Greenery Lane card with the new Washi Tape

February 26, 2026

I was playing around with the Greenery Lane bundle and the new coordinating Washi Tape and created this card:

My colors are Garden Green with White; simple. I adhered the Washi Tape to a piece of White CS and then cut one piece into a large circle and used the coordinating dies to cut four of the leaves. You can see the bundle here and below.

The Greenery Lane Washi tape coordinates with many of the dies in the bundle. It’s so pretty in shades of green. See it online here.

I also used the Nested Essential dies for the greeting, the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Textured Notes dies (unavailable right now but on the Last Chance list).

If you look at my greeting ‘hugs’ you’ll notice it’s not alone. I carefully inked just the ‘hugs’ with my ink pad since I wanted a short greeting.
I hope you like it and are inspired by product and the layout.

Coloring Techniques with the Pretty Flowers Embossing folder! With video!

June 10, 2021

Have you ever added color/ink directly onto your embossing folder? It's actually fun and the results can be amazing! I shared three different techniques on my weekly FB Live Tuesday. Here's a link to it on my FB page or on YouTube here. Or scroll below to see it here.

This first card is done by coloring on your folder with markers. These are regular water-based markers; not Blends. I share tips for success on this technique in the video.

Each card features the stamp set Create with Friends seen here. I love this set! The embossing folder is called Pretty Flowers; it's my free gift for online orders over $50 in June! *see it here

I chose to use Soft Succulent on both cards adding Pale Papaya on the left and Fresh Freesia on the right. Love our newest In Colors!!! The greeting layer is from the Tasteful Label dies.

Next is a sponging technique. I embossed the White CS with the folder in the die-cutting machine first. Then used sponge daubers to color the White CS. I highly recommend you use pastel colors for this for the best results. It's much more forgiving!

Save

I used the Poppy dies for the greeting layer.

Save

And the last technique is to add ink directly onto the folder itself; before you run it through. Press your ink pad lightly to the side of the folder you want inked. Do this lightly to avoid getting ink in the recesses of the folder. Again; watch my video for more tips!

The pretty die-cut for the greeting is from the Potted Succulent dies seen here.

In Symmetry Fun-fold card with video

June 8, 2021
I played with the In Symmetry bundle on last week's Facebook Live and wanted to share this neat fun fold card. I got the idea for it from my good friend Susie Wood. Here's a link to her card.

It's a standard A2 size card but the unique fold makes it special. The nice thing is how easy it is to make! And it really showcases the designer paper and Pretty Flowers embossing folder I used.

Save

I chose the Navy, Calypso Coral and Bumblebee color combination because of the colors in the Sweet Symmetry DSP seen here. The cute Navy leaves are from the Symmetrical Stems punch. I fussy cut the flower.
