Perched in a Tree Ink Blending sunset technique

I can't get enough of the Perched in a Tree bundle!  We made these cards at my August Card Clubs this month: 

Perched in a Tree Aug Club. Save

They had the choice of adding the bird or a set of die-cut, colored leaves.  We added color to both with our Blending Brushes using Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue for the bird and Bermuda Bay & Mango Melody on the leaves.  

The greetings are from the Soft Seedlings stamp set stamped on a 1" X 4 1/4" Vanilla CS strip.

If you have trouble getting a smooth Ink Blending background please watch the video to catch my tips.  

From the top down I used these colors:  Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody & either Balmy Blue or Crumb Cake on the bottom.  You might think I used a yellow color on the upper right card but it's just very light Mango Melody.

The Aspen dies are available in three ways – in the Bundle at a 10% discount, separately from the Perched in a Tree stamp set or free during August & our Sale-a-Bration promotion. 

*Best buy: purchase the Perched in a Tree bundle in August and choose a $50 Sale-a-Bration choice for free!  See them all here.

  • Double Diagonal card fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

    Have you ever made a double diagonal card fold before?  They're a little bit addictive and so easy. This layout is also a great way to combine coordinating designer papers & use up your stash! 

     

    With you in Mind Plaid. Save

    Here I used the new Timeless Plaid 6 X 6" DSP along with the With You in Mind stamp set.  I love the nice big greetings.

    When making this card you start out with a base 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the outer diagonal piece from the score line down to the corner.  This is then flipped and adhered to the attached card base.  Watch the video here or below to see how to do it.

    I used the 'To the Point' punch along with the 2 3/8" circle punch here.  They work beautifully together.

  • Curtain fun fold card with video & free project sheet

    I shared this neat curtain fold card on a video last week.  If you missed it click here to see it.  Or slide down a bit.  

    With you in Mind plaid birthday Save

    I chose a few new products from the Spring catalog including the wonderful With You in Mind stamp set & Timeless Plaid designer series paper.  The colors include Lost Lagoon with Pebbled Path & White.  

    If you haven't made a curtain fold yet they're quite easy if you get the scoring correct.  I got these measurements from my friend Susie Wood.  It's a 6" X 3" piece of DSP scored at 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 4 1/4" & 4 3/4". I then made a mark on the far right down 1" and cut off the bottom right corner from the first score-line on the bottom to the upper right.

    I made a few of these and decided to try stamping the Lost Lagoon layer instead of texturing it with the Plaid 3D embossing folder (right card).  Which do you prefer?

    The greetings are stamped on a die-cut from the Greetings of the Season dies seen here.  It's a good time to order those large items like dies because you can earn free products during Sale-a-Bration.
