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.

  • Incredible Sweet Citrus projects; part 2

    Continuing on from yesterday's post seen here, I'm sharing more of Karen's 'Artist of the Month' projects. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set & dies.

    Each month one of my Flowerbug's team members takes a turn (voluntarily of course!) to feature a bundle, sharing their projects.  They keep the bundle (free!) and I get the projects to share with all of you.  

    Her first card features limes, using Parakeet Party.  I believe her 'rind' is Garden Green.

    She also made these two adorable candy boxes.  

    Sweet Citrus treats Save

    The one below is filled with lemon candies; so perfect for this stamp set.

    This second box is for Orange Tic Tacs.  It fits in there so perfectly! 

    I know she found the pattern online but I don't have the link. It opens from the front and is tied closed with twine.

    And lastly is a super cute fun fold featuring coconuts! Yes; you can create coconuts with the Sweet Citrus stamps!

    Sweet Citrus coconuts Save

    She stamped the coconuts in brown ink on White card stock and colored in the centers with Gray Granite ink using a water painter, leaving the white coconut ring.

    She used the Delicate Desert DSP from the Spring catalog; it has retired now however.

    It's a bit too much to share measurements here so I'll plan to create a card like this on a future video.

    You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here.  And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.

  • Incredible Sweet Citrus cards by Karen – lots of ‘Wow’s’!

    Karen was our Team Artist of the Month in April and she knocked it out of the park! I cannot believe I haven't shared them yet….. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set, Hybrid embossing folder & dies.  Look at these gorgeous cards! 

    Sweet Citrus 4 Save

    Her colors are Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide.  Love those limes and the turquoise leaves.  

    Sweet Citrus 2 Save

    The card above features Mango Melody with Polished Pink; these colors have since retired. That striped paper was a host paper in the last catalog.  The white edge die-cut is from the Basic Borders dies.  

    Sweet Citrus 6 Save

    LOVE these bright colors with Starry Sky!  Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple green.  Those vellum leaves and sprigs are a wonderful accent (from the Bough punch).  

    Sweet Citrus fruit medley Save

    this last card features Pumpkin Pie with Parakeet Party, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil. She called this card 'Fruit Salad' since it combines many of the fruits she used in other cards. 

    You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here.  And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.

  • Lasting Joy card swaps

    Sharing a few more card swaps I received recently, this time using the Lasting Joy stamp set.  

    This first card was made with the Countryside Inn designer paper and the Contour Scallops dies.  

    Lasting Joy swap Save

    The card measures 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". Colors include Night of Navy & Boho Blue.  I do not have the name of the creator of this card; sometimes the name gets lost if they add a business card instead of a sticky note in the back. 

    Here's a photo of the Lasting Joy stamp set.  Gorgeous greetings and a few extra images for embellishing.

    LASTING JOY PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

    This next card uses the same Lasting Joy stamp set but in Fresh Freesia and bubble Bath colors.  

    Lasting Joy swap Save

    Evie DiPiazza made this card; she used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper and the Elegant Borders dies for that pretty die-cut edge.  Here's a link to these dies.
