Encircled in Nature in Autumn colors – free project sheet & video tutorial

I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video. I featured the Encircled in Nature bundle.

My colors include Basic Beige, Cajun Craze and Old Olive.  I used Daffodil Delight, Peach Pie and Calypso Coral for the sunset, adding each color softly with Blending Brushes.

I textured the extra layer (4" X 5 1/4") of Basic Beige with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder seen here. Then I lightly sponged Basic Beige ink over it with a Blending Brush. I added Cajun Craze & Old Olive ink to the die-cut leaves with. 

This pretty bundle is one of our Online Exclusives; available while supplies last.  It's already been out for awhile so I'm wondering how much longer it will be available. *if you want it act fast!

  • Spotlight on Nature unique Z-fold card with video & free project sheet

    I shared this unique & easy fun fold card on last week's Live video.

    It doesn't look like a fun fold card does it?  I featured it at my May Card Clubs.  I love the way the detailed die is popped up on Dimensionals which shows off the die-cut pattern. There's a simply trick to stamp over the die-cut after you cut out the die shape; watch the video to learn how. 

    It features three new In Colors and the Spotlight on Nature bundle. The colors include Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock & Peach Pie. I colored in the butterfly & flowers with Pretty in Pink & Peach Pie blends.  Want to know how to do this?  Watch the video here or below. I love combining two colors like this!

    The Spotlight on Nature bundle is out of stock right now but will be back in a few weeks. It is discounted an extra 10% in June too! See it here.

    I'm calling it a Z-fold because the inside White layer is folded like a 'Z'. It connects the card front and the card base & opens like this:

    This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer.  Very cool and not difficult either.
