Gorgeous Garden dies & Blending Brushes; wow!

Check out this beautiful card made with the Gorgeous Garden dies!  

Garden Wishes leaves Lasting Joy Save

I think it's stunning.  Don't you love the pretty blending of the greens? I simply added one color to the finished die-cut.  I cut it out from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added Pretty Peacock ink with a blending brush in a few areas.  Easy!  

I was surprised that the finished color (after adding Pretty Peacock to Lemon Lime Twist) was close to Shaded Spruce.  Who knew?!  So I added a 1/4" strip to the left edge of the card to bring in that color and also stamped the greetings in Shaded Spruce too.  

Tip: Adding your colors in two or more ways to your project gives them a cohesive look. For example if I use green card stock I will add a layer of green or a stamped image. If you struggle with choosing color combinations stick with just two colors.  Or better yet try a monochromatic card – add one color to a neutral like white, browns or black.

I used the Lasting Joy set for my greetings.  I really love this set with the mixed fonts; I find I use it often.

I added a stitched circle to the left side to anchor the greeting.  Both of these dies are from the Stylish Shapes dies; they're a must have! See them here.  

Here are the Gorgeous Garden dies.

    Today's project is from last week's Live video seen here. 

    Labeled with Love fun fold Save

    This neat fun fold card features the Lily Pond Lane designer series paper and the Labeled with Love punch bundle seen here. 

    The stamp set is available in a bundle with either a punch or a set of dies.  Love that they have these options to please us all.  

    Labeled with Love Lily Save

    My colors include Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Pretty Peacock which I got from the Lily Pond Lane DSP seen here.  I still have a few card kits to go with this adorable designer paper. See them here; while supplies last.

    The card layout includes a quarter sheet on the base and a scored/folded 11" X 4 1/4" piece over it.  A few White & DSP layers and that's it!  It's quite simple.  I did fussy cut the butterflies I added to the right panel.

  • Team swaps with the Unbounded Love bundle & more

    Here are a few more of our June Team card swaps.  I shared quite a few last week as well. Our theme was to use a new color along with an old favorite.  

    Lori made this card with Summer Splash and Berry Burst with White. 

    June Lori Unbounded Beauty Save

    She added the Unbounded Beauty designer paper, the Deckled Rectangle dies and a Paper Butterfly Accent too.  It's also a fun fold card!

    It's a Dutch Door fun fold.  Making a Dutch Door fold is so simple.  To a full quarter card base you'll add a second layer that opens from the side. Her horizontal layer is 8 1/2" X 2 3/4" scored at 4 1/4". 

    June Lori Unbounded Beauty Save

    I like that you cannot see the inside greeting layer until you open the card. The greetings are from the Unbounded Love bundle.

    Next is a monochromatic card made by Rita. She also used the Unbounded Love bundle.  

    June Rita In Color Save

    Her colors include Peach Pie, Black and White. The DSP is the 2024-26 In Color 6 X 6" pack. She added embossed texture to the background.  I especially like how she added that pretty leaf die-cut frame over her stamped greeting.  A fabulous idea where you don't have to cut the greeting layer to match the die-cut exactly.

    Lastly is a fun celebratory card made by Joan. 

    June Joan Celebration Save

    She featured the 'Light the Sky' stamp set seen here online.  I love her colors of Summer Splash with Real Red, Black & White.
