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! 

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.

  I created this card on last week's FB Live video.  You can watch it here.  

  For the card front, I simply added a layer of the Rings of Love DSP behind it for a soft background.  You can keep it this simple or create your own background!  

  However I made the inside of the card extra special with an Explosion fold. These look so difficult to do but honestly they're not!  Please watch the video; afterwards you'll want to make one!

  Save

  The left card has the Rings of Love DSP and the card on the right features the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  For greetings I used the Soft Seedlings & Perched in a Tree stamp sets.

  I also shared an easy ribbon trick in the video; if you have trouble with bows I hope you watch.

• Stamparatus ‘Step’ technique with Amazing Phrasing set

  August 12, 2022

  ---

  I played with the Rings of Love DSP on this week's FB Live and this is one of the cards I made.  It's so bright & cheery!

  Save

  I wanted to really show off the fun phrases you can create from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set seen here. I used just a bit of my favorite pattern in the Rings of Love DSP seen here.  That was my inspiration for the colors – Mint Macaron, Poppy Parade & Petal Pink.  

  In the video I show you how easy it is to get the images stamped perfectly in place.  It is quite simple yet crazy cool!  

  Save

  I did stamp the 'amazing' one extra time and fussy cut it to pop it up on the card front.  I also colored a few rhinestones with Blends markers to add some coordinating sparkle.  

  The Rings of Love DSP is free with any $50 order and the Amazing Phrasing stamp set is free with a $100 order.  I love Sale-a-Bration!!

• Sweet Songbird candy nest box – a cute & easy project!

  August 11, 2022

  ---

  Marilyn brought this adorable little treat basket to our Flowerbug's Team gathering a few months ago.  I can't believe I haven't shared it here yet! 

  She used the Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle to make it.  See this bundle here. 

  Save

  Isn't it cute!?  She stamped the nests in Soft Suede ink onto Soft Suede card stock and fussy cut them out – one for the front and one for the back. 

  Save

  The box is made with a 3 1/4" square of Soft Suede card stock. Score at 1" on all sides. Cut up on four of the score lines to form your box.  Glue the 2 fussy cut nests on the front & back. It fits a few wrapped chocolates inside.  

  *Tip; before you form your basket, stamp a greeting on the bottom panel if you wish.  Smart! 

  Save

  She stamped the greeting on a strip of Crumb Cake card stock and curled it around a toothpick. It's glued behind the bird. 

  The bird is punched using the Bird Builder punch from Real Red card stock.  She sponged around the edges slightly to accent the wing etc.  The belly is in White and is also punched out.  

  Save

  It's just the sweetest little treat!  Thank you Marilyn!
