Paper Scraps & Window dies; a perfect match up for incredible card ideas!

I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend.  We spent it with most of my kids – played games, made meals and watched a few shows.  It was nice & relaxing.

Here's another card I made with leftover scraps of card stock.  I shared this technique on my weekly Live video. See it here for tips.

It features lots of retiring product too; I checked yesterday and they're all still available!  

I shared two versions; the blues/greens and the rainbow. Which do you prefer?  

Scraps this or that Save

On this colorful version I used mostly retiring colors of Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Polished Pink as well as Coastal Cabana and the returning Berry Burst.

Here are all three of my window cards made with leftover cardstock strips.  I love using up my stash of scraps!  

The card on the lower left features the retiring Picture This dies seen here; they're on sale too!

  • Another way to feature your embossing folder…..

    Yesterday I shared one way to use ink on an embossed layer. Today I’m sharing another.

    Look closely at the card below. See how there are two different colors on this textured surface? I shared how to do this on last week’s video (see below).

    This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It just ran out of stock and may be a month or more before it returns. Please add your email so you’re notified when it’s back.

    Here’s how to do this: I inked the smoother side of my folder (the textured areas are recessed) with Hydrangea Hue ink. I then placed my CS on the opposite side of the folder, closed it and ran it through my Cut & Emboss Machine.
    It leaves the raised areas with the original CS color and the rest darker. It’s truly beautiful.

    Here are both cards; with the addition of Peaceful Pine:

    Save

    Simple & gorgeous! These cards will seem like you went above and beyond but they’re so simple!

    I used the Classic Labels Mix & Match Ephemera for my greetings as well as the new stamp set called Scalloped Blooms seen here.

    I also tried it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder too.

    Below is the video tutorial where I share how to achieve this technique. I hope you watch it and try it!

  • How to make the embossing folder the star of your card; with video!

    I shared a few ways to highlight the texture on your 3D embossing folders on last week’s video. I shared the cards I created with the 5 new In Colors and how it’s done.

    Save

    This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently out of stock unfortunately. Please put your name on the list to be notified when it’s back.

    Steps: I textured the CS first. Then rubbed my Craft White ink pad over it lightly. It catches on all the pretty raised areas, highlighting them beautifully. This can take some practice and I recommend you ink pad not be fully inked.

    Save

    I wrapped matching In Color ribbons across the cards and added a greeting. So simple but stunning in person.

    Save

    The greeting die-cuts are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here. The greetings are from the Opulent Oasis & Balloon Festoon stamp sets.

    Save

    Of course this technique; I’m calling it ‘white-washing’ shows up best on darker card stock. Here’s one I did with the Fern & Flora embossing folder seen here:

    This is our new Peaceful Pine in color. The greeting tag is from the new Classic Labels Mix & Match ephemera seen here. Love these pretty White labels!
