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:

Save

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.

Save

Can you spot the main difference between these two cards?

Save

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?

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Mountain Air; a gorgeous scene

March 2, 2020

You might know that I love creating scenic cards. Even though my nickname is 'Flowerbug' that's because I am a gardener; not because I love flowers. I do! But when making cards I actually lean towards botanicals or scenes with trees and water. This card is a perfect example of my 'style' using the Mountain Air bundle seen here.

I created it on my Facebook Live two weeks ago. It's super easy to make! Here's a link to it on FB.

Save

The colors here are Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and Whisper White. I did use one of the dies from the Mountain Air bundle; that pretty detailed tree. I also sponged the mountains and trees a bit then stamped the trees again upside down in White Craft ink for 'water'. The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set.

I love this set so much I am featuring it in March. Anyone who purchases the Mountain Air stamp set or bundle from me (past or in March) qualifies to receive the 10 cards project tutorial. And all online orders (of any amount) will also receive it!

Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!

February 28, 2020
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.

Save

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.

The Mountain Air bundle is my special for March. Everyone who purchases it from me will receive a free 10 cards tutorial! Past and present orders count! You can see it here.

Over the Moon Fun-Fold card

February 27, 2020
My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month. Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month. They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!

It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.

Save

Isn't it cute? It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here. Aren't they perfect?!!!
