Today's project is one I made for two reasons.  One was to feature the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in my weekly Live video and the other was for my Flowerbug's Team monthly card swap. 

It's sweet & summery!

You might wonder where I got these shapes & flowers.  Well they are both from a sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here.  Here's what the full sheet looks like:

And the best part?  The new Inked & Tiled punch pack matches this paper perfectly with very little waste! 

The punches are in a bundle with the Inked & Tiled stamp set here.

My card base is the beautiful new Bubble Bath pink.  I added a layer of Garden Green 3 7/8" C 2 5/8".  That is added to a Scalloped Contours die-cut measuring 4 1/2" X 3 1/8".  

The greeting is heat embossed in White powder on a strip of Garden Green. Then I cut it into a 1/2" strip and used one of the punches to get that cute greeting shape.  

Save

This is one of the reasons I ordered these punches; for greetings.  But they sure make a sweet card front too.

I think you could use other small images, stamped or designer paper, and do this same thing!

Below are all three of the cards I share in the video. Scroll down a bit or watch it here.

Here's the link to see a recent video featuring this card.  I also make two other cards made with the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper.

• Thoughtful Wishes bundle with a neat masking effect

  May 17, 2024

  ---

  What do you think of this monochromatic card?  

  Save

  The colors include Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie & Early Espresso. I used quite a few new Annual Catalog products here. 

  Products used:

  • Thoughtful Wishes bundle seen here
  • Country Woods designer paper
  • So Swirly embossing folder seen here
  • Countryside corner dies for my mask (now seen online)
  • Unbounded Love stamp set

  I added ink inside a die-cut mask with a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie ink before I textured it with the So Swirly embossing folder.  I love the effect!

• Unbounded Beauty card; an easy layout you’ll love to copy!

  May 16, 2024

  ---

  I created this card for my free project tutorial this month – it features the Unbounded Beauty suite. This tutorial is free to everyone who orders from me online. 

  Save

  My colors include Petunia Pop, Basic White and a bit of Summer Splash with the In Color glimmer paper.  The pretty designer paper is called Unbounded Beauty and can be seen here. 

  The greeting stamp & die-cut are both from the same suite – the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.  

  Measurements: 

  • card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • Designer paper – start with a piece measuring 3 1/2" square. Cut from the left at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
  • White is 4 1/4" X 3" plus a scrap for greeting die-cut

  If you're loving this pretty designer paper you might consider opting in for my Unbounded Beauty card kit to go.  It includes 10 pre-cut cards, approximately $20 in product and the free tutorial – all for $29 plus shipping.  See it here.

• Beautiful but quick cards with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More card pack

  May 15, 2024

  ---

  I shared this card on last week's FB live video. It starts out with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More cards and a Basic White Memories & More card base. 

  Save

  I scored the blue card and the front half of the card base in half.  Then added a few short pieces of card stock behind the front layers so that layer pops up. 

  Save

  The size of these pieces do not matter at all.  Some people use one thicker piece on each side; I used two thin pieces.  It allows the top layer to move independently from the front of the card.  See how it's done in this video. 

  Save

  
  You can see these Memories & More cards here. They come in a pack of 28 – half are 3 X 4" and the rest are 4" X 6". They fit our Basic White Memories & More card bases and envelopes perfectly.  They're also a great way to create larger than our usual cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" finished size.  

  I made more beautiful cards with these products, adding a bit of twine to some along with a few printed greetings from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. 
   

  Save

  You can see the Saying Something Ephemera pack here.  It's FULL of tons of greetings you can just add to a card or scrapbook page.  I was thrilled when I saw these in the catalog. They're a perfect solution for quick crafting.  

  Save

  Sometimes you want or need to be able to make quick cards; these items are a wonderful way to do that!
