Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!

February 28, 2020

This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects. Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock.

I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy.

Here's how to make this pretty card.

First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree.
Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).
Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base.
Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect. (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch. I share it on the video below.
I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting.

Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card.

Who knew?!

February 5, 2022

If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed!

One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos. She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.

I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me! Incredible!

Turtle & Friends Fun Fold swaps

February 4, 2022
Today I have a few special fun fold cards made with the Turtle & Friends bundle seen here. They were for a Flowerbug's Team swap we held last month with an 'Animal Fun Fold' theme.

The first card was made by Paula. Her cute card is called a Double Dutch Door fold.

Save

I love the rounded corners on her front layer and the sweet background made with images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set. She sponged the sky & grass too.

Measurements:
- Evening Evergreen card base 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" tall scored at 5 1/2", and the lower doors piece is 8 1/2" X 3" wide scored at 2 1/8" & 6 3/8"
- White upper stamped layer is 4" X 2 3/4"
- Lower DSP (Pattern Party host) layer is 1 3/4" X 2 3/4
- Granny Apple Green inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
To put this card together you add the scored horizontal piece to the vertical card base and add the inside layer over it.

Next is a fun fancy fold card made by Marla. I'd forgotten about this unique card fold! It looks like a normal card at first glance.

Save

But when you lift the front it reveals this!

She used the Expressions in Ink specialty DSP in the annual catalog for her card front. She also used the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder for the Garden Green strip.

Measurements:
- Garden Green 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" plus a 1 1/2" X 4" piece for the embossed strip
- Whisper White inside is 3 3/4" X 11" scored at 1" & 6"
- Expressions in Ink DSP 4" X 5 1/4"
