Gorgeous Garden dies & Blending Brushes; wow!


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


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. 

I made these cards on a recent video seen here.  Or click on the photo below to watch.

  • Unique fun fold card with the new Regal Winter suite – free project sheet & video too


    I shared the neatest fun fold card on last week's video.  It features the upcoming new suite called Regal Winter from the Holiday Catalog.  This catalog goes live on Wednesday, September 4th. 

    My colors were inspired by the beautiful Regal Winter designer series paper. Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss & White. 

    It looks like a normal card front doesn't it?  It's not!  The right side has a fold to it and the edge is tucked under the diagonal layer. 

    Isn't that neat?  And it's super easy to make too, but to understand it you may have to watch the video below. Or click here to see it.  

    Here's the view of the inside once opened.  That center Blackberry Layer is attached to only the left side. The DSP strip is centered on it and helps you center the whole piece between the two outer flaps.  It's easy; watch the video! 

    **I'll be sharing two more pretty cards featuring this new suite on Tuesday's FB Live video (Sept 3rd). If you're on Facebook I hope you're following me.  If not find me here. 


    I created a free project sheet for you; click on the following link to download or print it.  Download Regal Flora Diagonal Latch card

    Below is the video for this card and another neat idea with the Full of Life DSP. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you're there.  I post a new video each week!

  • Incredible Seagull fun fold card with measurements!


    Lori made this adorable card for our August card swap.  

    It looks like a normal card front doesn't it. But wait!  It opens up like this:

    Isn't that neat?  The side flaps sneak under the front panel. 

    She chose the use the Lily Pond Lane designer paper for her card.  It's actually on sale right now – but the sale on our Designer Papers end tomorrow!  See all of the papers on sale here. 

    She added a white layer in the back for signing. It needed to be able to fold for the card to work so there's a crease in the center. 

    She used the Charming Duck Pond stamp set for her images & greetings. It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base – 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" score at 2 1/4", 4" and 6 1/4" – the widest flap is on the left and right sice when the 2 pieces are sitting next to each other. 
    • 4 1/4" X 4 1/4" front. Glue onto the middle of the folded pieces to hold them together. 
    • White – 4" square for back of card
    • DSP 4 X 4" front, 2 at 1 1/2" X 4" inner panels & 2 at 2" X 4" outer panels 

    Thank you for the measurements Lori!  Here's an view of this neat card from above. 

    I hope to make one of these cards on a video soon.
