  • Life is Beautiful Apple Tree; get the secret to easy apples!


    Here's one more card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set. We made this one at my August Card Clubs.  

    The colors are the new In Color Just Jade with Early Espresso & Real Red.  See the tiny 'apples' on the tree?  Well I wanted just a few apples from the large bokeh dots image. I have a surprising way of stamping just a few of the stamp image.  I dare you to try it!  Watch the video below to see what I did! 

    That pretty stitched shape is from the Celebration Label dies seen here.  There are 5 sizes of this shape in the set! 


    I'm so happy with all of the projects people are making with this stamp set!  It's been fun to see how much everyone seems to like it!  

    Measurements: 

    • Just Jade card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
      Very Vanilla 4 3/8" X 3 1/8" die-cut
      Early Espresso 2" X 4 1/4"
      Real Red 1" X 5 1/2"

  • Cool technique with the Wink of Stella pen!


    There are times I like to color and others that I don't. I came up with this cool technique using the Wink of Stella pen and White Craft ink to highlight my main image. 

    I pressed a clear block directly onto my White Craft ink pad and used that to pick up the ink with my Wink of Stella pen. You sure don't have to use a clear block but I didn't want to get Wink of Stella in my ink pad. You could use a paper plate or any other non porous surface.   

    I used Purple Posy, Pool Party and Seaside Spray on the cards below. 

    Technique tips:

    • Light colored card stock works best here; the White ink can obscure the stamped image on dark card stock.
    • Squeeze out a bit of the Wink of Stella liquid to make a small puddle to mix with the White ink for easier painting. 
    • Paint the image once and go back and highlight parts of it if you want more 'lightness'. 
    • Black Memento ink works fine to stamp your image
    • This should work nicely on a heat embossed image! 
    • You can use the White Craft ink refill instead of an ink pad but a little drop goes a long way! 

    I also used Versamark to create a background effect on the card base, stamping the main image multiple times. I love how soft a Versamark background is and I don't use it near enough.  This repetitive stamping could be very busy if done in black or a darker color.  

    Here's the video with 3 different coloring techniques!

  • September Kits to Go – Gilded Autumn and Banner Year; each with 3 options!


    Who's ready for Fall?  It's coming faster than I want!  But it does give me the opportunity to play with Autumn themed cards.  

    I chose the Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper as my inspiration for this month's kit to go cards.  They DSP is so pretty!  I absolutely love the addition of Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze to this years colors.  

    The cards include a few fun fold designs, which I love to make.  There are 5 different cards and you'll receive 2 of each in the kit.  Change them up with either different choices of paper or greetings if you'd like.  

    This kit includes $20 in product and the pre-cut cards kit.  And it's just $28!!  That means you're paying about $4 for the 10 cards!  

    • 1/2" package Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP
    • The Basket Weave metallic ribbon combo pack
    • 1/2" pkg Champagne Rhinestones
    • 10 pre-cut cards including punches and die-cuts (Texturing is not done for you)
    • PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies and step by step directions. The Tutorial is emailed to you immediately upon payment.
    • The kit will be mailed to you at the end of September. 
    • *This kit will be sent to my monthly kit subscribers.  If you'd like to subscribe to receive a kit every month click here.  

    Everything is cut for you except the Designer Paper.  You'll use your own paper trimmer to do that. 

    You will need the following to finish your cards like mine:

    • Beautiful Autumn stamp set (can easily substitute other greetings)
    • ink pads – Cajun Craze, Early Espresso & Mint Macaron
    • Paper Trimmer
    • Embossing folders (not absolutely necessary)
    • Sponges, ruler
    • Adhesives

    You can choose from the following; the cards and product kit, adding on the Beautiful Autumn bundle (extra 10% discount) to the kit or just the pdf tutorial.  Click here to order

    I'm also offering a second cards kit this month.  If you'd like both I will combine shipping as I can fit them all in one package and still send via Priority mail.  Please use this link to purchase both kits.  

    This kit includes the Banner Year stamp set and features all Fun Fold cards with upcoming Holiday themes!  

    This kit is also just $28 and includes the Banner Year stamp set, the pdf tutorial and the 8 cards pre-cut kit.  You will need a few ink pads and adhesive to finish your cards.  With the tutorial you can make many more with your new stamp set!
