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

October 15, 2024

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!

Save

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!

3 ideas with the Friendly Hello bundle with video & measurements

January 10, 2022

I featured the Friendly Hello bundle on last week's Facebook Live. One of the projects is this 'latch fold' card. Click here to get to my page & I hope you'll follow me too.

It's normally called a Joy Fold card but I added the flowers on the lower left as a latch to hold it closed. I like it when a fun fold card stays flat and doesn't pop open on it's own.

Save

The color combination is Pool Party with Fresh Freesia. I think it's soft & springy; which we sorely need right now in North Dakota. It's super color the last few weeks with more snow than I like!

Click here to see the Friendly Hello bundle. It's part of our Sale-a-Bration offering through the end of February, 2022. It's free with a $100 purchase from my store. I love this time of year when everyone can get something free with their purchase. Most items are free with a $50 order but there are a few of higher value that are free with a $100 order.

Save

I stamped the left flap of the card with the double flower image instead of texturing it. I like the tone on tone stamping. It adds detail without getting 'busy'.

I added the new Iridescent Rhinestones to the flower centers. Love these so much! I'm actually gifting a package away to everyone who places an online order over $50 this month. See them here.

Calming Camelia 2 ways with video!

January 7, 2022

Today I'm hosting my Spring Launch & BOGO Bash event! If you're local to me in Minot, ND stop in! It's from 3-6 pm. I guarantee it will be worth coming! I'll have yummy treats & hot cocoa, great BOGO selection, tons of samples and door prizes too!

~~~

On one of my weekly FB Live's I played with the Calming Camelia stamp set from the new 2022 Sale-a-Bration catalog. See it here. I'm so excited it's SAB time!!

Save

I chose a few green/blue tones to stamp the same leaf image – Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green & Just Jade. After stamping on the 1 3/4" X 2 3/4" White pieces I added texture with the new set of embossing folders called Stripes & Splatters 3D in the new Spring catalog. See them here. I did heat emboss the greetings with White embossing powder also.

Save

The pretty embellishments are called Faux Sea Glass Shapes. They are available here in the new 2022 Jan-June Spring catalog.

Which layout do you prefer? Vertical or horizontal?
