• 2 more Botanical Layers card ideas!

  June 4, 2022

  ---

  Once I started I couldn't seem to stop creating with the Botanical Layers stamp set.  I made this card for an online swap:

  

  It's a Dutch door monochromatic card in Orchid Oasis.  Do you like these type of cards as much as I do?  I find cards with one main color very soothing to the eye and just plain pretty!  

  I stamped the main image multiple times without reinking.  I love that about our inks; you can get multiple hues with one color. 

  Details:

  • The card front opens at the bottom only.  
  • I used the Stitched Greenery die for the inside White layer.  
  • There is a half circle of Orchid Oasis ombre glimmer paper at the top with the bow.  
  • The tag is from the Tea Cup dies; the greeting is from the Cup of Tea stamp set. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X8 1/2"; score at 4 1/4" then trim off at 2 3/4" up to the top of the card.  Save this piece for the front layer
  • Front layer (cut from the card base) is 2 3/4" X 4"
  • White front is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

  

  This next card was made with the Inked Block technique. 

  Here's how:

  • I colored an 'H' block with Stampin' Write markers in Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Tahitian Tide. 
  • Then I spritzed alcohol on it (you can use water; alcohol dries faster) and pressed it onto my White CS and let it dry. 
  • Lay a piece of copy paper over it and set something heavy on it so it dries flat. 

  After it's dry I stamped the botanical image in Starry Sky ink and used the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

  The greeting is also from the Botanical Layers set; the die-cut is from the All That dies. 

  You can see a video on this technique here.

• Pretty Prints card kit to go in June

  June 3, 2022

  ---

  Check out these colorful cards for this month's kit to go! I am featuring the Pretty Prints designer paper and the Lovely Layers Vellum.  

  

  There's quite a variety of cards here from fun birthday to pretty all occasions cards.  I used two stamp sets for the greetings here – Good Feelings & Nature's Prints. I design my kit cards around the colors & product so you can use greetings you already own, but if you'd prefer you can add on either or both stamp sets to the kits. 

  This kit includes these 10 striking cards and the PDF tutorial.  Opt in to get one by June 19th here.  

  The kit includes the following:

  • 10 pre-cut cards with die-cuts & punched pieces 
  • 1/2 pkg Pretty Prints designer paper 6" X 12"
  • a share of the Lovely Layers Vellum
  • a share of the Iridescent Rhinestones
  • The PDF tutorial with step by step instructions, measurements, supplies & photos
  • It does not include stamped images or stamps.  You can add it on either the Good Feelings or Nature's Thoughts.

  Choose the kit to go here; it's $28

  The PDF tutorial is here.  $15

  **The PDF is emailed to you immediately after payment. The Kit is mailed out via Priority Mail at the end of June, 2022.

  Add on the Good Feelings stamp set at 10% off!  Email me at lagreff60@gmail.com to get a combines price. 

  *This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive.  Interested in getting a pre-cut cards kit each month? Message me here!

  Here's a video I made featuring this pretty vellum:
