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.

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.

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

• Mountain Air; a gorgeous scene

  March 2, 2020

  ---

  You might know that I love creating scenic cards.  Even though my nickname is 'Flowerbug' that's because I am a gardener; not because I love flowers.  I do!  But when making cards I actually lean towards botanicals or scenes with trees and water.  This card is a perfect example of my 'style' using the Mountain Air bundle seen here.  

  I created it on my Facebook Live two weeks ago.  It's super easy to make!  Here's a link to it on FB.  

  Save

  The colors here are Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and Whisper White.  I did use one of the dies from the Mountain Air bundle; that pretty detailed tree.  I also sponged the mountains and trees a bit then stamped the trees again upside down in White Craft ink for 'water'.  The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set.

  I love this set so much I am featuring it in March. Anyone who purchases the Mountain Air stamp set or bundle from me (past or in March) qualifies to receive the 10 cards project tutorial.  And all online orders (of any amount) will also receive it!

• Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!

  February 28, 2020

  This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects.  Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock. 

  I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy. 

  Save

  Here's how to make this pretty card. 

  1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
  2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree. 
  3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).  
  4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base. 
  5. Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect.  (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
  6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch.  I share it on the video below. 
  7. I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting. 

  Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card. 

   

  The Mountain Air bundle is my special for March.  Everyone who purchases it from me will receive a free 10 cards tutorial!  Past and present orders count!  You can see it here.
