Lovely & Sweet card is filled with textures; get the free project sheet or watch the video

January 30, 2024

This is one of the cards I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Nature's Sweetness suite.

The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge? that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it. The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here.

Below is a photo of the entire suite of products.

If you order this suite you'll earn two free Sale-a-Bration choices! Or get it and almost $20 more with the Starter Kit deal!

Other dies include the Cheerful Daisies for the label and the Deckled Circles behind the flowers/leaves. I also used the Wink of Stella with Lost Lagoon ink to color the flowers and added a Blooming Pearl to each one.

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"

Below is a photo of the pretty Decorative Borders stamp set. 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.

Love Cats video tutorial with an easy but unique fun fold

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.

Save

*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.
