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.

• A gorgeous Handcrafted Ornaments card with video & free project sheet!

  November 10, 2023

     Look at this beautiful card made with the Handcrafted Elements dies!

  Save

  These dies are seen in our 2023 Holiday catalog or online here.  There are two dies in the set that create that pretty, layered ornament.  

  Save

  I chose to use Starry Sky & Orchid Oasis along with the Brushed Gold cards. For the stamped bough image under the banner, I used Wild Wheat ink, stamped off once.  It's surprisingly close to gold! 

  This card is one we made at my October Card Clubs; they could choose their favorite greeting and also the color of bow on the ornament.  

  Save

  I used the Distressed Tile 3d embossing folder seen here.

• Christmas Classic with the pretty Brushed Gold cards & envelopes; with video & free project sheet

  November 9, 2023

  I shared how to make this pretty card on last week's Live video:

  It features two of my favorite products from the 2023 Holiday catalog; the Christmas Classics bundle and the beautiful Brushed Gold cards & envelopes.

  I cut the card base in half so I could get two card fronts from it. I paired the gold accents with Shaded Spruce and the beautiful, detailed die-cut from the Christmas Classics dies.  See the bundle here.  I think it's absolutely gorgeous.  It's rare that I like the dies as well as the stamps!
