Perched in a Tree Ink Blending sunset technique

August 25, 2022

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

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.

Hot Dog; what an amazing fun fold card!

March 19, 2021
Have you been enjoying the window cards I've shared this week? I have more coming tomorrow! My Flowerbug's Team amaze me each and every month. They really put effort into creating incredible projects like this fun & amazing card Annette made with the Hot Dot stamp set!

I was blown away by it! She based her colors off of the Playful Pets designer paper seen here. *this will likely retire in a week!

It took a lot of time and effort into lining up the Stitched Nested Label dies so the Real Red window lined up with the inside layers. She told me that she adhered the designer paper to the front of the card before die-cutting the window. She did by placing the die between the layers cutting side up; in the middle of the card itself. That takes some patience in lining it all up!

Two Unique Window cards with Dragonfly Dreams & Soar Confidently stamp sets.

March 18, 2021

I'm featuring our Team Swaps this week and the theme was 'window cards'. I was so impressed with each and every one of them!

First up is Deloris's card with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set seen here.

The little dragonfly is from the Dragonfly Punch which is in the Dragonfly Garden bundle seen here.

Save

She used two of the Stitched Label dies and the Subtle embossing folder. Her colors are Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry. I believe she colored the flowers in with Blends markers. Beautiful job!

*The greeting and die-cut are retired and not currently available.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Ginny. She used the Oval dies and the Soar Confidently stamp set seen here.

Save

Her colors are Crumb Cake with Soft Suede & Vanilla. That great texture is from the Tasteful Textile folder in the annual catalog. Adding a bit of color to the balloon really makes it stand out! Take a look at the inside!
