Earthen Elegance kit to go or get the PDF tutorial option

August 8, 2023

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.

Clear Block Stamping; a fun & easy background for quick cards!

October 13, 2020
Have you ever tried Block Stamping? If you have a clear block and ink pads you can do this!

I shared these cards on Facebook Live last week Tuesday. You can watch the replay below. Remember every Tuesday morning at 11 am CT I'm Live on FB here.

I chose a few different stamp sets and inks for the cards I made. I also have a few tips for you when doing this technique.

Save

The above card features Soft Seafoam and In The Pines stamp set. The White layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2". I inked the 'H' block in Soft Seafoam ink and spritzed it with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Champagne Shimmer Paint.

You can use water but that takes longer to dry and I wanted a bit of shimmer. Shimmer Paint mixes well with rubbing alcohol. I added random strips of Shaded Spruce CS across the card. Quick & easy!

Save

This card features Calypso Coral (2" X 5 1/2"), Petal Pink and the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set. The textured layer is from the set of Wrapped in Texture embossing folders.

Save

Can you see the marbling effect here? I inked the block in Seaside Spray ink and then added a few swirls of Misty Moonlight with a Stampin' Write marker. *Watch the video below.

I used the Snowflake Wishes set on this card and the Flowers for Every Season ribbon/twine combo pack. The colors are Seaside Spray & Misty Moonlight. The White layer is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and the Misty Moonlight is 3 3/4" square – a scrap I had.

Tips on the Clear Block Technique:
- Use a light color of ink
- Choose a block that fits on your card stock
- Ink it and spritz with either water or rubbing alcohol until it almost starts to puddle.
- Add a swirl of darker color with a marker after inking the block and before spritzing.
- Alcohol dries faster than water
- Add a bit of Shimmer Paint to your alcohol for additionals glitz!
- Whisper White card stock works just fine; no need for thicker papers
