Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played?  We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!  

I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards.  These are mine:

Here are each of them below.  The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand.

I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them.

The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath.  Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

See these pretty cards & envelopes here.

  • Card ideas for the Box & Cards; free project sheet with video tutorial

    I shared this beautiful box with cards on yesterday’s blog post. You’ll see it in the video and project sheet below too. Today I’ll focus on the cards included in the pretty box.

    Save

    The featured products include the Lovely Blossoms suite. This card box can fit up to 6 cards with envelopes inside. It’s super easy to make too! It’s included in the free project sheet seen below.

    For these cards I used the Lovely Arrangements bundle seen here. And the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper seen here.

    Save

    This first card is a fun fold card; quite unique!

    Save

    It doesn’t look much different from the front. The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & White. Here’s a photo of it open:

    The White inside layer has two extra folds in it. There’s a narrow flap adhered to the card front that let’s it open in an unusual way. The measurements are in the free project sheet below.

    This next card is deceptively simple; but I added a simple trick to layering the DSP on the front:

    Save

    The main image is from the Lovely Blossoms DSP. This DSP includes multiple printed elements perfect to make the focus of the card. It’s the printed Olive DSP under it I want to call your attention to. Both pieces measure 3″ X 4″. I cut the Olive DSP in half on the diagonal and added that as a layer to the flower layer. Quick and easy but unique. Instead of the traditional even layers this adds interest to your card.

    Lastly is a card that shows off a special die-cut in the Lovely Arrangements bundle:

    Save

    It’s Petal Pink with Secret Sea and White. That multiple circles die is so cool! It truly adds some playfulness to the card. The greeting is stamped on a circle die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

    Save

    My free project sheet includes these 3 cards plus the template and instructions for the card box as well. Click here to download or print it.

    Below is the video tutorial for the box and tips on assembling the fun fold card at the top. Don’t forget to follow me on my YouTube Channel here or my Facebook Page here.
