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!

  • Can you tell which is stamped and which is Designer paper?

    I made these on FB live this week using the Expressions in Ink suite.  Can you tell which background is stamped and which is Designer Paper?  

    Expressions in Ink FB live May 11 Save

    My top favorite suite in the new Annual catalog is the Expressions in Ink.  See it here or on page 96-97.  It's filled with stamps & paper that mimic alcohol ink backgrounds.  Toss in the beautiful gold accents and it's stunning!

    Here's a close up of the card.  Can you tell if I stamped it or if it's designer paper?  

    Alcohol ink background stamped Save

    Yes; I did stamp it!  These images are so neat!  I can see lots of uses for both the greetings and the faux alcohol ink stamps.  See how in the video below. Mmm; I think I'll try a one sheet wonder with these…..! 

    And look at the leaves die-cuts!  I cut them from In Color Shimmer Vellum & Gold Foil paper.  The tag is from the Tailor Made Tags dies.

    Here's the FB Live replay video.  Sorry the text isn't flipped so you can read it.  FB changed their settings and the tool icon is gone.

  • Inspired Thoughts Bundle; a beautiful scene

    I created this card for an online swap I participated in last month.  I just love it!

    The main 4 trees die-cut can be cut apart which opens a whole world of possibilities! 

    Inspired Thoughts swap sponged clouds Save

    Here's how I made it:

    1. Die-cut the trees and hill using the Inspiring Canopy dies (seen below).  
    2. Cut the 4 trees apart at the bottom connection point. Set aside.
    3. Sponge clouds using Pool Party ink onto the 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS.  I used the Basic Border dies (cloud).
    4. Sponge Calypso Coral ink onto the bottom third of this piece. 
    5. Adhere the trees to the edge of each side. 
    6. Add the hill piece; trim off excess from hill and trees. Adhere to the Calypso Coral card base. 
    7. Finish with Genial Gems.  

    You can see the beautiful Inspired Thoughts bundle here.

  • Fresh In colors with new Shimmer Vellum flowers

    I'm not sure if I'll ever get tired of playing with the new 2021-23 In colors.  They are fresh and spring-like; almost fruity. 

    For today's card I added four 1 1/4" X 4" strips of the new 6 X 6" In Color designer paper to a standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" white card base. It had prominent placement on my In Color display last week at my New Catalog Launch party.  

    In Color DSP Perennial dies Save

    I cut out a die-cut label from the Scalloped Contours dies and stamped my greeting (from the Sweet Ice Cream set) using Soft Succulent ink.  

    The flowers are from the soon to retire (June 2021) Perennial dies.  The colored flowers are cut from the new Shimmer Vellum; available here in all 5 of our In Colors!  So pretty!!  

    2021–2023 IN COLOR SHIMMER VELLUM Save

    I colored the pearls on the flowers with the In Color Blends markers. Having these coordinating Blends markers means I can color any gem I want to match! Two of these Blends are already on back-order!  They are HOT items!
