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.

Blossoms in Bloom; puzzling it together?

June 25, 2020

Here's an incredible card featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle made by my Flowerbug's team member Jacki for a new catalog card swap.

Save

I just love these colors together; Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.

Can you tell that she stamped the large floral image on her White CS using Misty Moonlight? Then she added die-cut layers in White, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade. Yes; she cut out three dies for each card and puzzle fit them over the stamped image!!! Amazing, but stunning!

If you want to see this bundle online, click here.

I believe she cased this card from Pinterest; made by Mary Detherage.

Colorful Sunflowers the easy way!

June 23, 2020
Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps. I believe she found the idea on Pinterest. I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors!

The card base is Bumblebee. She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together. Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares. You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!

Measurements:
- Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- White – 5 1/4" X 4"
- Black 3 3/4" square
- Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.

For the card above I used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and the Tasteful Labels dies. There are two separate pieces of Misty Moonlight and White CS below the DSP panel. The greeting is from the Lovely You stamp set.

Save

I used the Lovely You stamp set in Magenta Madness and Just Jade. That pretty texture is the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. The window is made with the Label Me Lovely punch seen here.

I had to use my new favorite stamp set Forever Fern for this window card. I stamped the same leaf image repeatedly in Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake. Love blues and browns together! The circle is a 2" punch and the pretty label die is the Tasteful Labels again. My favorite set of label dies now!

  Main window layer 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  Layered piece 3 3/4" X 5" (the Magenta card has a tighter layer; 3 5/8" X 4 7/8")
