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.

    I was playing around with the new In Colors and the pretty new Quiet Meadow Bundle and created this pretty card: 

    I wanted to see if I could add colored flowers to the green die-cuts.  It was actually very easy to do!  I cut the entire dies in Soft Succulent and then cut mostly the flowers in the colors.  I then trimmed the flowers to add to the stems. 

    You can get a similar effect if you die-cut everything in White CS and then add color by sponging.  I'll try that sometime soon and share the results.  

    I used the new In Colors of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink.  The only one I didn't use is Evening Evergreen.  That pretty greeting die is also included in these Meadow dies!  Can you see the shimmer on the flowers?  I added a bit of Wink of Stella. The embossing folder is Tasteful Textile.

  • Happy May Day!! Check out this neat basket with template!


    Sharon brought these amazing hand made baskets to our last Flowerbug's gathering.  

    Aren't they fabulous?  It was sweet & generous of her!  

    For the fresh flowers basket she used the Fine Art Gallery designer paper in the Jan-June catalog. 

    She cut down a small milk carton to insert inside the paper basket so we could add water.  She added a metal frog to the inside of it to add the flowers securely.  The fresh flowers lasted over a week!  

    Would you like to know how she made the basket?  Well she made a template to share with you all as well!  Download Sharon's Basket here

    For the candy basket she used a brand new Pansy Petals designer paper in the new 2021 Annual Catalog. 


      Have a wonderful May Day!!
