Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

Save

It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.

• Decorative Borders Book Binding card with video tutorial

  March 17, 2023

  ---

  I shared this special card on a recent FB Live.  It features a few techniques and is a fun fold card too.  

  It's made with the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here; a new favorite!

  When I saw this pretty leaves image I thought of creating a frame with it.  I show how on the video below.

  This book binding fold is so easy; it's just one extra fold line! 

  Measurements:

  • Black card base 4 ¼” X 11” score at 4 ¼” & 5 ½”
  • White 3 7/8” square, inside is 4" square
  • Polished Pink 4”
  • Parakeet Party 1” X 4

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I used my Stamparatus to create the pretty border on the Parakeet Party strip and a Baby Wipe technique for the colorful flowers. The leaves are colored with Blends markers; note the pretty shading!  Parakeet Party & Granny Apple Green blends.

  The greeting is from the Framed Florets set seen here.

  There are so many ways you might use this set; I share a few more in the video below.  It would be perfect to decorate your envelopes too!

  Here's how I finished the inside of the card.

• Decorative Borders & coloring vellum technique with video

  March 16, 2023

  ---

  Last month our Flowerbug's Team swap theme was to use vellum or window sheets.  Here's what I came up with featuring the Decorative Borders stamp set seen here.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I heat embossed the image twice with black embossing folder in two corners.  This is on vellum card stock. After it was set I colored in the images with Blends markers – Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.  The corner image is small but it still took a bit of time to do them all.  I colored on the back side; no real reason except it's a little more forgiving. 

  The greeting die-cut is from the Potted Succulents dies; the heat embossed image is from Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalog. 

  My measurements are:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Printed vellum 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • Vellum card stock 3 1/4" X 4 1/8"
  • White front 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" , inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
  • Black 3 3/4" X 4 3/4"

  March 15, 2023

  ---

  We made this CUTE card at my February card clubs.  It really shows off the Love Cats stamp set seen here. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

   

  I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  In order to get full, solid images I used the Stamparatus for the cats.  It makes a world of difference!  *Catch the tips in the video below.

  *Other items used here are the Conversation Bubbles dies, Pastel Adhesive-backed sequins, Balmy Blue variegated ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Sweet Sorbet Blends marker

  Measurements:

  • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½”
  • Sweet Sorbet 8” X 5 ¼” scored at 4”
  • White inside is 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
  • DSP 1 ½” X 5 ¼”

  I used the Happy Labels stamp set for the inside greetings.  It has some fabulous images; see it here.
