Fault Line technique with Layered Thoughts – video & free project sheet too

I shared this neat technique on last week’s Live video.  It’s called the ‘Fault Line’ technique. 

Save

The Fault Line technique is where you layer torn papers together.  Here I used the Full of Life designer paper with Bubble Bath and Berry Burst.  The greeting is stamped on another sheet of this designer paper and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I fussy cut it and popped it up between the fault lines.

As you can see in the photo above I did my greetings two says.  The top right is done by heat embossing the greeting with White embossing powder.  The lower left is with clear embossing powder. 

Here’s the free project sheet if you’d like to print if off or download it.  Download Layered Thoughts Fault Line card

Watch the video below to see how this is done.  It’s so easy!

• A gorgeous scene made with Wooded Acres; on the Last Chance List

  July 3, 2025

  ---

  I was playing around with the Wooded Acres stamp set and made a pretty scene by adding a blended background.

  You may know I love creating pretty scenes with my stamps, ink and blending brushes. 

  Here are the steps:

  1. I stamped this image on a long post-it note and fussy cut the area above the ground off.  I stamped it on my White CS and then added the post-it note to mask the sky. 
  2. Now I added Garden Green ink with a Blending Brush for grass. 
  3. I removed the post it and replaced it with the other half to sponge the sky. I used Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue. 
  4. I layered it with Black and White card stock. 
  5. I then stamped the same image on the Balmy Blue card base to extend the trees.  

  What do you think?  

  This stamp set is now on sale on the Last Chance List. You can see the stamp set here.

• Double Flap fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

  July 2, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing the second card I made on last week's video.  It's a double flap fold card featuring the Sunrise Sailing bundle.

  The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight.  

  I created a mask for the sun with a 1 7/8" circle punched from a post-it note. I used blending brushes & Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight inks. I also added just a hint of Strawberry Slush ink on the bottom of the cloud die-cuts. 

  The Designer Paper is our new 6 X 6" In Color designer paper seen here.  

  I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here.  I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle.  They're wonderful and really spark creativity. There are THREE different size sailboats in the dies!  

  As you can see in the sample in the photo below you can make a card with just the embossing folder!

  You can see in the photo below how the front square flap lifts to the right to reveal a peek at the inside. I added the cloud to the back of this square and placed it so it could 'latch' on the larger cloud to hold the card closed.

  I create a free project sheet for this card. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here .       Download Sunrise Sailing Latch card

  You can see the card fully opened below.  I love this easy but fun card fold.
