Look at this! Ornate Borders wow!


This is one of the cards I made for everyone who orders the Ornate Thanks bundle (or the Ornate Garden Suite) from me this month. 

I used THREE of the Ornate Border dies for this card! 

It's Blueberry Bushel with White accents.  I will sure miss this color!  It will be retiring in just 9 days!  Be sure to get any of the 5 retiring in colors while you can. Once the list comes out on April 22nd they go very fast.

Isn't that border die amazing?  And so simple too. The Blueberry Bushel card starts out as usual at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  Then I used the detailed floral border die on the lower edge. *save a few of the leaves for the flower accent in the corner. 

I used the dotted border die on the lower edge of the White card stock.  Stamp your greetings and add the ribbon and bow. 

Next cut out the third detailed floral die-cut from a strip of White card stock.  Trim off just a little section of the flowers to add to the upper left corner; with a few of the extra leaves from the lower edge die-cut. 

Adding a White layer inside the card for stamping and/or writing your message highlights the gorgeous floral trim on the front.  

This is just one of the FREE 3 cards you'll receive from me when you purchase either the Ornate Thanks bundle OR the entire Ornate Garden Suite from me this month.  See it all here in my online store. 

And remember that all online orders over $55 in April will receive a free Simple Shammy from me too! Details below.

  • Painted Poppies in a window


    Adding dimension and interest to a clean & simple card can be a challenge.  Adding a window with the Stitched Nested Label dies does it easily.

    I had this window piece in my bag of White scraps, so it was extra easy to make this card. I used the Stitched Nested Labels; which are a 'must have' in my opinion. Next time you want a die-cut, consider die-cutting it in the center of a larger piece so you can use both pieces! 

    The top White piece is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", the second White layer is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8".  The Granny Apple Green piece is 1 1/2" X 5 1/2".

    Just like yesterday's card I used my Dark Poppy Parade blends marker to color the new 1/4" White Crinkled ribbon for the bow. Both of the images are stamped in Black Memento ink. I colored the green leaves and bud with a Granny Apple Green Blends marker.  The poppy flower is colored by stamping with one of the stamps in the Painted Poppies set.  

    The greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts stamp set; it's free with any $50 order right now during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  You can see all of the free items here. 

    I love the new Peaceful Poppies suite and have created 10 project sheets to send to everyone who places an order in January.  Details below:

  • Peaceful Poppies; easy cards!


    The new Peaceful Poppies designer series paper is gorgeous with bright, pretty colors and lots of poppies!  There's one sheet in particular that makes it super easy to make quick, floral cards. Click here to see it in my store. 

    It's the sheet of paper on the far left above.  

    I cut the paper at 5 1/2" across and above the flowers.  Then into 3" strips.  Now I have 8 panels of flowers ready for cards!  

    I made two cards here adding a 1" X 5 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade on the left and a white punched border using the Decorative Ribbon Border punch. The cards are Old Olive cut at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2" 

    The greetings are from the new Sale-a-Bration set 'Sending you Thoughts' on page 11 of that catalog.  You can see it here. The punch they're stamped on is the Timeless Label punch seen here.  

    You might wonder where I found that pretty crinkled Poppy Parade ribbon. It's the new 1/4" White crinkled ribbon that I colored Poppy with my Dark Poppy Parade blends.  I LOVE being able to color my ribbon the exact color I need for my projects!  

    Check out all of the Sale-a-Bration items here; remember you get a free choice for every $50 or $100 you spend!

  • Snowman Peek-a-Boo card with video


    This interactive card is fun& adorable and my gals loved it at our December club events.  

    They were anxious that it would be difficult.  There is a little trick to it but once you 'get it' you'll find it's pretty easy. 

    I cased this card from my very creative friend, Julie Davison.  Her style is simple yet fun.  Her layouts are the best!

    My color scheme came from the Let it Snow specialty designer paper from the Holiday catalog.  Unfortunately that paper is out of stock.  It was VERY popular!  It's Coastal Cabana, Real Red, White and Black. 

    The Snowman Season set is still available as a bundle through today; January 2nd.  Get it at 10% off now.  It will return this year but not as a bundle at the discount. See the stamp set here and the punch here

    Here's the corrected video; not upside down!  Ha! 

     

    Measurements:
    Red card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    Coastal Cabana tag 2" X 5 3/4" scored at 3 1/2" and 4", front layer is 2 3/8" X 3 1/4"
    White front 2 1/8" X 3", small snowman piece is 1 1/2" X 1 3/4"; inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    Designer paper 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"
