Gorgeous Garden dies & Blending Brushes; wow!

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

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.

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

  September 13, 2022

  I previously shared some of the incredible projects Annette made here and here  She was our Artist of the Month in August; as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  She chose to use the Bewitching bundle seen here. 

  First is a card that reminds you of  'candy corn'.

  Details:

  • She used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry & White CS – texturing them with the Timeworn Type 3D folder.  
  • The scalloped square is from the Scalloped Contours dies. She colored in the hat & boots with Blends markers.  
  • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 
  • The glittery hat band is the new Glitter Washi tape seen here

  Next is a fun card made with Parakeet Party, Black & White.

  Black & White with a 'pop' of color can be so striking!  The circles are from the Layering circles dies; the stitched background is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies.  She added a band of glitter paper on the hat – from the 2022-24 In Color 6" Glimmer paper.

  And lastly today is another Black & White with a pop of color – this time with Real Red.

  Details:

  • Painted Texture is the embossing folder used on the White panel. 
  • The Black & White DSP is from the Black & White Designers DSP in the Holiday catalog
  • She colored the hat with Blends markers and popped it up with dimensionals.

• Bewitching Teepee Fun Fold card!

  September 12, 2022

  ---

  I've shared lots of amazing projects Annette made with the Bewitching bundle here . She was our Artist of the Month in August as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  She used the Bewitching bundle seen here. 

  Today is a fun fold card called a Teepee card.  It looks difficult to make but it's sure not!  In fact her card inspired me to make one myself.  You can see the video here.  

  She used the Tea Boutique designer paper and the Stylish Shapes & Layering Circles dies for the circles.

  Save

  Creating this unique fun fold card starts with three squares measuring 4".  You'll score each one in half on the diagonal.  The designer paper is two 3 3/4" squares that you cut in half diagonally.  Watch the video here or scroll down below to see how it's done.

  This card is held closed with a small bit of Velcro.  The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set seen here.  It folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard A2 size envelope.
