Soft Seedlings with the new Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes


On yesterday's FB Live I shared 3 cards featuring the new Soft Seedlings stamp set.  The first two featured the new FREE Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes too.  

These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes are a free choice from our new Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  I love SAB when we can all get something free with our orders!  Spend a minimum of $50 and pick something absolutely free!  

These cards & envelopes are one of my top picks in the catalog. You can use them for lots of cards in the future! 

The package includes 20 envelopes and 10 each of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card bases.  Today's project features the Soft Sea Foam card base. 

You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned look of the leaf. I stamped it first in Soft Sea Foam and removed a bit of the ink on the edges with a sponge dauber.  Then I added Pool Party ink to those same areas. Huff and stamp!   Watch the video here to see how it's done. 

There is a vellum leaf on the stamped leaf for both texture and shimmer.  I sponged the punched leaf (Bough punch), sponged a bit of color and curled the leaves.  Lastly I added Wink of Stella to both leaves for a pretty shimmer effect.  

I trimmed off 1" along the bottom edge of the card base and adhered it to the inside. 

Then I cut a white scalloped edge using the Contour Scalloped dies.  I textured the 1 1/4" Pool Party card stock strip with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here.  I LOVE this folder!  I attached the embossed layer to the scalloped White trim and then adhered to the card front.

The 'hello' is stamped on a die-cut from the Tea Cup dies and added over two bows; one with Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and another with White twine.  

Click on the video below to watch how it's made along with two other cards using this stamp set.

  • Neat Double Decker pop-up card with measurements


    Today I'm sharing a new pop-up fold – at least it's new to me!  It's called a Double Decker pop up. 

    Measurements: 

    • White card base 8 ½” X 5 ½” scored at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”
    • White inside pop-up box – 3 ½” square scored at ¾”, 1 ½”, 2 ¼” and 3”
    • Front textured piece 1 7/8” X 5 ¼”
    • Scalloped White inside die-cut is 3 1/8” X 4 ½”
    • Fresh Freesia is 2 ¾” X 3 ¾”
    • Designer Paper – 2 pieces per card; 2 ½” X 3 ½” & 4” X 5 ¼”

    This card was included in my Masterfully Made card kit this month.  I still have 4 to go kits left. Or choose the PDF tutorial.  See them both here

    The pre-cut card kit includes $20 in products including a half pack of this pretty paper, 2 colors of twine and a share of sparkly sequins. 

    This unique designer paper is filled with beautiful florals and prints; some with a torn edge look. See it here.  

    The inside 'box' that pops up the scalloped rectangle layer is adhered to both the side and back of the card.  It folds flat when mailing but sure adds nice dimension when the card is opened.  

    I plan to share this card fold on a future live video soon.  Follow me here on Facebook or here on my YouTube channel.  

    Here are all 10 cards included in the kit.  You do need ink and greeting stamps to finish them.

  • One Horse Open Sleigh Spanner fun fold card


    I was surprised to see the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper back in stock.  It was unavailable last week but it's back now.  I featured it in one of my July card kits to go.  See it here online.

    This designer paper is so pretty; it's filled with beautiful scenes and soft prints. 

    It's called a spanner card because of it's unique fold – the horizontal layer spans the card from side to side.  

    I added a few die-cut trees on the right side.  I colored them with Blends markers – adding brown and Gray Granite to the white. The greeting is from the Lasting Joy stamp set. 

    The Gray Granite card base is a simple 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  Then you cut up to the score line at the 1 1/4" mark on front; on both sides. 

    I added designer paper to the center panel and also to both side panels.  The horizontal piece 'spans' under the to side panels like this: 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4".  Cut up to the score line at 1 1/4". 
    • Horizontal layer 5 1/2" X 1"
    • Designer paper 2 3/4" X 4" and two pieces 1" X 4" for the sides. 

    This card was included in both my PDF tutorial and the pre-cut card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold.  I have just two kits left.  You can see them both here along with other kits and tutorials.

  • Check out these projects featuring Clearance Rack deals


    There are quite a few amazing deals on the Clearance Rack now and I thought I'd highlight a few of my favorites:  

    First is the beautiful Splendid Thoughts stamp set for just $16 and the coordinating Splendid Stem dies for just $8.25. I shared these projects last year: 


    I am surprised that the stamp set and dies are both there along with the pretty Soft Seafoam ribbon and the Open Leaf Trinkets. *Both are now just $1.25! Click on the blue highlighted words to see these items in the Clearance Rack.

    Next is the Leaves of Holly stamp set.  It was $22 and is now just $15.25 on clearance. 

    I created these beautiful Christmas cards on a video last year.  

    I call it the 5 at a time technique.  You stamp one sheet of neutral paper and then cut it into 5 pieces using my template below.  And the neat thing is the layers under the stamped White card stock are also cut using a template. Just 2 sheets of card stock to make 5 card fronts!  *Watch the video below or click here. 


    See how I stamped down the center of the White card stock on the photo above?  Next I cut it using the template below: 

    The first template is what you stamp on.  The one below is for the layers under the stamped pieces. It's just 1/8" larger for a nice thin layered accent.  

    Next is the template for the colored layers on each stamped layer.  


    Watch the video below to see how it's done.  Think about your favorite stamp sets and how fast you can create beautiful cards using these templates!
