If you just stopped in from Bree's blog I'm sure you enjoyed her projects. She is uber creative!

My first card features the Floating Technique. It gives the illusion that your paper is floating on the card.  

Floating Technique Amazing Thanks Save

I adhered random sizes of card stock strips onto a piece of Window Sheet and used our largest circle in the Layering Circles dies  to die-cut it out.  I've been making monochromatic cards lately and chose my favorite blue/green hues of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Coastal Cabana.

Details:

  • This circle is added with Stampin' Dimensionals onto White CS that's been embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. 
  • The 'Thanks' is made with our Amazing Thanks dies from the January-June catalog. 
  • The 'Friend' greeting was fussy cut from the Special Moments stamp set.
  • Those pretty rhinestones are from a new release coming out in March called the Wave Collection.  Rhinestones in blues & greens!!

I recently made a card with the Hello Ladybug using Magenta Madness with Black and wanted to try it out with Coastal Cabana too. I found out that our new Supple Shimmer specialty paper works great for wings! It's pretty & iridescent.

It's also what I like to call Black & White with a 'pop' of color.  A bit of black on a card makes other colors 'show up' and be noticed. 

This card is an easy fun fold.  Turn any basic card into a fun fold with these measurements: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”
  • White (X 2) 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
  • 3 ¾” X 5” Black

The stamped images are all from the Hello Ladybug stamp set.  It's in a bundle with the punch at 10% off when purchased together.

  • Friends for Life cards; a quick layout you’ll love. Check out the free project sheet & video too

    Today I'm sharing an eye-catching card made with the Friends for Life bundle.  I think they're fabulous if I do say so myself!

    Friends for Life cards Save

    They feature the Friends for Life bundle seen here.  I also used two more favorites – the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder.  *Click on each title to see them in my store. 

    The unique Designer paper is the Full of Life 6 X 6" paper seen here.  I love it so much; it includes bright bursts of colorful patterns filled with watercolor type prints.  *my free tutorial of the month features this suite!  See below. 

    June Club Friends for life. Save

    The measurements are so simple. I cut the 6" DSP down to 5 1/4" X 6" and then cut that into two pieces – one for each card. I then textured it with the Dotted 3D embossing folder and added it to a narrow strip of coordinating card stock on the left side. 

    All that's left is to add the layered circles and friend die-cut. 

    I matched the DSP with coordinating card stock. The card above is Night of Navy and this card below is Shaded Spruce.

    ROUND WE GO BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    As you can see I used many of the fun die-cuts includes as well as a few stamps.  I did heat emboss the greeting with White embossing powder. Heat embossing adds a special touch to cards in my opinion. 

    My colors include the new Summer Splash with Melon Mambo & White.
