My Team held a swap featuring Designer Paper and this is the card I created for it.

This embossing folder is a free gift to anyone who places an online order over $50 in June. *See it here.

I took the easy way out when I stamped my greetings.  Here are the steps for perfect stamping using the Stamparatus:

1. I die-cut a bunch of the White labels (from the Hippo & Friends dies) first. 
2. Then I placed the frame left over from die-cutting on my Stamparatus. 
3. Lay your clean stamp on the label, positioning it in place. 
4. Close the clear plate to 'grab' the stamp. 
5. Ink the stamp and close the plate to stamp. 
6. Repeat!

• Scary Cute ‘side step’ fun fold card by Sharon!

  October 18, 2022

  ---

  Sharon shared this card with us at our last Team Meeting.  It's adorable!!

  Save

  Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black & Granny Apple Green.  

  She said she cased it from Tammy White.  The card base is all one piece.  It's called a side-step card and here is a link to a tutorial I wrote years ago.  She used the Scary Silhouette dies for the left side and the Bewitching stamp set for the hat & boots on the right.  

  The hat & boots are popped up on the steps with thin strips of window sheets.  There is white glimmer paper behind the die-cuts on the front.  I love the say she achieved the silhouette under the Black layer.  She did this by snipping the green die-cut in half on the sides and moving it down from the top and up from the bottom.

  You can see this Scary Cute bundle here.  And it's in stock!

• EASY 5 at a time cards with Leaves of Holly

  October 17, 2022

  ---

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

  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" 

  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.

   
  

  Save

  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! 

  Save

  What do you think?  Are you going to try the 5 at a time templates?

  Click here or on the photo below to watch the video; it really is super easy.

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

  October 14, 2022

  ---

  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? 

  Save

  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. 

  Save

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

  Save

  You can see another group of cards I did on a video I just shared.  It features my 5 at a time templates.
