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'!

  • A pretty card with the Wonderful World free bundle from Sale-a-Bration

    This is a card I made for an online swap I joined.  I LOVE swapping and getting a bunch of cards back that I didn't have to design! It also gives my customers a variety of cards that might not be my style but could be theirs. 

    I couldn't stop playing with the Wonderful World bundle from Sale-a-Bration! 

    Wonderful World swap Save

    The colors are Mossy Meadow, Starry Sky & Basic White.  I simply added a 1 1/2" X 5 1/2" strip of the pretty Wonderful World designer paper to pull the colors together.  The pattern & colors in the DSP were my inspiration for the card.  

    Here's a photo of the bundle you can earn during our Sale-a-Bration promotion in July & August of 2022.  Any $100 order qualifies you to receive this bundle of designer paper and stamp set!

    I used the Very Best Occasions bundle for the greeting and the additional corner punch detail.

  • Black & White with a POP of color & ALL fun folds for my 2nd July card kit to go; or choose the tutorial only option

    I'm always drawn to Black & White patterned paper because it's such a fun start to creating.  Black & White with a 'pop' of color are usually quite striking, eye-catching cards and these are no exception! 

    Each one is a unique fun fold design with great pops of color too.  

    Perfectly Penciled all Save

    I chose to use the Biggest Wish stamp set for my greetings but you can substitute any set you own.  Or add it on to the kit at an extra 10% off.  

    Here's how it works:

    The pre-cut card kit includes $20 in product and you receive the PDF tutorial free.  It's the best deal. 

    You'll receive 1/2 pkg of the Perfectly Penciled DSP (6" X 12"), a share of the Iridescent Pearls and 1/8" Tahitian Tide ribbon.  You'll have plenty of supplies left to make even more cards!  The kit includes all pre-cut pieces including die-cuts or punched pieces.  It does not include textured embossing. 

    The kit and tutorial include 2 each of 5 card designs. The PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies and step & step directions. I have just a few of these left.  See all of my kits here 

    *Get the pre-cut kit plus tutorial here.  **Choose the PDF tutorial only here. 

    What you need to complete these cards:

    1. A paper trimmer, adhesives & paper snips

    These cards are uniquely special and can be used for many occasions.

  • Get a 2 toned leaf with Watercolor Pencils with the Soft Seedlings stamp set

    Here's another card I shared on this week's FB Live video.  I continued with the same color scheme of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam. Who knew these colors would be so pretty together!? 


    Soft Seedlings 3 Save

    I used the Soft Seedlings stamp set (seen here) from the new Holiday catalog along with the FREE cards & envelopes from our newest Sale-a-Bration line.  

    I inked and stamped the main leaf image in Soft Sea Foam directly onto the Soft Sea Foam card stock.  Then I used a watercolor pencil from the Assortment 2 package to highlight the leaf with the blue/green hue.  Afterwards I blended it with my Wink of Stella pen.
