Life is Beautiful fun fold cards with video!

Here are the two cards I made on FB Live last week.  I had to ink up my Life is Beautiful stamp set one more time. Sadly it's retiring on January 4th.

This first card is made with Purple Posy & Gray Granite.  I cut off 1 1/2" from the front layer to reveal a bit of the inside.  I used the Stamparatus to stamp both the tree and greeting at the same time.  I love it for mass producing!  Perfect every time!

I used Highland Heather ink for the bokeh dots in this set; stamped off a few times.  That neat texture is a new folder in the upcoming Spring catalog called Painted Texture.

• Sweet Citrus; in a Lime version too!

  March 10, 2023

  ---

  The Sweet Citrus bundle can make any citrus fruit you'd like.  I've even seen people make coconuts! 

  I've shared three other cards featuring oranges, grapefruit and lemons but today I'm sharing my 'Lime' version.  

  Save

  I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Starry Sky, Parakeet Party and Granny Apple Green. I cased it from a card made by Maheswari Rajaguru.  I think these colors are stunning together. 

  That pretty texture on the card front is made with the new Basic Embossing Folders 3D seen here.  They're in a 3 pack and in our Online Exclusives product line seen here. 

  Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once?  You can use the dies and folder separately as well but together it's faster and saves a step.*Watch in the video below to see how it's done.

  I also show how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus.  Perfect every time! 

  Here's a photo of the inside:

  Below is a photo of all 4 cards I shared in my recent video featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle. Oranges, limes, grapefruit and lemons!  This bundle is a true gem!
