Delicate Botanical Expressions card with video & free project sheet


Before I share today’s card I want to remind you that today is the last day to take advantage of the Designer Paper and Card stock sale. Go here to shop and grab the deals on paper.

Here’s the pretty card I shared last week on video. We made them at my August Card Clubs. Sadly it was the last Club I’ll hold in Minot. Our house has an offer in pending and I’ll have just one last event this Thursday there. My home studio has so many wonderful memories from my friends/customers. It’s hard to say goodbye!

I’m holding my Holiday Catalog open house September 3rd from 3:30-6 pm. If you’re local please come to see me (and the displays, food and deals!)

It features the new Botanical Expressions die (the white leaves die-cut) seen here. It’s a single die that can be used in multiple ways. I especially love the cut lines in the dies.
*Tip: rub waxed paper over the cutting side of your dies every few cuts; it releases the card stock easily then.

Here I adhered it over dark green DSP and added Barely Blush DSP above and below it. There are so many pretty details here!

The floral DSP is called Bloom Boutique Specialty paper and can be seen here. It’s filled with gold foil highlights.

This card is a landscape gatefold card. The Peaceful Pine layer is adhered to only the left side of the card base.
My greetings are from the Scalloped Blooms and Framed Violets sets. The inside flowers are from the Flowering Meadow stamp set.

That pretty scalloped greeting die is also from the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.


I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it. It has measurements, supplies, photos and directions.

I also shared the ‘how to’ video below. I hope you watch!

  • Another cute card with the Happy Place stamp set with free project sheet!


    I shared one card yesterday and here’s one more. Both are fun ways to add color to this neat stamp.

    You can see this neat stamp set here. I love it and see lots of possibilities; especially for scrapbooking!

    I chose the Full of Life designer paper for my background here; adding texture with the Waves 3D embossing folder. My colors include Pool Party, Black with Peach & Melon Mambo. I colored the large image in with Watercolor Pencils which I hadn’t used for a long time!

    I decided to try a different blue for the left card above – Cloud Cover. The right is Pool Party. Which do you prefer?

    I have a free project sheet for you and a video tutorial as well. Click Happy Place with Full of Life DSP on this link for the project sheet you can print or download. I suggest you save these project sheets in a file on your computer for card ideas.

    The video is below: It includes more ideas for this fun stamp set too!

  • A fun way to add color to the Happy Place stamp with video tutorial


    I shared how to add color to the large ‘Happy’ from the Happy Place stamp set on last week’s Live video. What do you think?

    We made this cute card at my September card clubs. The colors include Lost Lagoon, Calypso Coral & White. You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned inking on the Happy image. I used inks – Lost Lagoon for the water and Calypso Coral for the sky. For this sample I used large ink pads. But for my Clubs we used smaller ink spots. It was a lot easier this way!

    You might also wonder where I got the rectangle Perennial Postage die shape. I had to die-cut a larger rectangle twice to get this size. It was pretty easy and I share how in the video below.

    We textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Wave 3D embossing folder and the curvy leaf dies are from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I love them! The inside greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

    It’s an easy fold that shows off the inside of the card and the designer paper we added. This DSP is the Subtles 6″ designer paper which has some great patterns.

    I really enjoyed playing with this fun stamp set. I’ll share another project from the video tomorrow. See the Happy Place set here.

    I created a free project sheet for you with measurements, photos, directions and a supply list with links. Click on this link to print or download it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you’re there!
