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.

    My Flowerbug's Team amazes me with their incredible card swaps; each and every month their cards are super fabulous!  I shouldn't be surprised at this point!  

    Our September Team card swap featured Halloween or Fall cards and I'll be featuring them for the next several days.  

    Annette made this first card with the Best Witches stamp set seen here.  Look at her amazing coloring!

    The colors include Highland Heather, Black & a bit of Granny Apple Green on the frog.  She used Blends markers for her coloring.  Love that face!

    The designer is our Black & White Designs from the Holiday catalog.  The circles are from the Layering Circles dies. 

    It's also a fun fold 'latch' card!  Here's the inside view: 

    Measurements:

    • Highland Heather: Card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  Side flap is3 1/2" square
    • Black: 2 3/4" X 3 1/4" & 2" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP: 1 3/4" X 5"
    • White: front is 2 1/2" X 3", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

    In the photo below you can see how the right panel is 'latched' with the layered circle greeting to keep it closed.  

    Next is a super cute card made by Candace with the Bewitching punch bundle seen here.  Unfortunately the punch is unavailable right now but it will be back!  I just love her playful circles layout! 

    She used Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Black & Granny Apple Green.  She cut off the front flap with the Border Basics dies and added a strip of Gorgeous Grape with the same die-cut edge.  

    The way she added the boots to be under the hat with this fold is genius!  


    Measurements:

    • Grape card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" plus a 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip for the zigzag die-cut border 
    • White is 5 1/4" X 7" scored at 4 1/8"
    • Circles are all die-cuts from the Stylish Shapes dies!  



    Don't you agree that these cards are amazing!?  I'm so proud to share the creativity of my Flowerbug's Team!  More to come tomorrow!

    I shared this cute & easy box on Tuesday's FB Live.  It's quite simple to make and fits a bunch of treats too!  

    I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received.  It's called Spooky Treats.  I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit.  I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

    The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

    Here are the measurements: 

    • Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
    • Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
    • DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”

    For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie.  The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.  

     

    This Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin kit is still available while supplies last!  You can choose between the full kit here for $20.50 or the refill here (without the stamp set & ink) for $11.  

    You have a few choices when purchasing Paper Pumpkin.  You can subscribe to get one kit each month here.  Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here.  You can choose from a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month pre-paid subscription.

    Here's one of the projects I shared on Tuesday's FB Live video this week.  I focused on the Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin kit.  

    Good news!  This kit is still available – you can get the full kit here.  Or if you're a subscriber you can get the refill here.  

     In the video seen here, I share a bunch of alternative projects with both my Paper Pumpkin subscribers AND my Flowerbug's Team. 

    Here's the stamp set that is included in the kit; it's so cute!

    Here's what the Spooky Treats kit makes if you follow the kit directions as directed. It includes 18 nice size treat boxes; perfect to add your candy or Halloween treats in.  

    I look forward to getting these kits in the mail each month.  I know that October's kit is Christmas cards.  We always get a hint on what it will be. That way you can opt out or even choose to get more than one kit!

    You can see how I stamped the inside below.  The card base is Orchid Oasis. 

    I used three inks and our blending brushes to create the smooth background under the Aspen Tree dies. I share a few tips on getting smooth results in the video.
