Delicate Botanical Expressions card with video & free project sheet

Before I share today’s card I want to remind you that today is the last day to take advantage of the Designer Paper and Card stock sale. Go here to shop and grab the deals on paper.

Here’s the pretty card I shared last week on video. We made them at my August Card Clubs. Sadly it was the last Club I’ll hold in Minot. Our house has an offer in pending and I’ll have just one last event this Thursday there. My home studio has so many wonderful memories from my friends/customers. It’s hard to say goodbye!

I’m holding my Holiday Catalog open house September 3rd from 3:30-6 pm. If you’re local please come to see me (and the displays, food and deals!)

It features the new Botanical Expressions die (the white leaves die-cut) seen here. It’s a single die that can be used in multiple ways. I especially love the cut lines in the dies.
*Tip: rub waxed paper over the cutting side of your dies every few cuts; it releases the card stock easily then.

Here I adhered it over dark green DSP and added Barely Blush DSP above and below it. There are so many pretty details here!

The floral DSP is called Bloom Boutique Specialty paper and can be seen here. It’s filled with gold foil highlights.

This card is a landscape gatefold card. The Peaceful Pine layer is adhered to only the left side of the card base.
My greetings are from the Scalloped Blooms and Framed Violets sets. The inside flowers are from the Flowering Meadow stamp set.

That pretty scalloped greeting die is also from the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it. It has measurements, supplies, photos and directions.

I also shared the ‘how to’ video below. I hope you watch!

• Create a mountain scene with the In the Grove bundle; video & free project sheet too!

  May 7, 2024

  ---

  I shared this card on last week's Live video. I made a bunch of them for an online swap I participated in.  I just love creating a scene on my cards!  

  

  It features the In the Grove bundle; from the new Annual Catalog.  You can see it here.  

  

  My colors include Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce and the new Shy Shamrock. 

  Tips: I heat embossed the clouds in clear embossing on the White layer; then used a blending brush with Balmy Blue ink over it for the sky. When you do this I recommend wiping off the excess ink with a slightly damp tissue or cloth. That removes the blue ink from the embossed clouds. 

  That pretty mountain image is all one stamp! One color of ink and one stamp. I stamped the green trees multiple times in Shaded Spruce ink, varying the height each time.  

  

  I hope you like it! Be sure to watch the video below to see how quickly it comes together. 

  Here's a free project sheet for this pretty card; it has photos, directions, measurements and products listed.  Download In the Grove Mountain scene

  You can see this card being made on my video below plus another pretty card made with the In the Grove bundle.
