Dainty Flowers cards with time saving tips!


I made this pretty card in just a few minutes with 1/8 of a 12 X 12" piece of the Dainty Flowers designer paper.  That means you can get 8 cards from each sheet! 

I made the first cut across at 5 1/2".  Then cut each piece at 3" wide.  This gorgeous print is just one of many in this pack.  It's free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion from January 5th – February 28th.  See it here. 

   

If you don't have the ribbon color you want, color it with a Blends marker.  Our Blends markers come in a 2-pack of light and dark; try both to see which one fits your needs.  And did you know that if you go over it more than once you can get a darker shade?  This works on both paper AND ribbon! 

If you're making multiples of the same card AND heat embossing why not stamp & heat emboss multiples at the same time?  

I inked the greetings (from Dainty Delight) in Versamark ink and stamped on the Old Olive CS. Then covered in White embossing powder before heat embossing with the Heat Tool.  Now I could trim them into strips for my cards.  

Tip; you cannot do an entire page at once or the ink dries before you can get powder on it.  I did 4-5 at a time and it works fine.  It all depends on how fast you can cover it with powder.  

**Before stamping I swiped my card stock with the embossing buddy. This is an anti-static bag that prevents excess powder from sticking where you don't want it.  The embossing buddy is included in our Embossing Additions Tool Kit seen here.

  • Clearance Rack refresh & Autumn Expressions with Splendid Autumn DSP


    The Clearance Rack has lots of new items at fabulous, discounted prices  check it out here! 


    Don’t wait, theses items won’t last long!

    Today I'm sharing a really neat fall themed card swap made by Lori. It's so pretty!

    She used the Autumn Expressions bundle seen here.  It has the neatest double frame die plus the chain, pretty leaves and more. 

    She used the gorgeous Splendid Autumn DSP for her textured background and also for the scene inside the hanging frame. This DSP is unavailable right now; it should be back sometime this week.  You can see it here. 

    Don't you love the foil frame and hanging chain?!  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
    • Crushed Curry 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Textured DSP 3 3/4" X 5" 
    • Vanilla inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 

    Can you see how the frame lifts up?  It reveals the back of the DSP on top and the stamped greeting inside. 

    I love the pretty greetings in this set.  And below you can also see the dies that are included. The frame folds on the scored hinge but you can use it alone too. 

    Here's the inside view.  Her colors include Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Vanilla & copper from the Textured Metallic specialty paper seen here. 

    Next is another pretty card made by Marla. She also used the Splendid Autumn Designer paper for this fun fold card. 

    One 6" X 5 1/4" DSP piece is cut into 3 pieces to create this neat card.  

    Measurements: She scored her 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" Cajun Craze card base as follows: 2 1/8" and 2 1/4". The DSP and Vanilla layers are all 2" X 5 1/4".  The best thing about these scenic cards is how the scene continues as you open the card. So be sure to cut and adhere the pieces in order.  

    The greeting is from Thoughtful Journey; the leaf images are from You are Beautiful & maybe Irresistible Blooms.

  • Casing my friend with Caring Leaves & video


    Last week I was out of town to see my son get married in the beautiful Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming.  

    The photographer was incredible; I have to share some of her early shots with you.  It was a quick trip but we were blessed to be there for the small ceremony. We had a wonderful time driving through the stunning park with the photographer scouting out photo opportunities.  We're thrilled to add Katrina to our family!

    Today I'm sharing the swap card I made for our Team card swap this month:

    My colors include Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Beige & Very Vanilla.  Peacock is one of my favorite 'outside the box' colors for autumn projects. 

    Two of my favorite types of stamps are 2-step and Distinktive and this set is both!  It's a sweet & simple set & it's just $17. See it here. 

    When I was planning my card for the swap I came across the card on the left below.  It's one my friend Susie Wood made awhile ago. I loved the layout and cased it using the Caring Leaves set. 

    Casing a favorite card or layout is my go to when designing a new project. It's fun to switch up colors and products while using the same design. 

    I created a video that's posted below.  I stamped the outline leaves on the large Pretty Peacock layer before embossing it with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. I also stamped an extra leaf to fussy cut and add under the tag.  See the measurements below.

    Measurements:

    • Basic Beige 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
    • Pretty Peacock 2 3/4" X 5 1/2", 2 3/4" X 4 
    • Pumpkin Pie 2 1/2" X 3 3/4", 4 1/4" X 1" strip
    • Very Vanilla 2 1/4" X 3 1/2" plus tag die-cut

    Below is the video I shared along with card swaps from my Team.

  • Playful Ghosts card swaps; check them out!


    Here are a few more Halloween card swaps, most featuring the Playful Ghosts stamp set. 

    Joan made this cute card with bright fall colors.

    Her colors include Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler. She added tons of leaves from the Changing Leaves dies. The embossing folder is the Leaf Fall 3D seen here. 

    Check out the Playful Ghosts stamp set here.  It's filled with cute & playful images. 

    She offered a 2nd option of a fall themed card for us at the shoebox swap.

    The greeting is from the Autumn Expressions stamp set.  I love how she created two themes using the same colors & layout!  

    Lastly today is Rita's cute card also featuring the Playful Ghosts set. 

    She stamped the images in Black and colored in with Blends markers. The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. 

    I'll share more fall themed card swaps next week.  Have a great weekend!
