Gorgeous ways to add color to the Quiet Reflection stamp; with video & free project sheet

April 10, 2024

Today I'm sharing one of the projects I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Quiet Reflection stamp set and ways you can add color to the solid image.

Save

You can see this stamp set online here. It's not retiring; it will return in the new Annual Catalog. It's a beautiful sympathy set.

I chose to use Starry Sky with Shaded Spruce. The dies are the Thoughtful Expressions dies and sadly they are already out of stock; they were on the retiring list and they've sold out.

Notice the two toned image here. This one is simply a matter of inking in Blue and stamping. Then ink a sponge dauber in green ink and dab over the stamped image. So easy!

I do have a free project sheet with the directions, measurements & supplies list. See it here. Download Quiet Reflection 2-toned

In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image. I'll share the card on the right below tomorrow.

Have you seen the clever Happy Houseplants kit?!

April 19, 2024

One of our most unique kits lately is the Happy Houseplant kit. It includes 4 frames with everything you need to create adorable home decor!

Save

It's in our Kit Collection seen here and is all inclusive. That means it includes everything you need to create the 4 pieces of framed art all for just $25. They're 7" square when finished.

Save

I think they're perfect to place in a hall, bathroom or a guest room. Maybe near a real plant as a coordinating accent.

A few tips on putting these together. The clear acrylic cover sheet has adhesive on both sides for protection. Remove them before assembling.

Save

See how 3D they are? I used a bone folder to curl the plants a bit. The kit comes with Dimensionals for adding an elevated look.

Save

Because the pre-cut plant layers are meant to be popped up for a 3D look I added foam adhesive strips seen here to the edges of my frame after I added the clear acrylic sheet. *don't look too close; I added the adhesive strips to the frame edges before I added the clear sheet and had to remove them!

Save

I love the plants & pots this kit creates. What a beautiful set of home decor art!

This kit would make a fabulous gift for someone who has a new home and needs art, someone who likes to craft but not collect, or someone who is redecorating.

Sending Love Artist of the Month – party 2

April 17, 2024
Here are the second set of Sending Love cards by our Artist of the Month – Donna. See the first batch here.

First up today is a fabulous fun fold card.

Save

I often forget to cut apart my sentiment like this. It sure adds a playful note!

The cute grass and mailbox die-cuts are all from the Sending Love bundle seen here. The stamp set & dies are returning in the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

Save

It starts out as a vertical card with this cute mailbox scene. But when you open it…… you get a horizontal card!

Save

I only opened the upper flap in the photo above. You can see how it turns from a vertical card to a landscape card. Here's what it looks like fully opened. I love that you can read the greetings either way!

Save

Measurements:
- Balmy Blue card stock – 2 pieces at 10 1/4" X 4 1/4". Score each in at 4 3/4". Then mark at 4" and score from that mark to the outside corner. The two pieces are adhered together in the center (under the large white layer)
- White – inside is 5 1/4" X 4", side triangles started out at 3 3/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal.
~~~

Next is a sweet pocket card. Don't you love her beautiful sponging?!

Save

This card has a hidden pocket between the layers. See that little envelope sticking out?

Save

Measurements:
- Moody Mauve – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- Sponged Postage die-cut 3 5/8" X 5"
- Inside White 2 7/8" X 4 1/8"
- Bubble Bath 3" X 4 1/4"
~~~

Lastly is this adorable hello card with the cutest envelopes on front! These are also included in the Sending Love dies.

Save

She also used the Deckled Circle dies and the Lighter Than Air designer paper (retiring). The envelopes match the DSP – Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly & Calypso Coral.

Thanks so much for creating and sharing these amazing cards with us Donna!!
