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!

• Fun Fold card with two versions!

  October 6, 2020

  ---

  Saturday was World Card Making Day!  Did you make time to stamp?  First; did you even know about it?  

  We had a few stamping events on my Flowerbug's Team group and Mystery Stamping was one of them.  I sent them measurements so they could prep for the card making event but they didn't have a photo of the card!  Just measurements and supplies.  Use any Designer Paper, etc…..  It was fun to see what they all made.  

  Below are the two fun fold cards I made.

  The front of the card is cut short to reveal the Designer paper on the left (inside) of the card.  Above I used the Snowflake Splendor designer paper and the Snowflake Wishes stamp set & dies bundle.  This designer paper is on sale right now at 15% off.  See all of the papers on sale here: 

  Next is a card made with the Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper and the Beautiful Autumn stamp & punch bundle.  You can see the measurements for these cards below.

• Trio of Celebrate Sunflowers cards with video & an easy highlighting technique!

  October 2, 2020

  ---

  Look at these gorgeous sunflower cards!  They were a big hit at my Card Clubs this month.  They could chose between Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral ink for their sunflower.

  We sponged each sunflower leaving the center without color except for a bit of Crumb Cake Blends marker.  I know it might not be realistic but I like the pop of White in the center for brightness. 

  Check out the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle here.

  Then we used White Craft ink and Blender pens to highlight a few petals here and there on the sunflowers.  It's super easy! I created a video below so you can see how it's done.
