Delicate Dahlias with a 2-toned color technique


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!  

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. 

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.

  • Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video


    We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

    I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

    I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

    This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

    My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

    I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

    More details:

    • I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
    • We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
    • The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
    • The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

    I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.

  • A new fun fold card with the Nature Walk suite; wow!


    Karen’s swap card blows me away! I haven’t seen a card fold like this one before and I just love her color choices too.

    Isn’t it beautiful?! Can you tell that the front, main layers are ‘caught’ on the diagonal textured layer on the lower left? That’s what is keeping the flap tucked in.
    This is how it opens:

    Her colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & Basic White. I’ll share measurements below.
    Did you catch the pretty textured layer? That’s the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. And did you notice the ‘wood look’ die-cut in Olive near the greeting? That and the greeting are included the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.

    She used the Nature Walk suite for her card which includes gorgeous nature focused products. See it all here.

    Here’s how she finished the inside of her card:

    Measurements as follows:

    -card base 7″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
    -White 7″ X 5″ scored at 3 3/4″. Make a mark on the shorter end at 1″ from the top and the bottom. Trim off the rectangle to the score line for the front flap
    -Secret Sea front is 3″ square, side is 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, the diagonal piece is 2 1/2″ X 2 3/4″ cut in half and inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″
    -DSP front is 2 3/4″ square, side is 2 1/4″ X 5″

    Thank you for creating and sharing this amazing card with us Karen!

  • 2 pretty Nature Walk card swaps


    Today I’m sharing two pretty swap cards made by my talented Team.

    Ginny made this first card with the Nature Walk designer paper and the Nature’s Symphony bundle.

    This card sure makes the DSP shine!

    Joan made this card with the Nature Walk designer paper, the Addressed to You and Prayers & Promises stamp sets.

    She fussy cut the main oval image which is from the Addressed to You set seen here. The greeting is from the wonderful Prayers & Promises set seen here.

    Thanks for the pretty cards gals!
