• Happy 4th of July – Fun Dots & Spots card

  July 4, 2022

  ---

  Happy 4th of July!  

  

  This fun card is made with a two new products from the Annual Catalog.  The Dots & Spots die seen here and Alphabest Bundle seen here.  The stars are die-cuts from the Give it a Whirl dies seen here. (also from the Annual Catalog)

  This cute punch bundle is so easy to say what you want on your projects; punching makes it fast!  Think about the birthday cards you could personalize! 

  

  I also added a new trim from the 2022 Holiday catalog called 3/16th Iridescent Trim.

  Download the Dots & Spots project sheet for this card with measurements & step by step directions.

  On this week's Live video I shared 3 pretty projects featuring the new Splendid Thoughts bundle from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  Here's the first one: 

  

  The colors include Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, White and Calypso Coral with a few Copper elements too.  

  I stamped the background on the Petal Pink card base using one of the leaf images in Petal Pink ink. The textured White adds a soft background to the many leaf die-cuts. 

  

  Can you spot the main difference between these two cards? 

  

  I used one of the dies in the Splendid Stems dies for the greeting piece on the right card. Which do you prefer?  

  And here's my favorite card I shared in the video.  I cased the idea from my friend Lorri Heiling.  It's so simple but super special with the foil stitched squares and die-cut leaf.  There's something extra special about this leaf die-cut. Can you tell what it is?  

  

  It's hard to see in the photo but the entire leaf is on dimensionals.  What?!  Yes!  I adhered a piece of White card stock to our Foam Adhesive Sheets seen here and then die-cut it all at once.  So not the entire leaf is popped up.  So cool and easily noticed in person.  

  
  

  The card above is made with a copper colored foil piece and the one below is in Fresh Freesia.  I also added an extra textured layer to the card base. 

  
  

  The greetings are from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set on a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.  A thin strip of Fresh Freesia CS under the greeting pulls it all together.  

  Click on the photo below to watch the video. You'll see all 3 projects with the Splendid Thoughts bundle.

• Splendid Day cards with an easy background technique; video too.

  June 30, 2022

  Check out this pretty card using the Splendid Thoughts bundle.  I shared how to make it in a recent Live video seen here.  

  

  I think the Brick background is so pretty with the die-cuts.  I used the 'Direct to Paper' technique.  I used the Brick Wall embossing folder on the Calypso Coral CS and then used an open White Craft ink pad to lightly brush ink onto the textured CS.  I purposely keep my White Craft ink less inked than desired because I love doing this!  If yours is well inked you may want to use a sponge instead.  

  

  The colors include White, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink.  The Splendid Day Specialty designer paper is gorgeous and full of Foil & Copper accents on one side and subtle prints on the other.  Here's what the entire suite looks like.  It will be available tomorrow, July 1st.

  

  You can get a share of this beautiful paper in my new Holiday Catalog paper share.  Reserve yours here now! 

  
  

  I stamped a few of the die-cuts and the greeting in Smoky Slate ink.  I fussy cut the greeting and added it to the curved 'half circle' die-cut over the ribbon.  I'll share more Splendid Thoughts projects tomorrow.
