A Stunning fall card with Gorgeous Garden; with a video tutorial and free project sheet!


Check out this fabulous, colorful autumn card we made at my September card clubs!  

We added fall colors to the die-cut using Blending brushes. 

This die-cut is in the Gorgeous Garden dies seen here.  This is the leaves die and there is also a floral option as shown below. 

**Check out these other projects featuring these dies – here and here.

If you're interested in these dies now is a great time to purchase them.  Add on another item or two and you'll qualify to receive a Mystery Box from me!  *see details below

The card base is Vanilla as well as the die-cut.  Ink colors include: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat.

We started with the two darkest colors – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive, adding a few splotches of color leaving many open areas for the remaining two colors. I prefer to add the lightest color of Wild Wheat last, so it can fill in any open areas without covering up the previous colors. 

Watch the video here or scroll down to see it below.  

The stamps & leaf die-cuts are from the Autumn Leaves bundle seen here.  It's a big favorite of mine this season.  

The die-cut is almost the entire card front except for a thin edge. I added a strip of Cherry Cobbler to the left side. The greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tags die-cut. The leaves are from both foil and Oxidized Copper papers.  *The Oxidized Copper paper is back in stock!

Below is the video tutorial for this card; and another autumn-themed fun fold card as well.

  • Two striking ‘WOW’ cards with Paper Strips!


    This week I'm sharing the cards I made on last week's Facebook Live video.  If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well. 

    I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them. 

    This is one of my most favorites of all of the cards I made with my paper strips.  I find the colors stunning together!  

    The colors are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Bumblebee & Daffodil Delight.  The 1/4" strips are simply adhered to the 4 1/4" X 11" card front and the excess is trimmed off afterwards. 

    These unique flowers are made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here. Each flower has 4 layers.  

    The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays set; seen here.  

    ~~~

    Next is another striking card using the same colorful strips added horizontally this time. 

    The pretty leafy die-cut is from the Christmas Layers dies seen here. They're on sale for $17.40 (was $29) now while supplies last!  the greeting is from the Simply Succulent set seen here.

    Below is the video with 10 unique and amazing cards all made with leftover paper strips!

  • Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card


    Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is. 

    We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting.  What are your traditions for Easter?   

    I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.  

    On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out.  I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!

  • A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea


    The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

    One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

    Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

    The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.  

    Are you a Paper Pumpkin subscriber?  If not you can be!  Sign up to achieve them every month here.

    Did you know that you can pick & choose your kits?  Subscribers receive an email BEFORE the kits is mailed giving you a chance to opt out if the kit doesn't appeal to you.  Or you can add on to receive a second kit.  You're in charge! 

    The April kit is called 'So Cool' with a 'treats' theme. Opt in to get it by April 10th! 

    • The So Cool Paper Pumpkin Kit is a little taste of summer fun, with enough supplies to make 12 colorful, shaped cards with coordinating envelopes. Six card bases are popsicle shaped, the other six are semicircles: three watermelons and three rainbows. All of the cards are splashed with cheerful, vivid watercolor images. The kit also includes two full-size, matching sticker sheets, die-cut accents, fun embellishments, and more.
    • Even though the So Cool Kit was designed with kids in mind, these fun-shaped cards, featuring vivid watercolors, are versatile enough to gift to kids of all ages—the young in years and the young at heart. They’re a great way to send some “sunshine in a card!” Who wouldn’t love that?
