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.  

Soft Seedlings 5 Save

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! 

POOL PARTY & SOFT SEA FOAM CARDS & ENVELOPES Save

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.

    On this week's Live video I shared 3 pretty projects featuring the new Splendid Thoughts bundle from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  Here's the first one: 

    Splendid Thoughts Petal Pink Save

    The colors include Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, White and Calypso Coral with a few Copper elements too.  

    I stamped the background on the Petal Pink card base using one of the leaf images in Petal Pink ink. The textured White adds a soft background to the many leaf die-cuts.

    Can you spot the main difference between these two cards? 

    Splendid Thoughts Petal Pink Save

    I used one of the dies in the Splendid Stems dies for the greeting piece on the right card. Which do you prefer?  

    And here's my favorite card I shared in the video.  I cased the idea from my friend Lorri Heiling.  It's so simple but super special with the foil stitched squares and die-cut leaf.  There's something extra special about this leaf die-cut. Can you tell what it is?  

    Splendid Thoughts foil Save

    It's hard to see in the photo but the entire leaf is on dimensionals.  What?!  Yes!  I adhered a piece of White card stock to our Foam Adhesive Sheets seen here and then die-cut it all at once.  So not the entire leaf is popped up.  So cool and easily noticed in person.

    The card above is made with a copper colored foil piece and the one below is in Fresh Freesia.  I also added an extra textured layer to the card base.

    The greetings are from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set on a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.  A thin strip of Fresh Freesia CS under the greeting pulls it all together.

  • Splendid Day cards with an easy background technique; video too.

    Check out this pretty card using the Splendid Thoughts bundle.  I shared how to make it in a recent Live video seen here.  

    Splendid Thoughts brick . Save

    I think the Brick background is so pretty with the die-cuts.  I used the 'Direct to Paper' technique.  I used the Brick Wall embossing folder on the Calypso Coral CS and then used an open White Craft ink pad to lightly brush ink onto the textured CS.  I purposely keep my White Craft ink less inked than desired because I love doing this!  If yours is well inked you may want to use a sponge instead.

    The colors include White, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink.  The Splendid Day Specialty designer paper is gorgeous and full of Foil & Copper accents on one side and subtle prints on the other.  Here's what the entire suite looks like.  It will be available tomorrow, July 1st.

    I stamped a few of the die-cuts and the greeting in Smoky Slate ink.  I fussy cut the greeting and added it to the curved 'half circle' die-cut over the ribbon.  I'll share more Splendid Thoughts projects tomorrow.
