Peaceful Poppies cards kit to go; RSVP by March 19th!


The cards kit to go features the Peaceful Poppies designer paper. It's full of hand painted blooms accented by watercolor effects all inspired by fields of poppies.   

The 5 designs include two unique fun fold cards which are easy to make yet special for the recipient. 
 
 
This kit to go includes $20 in actual product (before tax & shipping).  You're getting the 10 cards pre-cut kit for just $5!  See those beautiful die-cuts and trim pieces? They are included in my kits!  I do the time consuming work for you so you can enjoy the fun of just stamping and assembly. 
*If you like pre-cut card kits you will LOVE my monthly kits to go!  Here are some comments from my subscribers:

– I made all the cards, and had a great time.  I loved all the different folds and color choices.  Thanks for making my week!

– Your directions are always so easy to follow and your projects are unique.

– I just received the January card kit and love it!

– I loved these cards; they were so fun to make. 

Here's one of the fun-fold cards in this month's kit.  It has a pocket for your greeting and/or a gift card if you'd like to add one.
 
 
I did use the poppy image from the Painted Poppies set in the card above. 
For my greetings I used the Peaceful Moments stamp set seen below.  If you add it on you will get a free Sale-a-Bration choice with your kit. Or choose the Peaceful Moments bundle  and earn you a free SAB choice. See your free choices here.
The Painted Poppies bundle is not available right now but should be back mid April! Both of these bundles coordinate together beautifully and are part of the Peaceful Poppies suite on pages 24-27 in the mini catalog.

  • Easter Bunny Floating Panel card with a free project sheet & video tutorial!


    We made this sweet card at my March Card Clubs – it features the Easter Bunny bundle.  This bundle is currently unavailable.  you can get the Easter Bunny stamp set now but the Bunny punch is returning in May. 

    It's a Floating Panel fun fold card; one of my current favorite folds lately.  It's both fun to make and easy to create too!  

    My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Daffodil Delight.   Below you'll see the baby version. I gave my gals the choice of Easter or baby.  

    The greetings for the baby card are from Charming Sentiments. Click here for the PDF project sheet for measurements & products used. 

    I used a variety of products on this card: 

    • Stamps – Easter Bunny, Charming Sentiments
    • Ink – Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss
    • Paper – Fresh Freesia, Daffodil, Blackberry Bliss, Basic White, Tea Boutique, Butterfly Kisses, Flowers & More host
    • Other – Basic Borders dies, Cane Weave 3D folder, Dimensionals, Brass Butterflies 

    Do you see his little cottontail? I tore off a piece from a cotton ball and rolled it into a ball. It's adhered with out Multipurpose liquid glue.   

    Here are the measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2". Scraps for bunny & circle punch. Two strips 1/2" X 1 1/2" for the floating panel hinges
      • DSP pieces four pieces at 1 1/4" X 4"
      • White front square 2 3/4", inside 5 1/4" X 4"
      • Blackberry Bliss square 2 7/8"
      • Greeting strips 3/4" X 3 1/2"

    Here's a tip on the Floating panel:  You need just two pieces of card stock about 1/2" X 2 1/2". Fold them in half and adhere to the center fold; one on each side.  Your front panel is adhered to this. 

    *Watch the video below (or click here) where I share the tips on creating this card; it's the second project of 4!

    Have you ever done the baby swipe technique?  It's so fun; playing with baby wipes and ink refills is a bit addictive!  

    I made this card for our March Team swap; the theme was to use a technique involving ink refills.  

    My colors include Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink and Black.  

    Other products used:

    Can you spot the shimmer?  I used the Pearlescent paper from the Annual Catalog.  See it here. 

    It was the perfect sheen for this technique as the moist ink did not absorb quickly like it might for regular card stock. Glossy paper would also work well. 

    After I added the color, I let it dry for an hour or so.  Then I textured it with one of the embossing folders in the 3D Basics pack seen here.  These are currently out of stock but they'll be back in May. 

    Below you can see the difference in my cards; especially the colors. One is soft and subtle and the other more vibrant.  This happens as you work with your baby wipe; the first few swipes are bold and the next few are much softer. 

    Tips for success: 

    • Fold and roll your baby wipe in a tube.  Hold it tightly and add a few drops of ink refills. 
    • Add each color separately in a row.  I tend to add enough for about 1/2" of surface. 
    • Start swiping off your paper and then onto it.  You can do straight swipes or get creative and add curves or swirls. Let dry.
    • Shimmery, pearlescent or glossy works best. But you can do it on regular card stock too. 
    • I suggest you use light to medium colors. 

    Notice the colors of the butterflies? I colored the Brass Butterflies with a Polished Pink blends marker for the left card.  I wasn't sure I liked it or not so left them uncolored for my swap cards.  

    Watch the video here or click on the image below to see this technique. It's the last technique I share in the video.
