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!

Butterfly wobble & Bokeh technique with video!

March 29, 2021
I'm excited to share one of my March Club cards with you. This background is called the Bokeh technique.

Save

Sponging a background is a big favorite of mine and when you add the Bokeh technique to it you get magic! I created my own dotted mask by punching a bunch of circles from a piece of card stock.

We made these cards at my March card clubs and they loved it! I used the Vine Design stamp set as well as the Happy Thoughts set; both are retiring and on the Last Chance list here.

Measurements:
- Pacific Point 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  White sponged layer 3 3/4" X 5"
  White layer (under sponged layer) 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"
  White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  White greeting strip 1/2" X 5"
Save

I used Pretty Peacock, Pacific Point & Magenta Madness inks as well as the White Craft ink pad for the light colored dots. You can see the video below. It's so easy and amazing!

The butterflies are created with the new Brilliant Wing dies seen here. They'll be in the upcoming Annual catalog but are available now too.

Here is the video; I hope you watch it. This technique is so fun and unique every single time! Think of the colors you could use!
