Celebrate Sunflowers Triple Panel Card with video!

June 16, 2020

I made this card on Facebook Live last night on my weekly Monday night 'Stamp with Me'. It's such a fun technique!

I love blues and browns together and chose to use Just Jade, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pool Party with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here). What do you think of this color combination? One of my favorite things about creating is coming up with unique color combos.

I have some great tips on doing this technique.

Start out with three colors of card stock measuring 3 1/2" X 4 1/2".
Cut these into three strips 1 1/2" wide.
Lay them together and adhere a piece of copy paper to the back side to keep them held together while stamping.
Stamp large and small images all over the three colors of card stock with Soft Suede ink. *Always stamp the largest image first!
Or use Designer Series Paper instead of stamps!
Adhere to the Early Espresso layer (4 3/4" X 5"). Then to the full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.

The pool party greeting strips are either 3/4" or 1" wide by about 4" long. I used the new Pick a Punch (seen here) on the ends and added a thin strip (about 1/4") of Early Espresso card stock under it as an accent. I finished it with a double bow made with our Linen Thread.

Over the Moon Fun-Fold card

February 27, 2020
My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month. Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month. They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!

It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.

Isn't it cute? It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here. Aren't they perfect?!!!

Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!

February 26, 2020

These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here.

Save

I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping. After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer. Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card. Easy!

Save

The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape. See the detail on the dies here? Gorgeous!

Save

These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay. I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too. That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.

These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last. Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

This unique die cuts out the center of your paper; not the outside. It gives you a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a frame. That cute greeting banner is also part of the die set.

Details:
- The greeting is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and is heat embossed in White embossing powder on Calypso Coral CS.
- The ribbon is the 1/4" White crinkled ribbon colored with the Dark Pool Party Blends marker.
- The flowers and stems are colored with Blends markers; they color so easily!
- That pretty designer paper behind the window is the Follow Your Art paper in the annual catalog on page 165.
