Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!


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. 

  1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
  2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree. 
  3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).  
  4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base. 
  5. 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)
  6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch.  I share it on the video below. 
  7. 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.

  • You’ll love this easy sketch idea for a quick & pretty card


    On last week's Live video I focused on the pretty Mediterranean Blooms designer paper and this pretty color combination: 

    My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy, White & a touch of green in the pretty Mediterranean Blooms DSP.  It's on sale for a few more days! See it here. 

    The card base is 4 1/4"X 11" scored at 5 1/2". The Lemon Lolly is 4" X 5 1/4", DSP is 2" X 5 1/4", Navy strip 1/4" X 5 1/4" 

    Each month in my Flowerbug's Team we have an optional challenge that features a sketch of color combination. This is the current sketch and it inspired me to create this pretty card. 

    Card sketches are drawings or images that can help inspire your creativity. They're a starting point. Use the basic design and change it any way you'd like.  

    The greeting is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.  The pretty embossing folder on the Lemon Lolly layer is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here. 

    Below is a video where I share a few more ideas for this DSP and the Citrus Blooms dies.

  • A Pretty Diamond Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    This card fold looks a bit tricky but it is super easy to make!

    It features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer paper. My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy & White.

    This card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4"; score at 5 1/2" & 8 7/8". 

    How did I get that square to pop up on the end?  Watch the video to see!  But basically you trim off the outer corners from the scored and folded end. 

    I fussy cut the lemon bunch from the designer paper. The Citrus Blooms bundle coordinates with this pretty DSP but I didn't use them here.  The greetings are from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.

    Here's the inside view:

  • Potions & Spells swap cards for Halloween inspiration


    Today I'm sharing two fun cards made by my Flowerbug's team. They both feature the new Potions & Spells bundle seen here in the online store. 

    Robin made this first one; she's a master at sponging.

    Don't you love her sponged background? She placed a post-it circle onto her White CS before sponging, creating the moon, which is a great place to add the sentiment. It shows off the die-cut cauldron wonderfully. 

    Click on the photo below to see it in the store.  Look at the neat die-cuts and images in this bundle: 

    Next is a card made by Paula who also used this neat bundle. 

    Her colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Black and Gold. 

    Notice the neat texture of the cauldron. She inked the embossing folder before texturing it. 

    Here's a list of the products she used:

    • So Swirly embossing folder
    • Sketched Plaid background stamp seen here 
    • Exposed Brick embossing folder
    • Wink of Stella on the bubbles & oozing slime

    And look how the cauldron opens!! 

    She scored her card stock before die-cutting so it would have an opening.  So cool!! 

    I'll share more Team swaps next week.
