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.

Jar of Flowers Double Flap Fun-fold card with video!

June 26, 2020
The Jar of Flowers bundle is pretty neat and easy to create wonderful cards with. We made these cards at my June card clubs. It was sooo great getting together with my gals again. North Dakota is open to events again but we are still being cautious too.

You can really see the details on the card in this close up view. That neat texture is the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. The colors are Misty Moonlight with Bumblebee and the In Good Taste designer paper.

There are sooo many wood, texture and patterns in this big pack of In Good Taste paper. It is amazing! Here's a good view of this paper.

Here's another version of the card using the jar and water image but the flowers are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. This card was for those who didn't want to color. We added punched flowers using the Confetti Flowers Border punch seen here. After punching we added a dot of Navy ink for the centers.

Save

For this fold all I did was trim off an inch from the card front and add a flap that is hidden by the strip of In Good Taste DSP. This flap is what the front panel is adhered to. Watch the video below!

The cards are finished off with a greeting from the Lovely You bundle – this is one of my favorite bundles! I love the Pick a Punch and the Lovely You stamp set is full of wonderful greetings.

Measurements:
- Bumblebee card 5 1/2" X 7 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  In Good Taste DSP 1" X 5 1/2"
  White – front and inside 4 1/8" X 3", scrap for greeting is 1/2" wide
  Misty Moonlight 3 1/4" X 4 3/8", flap is 1 3/4" X 3 1/2" scored at 1/2"

Blossoms in Bloom; puzzling it together?

June 25, 2020

Here's an incredible card featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle made by my Flowerbug's team member Jacki for a new catalog card swap.

Save

I just love these colors together; Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.

Can you tell that she stamped the large floral image on her White CS using Misty Moonlight? Then she added die-cut layers in White, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade. Yes; she cut out three dies for each card and puzzle fit them over the stamped image!!! Amazing, but stunning!

If you want to see this bundle online, click here.

I believe she cased this card from Pinterest; made by Mary Detherage.

Colorful Sunflowers the easy way!

June 23, 2020
Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps. I believe she found the idea on Pinterest. I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors!

Save

The card base is Bumblebee. She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together. Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares. You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!

Measurements:
- Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- White – 5 1/4" X 4"
- Black 3 3/4" square
- Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.
