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!

  • Pretty & Iridescent Whimsy & Wonder Team card swaps!

    Check out these pretty cards made with the Whimsy & Wonder specialty designer paper and the Whimsical Trees bundle.

    This first one was made by Marilyn.  She trimmed off an inch on the right side of her card front so it shows off the pretty Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper.

    Other features here are the Iridescent Snowflakes, the Merry Melody embossing folder and the Genial Gems from the Annual catalog. 

    This Whimsy & Wonder specialty designer paper has been on low inventory multiple times.  It is not carrying over so get it while you can here.

  • A Shaker Card anyone can make with the Peaceful Deer bundle

    Have you ever made a shaker card?  Have you thought it was too much work to bother with or maybe you thought you needed special supplies? 

    Well today I'm sharing a fun & EASY shaker card idea. The only special thing you need is a clear envelope or cello bag.  

    And the Deer Punch is now available!!!  Get it here. 

    Peaceful Deer shaker Save

    These cards are so fun and interactive.  You will be so proud to give one of these. One of my favorite things about this type of shaker card is that it isn't thick so it requires no extra postage. 

    1st step: add a white punched deer from the Deer Builder punch popped up with a Dimensional. 

    2nd: Insert into your clear envelope and add a good pinch of Subtle Shimmer sequins. 

    3rd: Fold the envelope over tightly to keep the sequins on the side of the DSP you want. Secure the flap. 

    Here's a photo of the back of the shaker part.  You can see the back side of the designer paper and where I folded the clear envelope over to secure.  A small cello bag would also work here.  

    After the shaker part is done just add your frame over it securing with adhesive.  Add to the card and finish! 

    Peaceful Deer shaker Save

    Here's a version featuring the Whimsy & Wonder specialty designer paper; it works wonderfully here.  The card base and ink are Mint Macaron. The greeting is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set and the die-cut is from Tasteful Labels dies.

  • Live tonight! Show off your Designer Paper with this fun layout!

    We're making these cards tonight on Facebook Live here.  Every other Monday I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live where we use our Designer Paper in fun ways.  

    I love this layout!  It is perfect for small patterns of Designer Paper. Turning squares on the angle adds a lot of playful interest to your card and showcases one main image, die-cut or punch in the center.

    I post the measurements a few days before the Live event so you have the time to prep your pieces so we can complete them together.
