What is a ‘Live Edge’ card? Check it out and the video tutorial too
You may have heard of 'Live Edge' tables; but have you ever heard of a 'live edge' card? Well that's what I'm calling this technique!
I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base. I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!
The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results. See the set here.
Here's how I stamped the inside:
Products used:
Happiest Day stamp set
Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP
I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper. I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them.
Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!
Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look
On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product. It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here.Here's one of the cards I made:
I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal. See it here. The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies.
Here's how I stamped the inside.
For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).
The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here.
I did not make a project sheet for this card since it's so simple.
Here are the measurements:
White card base – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", White deckled rectangle die-cut 2 5/8" X 3 7/8", circle die-cut1 5/8"
Black – 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
Glimmer paper strips – 5 1/4" X 3/8"
Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with a special edge technique and a few other ideas as well.
