Gorgeously Made with a neat background technique & video tutorial

I shared this card as part of my Tuesday Live video last week.  I was featuring the Gorgeously Made bundle.  Check out the background!

I focused on creating a pretty, textured background under the main image. Here are the steps:

  1. I first stamped the foliage image with Boho Blue ink onto Boho Blue card stock.
  2. Next I textured it with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. (It's one of my favorite folders.)
  3. Lastly I dragged my White Craft ink pad over the texture. Tip: use a very light touch or ensure your ink pad is a little bit dry. I LOVE the look of this so much!

I used the same foliage image for the inside of the card as I did the pretty background, stamping once in full strength Boho Blue ink and stamping again without reinking.

I stamped the other large leafy image from the Gorgeously Made set on the Countryside Corners white die-cut. I added the print image a few times in second generation Boho Blue ink (this means stamped off once). It's layered on a Navy die-cut before adding to the card base.

The greeting is heat embossed on Navy using White embossing powder. The die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies – my go-to dies for greetings. 

There's just something special about a monochromatic card; this time in blues.  If you're going for an elegant or cohesive look try using just one color in varying hues.  Greens, blues and browns are some of my favorite choices.

    Aren't they pretty?!  I feel like these two Sale-a-Bration choices go together perfectly.  The Ombre DSP lets the stamp shine though.  You can get either or both free with an order through February 28th.  Sale-a-Bration ends then and there won't be anymore 'free' with purchase options.

  • Beautiful Love You Always Foil Specialty paper

    Last weekend we held our monthly card swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  The theme was to use Specialty paper on their card.  

    The cards I'm sharing today all feature the Love You Always Specialty Foil papers.  Did you know we have two kinds?  A smooth foil seen here and printed foil seen here.  

    This first card was created by Karen G.  She used both specialty papers with the Always in My Heart bundle. The Floral Heart dies are gorgeous!  I love the heart and that banner!!!

    This next beauty was created by Candace. She also used both of these pretty specialty papers along with the 'Love You More Than' dies.  The embossing folder is the Parisian Flourish 3D seen here.

    And lastly, this striking card was made by Mary.  She combined the Love You Always paper with the True Love DSP.

    She fussy cut the flowers from the True Love DSP and colored them with Blends markers.  The Best Wishes is from the Art Gallery bundle. 

    Aren't my gals talented though!

  • Creative Cards Simple Sketch #CC2

    Get inspired by sketches!  You can find them everywhere online; especially on Pinterest.  Just search for card sketches and you'll be amazed at the great layouts you'll come up with. 

    I've started a weekly challenge with my Flowerbug's Team where I share a card sketch or color challenge.  I'm calling them Creative Cards or #CC.  Here's the one we did last week: 

    Template 3 Save

    And here's the card I came up with.  

    Template 3 Save

    I chose to use the Playing with Patterns designer paper and a new product that's coming out to everyone in March.  It's called Butterfly Bouquet and it has gorgeous Designer Paper and a beautiful stamp & dies bundle.  The stamp & dies will be out in the upcoming 2021 Annual Catalog in May.  But they're releasing it early in March!  

    Demonstrators can order it now in February. On the card above I used mostly the DSP with just one purple die-cut. The greeting is from one of my favorite greeting sets; Happy Thoughts.  

    There are now just 7 days left of Sale-a-Bration!!! 

    That means you have one week to either purchase the Starter Kit deal (seen below) or get free stamps or paper!  Don't wait!
