Check out this fun & unique way to use up those card stock scraps!

April 7, 2023

Look at this gorgeous card! It's so bright, colorful and just plain fun! I made it on this week's Live video. My theme was to feature Bermuda Bay (a favorite of mine) and some sets of retiring dies I'll miss a lot!

I used the 'Picture This' dies seen here for the multiple circle windows. The White delicate leaves die-cuts are from the Splendid Stems dies; which I thought were still current! Oops!

Isn't it striking? It's almost like a rainbow effect with these bright colors. I adhered 1/4" strips of card stock to another layer of White (under the White window die). It's slightly smaller than the top one. Watch the video here to catch my tips on this technique

I used Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Polished Pink and Berry Burst. The only two colors that will be in the next catalog are Coastal Cabana and Berry Burst! But I know we'll learn to love the new color line too. It's always sad to say goodbye to some of our favorites.

Next I shared a fun card featuring blues/greens and the Layering Diorama dies. They're discounted to $20.30 now.

Save

The other dies used are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here (these were $27 and are now just $10.80).

Save

And the Brilliant Wings dies shown above which include tons of butterflies in both solid and detailed dies that layer perfectly. They were $44 and are now just $17.60. See them here.

Here's how I adhered the strips to the back of the White die-cut piece. I die-cut the Layering Diorama shape first and then added these strips on the back side. It's a super fun way to show off your die-cut shape and use up those scraps you just cannot throw out!

Save

Here are both projects shown together. I hope this inspired you to use up some of those paper scraps you're saving for 'someday'!

Another Boho Medley card

July 3, 2020
Here's another pretty card featuring the Boho Indigo Product Medley on page 9 of the annual catalog. See it here online.

Save

Details:
1. I stamped the greeting from the medley onto a scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Then I added a few die-cuts from the Medley in Misty Moonlight & Granny Apple Green.
2. I colored the rhinestones with a Light Navy blends marker. The designer paper strips are 3" wide by 4 1/2" long and punched with the Banner Triple punch.
3. The Misty Moonlight layer is 3 3/4" X 5" in size. I added a 3/4" X 4 1/4" Granny Apple Green strip of CS across the back.
The Boho Indigo Product Medley comes with a whole bunch of products all in one box including stamps, dies, beautiful designer paper in 6 X 6" size, textured card stock, die-cuts, ribbon and paper/bead flowers. The colors are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Vanilla, White, Garden Green & gold.

If you purchase this Medley in July you'll earn a $5 coupon code to redeem in August. Yay for Bonus Days!!

There's even a refill option (without the stamps, dies & ribbon) but it is on back order until mid July. It includes the papers and the flowers. See that here.

I'll share another project from this product medley Monday!

I decided to use the Rectangular Postage punch for a quick, pretty card. See it here.

Save

The colors are Misty Moonlight, Seaside Spray & White. The Misty Moonlight pieces are textured with the Meadow Moments embossing folder. The greetings are from the Fancy Phrases stamp set seen here. I used the Tailored Tag punch for the front greeting. That delicate flower on the greeting is included in the Product Medley AND the refill for it.

- Seaside Spray 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"

The new Rainbow Glimmer paper is absolutely amazing! Have you seen it yet? Click here.

Save

If you like colors, and I mean sparkly, bright colors you need to get some of this Rainbow glimmer paper! It's on page 153 of the Annual Catalog.

Here I used the Many Medallion dies to cut a full sheet of this pretty paper and adhered it to a Black card. All it needed was a simple greeting (Tasteful Touches set) and bow made with the new Pool Party sheer ribbon!

How about another option?

Save

I used the same strip of this paper for this die-cut; it's just further down on the sheet. So many beautiful colors in gradient hues. The greeting is from the Field of Flowers stamp set.

Here are both cards side by side.

Save

Which do you think highlights this beautiful glimmer paper better; white or black? I was torn so I did one of each.
