Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.

I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

You can see the video for this card and one more below. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!

  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.

• 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.

  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.
