Earthen Elegance kit to go or get the PDF tutorial option

I couldn't decide which designer paper to feature for this month's card kit to go. So I did a poll on my Facebook page.  Earthen Elegance won!

Here are the cards I created: 

Save

Three of the five designs are fun fold cards.  It seems like many people like to create these; something you don't get from a store-bought card.  

I used the Earthen Textures stamp set for my greetings and some Earthen Textures dies too.  You can use any greetings you'd like though. If you'd like to add on the Earthen Textures stamp set or bundle, message me here and I will add it on at a 10% savings. 

Pretty Peacock was a featured color in three of the five cards; It pairs beautifully with brown tones and vanilla here.  

The kit includes $20 in product including 1/2 pkg of the Earthen Textures DSP (6" X 12"), a share of the Natural Wavy trim, Neutrals adhesive-backed sequins and 10 vanilla envelopes.  For all that and the pre-cut kit, it's just $28 plus shipping!

If you'd like to get the PDF tutorial click here.  Order the pre-cut kit here by August 20th.

Details on the pre-cut card kit: 

• The pre-cut kit and products are mailed out by the end of the month, barring any back-orders. 
• The kit includes all punched and die-cut pieces; everything is cut except your new designer paper. 
• You will need your own ink, greetings and adhesives.  Plus a paper trimmer to cut your DSP. 
• The PDF tutorial is sent to you immediately via email.
• The tutorial includes step by step directions, photos, measurements and a supplies list.

• Beautiful stamped scenes & video with After the Storm set

  May 27, 2021

  ---

  Since I cannot draw, sketch or paint I stamp.  My husband, Mom, sister and cousin have all painted beautiful scenes and I have many of them hanging in my home.  I think this is why I love creating stamped scenes.  Scene builder sets are some of my favorites; it truly makes me feel like an artist!  I made these cards on a recent FB Live. *video is posted below

  Save

  The After the Storm stamp set (seen here) is France Martin's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set.  It caught my eye right away.  I had a play with it one afternoon and created these cards.

  I'm sharing two today and will give the details on the other two tomorrow.

  You might wonder where I got the hills/mountain image.  Well it's the clouds stamp!  I love finding new ways to use stamps to create something beautiful yet unexpected! 

  The colors here are Fresh Freesia, So Saffron and Garden Green.  I used a direct to paper technique, swiping my ink pad across the White CS for the horizon.  I stamped the clouds using Fresh Freesia ink. 

  I did add just a bit of Pale Papaya ink at the top and swiped my White Craft ink pad across it at the end. 

  For this next card I used a totally different technique with the Blending Brushes.  

  Save

  I used the following inks: Old Olive, Pool party, So Saffron and Calypso Coral. I used Blending Brushes for the Pool Party and So Saffron inks and for the sunset I used a sponge dauber for the Calypso Coral.

  Again I used the large cloud stamp to create the hills. 

  Below is the video for both of these cards & two more!

• You’re a Peach fun fold swap card

  May 26, 2021

  ---

  I actually love to create swap cards.  There's something rewarding about creating multiples of the same cards.  

  How do swaps work?  I know many people are curious….  You create one design and make multiples of it; usually for as many of that card as there are people in the swap.  Swapping saves so much time and you get samples using products you don't have to buy. There are so many benefits of swapping but for most of us, the main reasons are it's fun and to get samples we didn't have to design.  

  I have gals in my Flowerbug's Team that join just so they can swap! Right now the JOIN+ offer is so great I hope you'll consider it if you are not already a Demonstrator.  The value is incredible!  If you have a wish list over $150 you really need to consider this!

  I created the card below for a Flowerbug Team swap this month.  My gals can take part in our monthly swaps if they'd like to.  It's a great opportunity to get a variety of cards to use or share.  

  For this card I used the You're a Peach suite seen here.  It's on pages 60-61 in the Annual catalog. 

  Save

  The card base is Pale Papaya and I added Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Calypso Coral and White accents. The greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.  I layered it with Pale Papaya CS. 

  You might wonder how I achieved the 'blushing' peach image.  I inked the three peaches (all on one stamp) in Pale Papaya and before I stamped I sponged on a bit of Calypso Coral on the outer edges of each. 

  Here's the sequence of stamping the main image:

  1. Stamp the leaves image twice on the White CS using Pear Pizzazz ink.  I stamped off once first. 
  2. Ink and stamp the peaches using the technique mentioned above.  
  3. Add Balmy Blue ink all over using Blending Brushes.  Be sure to use a light hand and start off of the card stock. 

  Here's a look at the inside:

  Measurements: 

  • Pale Papaya card base 5 1/2" square, score at 4 1/4"
  • Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
  • Whisper White – 2 pieces.  Front is 4" X 3", inside is 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"
  • You're a Peach DSP 1" X 5 1/4"

• Beauty of Friendship Fun Fold card

  May 25, 2021

  ---

  Finally I can share this beautiful fun fold card we made at my May Card Clubs!  

  I like to wait until after all of my Clubs are held so I can surprise them with the cards we're making.  I'm not sure why; it's just a habit now after many years of doing it that way!  

  I chose to use the Beauty of Friendship bundle (seen here) to make this unique 'Latch fold'. 

  Save

  I chose to use a few of our new In Colors; So Succulent & Evening Evergreen along with Pool party.  It sure created a pretty, almost monochromatic card.  Everyone sure loved it; which is always my goal!

  Save

  This fold is very deceiving but so simple!  Just a little trick at the end to put it all together.  Watch the video below! 

  Save

  Download the Beauty of Friendship latch fold card project sheet or use these measurements:

  • Pool Party 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 3 1/2" X 3 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" along the 3 1/4" side
    Whisper White 2" X 5 1/4", 2 1/2" X 3 1/4" and 4" X 5 1/4" inside, plus a scrap for die-cut
    Evening Evergreen – scrap for 2 1/4" circle
