At first I thought this card layout might be too simple for my Stamp with Me Live video this week. But the cards turned out wonderful and really highlight your designer paper and greeting!  Join me here on Facebook for 6 Live videos each month! 

These would be great cards to make a bunch of and you'd use up some of your Designer Paper stash too!

I'll share a few of them for you but be sure to watch the video below for tips and more.

• Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video

  March 16, 2023

  ---

  Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets.  Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.  

  Save

  I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners.  This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.  The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all.  I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving. 

  The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog. 

  My measurements are:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
  • White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
  • Black 3 3/4" X 4 3/4" 

  Save

  Below is a photo of the pretty Decorative Borders stamp set.  There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below.  It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too!

  Here's how I finished the inside of the card.

• Love Cats video tutorial with an easy but unique fun fold

  March 15, 2023

  ---

  We made this CUTE card at my February card clubs.  It really shows off the Love Cats stamp set seen here. 

  Save

   

  I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?  

  Save

  In order to get full, solid images I used the Stamparatus for the cats.  It makes a world of difference!  *Catch the tips in the video below.

  Save

  
  

  *Other items used here are the Conversation Bubbles dies, Pastel Adhesive-backed sequins, Balmy Blue variegated ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Sweet Sorbet Blends marker

  Measurements:

  • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½”
  • Sweet Sorbet 8” X 5 ¼” scored at 4”
  • White inside is 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
  • DSP 1 ½” X 5 ¼”

  I used the Happy Labels stamp set for the inside greetings.  It has some fabulous images; see it here.
