Today I'm sharing a few card swaps made by gals in a long distance swap.
First is a card made by Selene Kempton. She is someone I've recently become friends with and I cannot say enough about her huge heart and fun personality.
I love her color choices of Petal Pink with Crumb Cake, White & Early Espresso. Cute layout too! Her cards are often among my favorites. The textured background is made with the Dashing Designs embossing folder seen here.
She used the Marbled Elegance specialty DSP for the background and as a layer under her main image.
You can find this adorable Perfect Pairs stamp set here. It's in our online exclusives but that just means it's not seen in any printed catalog. Anyone can order these items!
Here's another sample seen online in the SU store. Did you know that when you're looking at our product you can find multiple ideas from their samples?
The easy way to make a ‘Fractured’ card! Video tutorial & free project sheet!
You may have seen these cards online lately; they're quite popular. It looked s bit intimidating to me; I thought I'd have to do a lot of measuring to get the pieces to fit exactly.
Well my team member Karen shared how to make them at our August Team meeting and I was surprised to learn it's quite easy peasy! So I had to share the fractured card on a recent Live video so YOU could see how fun & quick it is.
I chose to use the Hello, Irresistible designer paper and the Irresistible Blooms stamp set; both Online Exclusives. See all of our products available online here. There are so many they have their own category!
This card starts out with a full 4" X 5 1/4" layer of designer paper. The center squares and strips are added on directly over the designer paper! No measuring needed!!
My center squares are approximately 2" in size and are from the Stylish Shapes dies – the middle die of the 5 square dies. I chose to add a 2 1/4" layer under my square.
Tip: Once you adhere your square to the upper center (eyeballing, no measuring needed) you will start adding your 1/4" X 5" strips of card stock. You start at the upper center. Leave the excess strips hanging off the card until you're done; then just trim off. *watch the video below to see my helpful tips for success.
Here are both cards I shared in the video; one in Pretty Peacock and the other in Petal Pink.
Which do you prefer? One is soft and pretty and the other is vibrant. I like the 1/4" strips to match the card base; I feel it gives a greater sense of continuity.
I kept these cards quite simple but you could certainly add more to it.
I shared this super unique fun fold card on last week's Live video. If you're on Facebook please follow me herefor my weekly Tuesday morning videos. If not, you can always follow my YouTube channel here.
As you can see it looks a bit tricky… but with my step by step tutorial it's not! I do have a PDF project sheet for it but even with the written instructions I the video posted below will help a lot.
These are our Vanilla notecards & envelopes. They're in the annual catalog and you can see them here online. They're perfect for quick thank you cards or an addition to a gift.
Here are the steps to creating the sunflowers. I shared tips in the video below:
