More Earthen Textures card ideas

Here is another simple but pretty card I made on last week's Live video. 

Save

It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle.  Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon.   But they'll be back I'm sure.  You can see them here.  

I'm not quite ready for fall yet but I do love this color combination of Pecan Pie & Pretty Peacock.  A little touch of gold adds some elegance with the Gold Distressed paper and Festive Pearls.  I added more detail with a stitched edge with the Stitched with Whimsy dies. That notebook die-cut edge is from the Gorgeously Made dies seen here.  

And here's a very simple version with a similar layout:

I didn't even add any bling or embellishments to this one.  I think it needs something… maybe gold pearls? 

I stamped the vase in Pecan Pie on Basic White and die-cut it out.  Then added another die-cut of the handles from our Gold Distressed paper. The greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Pretty Peacock card stock.

The nice thing about this layout is you can get 5 card fronts from one 8 1/2" X 11" paper when using my 5 at a time layouts.  See them here on this post. 

You can see more Earthen Textures cards on the video here.  Don't forget to subscribe to either my FB page here to join in the Live's each Tuesday morning.  Or follow me on YouTube here.

• Birthday ‘Tackle’ Treat box with video tutorial & measurements!

  July 17, 2023

  ---

  I was so inspired by the 'Tackle' box Candace created for her 'Artist of the Month' projects I had to try making one.  She made hers with the Gone Fishing suite.  And she made this project up herself – she's incredible with box designs!  I decided to recreate it on a video and share it with you.  

  Save

  Isn't it amazing? I thought it would be really challenging to make, but with her box as my starting point it wasn't bad at all. And the Gone Fishing dies make the 'window' front a breeze. 

  Save

  I chose to use Berry Burst as my box color because I wanted it to be bright and happy for a Birthday gift.  I went to the dollar store and found some fun candy treats to add. I put the loose candies in small baggies I had on hand. 

  Save

  The box is quite easy to put together. After scoring the box lid, be sure to die-cut the 'window' using the Gone Fishing die.  Then you adhere it to a window sheet and add to the inside front of the box lid. 

  I notched the tabs before adhering. 

  Save

  • top of box 6 1/4 X 7 1/2" score 1" on all sides
  • bottom of box 6 1/8" X 7 3/8" score at 1" on all sides
  • window sheet 4 1/8" X 5 1/4" 
  • left inside divider (two compartments) is 1 7/8" X 6 3/4" score at 2 3/4", 3 1/2" & 4 1/4" 
  • right inside divider (three compartments) is 2 1/8" X  8 1/4" scored at 2", 2 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/8", 5 7/8" & 6 5/8" 
  • inside bottom – add under the two divided sections; 5 1/4" X 5 5/8" score at 1 7/8", 2 5/8" & 3 3/8".  (It's shown vertically in the photo below)

  Save

  Watch the video to see how these sections go together.   

  You can see the Gone Fishing bundle here.  *They're currently out of stock but should be back in late August. 

  Save

  I chose the Circle Sayings bundle for my greeting tag. *see it here It's quite a versatile set and pairing it with the coordinating 2 2/8" circle punch was so smart of Stampin' Up!  *I added a die-cut stitched Lemon Lime Twist circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

• Three more background ideas on these Team swap cards

  July 14, 2023

  ---

  Our Flowerbug's Team card swap theme was to create our own backgrounds.  I shared three cards yesterday and here are three more:

  Yellow is the underlying color on each of these swaps which is a perfect color for summertime. First is a pretty card in a blue & yellow combo by Candy.  

  Save

  She stamped the Timeless Tile background stamp and then textured it with an embossing folder.  She also used the Bottled Happiness stamp set. Her colors include Misty Moonlight & Daffodil Delight.  Such a beautiful card!

  ~~~

  Next is a card made by Jacki with the Hello Ladybug stamp set & Ladybug Builder punch.

  Save

  She stamped her background with the daisy image in the stamp set, heat embossing it with White embossing powder.  It sure pops on the Black card stock!  She added Daffodil Delight & White card stock for a poppin' color combo.

  I LOVE her bumble bee!  She used the punch for the body (adding Daffodil Delight strips to the Black body) and the wings are punched from Window Sheets.  So clever and fun. 

  Save

  ~~~

  Next is another pretty card made by Paula. She featured the Petal Park, Two-Tone Flora and Timeless Arrangements stamp sets. 

  Save

  Her colors include Daffodil Delight, Black, White & Old Olive, stamped off.  She added a few Brass Butterflies and our Black & White gingham ribbon.  

  I'll share the rest of our swaps next week.  Have a great weekend!

  Tomorrow is the last day of my special offer on my card kits to go.
