Pick of the Patch cards with Abundant Beauty masks & video

I made these pretty fall cards on last week's Live video. I share a Live video on my Facebook page here each Tuesday at 11am CT. 

I love the multi-colored background!

I used three colors of ink and the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks on the leafy background.  Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie and a bit of Wild Wheat.

I textured the Garden Green layer with the Basics 3D embossing folder (online Exclusive seen here).  The zig-zag is from the Basic Borders dies.  

I used the same decorative mask to add some detail to the inside of the card too. Watch the video below to see my tips on multiple inks and masks.

I am so glad we have a Pumpkin builder punch in!  It has two sizes of pumpkins and a stem and leaf; all coordinates with the Pick of the Patch stamp set. These products go live for customers Wednesday, September 6th!

• NEW Everyday Details card with a unique Designer Paper layout with video tutorial

  December 28, 2023

  ---

  I joined quite a few online card swaps for the new 2024 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs and today's post features one of them. 

  Save

  It features the Everyday Details bundle and the Poetic Expressions designer series paper. Both are in the upcoming 2024 Spring Catalog that goes live on January 4th.  The colors include Boho Blue & Misty Moonlight with White. 

  There's a few special details I'd like to point out:

  1. The designer paper triangle is originally a 4" square, cut in half. I added it to a textured layer (4" X 5 1/4")
  2. The dotted circle die-cut is from the Everyday Details bundle; there are a variety of sizes in the set. It is adhered over a White stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 
  3. I stamped the cup image in Misty Moonlight ink. The flower is colored a soft white by using our Craft White ink and a Wink of Stella pen. I shared how to do this in the video here.  You can also use a Blender pen, a water pen or Watercolor Pencils.

  Here's a close-up of this technique.

  I thought I'd take a photo of all of the swaps before I mailed them out:

  I hope you'll try this easy but unique card layout!

• Translucent Florals card made with colored vellum

  December 27, 2023

  ---

  I created this pretty card with the Translucent Florals bundle.  I used our vellum card stock and changed it from opaque to Fresh Freesia. 

  Save

  It's really easy to do.  Here's how:

  1. I cut a good size piece of vellum from the main sheet and laid it onto my grid paper.
  2. Then I pressed my open ink pad onto the card stock until it was covered.
  3. To smooth the ink out use sponges or a blending brush. Let dry or heat set before die-cutting. 
  4. Die-cut the flowers, leaves and white centers

  Products & measurements:

  • Translucent Floral bundle
  • White card stock – card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score & fold at 4 1/4"
  • Painted Texture embossing folder – white is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  • Fresh Freesia card stock 3 7/8" X 4 7/8"
  • Granny Apple Green 4 1/4" X 1" strip 
  • Vellum card stock – a large piece colored with Fresh Freesia ink and a small piece with Granny Apple Green ink
  • Blending Brushes 

  Here's a photo of this pretty bundle. See it here.
