NEW Soft Seedlings set ideas


I joined a few online swaps and decided to use the Soft Seedlings set (seen here) as I wasn't quite ready to play with Christmas yet.  I love the distinktive quality of the main image and the greetings are some I use often. *Distinktive is a process Stampin' Up! developed for their images that gives multiple hues of color on a stamp. 

For my colors I chose to use Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent and a bit of Evening Evergreen with Vanilla. 

Details:

  • I stamped the background in Soft Succulent ink on the Vanilla CS and sponged the edges.  
  • The strip of Soft Succulent CS is embossed with the new Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder. 
  • I stamped the leaf images in Soft Succulent ink and sponged ink directly on the stamp.  I added a bit of Cherry Cobbler on one side and Evergreen on the other. Then huffed and stamped on a scrap of Vanilla CS.  It's fussy cut and added to the card with a Vanilla twine bow.  
  • The greeting is from the stamp set and die-cut with a die from the Potted Succulents dies. 

Measurements:

  • Cherry Cobbler card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Vanilla 4 5/8" X 2 3/4"
  • Soft Succulent 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"

  • Beautiful Floral card kit to go; or choose the tutorial option. While supplies last


    The Violet Dreams designer paper is the star of these pretty cards for my August card kit to go. If you love purple this kit is for you!

    All but one card of the 5 designs are fun fold layouts. This floral themed designer paper includes a sheet of pre-cut ephemera which makes creating a breeze. I added the Fresh Freesia ribbon and rhinestone gems and include them in the kit to go.

    I design my card kits specifically to make them easy to finish; you need a few inks and stamped greetings. You will need to cut your new designer paper using my tutorial as a guide. Everything else is pre-cut for you; perfect for easy crafting!

    Choose from the pre-cut kit to go which includes approximately $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards and PDF tutorial for $33. Click here.

    Or choose the PDF tutorial for $17. Click here for that option.

    The tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. The kit to go is mailed out mid August.

    I have many kits available and some are discounted; check them all out here.

  • Check out this neat Botanical Expressions fun fold card


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It features a new die from the Online store called Botanical Expressions:

    You can see a glimpse of the die in the photo above. It cuts the leaves out but not the edge, so you can make the leaf element as wide as you’d like. See this die here.

    My colors include White with Peaceful Pine. The designer paper is the Moonlit Flora DSP seen here. The greeting tag is from the Scalloped Blooms dies. I’ve been using the greeting tags in this set of dies a lot.

    This card fold is what I’m calling a Vertical Book-binding Z-fold.

    The greeting and butterflies are from the Fern & Flora bundle seen here

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card with measurements & directions. Click here.

    And below is the video showing you how to assemble this card plus my newest tutorials & card kits to go.

  • Another sample using DSP strips; the pretty Velvet Meadow DSP


    I shared a card using a strips technique a few days ago and wanted to share the card that inspired it today.

    Here are the products I used: Velvet Meadow DSP, Bubble Bath, Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine CS. The greeting is from the Flowering Meadow stamp set and the scalloped tags are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here.

    When using up your strips you can adhere them diagonally across your card stock, leaving a small space between each. Once this CS is filled in, trim off the excess on the edges.

    The Velvet Meadow specialty paper has a fuzzy, flocked feel to the flowers and some leaves. It’s luxurious! Check it out here.
    I fussy cut the flower and leaves to add to the greeting.
