There are just a few days left of the Bonus Days special! Don't miss out on the savings!

July Bonus days . Save

~~~

This week I'm sharing our wonderful array of Team card swaps from July. This month our theme was 'thank you cards' without flowers. 

The two cards on this post both feature the new Changing Leaves bundle from our online exclusives. I shared a few ideas in a recent video you can see here. 

Robin made this first card; it's simply gorgeous! 

July Robin Changing Leaves Save

Her colors include Old Olive, Coastal Cabana and Wild Wheat. I love the pretty textured White background so much; it really shows off the leaves & die-cuts.

The greeting & die-cut are included in the Changing Leaves bundle. 

Here's a link to the Changing Leaves bundle. It includes the stamp set, dies and matching hybrid embossing folder. See the link to my video above to see how a hybrid embossing folder works.

Next is Rita's pretty card. She used the same bundle.

Her colors include Highland Heather, Shy Shamrock and Basic Beige. She also used the Spotlight on Nature dies for her circles. She sponged a bit of Basic Beige ink onto the embossed layer to highlight the texture.  

Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!

  • Another way to use the Gorgeous Garden dies in a fun fold card with video tutorial

    I shared this beautiful card on a recent video.  I sure had fun with the colors on this card!

    Garden Wishes double decker Save

    It's a double-decker fun fold card.  It might look hard but it sure isn't!  All you need to add is a simple box between the middle layer and the inside back of the card.  Watch the video here to see how it's done.  

    Garden Wishes double decker Save

    Using our Blending Brushes I added the three colors (Tahitian Tide, Brilliant Blue & Gorgeous Grape) to a piece of White cardstock.  I then used the Garden dies to die-cut it out.  I adhered this to the back of the card base before adding the 'box' to create the double-decker fun fold card. 

    I created a second colorful die-cut so I could add extra details to the cards.   

    Supplies:

    • Basic White & Brilliant Blue card stock
    • Vellum Basics specialty paper seen here
    • Inks – Brilliant Blue, Gorgeous Grape & Tahitian Tide
    • Lasting Joy stamp set seen here
    • Gorgeous Garden dies
    • Basic 3D embossing folders seen here
    • Stylish Shapes dies for the circles
    • Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped rectangle
    • Blending Brushes

    Garden Wishes double-decker both Save

    Double-decker card measurements:

    • White card 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”, front textured layer is 1 7/8” X 5 ¼”,
    • White for die-cut 4” X 5 ¼”, Scalloped die-cut 3 1/8” X 4 ½”
    • Box is 3 ½” X 4” – score every ¾”
    • Circle die-cuts – 2 3/4" white & 3" blue 

    Here are both cards shown in the video below.

  • Gorgeous Garden dies & Blending Brushes; wow!

    Check out this beautiful card made with the Gorgeous Garden dies!  

    Garden Wishes leaves Lasting Joy Save

    I think it's stunning.  Don't you love the pretty blending of the greens? I simply added one color to the finished die-cut.  I cut it out from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added Pretty Peacock ink with a blending brush in a few areas.  Easy!  

    I was surprised that the finished color (after adding Pretty Peacock to Lemon Lime Twist) was close to Shaded Spruce.  Who knew?!  So I added a 1/4" strip to the left edge of the card to bring in that color and also stamped the greetings in Shaded Spruce too.  

    Tip: Adding your colors in two or more ways to your project gives them a cohesive look. For example if I use green card stock I will add a layer of green or a stamped image. If you struggle with choosing color combinations stick with just two colors.  Or better yet try a monochromatic card – add one color to a neutral like white, browns or black.

    I used the Lasting Joy set for my greetings.  I really love this set with the mixed fonts; I find I use it often.

    I added a stitched circle to the left side to anchor the greeting.  Both of these dies are from the Stylish Shapes dies; they're a must have! See them here.

  • More Earthen Textures card ideas

    Here is another simple but pretty card I made on last week's Live video. 

    Earthen Textures 2 Save

    It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle.  Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon.   But they'll be back I'm sure.  You can see them here.  

    I'm not quite ready for fall yet but I do love this color combination of Pecan Pie & Pretty Peacock.  A little touch of gold adds some elegance with the Gold Distressed paper and Festive Pearls.  I added more detail with a stitched edge with the Stitched with Whimsy dies. That notebook die-cut edge is from the Gorgeously Made dies seen here.  

    And here's a very simple version with a similar layout:

    I didn't even add any bling or embellishments to this one.  I think it needs something… maybe gold pearls? 

    I stamped the vase in Pecan Pie on Basic White and die-cut it out.  Then added another die-cut of the handles from our Gold Distressed paper. The greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Pretty Peacock card stock.

    The nice thing about this layout is you can get 5 card fronts from one 8 1/2" X 11" paper when using my 5 at a time layouts.  See them here on this post. 

    You can see more Earthen Textures cards on the video here.  Don't forget to subscribe to either my FB page here to join in the Live's each Tuesday morning.  Or follow me on YouTube here.
