Delicate Dahlias with a 2-toned color technique

August 11, 2021

Here's a card I made for an online swap I participated in. I needed to use an item from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was my first choice of sets.

It has a large dahlia along with a smaller flower image as well. And both are 2-step stamps with outline and solid, dystinktive images to match. It also has two sets of leaves and 4 wonderful greetings as well!

Save

The triple-rectangles frame is a die-cut called Picture This dies. You get 2 dies in the set; a set of rectangles and one of circles. What I love most about these dies is that you can use both; the small stitched pieces OR the large frame! See it here in the online store.

Save

Can you see the multiple hues of colors on these flowers? I inked the large solid dahlia in Pale Papaya ink first. Then with a sponge dauber I added Calypso Coral ink on the outside and the center. Then huff and stamp. Clean between each inking. The small flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut.

Masterfully Made & Wanted to Say quick card ideas with video tips

June 26, 2023

And our annual Stampin' Sale is done! Each June my customers and I host a paper crafting sale – this year we had 30 sellers and we had a fabulous turnout!

Save

That photo was just the stamps for sale; we had so much more! I wish you could be here for it, but I know it is a long way for some to Minot, ND. But if you're near me, plan for the weekend after Father's Day. Make a road trip if you can.
We had one person come from St. Louis and another who was in town visiting from Peru! They were so glad to be here for this annual event.

Last week I shared three card ideas featuring three products: Masterfully Made designer series paper, Wanted to Say dies and Border Basics dies. Here's one of them:

Save

The Masterfully Made designer paper features a torn edge look to a few of the sheets. I chose this one because of it's beautiful colors. I added Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Azure Afternoon in the die-cuts from the Wanted to Say dies. This set of dies has a detailed and a layered die for each set of words in the set, plus a bunch of other dies like the flowers I used here. You can see them here.

Save

The angled border on the White card base is die-cut with the Basic Borders dies seen here. I love these and use them often. You can see them here. I saved the piece I die-cut and used it on another card. Here are both of the cards I made, using two different sheets of the Masterfully Made DSP.

Save

You can see this beautiful designer paper here. It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

As you can see, there is no stamping on the front. But I did add a greeting to the inside:
