Celebrate Sunflowers Triple Panel Card with video!

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

Save

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.

• Great sketch to create fast cards with Woven Textures

  On last week's video I shared two more projects made with the Textured Notes bundle which is included in the entire Botanical Textures suite seen here.

  This lovely card features Pecan Pie with Early Espresso. I stamped directly onto the designer paper – a soft linen sheet included in the Woven Textures DSP seen here.

  I die-cut the three rectangles with the new Textured Notes dies which is included in the Textured Notes bundle seen here.  I cannot stop using this bundle!!

  This layout was inspired by this sketch.

  I love using sketches for my inspiration!  Think of them as a starting point.  Noticed I added a greeting layer & linen thread. 

  Save

  Did you catch the texture on the diagonal Early Espresso strip?  That's the new Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here.  I tell you this suite is incredible!  I love every single thing in it!

  Below is the inside view.  Like I said yesterday these leaf stamps are wonderful to play with. Easy, beautiful cards.

  I just love this project I'm sharing today!  Have you ever made a 'Bendy card'?  

  Save

  This card features the beautiful Textured Notes stamp set seen here.  I just love this stamp set!  The leaves are so easy to create with.  And the black & white DSP in the back is called Botanical Textures seen here.  

  Save

  This stamp set is in a bundle with the wonderful Textured Notes dies.  See the bundle here.  

  This Bendy card is super simple to make.  The back is scored in the center plus the center white and the lower black have scored tabs on the side that allows the entire card to bend.  Be sure to check out the video & free project sheet below.

  Below is one of the ways I stamped the back. Watch the video below to see another version.
