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

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.

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

BRILLIANT WINGS DIES 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!

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

  • Two-Tone Flora cards; get two cards with one technique!

    I shared a bunch of projects featuring the Two-Tone Flora bundle seen here on last week's FB Live video.  

    I hadn't played with it at all and couldn't stop once I started!  Here are two cards that may look similar at first, but look closely….

    Two-toned flora colored both Save

    The card on the left has the large, sponged & colored die-cut on the front.  But the card on the right is the colored layer underneath the other.  So cool!  I show how this is done with the small Blending Brushes in the video here.  

    I used three colors for these cards – Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. It also features Very Vanilla which I don't use often enough. I found the small blending brushed worked really well for the detailed areas on the die-cut. You can see these brushes here. 

    Here are both cards with the actual colored die-cut piece on the front.

    I accented it with the Sentimental Park, Stylish Shapes and Amazing Thanks dies. Also a few Brushed Brass Butterflies finished the garden feel of these cards.

    Below are the cards that show off the area under the sponged die-cut.  The colorful sponging reveals the die-cut detail on the Vanilla but the flowers and leaf areas are colored. I love this 2 for 1 technique!  I'm sure you have some dies you could use like this too.

    The dies above include the Painted Label and Circle Collection dies; along with the Two-Tone Floral dies for the leaf.

    I enjoy using two-step stamp sets for the wonderful details and hues of color you can achieve.

  • Beautifully Happy; a perfect set for some quick cards

    I needed a bunch of thank you cards for online orders and quickly made this set of cards: 

    Beautifully Happy good things all Save

    The pretty Beautifully Happy stamp set (Sale-a-Bration and free with a $100 order) is so easy to work with!  It has outline images AND coordinating 'fill in' images that make it super simple to add color where you want it.  And they're Distinktive images too!  This means they give multiple hues of color tones with one stamping.  And I love the greetings too.  

    BEAUTIFULLY HAPPY PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

    I used the Good Things cards & envelopes for these cards. They were available last month for Paper Pumpkin subscribers, but they're sold out now.  I love using coordinating products!  I added a 3" X 5 1/2" piece of Design a Daydream Host DSP to each card.  I think the lattice look works wonderfully with this flower image. 

    Beautifully Happy good things all Save

    The greetings are made with our Double Oval punch; white & Mossy Meadow.  You can see this pretty stamp set here. 

    Remember that if you order $100 this set is free!  And if you use a host code below you'll get a free package of Milky Dots in your thank you card.
