Easy Diagonal cards; Stamp With Me tonight at 7:30 pm!

This week I'm highlighting some of the cards I've recently made on Facebook Live.  With two a week there's a lot! 

Here are the cards for tonight's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' here.

I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards.  I love the two toned look of these In Colors together.  When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!  

Join me here tomorrow night.  Prep the pieces, gather some supplies and we'll stamp together! 

I used the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set seen here in Misty Moonlight, White & Seaside Spray.

• More Earthen Textures card ideas

  August 11, 2023

  ---

  Here is another simple but pretty card I made on last week's Live video. 

  Save

  It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle.  Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon.   But they'll be back I'm sure.  You can see them here.  

  I'm not quite ready for fall yet but I do love this color combination of Pecan Pie & Pretty Peacock.  A little touch of gold adds some elegance with the Gold Distressed paper and Festive Pearls.  I added more detail with a stitched edge with the Stitched with Whimsy dies. That notebook die-cut edge is from the Gorgeously Made dies seen here.  

  And here's a very simple version with a similar layout: 

  Save

  I didn't even add any bling or embellishments to this one.  I think it needs something… maybe gold pearls? 

  I stamped the vase in Pecan Pie on Basic White and die-cut it out.  Then added another die-cut of the handles from our Gold Distressed paper. The greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Pretty Peacock card stock. 

  Save

  The nice thing about this layout is you can get 5 card fronts from one 8 1/2" X 11" paper when using my 5 at a time layouts.  See them here on this post. 

  You can see more Earthen Textures cards on the video here.  Don't forget to subscribe to either my FB page here to join in the Live's each Tuesday morning.  Or follow me on YouTube here.

• Alcohol blends technique with video tutorial

  August 10, 2023

  ---

  I shared this fun technique on a recent video; I call it the Alcohol Blends Background.  

  Save

  For the cards above I added pretty floral die-cuts from the Paper Florist dies.  The greetings are from the Kindest Expressions stamp set.  The background colors were made with the following Blends: Left card Mossy Meadow & Lemon Lime Twist. Right card was Berry Burst & Blackberry Bliss.  

  To achieve this cool background you need Blends or alcohol markers and rubbing alcohol in a spritzer bottle. I used regular Basic White card stock and a clear plastic folder to work on. You can watch the video here.  

  I tried many color combinations; you can see some of the finished cards below plus the backgrounds too. 

  Save

  I shared this technique on Monday night's Live and challenge my followers to share a card featuring this technique on my Stamp & Share Facebook group.  Share yours here by August 27th to get in on the door prize drawing.
