Create this eye-catching scene with ink and blending brushes; video tutorial too!

June 10, 2025

Here's another card I created on last week's video. Do you love colorful scenes too?

Here I used Cloud Cover cardstock for my base; scored it an extra time to create a flap near the center. This is a great way to add the main element of your card. In this case it's a stamped and colored tree scene on our new Party Banner dies.

I found the Peaceful Pier stamp set seen here to be perfect for my scenes. It's a great line-art set you don't have to color in, as you can see in my example.

I used these inks for blending; from bottom to top – Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Cloud Cover. Blending brushes make it easy to add ink smoothly. But there are tricks to it!

Below is the video tutorial on how to add ink smoothly with Blending Brushes. I hope you watch it!

Pretty is the word for the Hand Penned suite!

May 21, 2021

This is one of the first cards I made with the Hand-Penned suite. I chose to use the Soft Succulent card base with Fresh Freesia and So Saffron accents.

That pretty paper is called Hand-Penned Designer Paper seen here on page 131 of the new Annual catalog. It features so many soft, beautiful colors. People are loving it so much I will likely feature it for a kit to go in June.

I used the Painted Labels dies for the neat circle die-cut and the Fresh Freesia scalloped trim is from the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle. Click here to see the bundle.

The greeting and flower images are from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.

Sweet Ice Cream Fun Fold card with video tutorial

May 19, 2021
We made this special fun fold card at last month's Card Clubs. See how it latches on the punched ice cream piece?

Save

I used the Sweet Ice Cream bundle and the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper seen here. This DSP is retiring in June; if you like it get it now while you can. The cones on this card are punched from the designer paper itself. No need to stamp them when the paper is perfect! The card stock is Cinnamon Cider with Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive.

Save

You can mix & match the designer papers for a nice variety of cards. I used Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz and Cinnamon Cider ink, stamping off first for the solid ice cream images.

The Sweet Ice Cream bundle is available now in the Spring catalog. This set & punch are carrying over into the current Annual catalog but they are no longer a bundle at 10% off. Save $$ and get them now at a discount.

Be sure to watch the video below to see how to make this card.

Here are the measurements for you:
- Cinnamon Cider 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" plus 3 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  White 3 1/4" X 4" and 3 3/4" X 4 1/2"
  Old Olive gift card option 2 3/4" X 3 1/2"
  DSP – top 3 1/4" X 4", bottom 2 1/2" X 4"
