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.

  • EASY 5 at a time cards with Leaves of Holly

    I created a set of gorgeous Christmas cards on last week's FB Live video using my two templates.  

    Leaves of Holly cards 5 Save

    I used the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here and these colors – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler.  My Soft Succulent card bases are either 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" or 4 1/4" X 11".  

    I did use a few images from Merriest Moments stamp set as well.  

    Here is the main template that you stamp on.  It shows the cutting measurements that give you 5 pieces for your card fronts.  I frequently use these measurements for the inside of cards; especially when I make a bunch at a time.  Instead of just 4 layers you get 5 from one piece of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock. 

    Each piece measures 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

    5 in one cutting template Save

    In the photo below I stamped on the Basic White card stock (shown on the right) and then cut that into 5 pieces using the template above.  I stamped down the center mostly, leaving open areas in each section so I could stamp a greeting.  If it didn't work out (or I just want to), I add a die-cut or punched greeting. 

    To see how I did this the link for the video is here.

    Here's the other template for the colored layer under the stamped White piece.  In my case it's Cherry Cobbler. Each piece measures 4 7/8" X 3 5/8" giving you a narrow edge, but all 5 from one sheet with very little waste!  Love that!

  • The Gorgeous Leaves of Holly bundle is not just for Christmas!

    The Leaves of Holly bundle is back!  It was unavailable for awhile but it's back in stock now.  

    I made this pretty card for last month's Flowerbug's Team swap.  The theme was Fall or Halloween.  I wanted to show that this bundle isn't just for Christmas.  What do you think?

    I used Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss and a bit of Old Olive here.  The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments set seen here.  

    After I stamped the card panel I felt it was a bit busy so I added a layer of Vellum card stock over it.  I love the soft feel that the vellum gives!  

    Here's a peek at the Leaves of Holly bundle. It's full of pretty images and wonderful dies.  The greeting die-cut with the leaves attached is my very favorite; see it on the bottom left below. See it in my store here.

    For added texture I added sponging around the edge and on the die-cut leaves.
