What is a ‘Live Edge’ card? Check it out and the video tutorial too


You may have heard of 'Live Edge' tables; but have you ever heard of a 'live edge' card?  Well that's what I'm calling this technique! 

I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base.  I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!  

The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results.  See the set here.

Here's how I stamped the inside: 

Products used:

  • Happiest Day stamp set
  • Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
  • Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP

I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper.  I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them. 

Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!

Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with an easy addition of glimmer strips and a few other ideas as well.

  • Fabulous Gone Fishing bundle swap cards


    Father's Day is coming up Sunday and the Gone Fishing bundle is perfect for the occasion.  

    I received two swap cards on the cruise and thought you'd like to see them.  First is my friend Susie Wood's card.  Her style is similar to mine and we often share cards with each other. My husband and I spent time with her and her husband Deke on the cruise; not enough but we both treasure our friendship so much! Check out her fabulous blog here.  She is super creative and a master at fun folds. 

    Her colors are Night of Navy with Vanilla and Boho Blue. The tag is made with our Very Best Trio punch seen here. 

    Next is a card I received from Janet Holmes. The curvy border die-cut shows off wonderfully here.  

    Check out the Gone Fishing bundle here.  

    I'll have lots more to share with this bundle soon!

  • Marvelous Nature Ombre technique with video tutorial


    Today I'm sharing the other card I made during Tuesday's video.  Both featured the new set called Marvelous Nature.  


    I used an ombre technique where I inked the solid stamped image with three inks consecutively.  The top is Pool Party, the middle is Lost Lagoon and the bottom is Pretty Peacock.  


    You can see this pretty Marvelous Nature stamp set here. 

    The greeting is from the set but I did use the Stylish Shapes dies for it and popped it up on Dimensionals. 

    The card base is Lost Lagoon with two strips of Pretty Peacock under the main image.  As you can see by the photo below the left card is lighter than the right one.  In the video I went over the upper part of the image one more time using the Stamparatus; mostly so I could get a more solid, complete image.

  • Pretty Marvelous Nature card with video tutorial & measurements


    I've seen a few projects with the Marvelous Nature set and was intrigued by it's reverse images. And it's nature so I ordered it.  This card was one of two I made on this week's Live video: 

    I chose to use Lost Lagoon with Pretty Peacock. I also added some of the Hello, Irresistible designer paper. This pretty DSP is on sale right now too!  See it here.  

    You may also spy the shimmery strip beside the greeting.  This is our Soft Shimmer 12" X 12" paper pack seen here.  It has 5 rich colors in it.

    The Marvelous Nature stamp set (seen here) includes two beautiful images and three greetings.  I kept my card very simple to show off the pretty fern image. 

    I love these colors together!
