheet
I’m thrilled to share this fabulous box to gift or store hand made cards in. It starts with a box from our Kit Collection. They’re sturdy and look what you can do with one!
I shared how to make this on last week’s Live video. I know many of you have purchased kits from Stampin’ Up! and hopefully have a few of these saved. The inside organizing sections are made with the thin card board from our designer paper packs. Recycle!
I created a free project sheet so you can replicate this at home. I truly hope you do! Click hereto download or print this project sheet and also watch the video below to see how it’s made and see my tips for success too.
The photo above shows the two sets of cards I made with the Gathering Moments stamp set – 2 sets of colors too! Which do you prefer?
Here’s the other version of the box I shared:
Below is the video where I shared how to make the 5 at a time cards shown in the box and the box itself.
Gorgeous cards with my ‘5 at a time’ templates! Free project sheet, templates & video tutorial
I shared these beautiful cards on last week’s Live video. They were a big hit!
I love making cards with my 5 at a time templates. Making the most of my card stock gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I hope you’ll save these templates and use them in your own crafting.
Below is the template I stamped on; it’s slightly smaller than the one I used for layering. I often use this or the larger one for the neutral layers inside my cards.
Tip: I recommend making your first cut vertically at 4 3/4″. Then cut the left 3 pieces into 3 1/2″ layers. Once you cut all 5 pieces you’ll have one small piece left for a greeting or for punching.
Next is the template for layering the above ‘stamped’ pieces on. It’s just slightly larger – 1/8″ so it’s quite a narrow margin.
The above template has even less waste! It’s so nice to get 5 layered card pieces from 2 sheets of 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock. Please save these templates!!
In the past when I made cards with these templates I stamped before cutting the 5 pieces apart. This was a bit tricky to stamp in the right place. This time I cut my pieces before I stamped on them. *Always start with your greetings!
As you can see I made sure I stamped three pieces landscape and two vertical. This isn’t necessary but it does change your cards up a bit.
I used Cherry Cobbler, Timid Tiger; and Pretty Peacock here. I like adding Pretty Peacock and Cherry Cobbler to my fall cards. The stamp set is called Gathering Moments seen here.
Tip on stamping – always stamp the greeting image first. Then start with the largest image and work your way down to the smallest to fill in any gaps. It’s okay to overlap your images.
As you can see I blended a light wash of Timid Tiger over the stamped leaves. This softens the appearance and truly enhances your stamping.
Here you can see the stamped pieces added to the larger layers from the 2nd template above.
These were made simply with no punches or die-cuts. Sometimes it’s fun to just stamp and create. You can easily add the greetings on another layer (punches or die-cuts) to add more dimension.
I’ll share my second set of cards using this template later this week. And I’ll also show the fabulous card box I made to gift them in!
See how pretty they are once they’re added to the card bases and gems and twine have been added.
