Desert Details WOW card

I spent time playing with the Delicate Desert suite and this is what I came up with: 

Save

I LOVE how it turned out!  I really wanted to use the Dry Brushed specialty paper along with the Desert Details bundle seen here.  The dies in it are so cool! 

Save

The two large rectangles and dies for the stamped flowers are just a few of the dies included.  

Save

My colors include Petal Pink & Soft Succulent. I cut two of the open leaf dies from the center of the Dry Brushed large shape, leaving the outer frame intact. No one but me knows there are empty spaces under the White layer! 

You can see the Dry Brushed metallic specialty paper here.  It's simply stunning!  

Save

There are two of each sheet in this package of 12" metallic paper for $8. 

Save

I added a few of the Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed sequins on this card too.  They're also part of the Delicate Desert suite seen here.  

Save

I hope you enjoyed this project; it came together so easily.

• Two striking ‘WOW’ cards with Paper Strips!

  April 5, 2021

  ---

  This week I'm sharing the cards I made on last week's Facebook Live video.  If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well. 

  I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them. 

  Save

  This is one of my most favorites of all of the cards I made with my paper strips.  I find the colors stunning together!  

  Save

  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Bumblebee & Daffodil Delight.  The 1/4" strips are simply adhered to the 4 1/4" X 11" card front and the excess is trimmed off afterwards. 

  These unique flowers are made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here. Each flower has 4 layers.  

  The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays set; seen here.  

  ~~~

  Next is another striking card using the same colorful strips added horizontally this time. 

  Save

  The pretty leafy die-cut is from the Christmas Layers dies seen here. They're on sale for $17.40 (was $29) now while supplies last!  the greeting is from the Simply Succulent set seen here.

  Save

  Below is the video with 10 unique and amazing cards all made with leftover paper strips!

• Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card

  April 2, 2021

  ---

  Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is. 

  We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting.  What are your traditions for Easter?   

  I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.  

  Save

  On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out.  I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!  

  Other products used here:

  • Word Wishes dies
  • Layering Oval dies (So very sad these are retiring!) 
  • Friendly Silhouettes dies (Greenery; retiring & on sale $19.20)
  • Tasteful Textile 3D folder

• A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea

  April 1, 2021

  ---

  The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

  Save

  One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

  Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

  The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.
