Here’s the card I featured on last week’s video. We made it at my February card clubs locally and it was a big hit!

My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie & Basic Beige. There are two different pieces of the designer paper that’s called Nature Walk and can be seen here.

There are lots of pieces and extra elements to this card. It was super fun to put together. That neat striped embossing folder on the extra Lost Lagoon layer is called Lovely Stripes and can be seen here. It’s one of my new favorites.

This card is kept closed by the narrow ‘flap’ attached to the right side of the card. I added a small triangle to the DSP layer to tuck the corner into. Works great To hold that flap down!

The flap is adhered ‘underneath’ the DSP layer inside the card. *note the other embossing folder used on the card above. It’s called Stone & Vine and is also a deeply textured folder seen here.

There are many, many details on this card I want to highlight. Here goes:

  • The die-cut leaves and ‘wood’ piece under the greeting are from the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.
  • The die-cut leaves are cut out from our two-sided card stock. I love that you can choose the light or the dark side which gives more color choices!
  • I added Pecan Pie ink to that wood die-cut with a blending brush.
  • The greeting is from the Three Banner punch bundle seen here.

I created a free project sheet you can print or download. Click to see it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card; I hope you watch it as I give multiple tips and ways to make your crafting process easier.

    On this week's Live video I shared 3 pretty projects featuring the new Splendid Thoughts bundle from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  Here's the first one: 

    The colors include Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, White and Calypso Coral with a few Copper elements too.  

    I stamped the background on the Petal Pink card base using one of the leaf images in Petal Pink ink. The textured White adds a soft background to the many leaf die-cuts. 

    Can you spot the main difference between these two cards? 

    I used one of the dies in the Splendid Stems dies for the greeting piece on the right card. Which do you prefer?  

    And here's my favorite card I shared in the video.  I cased the idea from my friend Lorri Heiling.  It's so simple but super special with the foil stitched squares and die-cut leaf.  There's something extra special about this leaf die-cut. Can you tell what it is?  

    It's hard to see in the photo but the entire leaf is on dimensionals.  What?!  Yes!  I adhered a piece of White card stock to our Foam Adhesive Sheets seen here and then die-cut it all at once.  So not the entire leaf is popped up.  So cool and easily noticed in person.  


    The card above is made with a copper colored foil piece and the one below is in Fresh Freesia.  I also added an extra textured layer to the card base. 


    The greetings are from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set on a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.  A thin strip of Fresh Freesia CS under the greeting pulls it all together.

  • Splendid Day cards with an easy background technique; video too.


    Check out this pretty card using the Splendid Thoughts bundle.  I shared how to make it in a recent Live video seen here.  

    I think the Brick background is so pretty with the die-cuts.  I used the 'Direct to Paper' technique.  I used the Brick Wall embossing folder on the Calypso Coral CS and then used an open White Craft ink pad to lightly brush ink onto the textured CS.  I purposely keep my White Craft ink less inked than desired because I love doing this!  If yours is well inked you may want to use a sponge instead.  

    The colors include White, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink.  The Splendid Day Specialty designer paper is gorgeous and full of Foil & Copper accents on one side and subtle prints on the other.  Here's what the entire suite looks like.  It will be available tomorrow, July 1st.

    You can get a share of this beautiful paper in my new Holiday Catalog paper share.  Reserve yours here now! 


    I stamped a few of the die-cuts and the greeting in Smoky Slate ink.  I fussy cut the greeting and added it to the curved 'half circle' die-cut over the ribbon.  I'll share more Splendid Thoughts projects tomorrow.
