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.

• Sweet Citrus video; a Grapefruit version with optional gift card

  March 8, 2023

  ---

  We made this CUTE fun fold card at my February Card Clubs and it was a big hit!  Everyone loved the fresh color combo and how cool the textured fruit images are.  

  Save

  I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya and Granny Apple Green.  You can sure see the texture in the photo above.  Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once?  It's super cool and saves a step. 

  I show how in the video along with how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus.  Perfect every time!

  The card is a bit different in that the lower panel can be left open to add a gift card or money into.  Or seal it up; your choice.

• Sweet Citrus bundle with a Hybrid embossing folder; you can texture & cut at the same time!

  March 7, 2023

  ---

  In a recent video I shared multiple projects featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle.  Every card I make with this set is my favorite!  How can that be?

  Save

  Let's start with colors – they're Balmy Blue with Daffodil Delight and Garden Green.  So fresh and spring-like.  

  The designer paper is called Country Gingham seen here. 

  The images and greetings are all from the Sweet Citrus stamp set. It comes in a bundle with dies AND a Hybrid embossing folder. See it here

  What is a Hybrid embossing folder?  It's one that allows you to cut AND texture at the same time.  You can use it the usual way as well.  But using the die & folder together eliminates a step.  I show how it's done in the video here. 

  Save

  There are many reasons to get this bundle but the greetings are a big one.  So perfect and coordinate nicely with the stamp theme.

  I shared lots of samples in the video; I hope you watch it!  Remember to follow me on Facebook here or on YouTube here.
