Check out these Just Kiddin’ Suite cards by our Artist of the Month!

Today I'm sharing multiple cards made by Marla – our February Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team.  She chose to feature the Just Kiddin' suite seen here.

Save

This card was cased from Lisa Curcio and is called a 3 tiered easel card.  It's a neat fun fold card.   

Save

The front two panels are folded down in the photo above so you can see the back panel of the 3 tiers. Very clever!  

Save

She used one of the scenes in the DSP for her background and added the girl, ball, pennants, stool and greeting!

Save

This is a mini slimline card. I believe she stamped the pillows but the rest are cut from the DSP or die-cut with the dies in the bundle. 

Save

Here she added the kids, a greeting and the 'block' castle to the Just Kiddin' DSP scene. 

Save

ON the card above she scored the back of her card base in half (2 3/4") and added the scene and the greeting strip in front with extra scored ends that create a curved element. That pretty purple glimmer paper is from our Online Exclusives.  So cool! 

Save

This scene is made with the dies in the Just Kiddin' bundle seen here and of course the little girl (fussy cut) from the DSP. 

Save

Adding the kids with Dimensionals completes the scene. I love how she let the Just Kiddin' DSP do the work of the background!

Save

This gatefold card opens up to reveal a full scene! Don't yo love the little baby peeking out!?

The greeting is on one layer and the kits are on another layer; both have a double score line that makes them pop up slightly. 

Save

 

Didn't she do an incredible job showcasing the Just Kiddin' suite?!  Great job Marla!!

  This is one of the cards I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Nature's Sweetness suite.

  The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge?  that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it.  The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here. 

  Below is a photo of the entire suite of products.

  Other dies include the Cheerful Daisies for the label and the Deckled Circles behind the flowers/leaves.  I also used the Wink of Stella with Lost Lagoon ink to color the flowers and added a Blooming Pearl to each one.

• Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  January 29, 2024

  ---

  I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!  

  Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video: 

  Save

  I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card.  The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper. 

  I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color. 

  Save

  More Details:

  • I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture! 
  • Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer.  This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper. 
  • I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

  I thought I'd share some of my display boards featuring Spring Catalog products.  I've heard back that you enjoy these so here you go…..

  First up is the Hot Air Balloon and Bee My Valentine projects:

  Remember that many of these are swaps and are not made by me. I like to group cards together that use the same stamp set or designer paper. 

  Here is the Hot Air Balloon dies display.  See the Hot Air Balloon bundle here.

  Next is the Perennial Lavender suite plus the Hills of Tuscany stamp set on the lower left.  

  Save

  Here's a close-up of the Perennial Postage dies I put together.  These are fabulous! See them online here. 

  Save

  Next is the Nature's Sweetness suite that features two bundles!
